Yes I built this vignette probably over 150 times through the course of working out other NOTES, via rhub::check_for_cran, devtools::check, devtools::build_vignette, R CMD CHECK, some other devtools function which checks for win devel the exact name of which escapes me atm…

I would suspect it's because the results in your vignette are not fixed, but rely on web queries, so it just so happens that the first entry that you print changed in the NIH database and now triggers the problem. This issue has not been picked up because presumably the previous result was shorter.

Yes, you have to increase the version number on each submission.

I have precisely one image in my vignette; I�ve passed all the checks locally and for the CRAN submission, so I am stumped how to go about reproducing this error or fixing it. Looking for advice.
