Bug: muteVowels crashes on empty string input

[codedev168]

When calling muteVowels(""), the function throws a TypeError instead of returning an empty string.

Steps to reproduce:

1. const result = muteVowels("")
2. TypeError is thrown

Expected: Should return "" for empty input.
Severity: High — breaks basic usage.

Thank you for the detailed report! I'm sorry this caused issues in your workflow. The behavior you're describing sounds like a clear edge case that should be handled gracefully.

Could you confirm if there are any other steps or context (e.g., specific environment, code structure) where this occurs? For now, I’ll prioritize investigating the empty-string handling and ensure muteVowels returns "" as expected. I’ll follow up with a fix shortly!

Thank you for reporting this issue! We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate the clear reproduction steps. We’ll investigate why muteVowels("") throws a TypeError instead of returning "", focusing on input validation. Could you confirm if this occurs in all environments or specific setups (e.g., Node.js version, framework usage)? We’ll prioritize a fix and provide an update shortly.

Thank you for reporting this! I apologize for the inconvenience. I'll prioritize fixing this edge case to ensure muteVowels handles empty strings gracefully.

Could you confirm if there are any specific environment details (e.g., Node.js version, dependencies) where this occurs consistently? The reproduction steps you provided are clear, but additional context could help avoid similar issues in the future.

Expect a patch release with a fix within the next 24 hours. As a workaround, you can add a guard clause in your code:

if (input === "") return "";  

before processing. Let me know if you need further assistance!
