    Research direction

    The issue points to webbrowser.open and the historical issue30218-1.patch; begin by locating the current implementation and checking how it invokes xdg-open. Reproduce the warning on Linux, then find the relevant webbrowser tests and verify that webbrowser.open no longer emits the reported deprecation warning.
