Mr. Blind4Basics, Sir - thank you for making this Kata.
I had a very similar experience with Papers, Please - in that the challenge was enough to require a step back and broad infilling of missing knowledge.
This Kata was absolutely a next level challenge - and solving is just such an unbelievably good feeling.
So I thank you for dedicating the time and effort to a Kata that can make such a feeling in others possible.
In your honor I think I'm going to change my handle to have 263 at the end [maybe;p].
And now - to FMC #2 - deep calming breaths.

@dfhwze - I was afraid of this - I removed the introductory memo to reviewers for formatting sake, and probably 5 minutes later this was marked retired.
So I added it back
You as a 2 dan presumably have seen that happen before - I've never published a kata before so cannot figure out who did or exactly why.
That said, any recommendation for how to prevent that?
Obviously I could just make another kata not targeting an 8 kyu but more like a 5 or 6 kyu and add a lot of details I have in mind, but was aspiring to having 8 kyu to 1 kyu eventually in this series - and that requires starting very simple.
Thank you

Done.

Hi @rowcased, I'm just going to remove and rephrase this.
I thought about this for too long and just wrote down what I did - but agree it is not correct as written.

@dfhwze - yep for sure great point and I did.
I also went ahead and removed the introductory memo at the top.

Made an update - I realized there was no check for string data in the name not included in the provided string options.
That check is now included.

Thank you Fbasham, having a JS version was accidental and JS version is now removed.

@Blind4Basics - I was hoping you might review my humble Kata, as it is my first.

Helral - bruh - how do you sleep at night.
This was amazing - thank you.
I thought - prior to today - that I was getting good at regex.

Mr. White one more thing.
I solved it!!
And I would like to submit my solution for the #1 'fugliest solution ever to pass'.
Phew!
Great Kata - and fugly as the state I'm leaving my solution is, this was a great learning experience.
Thank you for making and maintaining.

Bingo - thank you 1 kyu Mr. White. I appreciate it.

Cool Kata for sure and I'm still working on it - but Any chance you can offer guidance on what this means?

Anticheat
Banned code check
You can't use open, open, open: ['open', 'open', 'open'] should equal []

I am using Regex in this and did not see it explicitely banned - but am not using eval() or exec() - so am not sure why this is showing up.
Thank you

This turned out to be a solid kata - tough for a 6 kyu - but maneagable as an 'algo learner' example.

Nice job!

Never mind - never mind - turns out it was not about that.

And ps - This was a great, great Kata.
