Research direction

Start by locating the code that adds the at method to Array.prototype, then reproduce the error by running the application described in the issue. Confirm the change avoids errors when Array.prototype is frozen and that the application runs successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In a particular file, the Array.prototype is being frozen which is causing compatibility issues. The issue arises when the at method is added to the Array.prototype after it has been frozen, resulting in an error.

Steps to reproduce:

Run the application.
Observe the error related to the at method.

Expected behavior:
The application should run without errors.

Actual behavior:
An error occurs when running the application due to the Array.prototype being frozen before the at method is added.

Proposed solution:
Modify the code to conditionally add the at method to the Array.prototype only if it doesn't already exist
