Dear Iris and Ivan, 


Together both your comments were very helpful, and both pointed me at a 
solution to resolve my issue and to explain why this change in behavior 
emerged, and how my package was triggering the behavior.

Solution that worked:

 Editing the DESCRIPTION file to add the line BuildManual: TRUE

Solution that did *not* work (along with variations):
 
 R CMD build --manual  ←Resulted in: Warning: unknown option ‘--manual’
 R CMD --manual build
 R --manual CMD build
 R CMD check --manual

Note: I am using R version 4.4.3 (2025-02-28) -- "Trophy Case" on Ubuntu 
24.04


Thank you both very much for this help!

Alexis Dinno
