fix: protocol supports body highlight element

cli/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ _Released 1/2/2024 (PENDING)_
 - Now 'node_modules' will not be ignored if a project path or a provided path to spec files contains it. Fixes [#23616](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/23616).
 - Updated display of assertions and commands with a URL argument to escape markdown formatting so that values are displayed as is and assertion values display as bold. Fixes [#24960](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/24960) and [#28100](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/28100).
 - When generating assertions via Cypress Studio, the preview of the generated assertions now correctly displays the past tense of 'expected' instead of 'expect'. Fixed in [#28593](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/28593).
+- Fixed a regression in [`13.6.2`](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/references/changelog/13.6.2) where the `body` element was not highlighted correctly in Test Replay. Fixed in [#28627](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/28627).
 - Fixed an issue where some cross-origin logs, like assertions or cy.clock(), were getting too many dom snapshots. Fixes [#28609](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/28609).
