Description

For the second time, I found a .run file that was invoking the wrong binary. That costs us regression coverage. I don't have any great ideas, but making the common-case .run link to a generic version that infers the binary name from the .run filename might work.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing .run files and how they invoke binaries. Determine a convention that prevents a .run file from referring to the wrong binary; done means regression coverage is no longer silently lost from incorrect binary references.
