Research direction

Start by reproducing the R -e example with shiny::icon('calendar') and tracing how the browsable object handles non-interactive execution. Done means the command no longer launches a browser in non-interactive R while interactive browsing behavior remains intact, with a regression test for the example.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For example:

R -e "shiny::icon('calendar'); Sys.sleep(1)"

(The Sys.sleep is so the index.html file in the temp dir isn't removed before the browser starts.)
