If you are starting and restarting, or running multiple jobs then the log can be partially rebuilt.  On rebuild only the FINISHED entries are added.  If there is a GFF3 result file for the contig, then it is FINISHED. FASTA files will only exist for the contigs that have gene models. Small contigs will rarely contain models.
