Bumps the rxiv-maker formula to 1.23.4.

Upstream release: https://github.com/HenriquesLab/rxiv-maker/releases/tag/v1.23.4

Fixes bibliography entries dropping the arXiv venue: rxiv_maker_style.bst declared neither eprint nor archiveprefix, so preprint references printed as a bare title, author and year plus a DOI. References now render arXiv:2508.00836.

sha256 verified against the published PyPI sdist.

🟢 Approval recommended

The change is a straightforward version+checksum bump with no functional modifications to the formula logic or tests.

Pull request overview

Changes:

• Bumped rxiv-maker from 1.23.3 to 1.23.4.
• Updated the PyPI sdist url and corresponding sha256 to match the new release artifact.

Review: rxiv-maker 1.23.4 bump

Clean, minimal formula-bump PR — only the url and sha256 lines change, which is exactly right for this kind of update. A few notes:

Code quality

• Diff is scoped correctly (no unrelated changes to depends_on, install, test do, etc.), consistent with how a pure version bump should look.
• sha256 is 64 hex chars (verified length) — no truncation/typo, and both old and new PyPI URL hash-prefixes follow the expected xx/xx/… directory format, so nothing looks malformed.

Bugs / correctness

• Nothing wrong with the formula itself. Note that I couldn't reach files.pythonhosted.org/PyPI JSON API from this sandbox to independently re-download and re-hash the sdist, so I'm trusting the PR description's claim that the sha256 was checked against the published PyPI sdist — worth a maintainer double-check (pip download --no-deps rxiv-maker==1.23.4 -d /tmp && shasum -a 256 …) before merge if that wasn't already done outside CI.

Security

• sha256 pinning is present and updated alongside the URL, so integrity verification stays intact — good practice, no concerns.

Test coverage

• Per TESTING.md, test-rxiv-maker.yml is currently .disabled (Homebrew core issue with versioned Python formula keywords), so this bump won't get automated CI install/test coverage — it relies on the documented local just release rxiv-maker workflow. Worth confirming that was run before merging, since that's the only verification gate right now.
• The formula's test do block only checks --version and --help; it doesn't exercise the bibliography/arXiv-venue rendering fix mentioned in the PR description. That's reasonable to leave to rxiv-maker's own upstream test suite rather than the Homebrew formula test, so not a blocker — just flagging that the fix itself isn't verified at this layer.

Performance

• No concerns; no changes to install steps or dependencies.

Overall: looks safe to merge, low risk, matches existing formula conventions in this repo.
