I'm starting to think it's something super specific to the particular hugo theme I'm using and how it wants users to insert custom js/css to get it all baked down into the right place in the final output. I'll keep bashing on it, thanks for your help!
Edit: OK this is kind of hilarious considering the community I posted to, but I actually think it works fine but something about my Librewolf setup is breaking it. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome, and since I jump around between them as I work I just happened to test in Librewolf right as I made this change. Not to get too far into the weeds but I think I'm going to just go ahead with not linking cloudflare. Thanks again.
I worked in a place where you dialed in to the PA system, and NOT using your finger to hang up was a rookie move, since the rattling of the receiver was deafening over the speakers. Definitely worse to use a sensor.
