quarto: write-manifest and deploy should recommend rsconnect when using knitr engine

Hi,

I am trying to use rsconnect from the command line to build a manifest.json file for my quarto (book) project.

When I run the following code in the root of my quarto project directory, in powershell:

rsconnect write-manifest quarto .

It creates a manifest.json file but is missing some crucial information within this file. There is no R package information and is missing:

  "locale": "en_GB",
  "platform": "4.3.1",
  "metadata": {                                    # (this is included except the discrepancies below)
        ............
        "primary_html": null,                  # missing
        "content_category": null,           # is 'site'
        "has_parameters": false             # missing

Any help?

Thanks,
Jake
