Description
Bug description
Problem: quarto render fails when enabling self-contained or embed-resources in yaml.
Steps to reproduce:
- In terminal:
> quarto create project book testbook - Add the following to _quarto.yml (any of these options produce same error):
format:
html:
self-contained: true
embed-resources: true
- Add to any qmd file:
```{r }
#| label: test-plot
plot(1:10, 1:10)
> quarto render
Result in error:
ERROR:
compilation failed- error
Unable to load picture or PDF file 'intro_files/figure-pdf/test-plot-1.pdf'.
...and warning:
[WARNING] Could not fetch resource ./summary.html
Works when option quarto render --to html is used. Curiously, quarto render --to pdf also works if run separately.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the shown _quarto.yml and qmd example, then compare combined quarto render with separate HTML and PDF renders. Trace the self-contained/embed-resources handling for the generated PDF resource and the summary.html warning; done means the example renders both book formats without errors.
