Track guessed as N from the FAILING STEP — line 1 of 75, ./compiler/pascal26 --no-shims test/test_nilpy_import_sqlite.npy /tmp/test_nilpy_import_sqlite26, which names test/test_nilpy_import_sqlite.npy. Not from the job's name or its src: those describe what the job is ABOUT, and this job's recipe spans 4 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 3 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.

Range

The named sha 62fc7c1e802a CANNOT be the cause — it touches no buildable file (docs / tickets / tstate only). It is the sha that was TESTED, i.e. the upper bound of an untested range; the cause is somewhere below it.

bad 62fc7c1e802a, last good 2e07225c3cd1, 4 commit(s) in range — the watcher narrows this by idle bisect; check tstate/TSTATE.md for the current range.

Log tail

pascal26:1: error: undefined reference to extern variable `sqlite3_version': it is declared `extern' and used, and nothing defines it. An executable has no import for it to bind to, so it would read zero. Define it in one translation unit, or build with --emit-obj and link it where it is defined

Log

• 2026-10-09 — the borg watcher saw test-nilpy#src:test/test_nilpy_import_sqlite.npy GREEN at 39225dde3632 (tier full) and did NOT close this: this is a repeat stub (regression-test-nilpy-test-nilpy-import-sqlite-3, not regression-test-nilpy-test-nilpy-import-sqlite) — 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.
