The pack leaves out what an emulator installs itself
(validation.deliverable); the truth did not. RetroPie's gngeopi help
asked users to copy gngeo_data.zip, which make install puts in the
package's data directory, and amiberry's whdboot tree, scummvm's extra
data and dosbox-x's FREECG98.BMP went into platform lists as files to
bring.
The truth applies deliverable per platform and per build: an entry
nobody has to bring is kept and marked bundled, never added, still
corrected where the platform declares it. A rebuilt archive is
installed only when every member is. The runner written beside an
addition is the build that needs the file (_brought_by), and the
RetroPie sentence names only what its package's core must be given.
DuckStation identifies its BIOS by MD5 in a folder it scans
(bios.cpp:208), so its entries' names are labels. The export wrote them
into Batocera's and ROCKNIX's lists as files to hold: a user with only
scph5501.bin read 104 missing BIOS where DuckStation boots. Labels also
lent their md5 to a name another core opens, and paired by name they
replaced System.dat's scph5000.bin hashes.
found_by: name | content, on a profile or a file and keyed by build like
load_from. The truth records which cores open each name (_named_by). A
label pairs with a platform entry by hash only, is never added, merges
with an opened name only on a shared hash, and is counted in the export
report rather than listed as missing.
validation: names what the code verifies. dosbox checks
MT32_CONTROL.ROM against nine sha1 and size; the truth's one md5 and
crc32 describe one of those revisions, and the export wrote them beside
System.dat's own sha1, a rom line no file satisfies, and replaced
Batocera's md5. pcsx_rearmed and DuckStation check scph1001.bin by size,
and the v2.0 md5 platforms name was replaced by v4.1's.
checked_hashes keeps a hash the code does not name only where a checked
hash pins one content. Otherwise it still pairs a renamed file but never
corrects or fills a value the platform wrote. Additions keep every hash.
diff_truth reads the same rule.
Each truth entry claimed its platform line in turn, so the first one to
arrive won. dosbox-x's system.rom (alias bios.rom, no path) took
Batocera's np2kai/BIOS.ROM by name before np2kai's own np2kai/bios.rom
was tried, and the export wrote an IBM PCjr md5 on it. A path also
outranked a contradicting hash: the truth's MSX.rom joins bluemsx's path
and fmsx's md5, which replaced the blueMSX dump on Recalbox's and
System.dat's Machines/Shared Roms/MSX.rom while fmsx's own line held it.
pair_entries runs each test over every entry before the next, tests that
contradict no hash first. export_native and diff_truth both read it.
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.
diff_truth matched by name with a rank, export_native by path, guarded name and hash: on current data each named files the other did not. Both now read one matcher, which also accepts aliases and sha256.
A truth that accepts several sizes left an export with no size even
where the platform states one of them for the same dump, and RomM's
fixture then received the string None, which RomM cannot parse. A
size list now admits the platform's own size, RomM keeps its value
when nothing settles one, and validation requires a number.
Batocera, ROCKNIX and Recalbox find a file through the core that wants
it. Additions now carry that core under the platform's own name: the
emulator/core pair checkBios reads (ROCKNIX's from its emulators
package), or Recalbox's core attribute. One with no nameable core, or
filed in a system gated on another core, is counted as not stated.
