Need help with a script to Free Transform a selection (PS 2023)

@mangurian – the following code provides an interactive transform of a selection:

try {
    if (activeDocument.selection.bounds) {
        function s2t(s) {
            return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
        }
        var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
        descriptor.putEnumerated(s2t("interfaceIconFrameDimmed"), s2t("interpolationType"), s2t("bicubic"));
        executeAction(s2t("transform"), descriptor, DialogModes.ALL);
    }
} catch (e) {}

This is the raw code recorded by the SL plug-in, commented to show the values used in the original recording:

var idtransform = stringIDToTypeID( "transform" );
    var desc221 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = stringIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var ref17 = new ActionReference();
        var idchannel = stringIDToTypeID( "channel" );
        var idselection = stringIDToTypeID( "selection" );
        ref17.putProperty( idchannel, idselection );
    desc221.putReference( idnull, ref17 );
    var idfreeTransformCenterState = stringIDToTypeID( "freeTransformCenterState" );
    var idquadCenterState = stringIDToTypeID( "quadCenterState" );
    var idQCSAverage = stringIDToTypeID( "QCSAverage" );
    desc221.putEnumerated( idfreeTransformCenterState, idquadCenterState, idQCSAverage );
    var idoffset = stringIDToTypeID( "offset" );
        var desc222 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idhorizontal = stringIDToTypeID( "horizontal" );
        var idpixelsUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "pixelsUnit" );
        desc222.putUnitDouble( idhorizontal, idpixelsUnit, -10 ); // -10px horizontal transform
        var idvertical = stringIDToTypeID( "vertical" );
        var idpixelsUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "pixelsUnit" );
        desc222.putUnitDouble( idvertical, idpixelsUnit, -10 ); // -10px vertical transform
    var idoffset = stringIDToTypeID( "offset" );
    desc221.putObject( idoffset, idoffset, desc222 );
    var idwidth = stringIDToTypeID( "width" );
    var idpercentUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" );
    desc221.putUnitDouble( idwidth, idpercentUnit, 125.000000 ); // 125% width scale
    var idheight = stringIDToTypeID( "height" );
    var idpercentUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "percentUnit" );
    desc221.putUnitDouble( idheight, idpercentUnit, 125.000000 ); // 125% height scale
    var idskew = stringIDToTypeID( "skew" );
        var desc223 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idhorizontal = stringIDToTypeID( "horizontal" );
        var idangleUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "angleUnit" );
        desc223.putUnitDouble( idhorizontal, idangleUnit, 10.000000 ); // 10 degree horizontal skew
        var idvertical = stringIDToTypeID( "vertical" );
        var idangleUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "angleUnit" );
        desc223.putUnitDouble( idvertical, idangleUnit, 10.000000 ); // 10 degree vertical skew
    var idpaint = stringIDToTypeID( "paint" );
    desc221.putObject( idskew, idpaint, desc223 );
    var idangle = stringIDToTypeID( "angle" );
    var idangleUnit = stringIDToTypeID( "angleUnit" );
    desc221.putUnitDouble( idangle, idangleUnit, 45.000000 ); // 45 degree Rotation angle
    var idlinked = stringIDToTypeID( "linked" );
    desc221.putBoolean( idlinked, true );
    var idinterfaceIconFrameDimmed = stringIDToTypeID( "interfaceIconFrameDimmed" );
    var idinterpolationType = stringIDToTypeID( "interpolationType" );
    var idbicubic = stringIDToTypeID( "bicubic" );
    desc221.putEnumerated( idinterfaceIconFrameDimmed, idinterpolationType, idbicubic );
executeAction( idtransform, desc221, DialogModes.NO );
