Description

jtools was working this morning. However, after I updated RStudio, it no longer works. It says there is an error with a package called "future."

```r
library(jtools)
```
>
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘jtools’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘future’

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with `library(jtools)` in RStudio and confirm whether the missing `future` package is available in the active library paths. Compare the package's declared dependencies with the installation behavior after the RStudio update; done means `library(jtools)` loads without the namespace error.
