Description

We got notified from CRAN that we have several check failures:

Please see the problems shown on https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_renderthis.html.
Please correct before 2023-10-19 to safely retain your package on CRAN.

A follow up email suggests that it has to do with the Quarto installation on CRAN:

The new check failures are because CRAN was requested to install Quarto. Your package makes use of it via package 'quarto' but has not declared a SystemRequirements (and quarto passes its checks with or without quarto-cli).

Start by reviewing the linked CRAN check results and locating the package metadata where system requirements are declared. Confirm the required Quarto dependency information and rerun the relevant package checks; done means the CRAN failure about the undeclared SystemRequirements is resolved.
