The slinky is not the source of the work or force, the squirrel is. The reason it returns the force is because it has been turned into a spring by forcing it to remain bent thereby removing its precompressed helical design and changing its purpose.
just as a coil spring isnt the force, the car is.
just as a garage spring isnt the force, the garage door is.
just as a door stopper isnt the force, the door is.
it is the same with all springs, they react to an outside force, such as a squirrel.

it got turned into a spring by reacting like all springs do to force, and springing.
one might almost surmise that even you realize you're just dead wrong and are only doubling down out of stubbornness. i mean, you're making all of the arguments for us while trying to remain smug. its quite fun to watch you argue yourself so effectively using arguments u told us were wrong.
of course we all know you didnt even realize there were different types of springs when this whole thing started. your first argument against a slinky being a spring was that it couldn't be compressed. we had to literally teach you about torsion springs, leaf springs, spring steel, heck..... everything on the topic. or maybe u read your link, and *gasp* NASA taught you.
