Description

The viewer doesn't run on OCaml.5.3.0 ... but traces can't be obtained with OCaml<=5.3

However, the current viewer can open recent traces.

Could you update the viewer to run on recent OCaml, to avoid having to juggle opam switches ?

Research direction

Start by locating the viewer's OCaml and opam configuration, then check the compatibility constraints against OCaml 5.3.0. Verify that the viewer builds and runs on recent OCaml while still opening recent traces, and confirm that trace collection remains possible with the supported OCaml version.
