I installed the latest test version before checking small groups of stories for new chapters.
The first thing I noticed is that the fetching metadata is still happening in a single process rather than one per site. I'm guessing that was intentional rather than oversight, but I wanted to mention it, as it seems to lead into the bigger issue I noticed.
If none of the stories in the group have updates, I get a single request to update the metadata, and it updates the "Last Checked" value on all of the stories. I then get an "ERROR: Unhandled exception" with "KeyError: 'site'"
Spoiler:

However, if there are stories that do have updates, only those stories seem to be passed on to the next step, so the "Last Checked" value is not updated on the stories that don't have updates and no error pops up.
This also means that any errors captured while fetching metadata are lost, unless there are no good updates.
Also, just an FYI, if you turn off the reconsolidation option, only the stories from the last site to finish remain marked, as all previous marks are cleared. It seems obvious, now...
