Description
In dealing with the ggplot2 version 3.5 mess (see https://github.com/easystats/performance/issues/691), I accidentally reverted to version 3.4.0 instead of 3.4.4. If I then library("see") directly I get
> library(see)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘see’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘ggplot2’ 3.4.0 is being loaded, but >= 3.4.4 is required
but if I run performance::check_model(), it encounters the failure and assumes that the cause is that I don't have see installed.
performance::check_model(g1)
Package `see` required for model diagnostic plots.
Would you like to install it? [y/n]
it then re-installs, fails to show the plot (as expected), and returns the raw object.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure through performance::check_model() with ggplot2 3.4.0 and see unavailable or failing to load. Trace how the diagnostic-plot dependency check handles the namespace error; done when an installed but incompatible see/ggplot2 setup is not reported as missing or prompted for reinstallation.
