A Streamlit app that happily runs locally fails when deployed to CDF.

The line `st.dataframe([{‘key’: ‘value’, ...}])` produces this error. Not every time, but once the error happens, it does not recover and keeps showing this error even though the app reruns to show updated data.

Lars, I will build the repro. Was hoping that other people have seen this kind of an error (or the error message could be simply looked up in the source code of  cognite-stlite). No free lunch, I guess.

No time to build the repro so far. 
But noticed that if I switch the st.dataframe to st.editor (i.e. with all columns disabled), the issue happens far less frequently. It still does though.
