Description
Bug description

Steps to reproduce
---
title: "Test"
format: typst
citeproc: false
bibliography: "references.bib"
bibliographystyle: chicago-fullnotes
nocite: |

Actual behavior
Using nocite in the frontmatter does not include the citation in the bibliography. When setting citeproc: true instead, the citation is included correctly, but the Bibliography heading disappears.
Expected behavior
Citations added with Nocite should be in the bibliography regardless of the format used.
