no experience with JavaScript to speak of

You claim no JavaScript experience, declare confident in the comments and include any examples.

All you've really said here is you vibed coded a solution to a problem using one of the most common languages without knowing the language. And made claims you do not attempt to prove.

I know enough to parse the code, especially with the comments. It was a logical algorithm, it worked, and it was just for reformatting a sure to print cleanly, so there was basically no rush if it didn't work. I code for work, I just don't know JavaScript syntax or functions.

Anyway, I was impressed it actually worked. I'm an AI skeptic, which is why I thought it was noteworthy to get well documented, clean, functional code from vibe coding—even in such a trivial context as swapping a head tag and removing script tags.
