    Is this kata written by ChatGPT? There are a lot of misinformation in the kata, the description is weirdly nonsensical, and the terminologies are obviously used incorrectly. For instance:

    The debounce function is designed to enhance performance by controlling the frequency of function executions

    What this describes is throttling, not dedounce. Debounce doesn't control the frequency of function calls; it makes a function only execute its body if nobody has called it for a specified amount of time.
    (See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35290646)

    The tests never test this crucial mechanic. In fact it doesn't even test if a debounced function can be called more than once, so it's just a fancier version of setTimeout.


    Ensures that the original function's arguments and context (this value) are preserved and passed correctly when it is executed.

    This didn't specify which argument set should be used when the wrapped function is called multiple times. The expected value is the one from the latest call.

    this preservation is not tested.
