Description
Quarto displays "Unable to locate an installed version of R" when it can't find R which is fine.
Unfortunately, it does print the exact same message when R crashed and Quarto lost track of the binded R session.
See below a bad quality "screenshot" showing computations were running (custom knitr progression bar) until it R crashed.
(Quarto call is wrapped in a script, thus the other messages in the log file)
A more general message would be welcome that let know that "R might have crashed".
