Returns int, but that return value is ignored here, and we don't seem to
gain a caller in 6/6?

Not new in this series & I see this is v7 already, so ....

Just odd to see this BISECT_FAILED pattern (which is defined to -1),
instead of "return error(..." like elsewhere.

Then we take that enum and do a "return -res" from main(), i.e. it's not
even that we're somehow guarding everything with these BISECT_* codes in
this file (see 30276765c11 (bisect--helper: use '-res' in
'cmd_bisect__helper' return, 2020-08-28)).

Anyway, can be cleaned up some other time, but...

Here we're doing a "return error...(" directly.

Also not a new issue, but if we just covered the BISECT_AUTOSTART case
here, then we wouldn't need this default/BUG, the compiler would check
that we checked all existing enum arms.
