Machine-written logs no longer block builds
A pair of log files stopped our next build because they looked like unfinished edits.
A launchd job rewrote them after every run, while our build check treated any changed file as a person's unfinished work. The check found two machine-written paths with no declaration explaining who owned them.
We declared both paths as machine-written, so those files can change without blocking the next build.
