Contributor guide
Research direction
Locate the sendDataToNative entry point in exercism-js and review how it accesses window.webkit.messageHandlers. Reproduce or trace the Sentry error in a browser context without that WebKit object, then verify the resulting behavior no longer raises this TypeError and that the native message path still works when available.
