Update: Now when I rebooted the system, under tools, I no longer see the "Diagnostic Reports" ... But under applications, I do see it installed. Something is definitely wrong with this

Quick another update: Looks like the reports were generated, and are placed in the /tmp folder. Just the interface doesn't show them. Hmm... is there a missing plugin?

I just tested this in a clean Debian 12 VM and it works. (Not too surprising, we have that in CI). As a first step, you could try to open the JS console (Ctrl+Shift+K in Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+J in chrome), type window.debugging = 'spawn' and then start building a report. There should be some messages when the report finishes, but as it doesn't, I suppose there won't be any. But in the case that there are, I'd be very interested in them.

The other thing to try: Run sos report --batch in a Terminal (as root, or through sudo) and see what that does? Does it hang as well?
