Description
When building ctsem (using rstantools), I'm encountering this all of a sudden -- after some small changes to the stan files, I run rstan_config() and double check that the source files are changed, but when I build, compilation is for some reason not triggered. If instead I delete the relevant source files and build, compilation works normally and everything is as expected. Any ideas welcome...

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in an R package that uses rstantools: change a Stan source file, run rstan_config(), and build while checking whether the changed source is present. Compare that with deleting the relevant generated source files before building; done means changes to Stan files reliably trigger compilation without manual deletion.
