Description

If we are unwrapping many interferograms, we may not want a single failed snaphu-pu job to stop everything.

One possible reason- if we attempt multiple variants of unwrapping (ordering from easier/faster/more approximate to longer-running), we'd like to use earlier successes even if later jobs fail.

(this might be a better question to raise in snaphu-py for possible segfault handling changes)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the workflow that unwraps many interferograms and the snaphu-py job boundary; the issue names no files or tests. Reproduce a failed job and determine whether failures can be isolated so earlier successful variants remain usable, or whether segfault handling belongs upstream in snaphu-py.
