This review will try to cover the most relevant changes since snapshot 20241218 and include things up to 20250108, which is the latest snapshot published as of this writing.

Ted Unangst ☛ a grep that doesn't stuck
The file isn’t being appended, meaning tail won’t exit, so we don’t expect the pipeline to ever finish, but we would like to see the current results.
