Research direction
Start by compiling the provided Quarto revealjs presentation with lightbox: auto, then inspect how Quarto supplies its reveal.js dependency and compare it with the referenced reveal.js fix. Update the dependency to at least 5.2.1 and confirm that activating lightbox in speaker view also activates it in the fullscreen presentation view.
