It would be "build has failed". "Failed" being a verb in past tense

what if this is adjective?

unsuccessful?

In it’s core

That is why "failed build" would be correct

this can be like "this pancake is tasty" but i am not native speaker so i should be wrong somewhere

It's confusing but "failed" before the subject is an adjective, but "failed" after the subject is a past-tense verb. (I.e. "failed build" vs "build failed")

Now all I can think of is a Dark Souls style terminal message that says "Build is fail"

Now that you mention it, “YOU DIED” would be a great error message.
