Subject: [PATCH] Call Typst binary directly for compile and SyncTeX support
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Instead of going through 'quarto typst compile' (which intercepts
--synctex before it reaches Typst), call the Typst binary bundled in
the Quarto .deb directly at /opt/quarto/bin/tools/x86_64/typst.

This allows passing --synctex output.synctex.gz to generate the SyncTeX
file for bidirectional editor↔PDF sync.
