Every night leg (DB dump, volume dump, recovery-unit capture, Tier-2 mirror) now leaves alone an app
whose app.yaml pin (pinned_images) differs from its running record (installed_images) - the state a
failed update leaves behind. A hold lifted by hand (--clear-restore-hold + restart) no longer lets the
capture write the just-failed definition over the good unit. Unknown (no pin, no record, a service not
observed) never skips. The log says it per leg; the backups page shows one amber line, hu + en
(backup.status.version_skip). Seam: backup.Manager.SetVersionCheck <- stacks.Manager.PinNotRunning.
Tests: TestR645_HandLiftedHoldKeepsTheGoodUnit (whole night run + Tier 2, unit tree fingerprint),
TestR645_VersionSkipSentence, TestR645_PinNotRunning_*, TestR645_BackupRowSaysTheNightBackupSkipsIt,
TestR645_VersionCheckIsWiredAtStartup.
