[Bug]: Frontend syntax error breaks navbar on landing page

[chirag-projects]

What happened?

A critical JavaScript SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list is thrown on page load from static/script.js:1077. This syntax regression completely halts execution of the main script initialization bundle, rendering mobile navigation toggles, theme selectors, and the key search/recommendation engine elements fully non-functional.

Expected behavior: The application script should load cleanly with zero structural console exceptions, enabling recommendation form submissions and responsive UI elements.

Steps to reproduce

Navigate to the deployment URL or local environment: https://mydevpath-github.vercel.app/
2. Open the browser Developer Tools Console (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I).
3. Note the red error banner displayed on the UI and the explicit script error thrown in the logs:
JS ERROR: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list at https://mydevpath-github.vercel.app/static/script.js:1077
4. Attempt to interact with the "Start Finding Projects" button or theme components; see that they fail to execute.

Expected behaviour

The script engine should cleanly execute, leaving the page in a fully interactive state without throwing blocking top-level parsing exceptions.
