Judge cost not recorded for these runs

Amounts are the exact stored decimal strings. No rounding is applied. candidate_cost_usd is the sum of measured run costs. judge_cost_usd is the sum of stored tier-2 judge ledger rows, or null when none were recorded. total_cost_usd equals candidate plus judge only when every candidate cost is present and a judge cost was recorded.

Output

The bug is that the function returns `undefined` instead of the last element of the `items` array.

**What goes wrong:**

Arrays in JavaScript are zero-indexed, meaning the first element is at index 0, the second at index 1, and so on. The `length` property of an array tells you how many elements are in it. So, if an array has 3 elements, its `length` is 3. However, the valid indices for that array would be 0, 1, and 2.

The code `items[items.length]` tries to access an element at an index that is one position *beyond* the last valid index. Since there's no element at that index, JavaScript returns `undefined`.

**Why:**

Because array indices start from 0, the index of the last element is always `length - 1`.

**What to change:**

Change `items.length` to `
