#13600 introduced three new execution modes with a separate mode for
writing files in the `out/` directory. However, a newly written `out/`
directory may differ from a previous `out/` directory even if the
`status/` directory has not changed. The main (or only?) reason is that
documents containing graphs only contain the past 3 days, 1 week, etc. of
data ending at the ''current system time'' when writing documents. We
could change that and write the ''last known'' 3 days, 1 week, etc. of
data to make the process of writing the `out/` directory from data in the
`status/` directory more deterministic. We should try changing that to
see if there are other differences. If it's easy, let's do it.
