Flamenco 2 had the concept of "RNA Overrides", and Flamenco 3 should get this as well.

The idea is that a job definition could get some lines of Python code that set certain properties in Blender. A use case would be to re-render a shot with a higher sample count. Instead of resubmitting the job, an artist could just change the number of samples and re-queue.

This first needs to be redesigned, to see how it fits in with the new JavaScript job compiler scripts, and the way Flamenco interfaces with Blender. Ideally this would be a feature that's implicitly used by Flamenco, that is, without any changes in the job compiler scripts.
