Inconsistent output from tidy_description

[csgillespie]

I have the following package DESCRIPTION

Package: jrIdentity
Title: Style Jumping Rivers Branded Content
Version: 0.0.1
Authors@R:
    person(given = "Jumping",
           family = "Rivers",
           role = c("aut", "cre"),
           email = "info@jumpingrivers.com")
Description: Package to provide RMarkdown templates to create
    Jumping Rivers branded content.
License: file LICENSE
Imports:
    rmarkdown,
    rmdformats
Encoding: UTF-8
LazyData: true
RoxygenNote: 6.1.1
Suggest: knitr

Running usethis::use_tidy_description() doesn't change the file. However, when I run use_tidy_description() on our GitLab runner it changes the description line to:

Description: Package to provide RMarkdown templates to create Jumping 
     Rivers branded content.

What I don't understand is why.

• Both systems are ubuntu 18.04
• Both running R 3.6
• Both access the file via a GitLab repo
• Both use the same versions of usethis (1.5.1) and desc (1.20.

I've searched usethis and desc for a width option, but it appears the width of the file is hard-coded

reprex

The DESCRIPTION file above. Not sure what the correct output should be.

Do you have an easy way to figure out if usethis has anything to do with this? I sort of suspect it should repro with desc alone (?), although I obviously have something to gain from that 😬
