Research direction
The issue asks whether js beautify exposes a global variable when loaded via CDN. To resolve, check the library's source code (e.g., main entry point) for assigned global names. Alternatively, consult the official documentation for CDN usage examples. If unclear, maintainers should update the documentation to clarify the global variable.
