## Create an Empty Context

Navigate the authenticated work tab to `https://app.circleci.com/settings/organization/VCS/ORG/contexts`. Verify the organization and confirm the context does not already exist.

Activate `Create context`. Generated React/Aria IDs are ephemeral; target the stable field:

```python
import json
context_name = 'CONTEXT_NAME'
encoded_name = json.dumps(context_name)
out = js(f'''
(() => {{
  const input = document.querySelector('input[name=name]');
  if (!input) throw new Error('CircleCI context name input not found');
  const setter = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(window.HTMLInputElement.prototype, 'value').set;
  setter.call(input, {encoded_name});
  input.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', {{bubbles: true}}));
  return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button'))
    .filter(button => /create context/i.test(button.textContent) && button.closest('[role=dialog], form, [class*=modal]'))
    .map(button => button.textContent.trim());
}})()
''')
print(out)
```

After checking the intended modal button, submit it and verify the exact context name appears in the list. Verified 2026-08-14. Generic `fill_input('Name', ...)` failed despite the open modal. This evidence does not cover adding or editing context environment variables.
