Good reminder, I believe automation will help us most of the time. But we need to have a good eye on contract/expand branches,

I don’t believe it may work for all complex cases we may need to solve manually, but at least it should be able to catch add_* operations in contract scripts, or drop_* operations in expand branch. Since there may be exceptions to general automation, we may also need a mechanism to disable such a sanity check for specific scripts.

That is especially important before the test that Ann is looking to implement is not merged.
