Description
Many adaptors write old state.data objects into state.references
openfn v1 does not remove this from the final state, but encourages users to do so manually because it's basically just bloat.
https://docs.openfn.org/documentation/build/triggers#a-quick-fix-for-final-state-bloat
Refernces is useful inside a job but probably not outside it (and references from job a presumably should not be passed to job b).
The new runtime does not do any management of references. Should it? Jjust like it removes state.configuration.
