The brief

you can't edit the code — only instruct the AI

parse_query(qs)

Parses a query string like a=1&b=2 into an object of string values.
Duplicate keys keep the first value — later repeats are ignored.
Only the first = splits key from value; a bare key gets ""; empty input gives {}.

parse_query("a=1&b=2") → { a: "1", b: "2" }

current code — written by the AI

function parse_query(qs) {
  // Parse "a=1&b=2" into an object.
  const out = {};
  for (const part of qs.split("&")) {
    const [k, v] = part.split("=");
    out[k] = v;
  }
  return out;
}

Drive me to fix parse_query so it passes the hidden tests. I do exactly what you tell me — nothing more — so be precise. Every message costs tokens; fewest tokens wins. Par is 550. Hit “Run tests” whenever you want to check.
