Dropping the double-dash asides left 72 comments and docstrings with
half a dash glued to the next word ("shape -a size or a size range -is
all"). They now read as a colon, a comma or parentheses, and a prose
style test names any that comes back.
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 documented example looked up a test fixture hash, printed NOT FOUND
and exited 0. The docs now use a hash the database holds and say which
line forms a hash file accepts.
A data directory copy found by name was returned without the size and
Adler-32 checks the name steps over bios/ apply. The verdict now runs
both, for the cache walk, the foreign-tree fallback and release assets.
generate_pack.py held six responsibilities in 4744 lines. Five move out
in dependency order, so nothing above reaches back down: destinations,
core extras, resolution with its storage tiers, the notes shipped inside
a pack, and the pack verifier. generate_pack.py keeps the build and the
command line, and re-exports the rest.
Two things the move surfaced. The offline switch was a module global the
command line assigned, which a re-export would have copied and frozen at
False; it is set through a call now and not re-exported. And a facade
placed after the entry point binds too late: importing the module worked,
running it did not, so the manifest run died on a name the tests never
exercised because tests import.
Verified against the previous revision on frozen inputs: every generated
artefact is identical, save the catalogue that embeds hashes of files
carrying a build timestamp.
