generate_db: add by_sha256 index for O(1) variant lookup.
verify: _find_best_variant uses indexed sha256 instead of O(n) scan.
validation: check_file_validation returns (reason, emulators) tuple,
attributing mismatch only to emulators whose check actually failed.
beetle_psx: remove incorrect size field for ps1_rom.bin (code does
not validate size, swanstation is sole size authority).
Run ruff check --fix: remove unused imports (F401), fix f-strings
without placeholders (F541), remove unused variables (F841), fix
duplicate dict key (F601).
Run isort --profile black: normalize import ordering across all files.
Run ruff format: apply consistent formatting (black-compatible) to
all 58 Python files.
3 intentional E402 remain (imports after require_yaml() must execute
after yaml is available).
Move verification logic to generate_pack.py --verify-packs (single
source of truth). test_pack_integrity.py is now a thin wrapper that
calls the CLI. Pipeline step 6/8 uses the same CLI entry point.
Renumber all pipeline steps 1-8 (was skipping from 5 to 8/9).
Update generate_site.py with pack integrity test documentation.
Extract each platform ZIP to tmp/ (real filesystem, not /tmp tmpfs)
and verify every declared file exists at the correct path with the
correct hash per the platform's native verification mode.
Handles ZIP inner content verification (checkInsideZip, md5_composite,
inner ROM MD5) and path collision deduplication.
Integrated as pipeline step 6/8. Renumber all pipeline steps to be
sequential (was skipping from 5 to 8).
sparse clone upstream repos, parse BIOS root sets from C source,
cache as JSON, merge into emulator profiles with backup.
covers macro expansion, version detection, subset profile protection.
bios_mode: agnostic (profile) and agnostic: true (file) for
emulators that accept any valid BIOS without specific filename.
find_undeclared_files skips agnostic entries, pack extras scan
includes all matching DB files by path prefix + size criteria,
resolve_local_file has agnostic fallback with rename README.
applied to pcsx2, lrps2 (bios_mode), melonds dsi_nand (file).
expand_platform_declared_names resolves platform file MD5s
through the database to recover canonical names and aliases,
eliminating false positive undeclared files when a platform
renames a file (e.g. Batocera ROM1 vs gsplus ROM).
Add many MAME/MESS BIOS entries (TRS-80 family, Bandai RX-78, Sega AI) and update docs/navigation counts (README, mkdocs). Remove empty supplemental file references from database.json and update generated timestamps and totals. Harden and refactor tooling: add MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE limited reader in base_scraper, make target scrapers an abstract base, narrow exception handling in the Batocera targets parser, and switch generate_pack.py and verify.py to use build_target_cores_cache (simplifies target config loading and error handling). verify.py also loads supplemental cross-reference names and accepts them through verify_platform. Update tests to import from updated modules (validation/truth). Misc: small bugfix for case-insensitive path conflict check.
