Track guessed as N from the test source. 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 12 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 c513c0190421 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 c513c0190421, last good 1bffdc06510a, 120 commit(s) in range — the watcher narrows this by idle bisect; check tstate/TSTATE.md for the current range.
