Research direction
The issue is to replace the deprecated navigator.platform with a modern alternative like navigator.userAgent or a dedicated library such as 'platform' or 'ua parser js'. The change is likely in the core/table component of the Blueprint UI toolkit. Since it's been open since 2022, verify the current code still uses navigator.platform and ensure no other dependencies rely on it. The single comment or maintainer response may provide guidance; if none, proceed with the simplest replacement that maintains functionality.
