How to debug unknown html + js: How to trace what .js is modding html for a specific class?

I am maintaining a web site that does some magic behavior (well, it adds a few characters that are not in the html) to elements tagged:

class="popupover-host"

I can't find this referenced in the css, and so far don't see it referenced in any .js

In the browser, it is pre rendered, and examining the element shows me the fully processed text (e.g. the text that is in the source html PLUS the added characters).

I feel like I need to watch the browser process the html, but have not done this before.

The question boils down to this (I think):

Static html + css can be figured out "by hand" by mapping the "class" tags in the html to the relevant css. We know the browser bolts the two together at render time. Add js to the picture, and it gets... harder to figure out how the final html was created.

And with nested css... it is also hard to figure out.

Question:

  1. So, how do I watch the browser bolt it all together?

  2. For example, if I know the "class" that is being modified, how can I see where the modifications come from? (css and/or js)

  3. Is there a way to either: a) Have the browser tell me the things that have modified the contents of this class, or b) run a "debugger" with a watch on the class in question, to see what the browser applies to the contents of that class?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
