Will it just become `verse`?

Yes officially with the recent {quarto} package:
cran.r-project.org/web/packages...
And unofficially you can use that syntax under knitr. (And the !expr syntax in code chunk options.)

I can move the .venv outside (UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT) but this is not standard and not well recognized by Positron.

uv is generally fine (new releases take a while to get whitelisted — same as Positron, ark, ...). But most other packages are dead: dbt, airflow, flask, csvkit, pip, sometimes Python. (Plus Onedrive doesn't support symlinks, the .venv gets actually filled by the library.)

Still, Python ships lots of executables, and Windows Defender is not happy. So uv is still unusable since I can't add an exception for each project. And the maintainer refuses to use a centralized library: {renv} does it better!

Label dictionary by teunbrand · Pull Request #6077 · tidyverse/ggplot2
This PR aims to fix #5178.
Briefly, it adds labs(dict) that allows one to use a data-dictionary to label a plot based on variable names (rather than aesthetics).
Let's just jump into examples.

Luckily it's getting less and less necessary in R, empty arguments (trailing commas) are often supported within the tidyverse 🍻

Without leaving the tidyverse, just extract the numbers with readr::parse_number(), then use order() on the string:
Treatment <- c("Control", "Asprin 10mg/day", "Asprin 50mg/day", "Asprin 100mg/day", "Acetomycin 100mg/day" "Acetomycin 1000mg/day")
Treatment[order(readr::parse_number(Treatment))]
Treatment <- c("Control", "Asprin 10mg/day", "Asprin 50mg/day", "Asprin 100mg/day", "Acetomycin 100mg/day" "Acetomycin 1000mg/day")
Treatment[order(readr::parse_number(Treatment))]
