Fix reverse-dependency CI failure in blotter and quantstrat job

[Copilot]

The reverse-dependency workflow was failing in the blotter and quantstrat job during quantstrat dependency resolution. The failure came from installing dev deps with pak, which attempted to resolve unavailable Suggests (notably rCharts).

• Root cause

  • pak::local_install_dev_deps("revdeps/quantstrat") pulls a broader dependency set and failed on unavailable suggested packages.

• Workflow changes

  • Added explicit workflow tooling dependencies:
    • any::pak
    • any::remotes
  • Replaced quantstrat dependency install step with a core-deps-only install (Depends, Imports, LinkingTo) to avoid non-essential Suggests.
  • Renamed the step to reflect behavior: Install quantstrat core dependencies.

• Resulting behavior

  • Reverse-dependency checks continue to validate blotter and quantstrat, while avoiding failure paths caused by optional/unresolvable suggestion packages.

- name: Install quantstrat core dependencies
  shell: Rscript {0}
  run: |
    remotes::install_deps(
      "revdeps/quantstrat",
      dependencies = c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo"),
      upgrade = "never"
    )

@copilot It's still broken

Fixed in 2d07cbe. I investigated the new failure logs and updated the quantstrat dependency step to install explicit hard dependencies with pak::pkg_install(...), avoiding the remotes/GitHub-auth path that was returning HTTP 401. This keeps the check focused on required runtime deps and unblocks the blotter and quantstrat job.
