+## Resubmission
+
+This is a resubmission of an archived package. querychat was archived on
+2026-09-27 because R CMD check failed on `r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang`:
+the test suite assumed that duckdb (a package listed in Suggests) was
+installed on the checking machine.
+
+The failing tests have been fixed: tests that require a package listed in
+`Suggests` now skip when that package isn't installed, rather than erroring
+or silently falling back to another engine. No changes were made to runtime
+package code.
+
