Change a chunk in the index.qmd to python:
```{python}
1+1
3. `quarto render`
The render of `index.qmd` is executed within a Jupyter kernel instead of `knitr` + `reticulate` even with the `engine: knitr` set at global/`_quarto.yml` level.
The correct behavior would be to use `knitr` since that is set at the global level.
### Checklist
