The build writes <page>/index.md beside each page, named in its head,
and llms-full.txt. llms.txt and the setup skill say how to answer from
the site, not from memory, and the setup_bios_files WebMCP tool gives a
setup's folder and exact file names from the picker data.
The RetroArch pack lands in RetroArch Android's system folder, where MediaProvider indexed 3 842 images, sounds and videos (552 MB) into the gallery and music apps: a folder holding .nomedia is hidden with every folder below it (FileUtils.java:1587-1629, ModernMediaScanner.java:845-846, a183e2b9). A pack whose platform files an Android target, unfiltered or built for one, carries an empty .nomedia. pack_files counts it and the integrity check takes it for a marker.
FAT, exFAT and Windows refuse < > : " | ? * in a name (fs/fat/namei_vfat.c:201-207, fs/exfat/nls.c:396-403). RetroDECK's component manifest names zxs:48.rom, zxs:if1-2.rom and snes:st018.data.rom: on an exFAT card each write failed with EINVAL on every run. The installer now probes the BIOS folder as keeps_case does, leaves those entries out and names them.
An install on Android leaves an empty .nomedia in the BIOS folder. MediaProvider hides a folder holding one and every folder below it (FileUtils.java:1587-1629, ModernMediaScanner.java:845-846, a183e2b9), and RetroArch writes none: the samples, overlays and videos of system/ showed in the gallery and music apps. --check and --dry-run write nothing.
--yes alone installed the whole list, 6.4 GB on a dArkOS card holding
two games, while the screen offers what the games need first. A run that
asks nothing now takes that first choice when the card holds games, and
says so. --all-files installs the whole list. A run given its list
(the screen's own runs) or narrowed by name is unchanged.
The README shows the GIF under the commands. The home page and Get your
files show the video through InstallDemo.astro: nothing is fetched until
it is on screen, reduced motion and Save-Data keep the poster with a play
button, and a description is read to screen readers.
scripts/make_demo.py builds an ArkOS card under tmp/demo/, mounts it in a
user mount namespace, serves the checkout on loopback and runs
docs_assets/demo/install.tape with VHS, then encodes the GIF, WebM, MP4
and poster and holds them to their size targets.
llms.txt and an ARD manifest name the pages and the JSON API, and lead
an agent setting up a device to --for-games --required-only. Every page
registers four read-only WebMCP tools: the setup command, a hash lookup,
an emulator's files and the site search.
--for-games --required-only on a dArkOS card from a computer kept every
file of the list: --dest skipped the card's detection, so its rom
folders were never found. The games part beside the BIOS folder now
names them. The manifest marks a data tree every core runs without
(optional), and --required-only leaves it out: one GBA and one SNES game
took FBNeo's cheats and samples, 3,472 files no game opened.
Mini vMac opens no MinivMacBootv2.dsk at babdf7b5: disks come from a .cmd
(libretro-core.c:181-195) or disk1.dsk to disk9.dsk
(OSGLUERETRO.c:563-579). The name is the one Recalbox's configgen writes
into its .cmd, already recorded in its launchers: layer. Nine manifests
no longer send the 24 MB image to platforms that never open it.
Six places read an md5 shorter than 32 digits, each with its own bound.
digest_verdict accepted any prefix down to one digit, while Batocera
compares the whole string (batocera-systems:1088). A cut value now names
a dump only when one held md5 starts with it (cut_md5_owner, read by the
scraper, the resolver and --from-md5), and every verdict compares whole
digests.
tests/__init__.py keeps a run offline, its scratch under tmp/ and its
installer cache its own, but only discover -s tests -t . imported it.
discover tests ran with RETROBIOS_OFFLINE unset, scratch on the /tmp
tmpfs and the user's real installer cache, the setting in which e2e
fixtures had written into the shared .cache/large. Every test module now
imports the package first, and a test fails on a module that does not.
test_verify_listing.py took its line with the previous commit.
With no required firmware among the bundled entries the line read
'20 (20 more, --verbose lists them)'. It now reads '20 (--verbose lists
them)', and reading-reports.md quotes the run as it prints.
MiSTer and BizHawk declare cores: []. --region, --one-per-slot and
--no-game-data read the profiles of the cores a platform runs, so their
packs and manifests withdrew nothing under a name and README that said
they had. generate_pack and verify now refuse the flags for a named
platform and leave it out under --all.
dsi_bios7.bin and dsi_bios9.bin hold the DSi Panda devkit boot ROMs, eMMC
key-Y zeroed. Every md5 and crc32 declared under those names designates
a retail dump in the same directory, yet hashless entries (RetroBat,
dsperate) got the devkit ROMs by name. by_proven_name maps such a name to
the proven primaries beside it. kick13.rom, dsi_firmware.bin and
spectrum.zip follow the same rule.
Every signature carries annotations and nothing read them. mypy 1.18.2
over install.py and scripts/ reports 993 errors today, among them the
six pack helpers typed zipfile.ZipFile that every caller also hands a
PackRecord. The errors sit in mypy-baseline.txt and the schema job fails
on any error outside it, or on an entry that no longer occurs. Third-party
packages are left out so the result does not depend on the machine: 6 s
locally, run twice and on 3.12 and 3.13 with the same errors.
