 #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.
