Customized "et-al-min" attribute in citation style csl-file leads to "layout did not converge within 5 attempts" warning

[k4zuy]

Description

When customizing the "et-al-min" attribute in the ieee.csl file the document does compile with the "layout did not converge within 5 attempts" warning will raise. I use this customization to have the amount of authors, when cite inline with form "prose" or "author", cut after three names and replaced with "et. al" instead after seven names which is the defined standard number in ieee.

I tested different numbers and every number lower than six won't work but everything above is fine. I also found out that if the warning will raise or not depends on the "et-al-use-first" attribute (list of authors will be truncated after this amount of authors). When using the following combination: et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="2" no warnig will raise but when using et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" the issue is back.

Customized part in my_ieee.csl

<name and="text" et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1" initialize-with=". "/>

Code in typst

#set cite(style: "../literature/my_ieee.csl"))

or

#bibliography("../literature/literature.bib", title: none, style: "../literature/my_ieee.csl")

I just figured out that it works with et-al-min="3" et-al-use-first="1"
when writing explicitly the locale part in the customized csl-file for et-al and using "et al" instead of "u. a." in german.

<locale xml:lang="de">
    <terms>
      <term name="et-al">et al.</term>
    </terms>
  </locale>

It also works when using "u a." but not when explicitly writing "u. a." So maybe the period after "u" is the problem.
