Yesterday it worked fine, but today all sql cells in this notebook don´t work with the input table: [Stadtteile im Vergleich / RND | Observable](https://observablehq.com/@rnd/stadtteil-vergleich)

this is the code of the data source:

```auto
stadtteile_ranking_long = FileAttachment("stadtteile_long.csv").csv().then(
  function(data) {
    data.forEach(function(d) {
      d.Wert = +d.Wert;
    });
    return data;
  }
)

```

@jchrist That might be your browser cache:

Can you share the URL where you are embedding your notebook?

I cleared the cache, tried it in different browsers and with a forked version but still get this error. The website where it is embedded is not published yet.

sorry for the trouble, there was one last part of the fix that we missed! the embed should work now, although you may want to replace `runtime@5` in the generated code with `runtime@^5.5.1` to make sure that you’re getting the latest version. please let us know if you’re still seeing issues.
