Description

I think if a column has all the same value (e.g. 1) the binWidth might be wrong and subsetting/distribution endpoint falls over in the EDA and notebooks. Need to test (UD), see what we used to do, and fix.

keywords: bin, findBinWidth

Research direction

Search the repository for findBinWidth and binWidth, then trace how a single-valued column reaches the subsetting and distribution endpoints. Reproduce the failure in the EDA or notebooks, inspect the previous behavior, and add a regression test. Done means single-value columns no longer cause those endpoints to fail.
