...arto-0.9.446-win/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:3420: attempt to index a nil value (local 'f')
stack traceback:
...arto-0.9.446-win/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:3384: in function <...arto-0.9.446-win/share/filters/quarto-pre/quarto-pre.lua:3377>

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with quarto render hello.ipynb --to html under a Windows account with a non-ASCII name, then inspect quarto-pre.lua around lines 3384-3420 from the traceback. Compare with the successful pandoc hello.ipynb -o hello.html run; done means Quarto renders the notebook to HTML without the nil-value error.
