Track guessed as P 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 2 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.

Diagnosis and fix (frankwasm, at HEAD): NOT a regression — collateral from a replace keyed on the COUNT
All three tests are correct and unchanged. 89e58402a added canary checks 24-27
and bumped test-quick's qc_nilpy26 expectation from total ok 23 / 23 to
27 / 27 — correctly. The same replace also hit three test-core recipes that
legitimately score 23/23, because total ok N / N is not a unique string in
the Makefile: seven recipes across four tiers share these totals, so a replace
keyed on the count matched by VALUE where the author meant to match by IDENTITY.
Measured at fixedpoint bb3a768b89a2, unmodified sources:
test/test_str_of_unsigned.pas total ok 23 / 23
test/test_val_radix_and_optional_code.pas total ok 23 / 23
test/test_rtl_fpc_compat_helpers.pas total ok 23 / 23
test/quick_canary_nilpy.npy total ok 27 / 27
gate.sh quick was run on 89e58402a and was GREEN — correctly, and it could
not have been otherwise: quick runs test-quick and not test-core, so the
one tier that validated the edit is the one tier containing none of the
collateral. A sed spans the whole 16k-line file; a gate spans one recipe.
Fixed by reverting the three test-core lines to 23 / 23 and leaving
qc_nilpy26 at 27 / 27, plus a comment at the canary line naming the hazard
for the next person who adds checks there. No compiler change.
