Research direction

Reproduce tourr::animate_xy(tourr::flea[, 1:6]) in Positron using the reported versions and compare it with RStudio, where the animation starts automatically. Trace the Positron R execution and output path to identify where the animation stops; done means the same animation starts and runs in Positron.
