"behaves incorrectly" / "not supported": this issue, confirmed in up to four environments (another build directory, another node, a repeat). "fails another way": a different failure, not counted as this issue. "unknown": not run there, or the runs disagree.

! # Draft finding: omp52-w-optional-absent on afar
!
! - compiler: afar
! - toolchain: afar; arch: gfx942; machine: tuolumne; memory mode: unified; opt: -O2
! - program: catalog omp52-w-optional-absent (f90, version 52, sha256 a951b1f34bd1c3af)
! - expected: check=pass (trusted; elision + model)
! - actual: crash  (crash: SIGABRT; without mandatory: crash: SIGABRT)
! - verdict: compiler_bug by rule R20-runtime-bug: a legal program fails at run time, deterministically, against an expected value
!   from two or more independent sources with an executed witness, and another toolchain, mode, arch or the elision gives the
!   expected value
! - reason: expected trusted check=pass (elision + model): stored main verdict: elision + model agree; witnesses:
!   cce19/gfx942/unified, cce20/gfx942/unified, cce21/gfx942/unified, elision
! - citations: RUL-DERIVED-NEEDS-EXECUTION (rulings.md); RUL-WITNESS-PER-MODE (rulings.md);
!   RUL-SAME-COMPILER-RUNS (rulings.md); RUL-PRESENCE-WITNESS (rulings.md); RUL-METAMORPHIC-OTHER-FAMILY
!   (rulings.md)
! - legality: legal: offload.engine.rules accepts it (offload.engine.prerun.check, rerun: with the
!   race rule and the restriction checks); nvfortran/nvc 26.9 and 25.11 (NVHPC, not under test
!   here) compile it; the check's other witness, the AFAR flang front end, is the compiler under
!   test and is not counted; no gfortran or gcc is a legality witness
! - witnesses: cce19/gfx942/unified, cce20/gfx942/unified, cce21/gfx942/unified, elision
