## Bug Description
On and off, I'll get this error in my console. Not sure if this is something to be fixed:
```

Research direction
The report identifies wp-auth-check.min.js, heartbeat.min.js, and the jQuery event path in load-scripts.php; start by tracing the document event that reaches hasClass. Reproduce the intermittent console error if possible, then verify that the same flow no longer logs the TypeError.
