Daily auto-fix log on NA Ingest's Desktop

~/Desktop/Auto-Fix Logs/<YYYY-MM-DD Weekday> Auto-Fix.log, written line by
line as it happens: auto-fix on/off, each problem and what was done (try n
of 2), the result, when the fault cleared, give-ups, and when it held back
(network problem, several Dante devices gone). Tests write to a temp
folder.
