+          # deliberately, after running the job's sequence locally against the
+          # new SHA. This one folds leniently (gasp#3): a dangling op is a note
+          # on the certificate, not an abort, so check 2 now reports what it
+          # skipped instead of failing the whole run at the first bad op.
