Packs were opened on their final name, so a rebuild truncated the
previous one and a build that failed half way left a readable ZIP
of part of the files. Each pack is now written beside its name and
replaces it only when the write finished.
A tag looked up before it was pushed was cached as absent for good,
so a profile pinned on that release was never recognised as frozen
on it. The absence now expires; a tag found stays cached.
The commit list behind the triage drift score was cached for good,
so pushes upstream never moved a profile up the triage. It now
expires like the other moving answers.
Emulator mode reduced region groups without knowing which files the
collection holds, so a requested-region image nobody had collected
withdrew the held one and left the slot empty. Platform mode already
kept it; both emulator readers now pass the database.
The platform's files and the core extras for the Master System sat
in two region groups, sega-master-system and sega-mastersystem,
reduced apart. A US pack kept the declared Japanese BIOS. A core
extra's system group now takes the platform's spelling, in the pack,
the report and the installer's manifest fields alike.
generate_truth named a narrowed model's directory after the target
as typed, so three aliases of one target wrote three copies, and
the pipeline rebuilt the slug by hand to diff it. One function now
names the directory from the canonical target for both.
A target was canonicalised once for the run and kept as typed under
--all when platforms file it differently, so the --all build and a
--platform check named the same Batocera pack two ways. Each pack,
group, manifest and expected name now takes the target as its own
platform files it.
--platform --system --one-per-slot was refused with a message
asking for --platform, which the command carried. The refusal now
names --system or --emulator, and every refusal in the mode matrix
is checked never to ask for a flag it was given.
generate_pack split --platform on commas to validate it, then used
the whole string as one platform and crashed. Every script takes a
single platform; a list is refused with a message pointing at --all.
verify accepted --verbose beside --json and dropped it in every
mode, so the output was the same with or without it. The JSON now
lists every entry with its ground truth under --verbose.
A prose citation whose text lived under several pins stayed in
read again until the text changed, so fixnes, zesarux and emucorex,
exact at their pins, would have refused every later bump.
prose_written_at names the pin a reader confirmed; it settles the
readings and never overrides a history with one candidate.
lynx-emu cites the mednafen upstream after a semicolon, which the
prose scanner did not treat as a list delimiter, so the citation
was charged to the fork the profile was read from.
Offline, fetch_file answered None for a path the cache never
stored, the same answer as a path known to be absent, and
profile_sync reported existing files as gone. A miss now raises
NotCachedError and the profile is reported unverified.
libretro/TIC-80 builds nesbox/TIC-80 through its core submodule
and tic80's upstream_commit is that submodule commit. Compared to
nesbox HEAD, profile_sync reported changes the shipped core never
had, and a bump would have moved the pin past it. When an upstream
pin is a submodule pointer of the source pin, its head is the
pointer at the source HEAD.
A comment named the Bluetooth directory twice, a path no revision
holds, and every firmware ref sat ten lines above the case it meant.
Each now cites its case and return at the pinned commit. The schema
check reads profiles as text and refuses a citation that repeats
its own directories.
Only a .variants/ copy matched IPLROM.X1 exactly, so x1 got
Recalbox's second md5 while iplrom.x1, the dump every platform
pins, sat beside it. When every exact-case match is a variant, a
primary in the same directory under its own name joins the
candidates. Another machine's font.rom or an alias pointing at a
different file does not.
slots dropped the last extension of any .variants/ name, so a
variant stored under its plain name (63 of them, aes.zip among
them) was not the family of its primary and a platform declaring
both at one path would read as a collision. The database already
stripped an eight-hex suffix only; both now read one function.
A copy under .variants/ exists to hold a content its primary does
not. 29 held bytes another file already carried, under a second or
third identity: msx.rom and MSX.ROM variants equal to
MSX_8020-20bios.rom, naomi2.zip.da79eca4 whose suffix named the
primary's sha1 rather than its own. dedup now removes such a copy,
keeping one when only variants hold the content. The LaserActive
PAC-S10 BIOS lived only under .variants/ while RetroBat names it
without a hash; it moves beside its siblings.
The name step only ranked archive copies by members declared
through archive sub-entries, and the contents an archive entry lists
never reached the resolver, so the first copy indexed won. contents
now ranks copies by crc32, or by member name where the code opens
by name, and the report and both extra passes carry it. With no
layout declared, a primary holding every ROM of the others wins;
two revisions keep the index order.
The four MT-32 and CM-32L ROMs had a second copy in the Amiga
tree, and the identity exemption that hid the crossing named a
DOSBox tree instead. The copies move next to the Munt ROMs already
under Roland, and each exemption now names the makers it covers,
so a copy under a third one is reported.
