Debounce implementation bug: stale variables and context scope issues

My debounced function isn’t acting on the latest input or has undefined variables—especially when the handler needs access to current input values.

With debouncing, if closures don’t capture the correct context—or stale variables are used—the function may act on outdated data ([turn0search3]). Fixes: • Pass the argument directly into the debounced function: js Copy code const debouncedSearch = debounce((term) => search(term), 300); oninput = e => debouncedSearch(e.target.value); • Or bind context and data explicitly instead of relying on closure scope.
