> After doing a bunch of fault testing, I noticed that the JNs had a bunch of
> temporary files left around in their journal directories which were no longer
> within the retention period. For example, if a JN crashes in the middle of
> recovery, it can leave around a file like {{edits_inprogress_123.epoch=10}}.
> These files are handy to keep around for forensics/debugging while they are
> still in their retention period, but we should not leave them forever. The
> normal purging policy should apply.
