The nightly rollup and backup say by their exit status whether they managed, and the deploy leaves the cron file off a host the hall schedules

On the shared host the hall's hall-nightly.sh (game-kit, gamehall/ops) runs
both scripts for every game and checks in with Sentry Crons once for all,
so this game's own check-in files are absent there and its exit status is
the word. A box of its own keeps its cron and check-ins as before.
