'How to get reference to the iframe from which script html tag was generated?
I have small snippet that is inside iframe and generates script html tag and appends it to the window.top.document.head.
Now I want to know how do I check from within potato.js from which iframe it was generated from once it is already loaded?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<iframe>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
(function() {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
s.setAttribute('src','https://test.com/potato.js');
window.top.document.head.appendChild(s);
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Edit: I can not change this code inside the iframe

That information isn't stored automatically.
The only way I can think of would be to add an expando-prop to the script with a reference to the current window (i.e. the frame's window)…
s.sourceWindow = window;
… then read that from within potato.js …
const sourceWindow = document.currentScript.sourceWindow;
… and then loop over all the frames (window.frames) looking for a match.
Since you are using window.top and not window.parent you might need to be recursive there.
