./compiler/pascal26 test/test_nilpy_float_repr_roundtrip.npy /tmp/test_nilpy_float_repr26, which namestest/test_nilpy_float_repr_roundtrip.npy. Not from the job's name or itssrc: those describe what the job is ABOUT, and this job's recipe spans 2 source file(s). The ranker reads frontmatter, so this line — not the body — decides who works it; correct it if the guess is wrong.
origin/master has advanced 6 commit(s) since this sha. Re-verify at current HEAD before acting — the callback is tagged to the sha that was tested, which may no longer be the state of the tree.

check all four -- the first is the commonest and the last is the one that fools people:
df -h <dir> free BYTES
df -i <dir> free INODES -- can hit 100% while df -h reads 9%
ulimit -f a file-size limit truncates at a plausible size
another pascal26 writing THIS SAME PATH -- two writers interleave,
and the file can then end up the RIGHT size, so its size proves nothing.
Stub ticket: signal only. Track T agent (face 2) enriches or a dev track takes it from the repro line.
Log
- 2026-09-24 — the borg watcher saw
test-nilpy#src:test/test_nilpy_float_repr_roundtrip.npyGREEN at e52b268c9976 (tier full) and did NOT close this: this is a repeat stub (regression-test-nilpy-test-nilpy-float-repr-roundtrip-2, notregression-test-nilpy-test-nilpy-float-repr-roundtrip) — the job already went red, was closed, and came back, so one green is the outcome a live intermittent bug produces most of the time. The green is recorded because it is evidence and because a ticket that stops moving with no reason reads as forgotten; closing this one is a human's call.
