Region filtering ranked every declared file, held or not, so a request
answered only by a missing file dropped the held fallback and emptied
the slot. Only held files now decide what gives way; the missing better
match stays reported.
Dolphin files the Australian country code under Region::PAL, whose
IPL lives in GC/EUR. Tagged europe alone, --region australia dropped
it and kept the American IPL, which Dolphin never reads for those
discs.
The builder and the coverage report each grouped their own candidates
before asking which regional alternatives to withdraw. The builder
grouped the platform files and the core extras; the report grouped the
platform files alone, and keyed them on an unsanitized destination.
So a region run withdrew 73 files from a recalbox pack while the report
withdrew 14, and described the other 59 as covered by a pack that would
not carry them.
platform_region_groups builds the grouping once and both sides read it.
The extras it returns are keyed by emulator, name and path: Dolphin
declares three IPL.bin that differ by path alone, and a name-keyed map
withdraws the wrong one. Manifests are byte-identical before and after.
