8,069 Pointsform tag closure
While doing the code challenge soon after this I forgot to close my form tag and it was ok with that. It reminded me from the past that a form tag will get closed in some cases.
Is this a bug in the processing script or html?

231,271 PointsTag's don't "get closed" for you. Some tags (such as "input") don't have ending tags and including one is actually an error (but the browser may not complain). But according to the MDN documentation, for "form" tags both the starting and ending tag are mandatory.
The challenge validator may have a bug if it allowed you to add only a starting tag. You might want to report this to Support.
