I do have a partial fix for the original issue, but haven’t had a chance to properly test it yet.

I think the question about error handling needs to be considered separately - I’d rather fail early and loudly where all the context is available. Also the logic is already more convoluted than I’d like, so I’d prefer to defer changes to when we have a better idea about #608

Related though, I have been thinking about an approach to resuming long running processes, which might make loud failure more palatable - on error you could fix the input file, then rerun the same command with a --resume option, maybe?

I will investigate later today if I get a chance.
