 # When we say "parallel," we mean two dimensions of parallelization:
 #   1. Sharding verification across multiple workers. The Kani workflow that calls this script defines WORKER_INDEX and WORKER_TOTAL for this purpose: 
 #   we shard verification across WORKER_TOTAL workers, where each worker has a unique WORKER_INDEX that it uses to derive its share of ALL_HARNESSES to verify.
-#   2. Within a single worker, we parallelize verification between multiple cores by invoking kani with -j VERIFICATION_THREAD_COUNT.
-#   For now, VERIFICATION_THREAD_COUNT=4 since the Kani workflow runs on standard Github runners, which have 3-4 cores.
-#   TODO: If we move to larger runners, we should increase this number.
