Research direction

Trace the scheduler invocation and the JobSpec handling in the DVSim codebase, then identify how the scratch directory is selected. Verify the behavior for a run containing multiple JobSpec objects and confirm that each object is saved before its job is submitted to the scheduler.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Prior to calling the scheduler, save each individual JobSpec object to the scratch directory. This provides a useful debugging checkpoint, and opens up a number of potential new features... such as pausing and resuming regressions, retrying failed jobs due to transient issues (license availability).
