Track guessed as P from the FAILING STEP — line 1 of 2, ./compiler/pascal26 test/test_a_named_dynamic_array_parameter_still_takes_nil_as_a_default.pas /tmp/test_dynarraydefault, which names test/test_a_named_dynamic_array_parameter_still_takes_nil_as_a_default.pas. Not from the job's name or its src: 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 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 fc43936b00d9 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 fc43936b00d9, last good 847091ba8c13, 4 commit(s) in range — the watcher narrows this by idle bisect; check tstate/TSTATE.md for the current range.

Log tail

pascal26:40: error: a parameter of an open-array or fixed-array type cannot have a default value: there is no array literal to write there, so the value would be a scalar whose bytes the callee reads as a length header. A named DYNAMIC array type takes a default (`a: TArr = nil`) because it is a handle (bug-a-managed-string-arg-temp-predicate-is-duplicated-seven-times-and-guarded-nowhere)

Stub ticket: signal only. Track T agent (face 2) enriches or a dev track takes it from the repro line.
