I moved a book to a new directory, removed _freeze, re-started a book project, and rendered all chapters.   All chapters look fine except for one, using `Quarto` 0.9.648.  The directory `_book/chaptername_files` is empty even though there were no execution errors.

I haven't changed any of the chapter script.  I'm sorry I can't produce a short example.

**UPDATE** The chapter starts with two `mermaid` charts.  When I remove those two chunks the graphs render as they are supposed to.

**UPDATE 2** When I put the chapter as a self-contained article there is no problem with the figures.  The `book` environment seems to have a problem.

Here is a minimal failing example book: https://hbiostat.org/attach/btest.zip

**UPDATE 3** I had to go all the way back to `Quarto` 0.9.560 to get the figures rendered when preceded by a `mermaid` chunk.
