Description

I have a project, where one of the files contains an error.
Then I create a new .qmd file, the following error immediately shows up:

Sibling page '/project/index.qmd' failed to parse
⚠ /project/index.qmd failed to parse
Line 126: Parse error - unexpected character or token here
Line 126: Parse error - unexpected character or token here

Other existing files in the project do not show this error, even as I modify them.

Research direction

Reproduce the report by opening the project with /project/index.qmd containing the error, then creating a new .qmd file. Start by inspecting /project/index.qmd at line 126 and compare the new-file behavior with modifying existing files. Done means the sibling-page parse error is reported consistently or the triggering behavior is corrected.
