The page named the entries a change touched and never the values, so
a maintainer could not check a correction. The report now carries
changes, one object per change with kind, entry, field, old and new,
read from the platform entry and from the value the render writes
(written() per format: record value for System.dat and RomM, one md5
where a single one is checked). The existing label lists are derived
from it. The page writes "md5 X becomes Y" and names each required
flag with its new value. A test parses the original and updated
System.dat and es_bios.xml and checks the list equals the diff.
write_text translated line ends on Windows, so FirmwareDatabase.cs's
CRLF would have come out CR CR LF; it replaced the published file in
place, so a run stopped mid-write left it truncated; and it dropped the
mode, while rocknix-systems is 100755 in ROCKNIX's tree. Files are
written atomically as UTF-8 bytes, and an exporter states the mode of
any file the platform does not publish as 0644.
System.dat, RomM, Recalbox and RetroBat were rebuilt from our data when
their file was not cached: libretro's quoted names, Recalbox's comments
and one of its two zxspectrum blocks were lost, and the run said OK.
needs_original now follows native_sources, so every format we patch
fails without the file it patches and writes nothing.
RomM kept hashes the truth contradicts beside the corrected one, RetroDECK kept a cleared md5, Recalbox counted changes on an element it writes back whole, and two record formats counted fills no record could hold.
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.
Run ruff check --fix: remove unused imports (F401), fix f-strings
without placeholders (F541), remove unused variables (F841), fix
duplicate dict key (F601).
Run isort --profile black: normalize import ordering across all files.
Run ruff format: apply consistent formatting (black-compatible) to
all 58 Python files.
3 intentional E402 remain (imports after require_yaml() must execute
after yaml is available).
