[Wtr-general] Beep for intervention?

[Charley Baker]

I'd say like this seems like a really bad idea, automation code smells. Why
do you need human intervention? While it's possible to beep, pause, throw up
a dialog, whatever else, while waiting for people to interact with the
environment, it doesn't really make for automated tests that can run with a
build process. What can't you automate, why the human interaction?
