/**
 * Creates a debounced version of the provided function.
 *
 * The debounced function postpones its execution until after a certain amount of time
 * has elapsed since the last time it was invoked. This is useful for limiting the rate
 * at which a function is called (e.g. in response to user input or events).
 *
 * @param {Function} func - The function to debounce. It will only be called after no new calls happen within the specified timeout.
 * @param {number} [timeout=300] - The debounce delay in milliseconds. Defaults to 300ms if not provided or invalid.
 * @returns {(args: unknown[]) => void} A debounced version of the original function.
