quarto create files missing write permission

Bug description

See title and repro. With quarto version 1.8.26 (that's what unstable nixpkgs has, I can't immediately re-check with a newer version, sorry)

Steps to reproduce

emil@fridge /t/q> quarto create
? Create › project
? Type › book
? Directory › .
? Title (book) › asdf
Creating project at /tmp/q:
  - Created _quarto.yml
  - Created index.qmd
  - Created intro.qmd
  - Created summary.qmd
  - Created references.qmd
  - Created cover.png
  - Created references.bib
? Open With › (don't open)
emil@fridge /t/q> la
Permissions Size User Date Modified Name
.rw-r--r--   296 emil 22 Mar 15:44  _quarto.yml
.r--r--r--   51k emil 22 Mar 15:44  cover.png
.rw-r--r--   121 emil 22 Mar 15:44  index.qmd
.rw-r--r--   139 emil 22 Mar 15:44  intro.qmd
.r--r--r--   417 emil 22 Mar 15:44  references.bib
.rw-r--r--    44 emil 22 Mar 15:44  references.qmd
.rw-r--r--    60 emil 22 Mar 15:44  summary.qmd

cover.png and references.bib don't give write permissions to the user. For the record my GID is 100 and UID is 1001 in case it's related

Actual behavior

Quarto team does not maintain Nix version of Quarto CLI which is a custom build made and maintained by third parties.
It uses untested (by Quarto team) dependencies and configuration, so no support can be provided by the Quarto team.

Unless you can provide a reproducible using an official build, that's not something that can be resolved by the Quarto team.
To be clear, I cannot reproduce using latest on Ubuntu and macOS.

Thanks, I tried reproducing it from git in an ubuntu docker and failed, even when I messed with the uid/gid

[cderv]

Thanks for the feedback.

I believe to reproduce you need to have quarto-cli installed in a read-only place.

Currently quarto create does not ensure that file copied from installed directory are user writable, so I'll probably add that. Thank you !
