I've resolved the merge conflict locally. The conflict was on the r-version matrix line — I kept both 4.1.1 and 4.2.3 (accepting the version added on main) while keeping 3.6.3 removed (the PR's intent). I also fixed the broken YAML indentation in the Install dependencies step that came from main, and added ..Rcheck/ and .DS_Store to .gitignore.

Unfortunately the push was rejected because the branch is protected by a repository rule (Cannot update this protected ref). A repository admin will need to adjust the branch protection rules to allow the merge conflict resolution to be pushed.
