Script to create new layer called "reg" and move all items with spot colour "VELDOTS" to that layer

I managed to solve it over the weekend with the assistance of a friend and ChatGPT.

var doc = app.activeDocument;

    // Rename the original layer
    var originalLayer = doc.layers[0];
    originalLayer.name = "reg";

var newLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.add();
newLayer.name = "CUT"; // Optional: Assign a name to the new layer

function deleteNoFillNoStrokePaths() {
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var noFillNoStrokeItems = [];
        // Function to check for PathItems with no fill and no stroke, excluding CompoundPathItems
        function checkPathItems(item) {
            if (item.typename == "PathItem") {
                // Check if the path item has no fill and no stroke
                if ((item.filled == false || item.fillColor == null) &&
                    (item.stroked == false || item.strokeColor == null)) {
                    noFillNoStrokeItems.push(item);
                }
            } else if (item.typename == "GroupItem") {
                // Recursively check for path items inside groups, but skip compound paths
                for (var j = 0; j < item.pageItems.length; j++) {
                    checkPathItems(item.pageItems[j]);
                }
            }
        }
        // Loop through all layers and items, ignoring locked layers
        for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++) {
            var layer = doc.layers[i];
            if (!layer.locked) { // Only process items on unlocked layers
                for (var j = 0; j < layer.pageItems.length; j++) {
                    checkPathItems(layer.pageItems[j]);
                }
            }
        }
        // Deselect everything first
        doc.selection = null;
        // Select the PathItems with no fill and no stroke
        for (var l = 0; l < noFillNoStrokeItems.length; l++) {
            noFillNoStrokeItems[l].selected = true;
        }
        if (noFillNoStrokeItems.length > 0) {
            // Delete selected items
            for (var m = noFillNoStrokeItems.length - 1; m >= 0; m--) {
                noFillNoStrokeItems[m].remove();
            }
            //alert(noFillNoStrokeItems.length + " path objects with no fill and no stroke were deleted.");
        }
    }
}
// Run the function
deleteNoFillNoStrokePaths();

// Define the spot color name to search for
    var targetColorName = "VELCUT";
    // Initialize selection array
    var selectedItems = [];
    // Loop through all path items in the document
    for (var i = 0; i < doc.pathItems.length; i++) {
        var pathItem = doc.pathItems[i];
        // Check if the path item has a stroke
        if (pathItem.stroked) {
            var strokeColor = pathItem.strokeColor;
            // Check if the stroke color is a SpotColor and matches the target color name
            if (strokeColor.typename === "SpotColor" && strokeColor.spot.name === targetColorName) {
                // Add item to selection array
                selectedItems.push(pathItem);
            }
        }
    }
    // Select all items with the target stroke color
    if (selectedItems.length > 0) {
        doc.selection = selectedItems;
    }

    // If there are VELCUT objects, proceed with the copy and paste steps
    if (doc.selection.length > 0) {
        app.cut(); // Cut selected VELCUT objects
    }
        // select the CUT layer
        app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[0];

        // Paste the copied white objects onto the Base layer
        app.executeMenuCommand("pasteInPlace");

        // Select all paths in the document (only applies to unlocked layers)
        doc.selection = null;
        for (var i = 0; i < doc.pathItems.length; i++) {
            var item = doc.pathItems[i];
            if (!item.layer.locked) {
                item.selected = true;
            }
        }
