The contextual help tab click handler passed the raw href attribute to jQuery's $(), which accepts both CSS selectors and raw HTML.

Fix: Use aria-controls with the $( '#' + id ) pattern, the same convention used elsewhere in the same file and across admin JS (privacy-tools.js, site-health.js).

Trac ticket: #65574
