ok

Yes, but then again it's not a good experience for a kata that (based on current ranking votes) would be 7kyu to scroll through the output horizontally and search for the placement of each new-lines and bar chars when they can just show it normally.

Reference solution uses undeclared variables.

( Example solution does as well. I sincerely hope you didn't upvote your own solution, in which case two other people think declaring variables is overrated in JS. )

ad (2) That would not make the trailing newline visible though.

Ending with a newline is not the usual JS convention. Separating with newlines is.

Uses Node 8.x instead of Node 18.x, even though 18.x works.

Other chars:

'■'  0x25a0  BLACK SQUARE
'□'  0x25a1  WHITE SQUARE

a ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ 27%

'█'  0x2588  FULL BLOCK
'░'  0x2591  LIGHT SHADE

Simply using '◼' (9724) instead seems to solve the problem:

I think monospace won't solve the problem if unicode chars are used. I ended up building css grids on the fly, to circumvent that kind of problems, in some myjinxin's kata (something about hearts)

The prior suggestion reveals that the █ and ☐ are not the same width, at least when viewed with the font used here (Consolas regular 11).

This one is suggesting that it would be more appealing if a monospace font was used to reveal a visually balanced bar chart.

The description is very JS specific in how to round. This doesn't lend itself well for translations.

1. Set chai.config.truncateThreshold to 0 or false so that user can see fully the expected result.
2. The example output in description would be better if it's actually written as to how it will be shown in log:
