Description

Twice recently, the Opsman pipeline has claimed TWO environments. It only actually uses one of them, and then only unclaims one of them. This leaves one of the environments in limbo, until a human notices and manually unclaims it.

This is what it looks like in the pipeline.

Is there any additional information I can give you next time this happens to help you diagnose?
