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 occurs because the function uses an incorrect index to access the last element.

**What goes wrong:**
The function tries to access `items[items.length]` which is always out of bounds. Array indices start at 0, so the last element is actually at `items.length - 1`.

**Why:**
JavaScript arrays are zero-indexed, meaning the first element is at index 0, the second at index 1, and so on. The last element should be at index `length - 1`, not `length`.

**What to change:**
Change `items[items.length]` to `items[items.length - 1]` to get the correct last element.
