Description

Follow-up to https://github.com/tidymodels/embed/pull/225/files#r1703885441

uwot fails to install in the GHA for current oldrel-4. We should look into if we can enable that again by

  • moving uwot to Suggests
  • skipping installation of that package conditional on R version in the GHA yaml
  • safeguarding the corresponding tests with skip_if_installed()

This is based on https://github.com/tidymodels/censored/pull/322

Research direction

Start with the linked pull request discussion, then inspect the GHA YAML and the tests that use uwot. Determine which dependency and R-version paths are involved; done means oldrel-4 can run the workflow and the affected tests are safely handled when uwot is unavailable.
