6.5 Rerun a Historical Job Exactly

Before rerunning, check the historical inputs, BioLine Flow/Version and Job, downstream Tool NAME:VERSION, summary/config snapshot or hash, generated script, and actual command. Confirm that the current account can still access the required objects and inputs.

Use the recorded exact Tool version, not latest, and do not silently switch versions if the original image is unavailable. Compare the newly pulled image identity with the historical pull ledger; explain any version or identity difference before running. When you rerun the archived script against the inputs, retain the new logs, resource environment, and outputs, and clearly mark conditions that could not be reproduced.

Pinned versions and complete records improve reproducibility, but cannot guarantee that external data, BioLine services, or host environments remain unchanged.
