Harden Shiny package execution by namespacing external UI/render helpers

[Copilot]

Running the app via shiny::runApp() in package-directory mode intermittently failed with unresolved function errors (notably renderDT and visNetwork helpers). The failures were caused by unqualified external-package calls in module/UI startup paths.

• Scope: DT call sites

  • Replaced unqualified DT helpers with explicit DT:: usage in:
    • /home/runner/work/table-explorer/table-explorer/R/mod_name_changes.R
    • /home/runner/work/table-explorer/table-explorer/R/mod_table_details.R
  • Updated DTOutput, renderDT, datatable, formatStyle, and styleEqual.

• Scope: visNetwork call sites

  • Replaced unqualified visNetwork helpers with explicit visNetwork:: usage in:
    • /home/runner/work/table-explorer/table-explorer/R/mod_erd.R
  • Updated visNetworkOutput, renderVisNetwork, visNetwork, and chained vis helpers (visOptions, visEdges, visNodes, visInteraction, visEvents, visHierarchicalLayout, visPhysics, visLayout).

• Scope: app bootstrap/UI entrypoints

  • Added explicit namespaces in app startup/UI wiring:
    • /home/runner/work/table-explorer/table-explorer/R/app_ui.R: shinythemes::shinytheme(...)
    • /home/runner/work/table-explorer/table-explorer/R/run_app.R: shiny::addResourcePath(...), shiny::shinyApp(...)

# before
output$dt_rename_log <- renderDT({ datatable(log) })

# after
output$dt_rename_log <- DT::renderDT({ DT::datatable(log) })

Pull request overview

This PR hardens the Shiny app when executed in package-directory mode by explicitly namespacing calls to external-package UI/render helpers, preventing “function not found” errors when packages aren’t attached on startup.

Changes:

• Qualified DT UI/render/formatting helpers with DT:: in the Name Changes and Table Details modules.
• Qualified visNetwork output/render/build + chained vis helpers with visNetwork:: in the ERD module.
• Qualified app bootstrap helpers with shiny:: and theme helper with shinythemes::.
