engine: should be respected globally at the _quarto.yml level #3157

Bug description

In the _quarto.yml file, setting engine: knitr or any variants (jupyter: python3, etc) should apply as the default for any files unless modified in the subsequent file's YAML.

On M1 Pro Mac running MacOS Monteray.

Using RStudio Version 2022.12.0-preview+303 (2022.12.0-preview+303)

Quarto v1.2.242

Reprex:

  1. Create a project

    quarto create-project test-engine
  2. Set engine: knitr in the _quarto.yml

project:
  type: website

website:
  title: "test-engine"
  navbar:
    left:
      - href: index.qmd
        text: Home
      - about.qmd

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    css: styles.css
    toc: true

engine: knitr #<- this is the change
  1. 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.
