Description

This will result in an error like this:

  File "/src/pvactools/lib/pipeline.py", line 100, in print_log
    elif current_inputs[key] != past_inputs[key]:
KeyError: 'phased_proximal_variants_vcf'

The solution is to first check whether key exists in both input lists.

Research direction

Start in src/pvactools/lib/pipeline.py at print_log, especially the comparison around line 100. Check how current_inputs and past_inputs are built, then verify that a pVACseq rerun with a newer argument completes without a KeyError when the older log lacks that argument.
