When I run `quarto render --execute --to html --output-dir public`, I get

```
[17/17] references.qmd

Starting conda-env-first-carpal-py kernel...(Notebook read from cache)


File ../references.bib not found in resource path
```

I have `references.bib` in my project. What can be causing this error?
