Not blowing up HH relationship after changing mind

Title basically speaks for itself. I chose to enter into an interview process and gave strong signs of interest to the recruiter, but now I’m at the final round and have effectively decided that I wouldn’t take the offer if I got it. Reason being is more so superficial, but I ultimately decided after speaking to the team that it wasn’t for me. I don’t want to purposely sandbag the final interview but not sure what the right move is to preserve the relationship with the HH if it comes down to it.
