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.

Range

The named sha 6d68643f9799 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 6d68643f9799, last good 1d8db8667267, 5 commit(s) in range — the watcher narrows this by idle bisect; check tstate/TSTATE.md for the current range.

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.
