The site tests read the SHARE drive label and the line-mode wording
from the source, and the pack-systems test needs generate_pack.py,
which needs Python 3.9.
The rules lived only in the local commit-msg hook, which CI and other clones do not have, so autorun could only check a subject's shape there. scripts/commit_rules.py now holds them, the hook calls it, and autorun checks every job subject with it when the job list loads.
A pack's system titles, names and ids are read only without control
characters, and the systems list and the same-choice line go through
screen_text. The --yes row of the option table says it implies
--no-input.
Answers code_audit_17 and tui_audit_10: the folder found after o, SHARE
drive roots, one same-choice command, a counted confirm step in line
mode, counts from the narrowed list, read-only advice without sudo,
systems recorded in packs, Ctrl-Z stopping the whole job, and the
wording, layout and docs items.
With COMMAND_AUTH_DEVICE and COMMAND_GET_AUTH reading CR2, beetle_saturn 2ce77e2 authenticates the Video CD Card on Lunar - Silver Star Story MPEG: MPEG.AuthState is 02 with the HSS-0119 and the MK-80310 images, 00 with no file. The full machine state differs between two identical repetitions, the authentication state does not.
The copy shipped first was the European MK-80310 Video CD card (its header reads VIDEO CD PLAYER PAL MK-80310, version 1.105). Lunar Silver Star Story MPEG, the Saturn game that needs a card, names the Movie Card, so the Japanese HSS-0119 (V1.102) now leads and the MK-80310 stays as a variant. No emulator tested reads the card's content today (records in measurements/beetle_saturn.jsonl), and no platform pins a hash for this file. Issue 85.
The runner carried its own copy of the refused vocabulary, which put those words in a tracked file. It now runs the commit-msg hook on each job's subject when the job list loads, and checks only the shape where no hook exists.
Runs the jobs of automation/jobs.yml under one host lock, with load and disk guards, one idle retry on a host misread, artifacts computed twice, explicit-path commits in .cache/autorun/worktree, an opt-in push (--push) and a CI circuit breaker. First jobs: nightly refresh chain, large-files asset dry run, disk cleanup and check, weekly bios integrity. install-timers writes systemd user units without enabling them.
Rehashes every file database.json names. A confirmed mismatch on a committed file git sees as unmodified is restored from its HEAD blob after the blob is checked, then hashed again. Gitignored files are flagged only.
Uploads the large-files assets check_release_assets reports out of date, only when the SHA-1 read twice equals database.json. Dry run by default, the release description is never edited.
Tracked form of the private worktree and tmp cleanup: busy, recent and modified worktrees are kept, branches stay, tmp/acquire and bundles stay, and an entry holding a worktree is left to the worktree rule. Exit 1 under --alert-gb free.
--findings FILE takes a check_freshness.py --json report written earlier, kept to the --only areas, so one full check can drive a refresh of a few areas.
The TERM probe test answers the setup question, first-install keeps
its button name on one line and under 400 words, and --page of the
installer doc script is named on the page.
Each line of measurements/<emulator>.jsonl now holds the whole run:
every repetition, core logs, per-frame hashes and raw timings. The gzip
data files, the data schema and the split and join code are gone, and
core_probe --record appends one line. record_version moves to 3.
The seven records are rewritten once: each new line equals its old line
joined with its data file, and rebuilds the first-layout file its id
hashes.
Answers code_audit_16 and tui_audit_9: share drives give their bios
folder, card markers stop at mount points, a model finds its family,
the folder question quits on q, pages move by the rows drawn, and a
folder the installer proposed is created without the guard.
scripts/generate_installer_doc.py rewrites the marked tables of
wiki/installer.md: options from build_parser(), events from EVENT_KEYS,
exit codes from the sys.exit calls, RETROBIOS_PAD values and the keys of
each route from TUI_ROUTES, the one table the bar, the help and the stop
line now read. Prose cells are kept, a row the code gains stops the
script until its text is written, and --check runs in the tests. The
site drops the markers.
The full screen falls back to the line questions where the terminal's
terminfo moves no cursor the ANSI way (vt52, glass terminals), and --tui
names why. The line mode draws no escape code with TERM unset, dumb or
such a terminal. Ctrl-Z typed on the screen stops the run as SIGTSTP
does, the terminal handed back and redrawn on fg. A window too small
names 40x12 and its own size.
Pty tests check the modes, the cursor and the main screen after Ctrl-C,
Ctrl-D, SIGTERM, SIGHUP and Ctrl-Z then fg. Tests from a mutmut run over
the device filter, the card bounds and the WSL paths raise its score
from 62/71 to 71/71. The parser lists its options in the page's order,
with NAME, PATH, NAMES and N as arguments.
The site compiles the index and the SQLite files from measurements/
instead of a pinned clone. The pin, the sync script, the CI clone steps,
the freshness area and its refresh handler are gone. core_probe --record
writes into measurements/ of the checkout by default, and a test fails
when a line or data file HEAD holds changed or vanished.
The seven core probe records move from Abdess/retrobios-measurements at
75e878143687 into this repository, copied byte for byte: one .jsonl per
emulator and a gzip data file per record. merge=union lets two branches
that each add a line merge.
First install says where a device name is typed. The key table gives each
pad route its buttons, the --plain claims match the parity work, and the
error event, exit code and --dest rows name the card refusals.
Line mode finds mounted cards, shows its menu and names the folder for a
pack, asks the folder instead of taking a default, and lists setups in the
screen's order. Devices have one spelling each, matched without case,
spaces or punctuation, and a device several systems run lists them all.
--tui --dest reads a card as --plain does. Card boundaries read every
parent up to a mount point from mountinfo. --offline with --yes counts the
files it leaves out as pending, never as failed. The P3 points of
code_audit_15 and tui_audit_8 follow.
core_probe options --emulator, --subject and --supersedes, the record split into line and sidecar, sync_measurements.py and what the site build compiles from the pin.
Each emulator with records gets a Tested block: claim, result, method, computer, core build and the permalink of its record at the pin. A Measurements page filters every test in the browser from the compact index, and the Data page lists measurements.sqlite with its tables. One SQLite file per emulator is linked from its page. wiki/measurements.md says how a test runs, held to the Start here budgets.
Both workflows fetch the pinned commit alone with git before the build, and the deploy fails without it.
measurements-pin.json names the measurements repository and the commit read. sync_measurements.py reads the clone in .cache/measurements at that commit, checks every line against its id and sidecar, and writes the site index and the SQLite databases. --fetch refuses a remote that changed or removed a line the pin holds, --bump moves the pin. validate_schemas checks every line and sidecar against their schemas, check_freshness flags a pin behind the remote head.
A record is now one line of records/<emulator>.jsonl in the measurements repository, under 20 KB, and a gzip sidecar holding every repetition, the core logs and the raw timings, its sha256 in the line. record_version 2, core-probe-data.schema.json for the sidecar. core_probe --record appends to a measurements clone and refuses a directory inside this repository's tracked tree.
The seven records of issue 85 moved to Abdess/retrobios-measurements: each line plus its sidecar rebuilds the first file, and keeps its first id.
The probe skipped run_cli, accepted option prefixes in its shared options, left three options undocumented and was missing from the published schemas. The worker runs under -I, so the script directory is put back on sys.path before importing common.
Seven core_probe check records for issue 85: Beetle Saturn and Yabause on a Video CD and on Lunar - Silver Star Story MPEG, each run with the eight mpeg_card.bin images, no file, zeros and a 1-byte file.
The opening line follows the profiles' required and hle_fallback data: it reads "No file needed with ... Only ... require scph5501.bin" since most PlayStation cores run without the BIOS. The test asserted the words "Start with"; it now asserts what it meant, a linked scph BIOS before the first card.
