Description

Related: https://github.com/runtimeverification/evm-semantics/pull/1964

As suggested by @ehildenb and @PetarMax, we can make a "on-demand" CI job that can update expected outputs on a branch. That would solve the K version mis-matches. It could be triggered on a branch and then push the update to that branch. We would need to make sure not to abuse it, and actually inspect the updated output. That was previously done in KEVM https://github.com/runtimeverification/evm-semantics/pull/1964, so we should just adapt it to the current Kontrol and enable it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the related evm-semantics pull request 1964 to understand the earlier on-demand output-update CI workflow, then identify the corresponding CI configuration in Kontrol. Done means a branch-triggered job can update expected outputs and push them back to that branch, with the generated output inspected before use.
