I just added a package to my #RUniverse packages.json but there was a problem updating the registry (was working fine before). The logs are here. https://github.com/r-universe/ellakaye/actions/runs/14268759000/job/39996861708. The problem seems to be in the line "fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled”. Is this a temporary glitch? If not, any ideas how to fix it? I have a PAT set up that seems to be working fine in other contexts.

@njtierney @kellybodwin @PipingHotData Having added tests, @maelle looked at the source and suggested using `withr::local_seed()` (as opposed to `set.seed()`). A good reason why it’s worth following package good-practice, even for silly packages, you get to learn about package better-practice!

Also, this was very much the theme of @fontikar’s talk at #useR2024 https://userconf2024.sched.com/event/1c8zy/why-build-silly-things-in-r-fonti-kar-university-of-new-south-wales

Postscript: At the #RStats dev day (the day after the main #useR2024 conf), organised by @R_Contributors, @kellybodwin and I submitted a patch to fix the alignment bug in the stem() plot, which I discussed in the talk. It was a really fun day, and a nice result! Huge thanks to Paul Murrell and Martin Maechler from R Core for their friendly and helpful support.
