@rich-iannone I wrote this MWE and I get the CSV file

> library(pointblank)
> tbl <- dplyr::tibble(a = c(5, 7, 8, 5, 2))
> agent <-
+   create_agent(
+     tbl = tbl,
+     tbl_name = "small_table",
+     label = "An example."
+   ) %>%
+   col_vals_gt(columns = a, value = 4) %>%
+   interrogate()

── Interrogation Started - there is a single validation step ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✔ Step 1: OK.

── Interrogation Completed ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
> report <- get_agent_report(agent)
+ 
+ report
>

when I open the report in Firefox I get the CSV file

"a"

this is a Positron/VSCode-specific issue

@rich-iannone I got it! Electron apps block data:// links for security reasons. I think we should close this issue after adding a note like "open in an external browser to access all features"
