For the record, this is what Copilot recommended.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    const normalizePath = (path) => {
        if (!path) return '';
        const q = path.indexOf('?');
        const h = path.indexOf('#');
        const end = Math.min(q === -1 ? path.length : q, h === -1 ? path.length : h);
        let p = path.slice(0, end).toLowerCase();

About

There are times when a developer writes code that other developers working on the same code will not understand. This is a great use of AI such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT or JetBrains AI.

In the line of code below, the team is not fluent with JavaScript, wrote it, and they do not have any AI tools. Using ChatGPT hit the copy button and paste it into a .md file, and now they have text explaining the code.

Question

Explain the following using a bullet list

	public readonly struct EllipsisNumericFormattable<T> : IFormattable where T : struct, IFormattable
	{
	private readonly T _value;
	private readonly int _width;
	private readonly char _paddingChar;

	public EllipsisNumericFormattable(T value, int width, char paddingChar)
	{
	_value = value;
	_width = width;

	var $debugHelper = $debugHelper \|\| {};
	$debugHelper = function () {

	function addCss() {
	if (document.getElementById(debugStyleId)) return; // prevent duplicates

	const style = document.createElement("style");
	style.id = debugStyleId;
