Description

At least for the first round of visualizations, any time you construct one using the UI the result should include an "embed this" button that returns source code to copy and paste

These examples should use unpkg.com (or similarl) urls with SRI hashes, eg https://www.srihash.org - and should load data from the datasette JSON API.

Research direction

Start at the UI path that constructs visualizations and inspect how it could expose an embed action. Review the Datasette JSON API response shape and the unpkg/SRI requirements; done means each initial visualization offers copyable source code that loads its data from the API with integrity-protected dependencies.
