+ *     touching a file or a job; `loaded-current` plus an identical plist and an unchanged
+ *     token file means there is nothing to repair, and a repair of a healthy service must

+ *     `load -w` over a bootstrapped job exits 0 with "Load failed: 5" and does nothing,
+ *     and `bootstrap` exits 5 with "Bootstrap failed: 5" for the same condition.
+ *  5. On terminal failure restore the previous plist, try to bootstrap it back, and throw
