There was something in the most recent PR that changed this. "Before" is HEAD~1 and "After" is HEAD

The problem is the command: quarto render --to pdf. Now that we are using profiles, it should be quarto render --profile pdf. Without the profile bit, it doesn't look at that yaml at all. This is part of the "this is more complicated / more than is strictly necessary, but the way that quarto render works it's the only way" but I probably should have been clearer about that in the PR.

I'll add something to the writer's notes myself, thanks for clarifying!
