Only verify.py and generate_pack.py moved to the repository root. From
any other folder slots, region_audit, provenance_report and bundled_only
said database.json was missing and to rebuild it, identity and
list_platforms named a missing folder, and game_rules ended on a
FileNotFoundError traceback. work_from_repo_root moves to common.py and
the eight tools call it: defaults are read from the root, a path the
user typed from where it was typed.
profile_needs decided held-ness from each record's own name. np2pi's KANJI2.ROM, held as the PC-88 n88knj2.rom, was listed missing and paired with a Fujitsu dump. It now reads by_name as verify does, and an unsourceable entry is not held by a homonym, which lists xm7's KANJI.ROM.
profile_needs read every profile entry, so --missing named 43 files the emulator installs itself among 50 needs and buried the six xm7 ROMs. A bundled entry is skipped unless a platform package leaves it out (not_bundled_on). The report now lists 7 needs.
The acquisition report never read a profile, so XM7's required DICROM.ROM
sat among 2 287 targets at the rank of dumps no core reads. A missing
entry that a profile reads and the collection lacks is now listed first
with the profile, matched by hash or, for a hashless entry with a size,
by name and size. 29 entries on the current snapshots.
17 TOSEC ZX Spectrum ROMs reported missing ship inside MAME's spectrum.zip from 0.190 to 0.289, while the collection holds only FBNeo's one-member archive of that name. provenance_report --missing and the site's wanted list now name the set, the member and the versions, matched by crc32 and size and by sha1 where both sides carry one.
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
The Wanted page listed 79 dumps the collection already produces,
such as a Kickstart's byte-swapped words or the halves of a C128
character ROM. The pipeline now records which missing dumps can be
derived, in derivable.json, and the page moves them to a section of
their own that names the held file and the transform.
Several DATs list the same dump, as No-Intro's three FM-7 sets do
for their system ROMs, and the provenance report counted it once per
listing: 2485 missing announced for 2284 distinct dumps, on the site
as well. Dumps are now counted by identity, each keeping the DATs
that list it.
argparse completed a prefix into the only flag starting with it:
slots.py --emulator read profiles from a directory named after the
emulator and reported nothing, and pipeline.py --all built every pack
variant. Every parser now refuses an abbreviation.
