In which case does geekotest try to run sudo? the steps to reproduce show something that only a human operator would do, probably not any existing automation. Can you clarify?

just for the record as I just saw this. My understanding this is indeed occurred from human doing. And apparently we dont want to get emails in such cases.

I still want to get an email for something that is noteworthy and extraordinary. If it's recurring then we should handle it differently of course.
