We are technically not Doing nothing anymore right?

I think icwym. You're probably referring to the junit being named 'noop'? It depends a lot on how you parse that in your brain imo. I read it as it's noop in terms of the status of the repair, which doesn't change. You probably read it as a pure 100% noop whereas now we're updating a timestamp? Some other people read junits as a pseudo-doc of the expected behavior of what a noop status operation should do 🤷 I think we're good and we avoid adding an extra almost identical test.
