./compiler/pascal26 -Fulib/rtl test/test_char_literal_to_pchar_param.pas /tmp/test_charlitpchar26, which namestest/test_char_literal_to_pchar_param.pas. 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 8 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
f2c6ff3288b4CANNOT 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 f2c6ff3288b4, last good 7867c5481c01, 2 commit(s) in range — the watcher narrows this by idle bisect; check tstate/TSTATE.md for the current range.
