But it is not.

Hi Joshua, If you try this across several different lab instances (so if you let the lab instance expire and relaunch the lab so that you obtain a lab with a different URL) does this behaviour persist?

Joshua | Last updated: Oct 01, 2024 01:18AM UTC

I just tried everything again. This behavior is persisting. I also modified the body payload, back to text/javascript, as outlined in the official solution, and I saw the same failure to go to solve status.
