    This is a follow-up to #4004. That PR added a standalone seed job that would continue to work even if I screwed up the main seed job. But if I understand correctly, the "standalone seed job" does not have permissions to create new jobs. I didn't realize this at the time, but either way my plan would be mostly unchanged. The standalone job did succeed, so it has the power to restore existing jobs if not to create new ones.
    
    This switches the main seed job to have the same contents, leaving the standalone job as a backup so we can restore easily.
    
    The end goal is this: we "never" touch the seed job again, and no tweaking of other jobs can affect it. Then we can start to improve them safely.
