That occurred to me, but I don't quite think that's the issue. I just
noticed that on the repo I use to test build matrices, jobs 1-8 don't
generate a report, but 9-14 and 19-20 do [1]. I don't think it's an
issue with write permissions (scan-build complains much more vocally
if that happens), but it doesn't seem to matter if the output dir is
in the tmpfs [2] or a local directory [3].

Agreed. I'm not sure if macOS static analysis would bring any specific
benefits; I don't really have much experience with static analysis
tools one way or another, so I'm happy to defer on this decision.

Brain fart on my end.
