CitraDirectory.start picks getExternalFilesDir on Android 10 and later without legacy storage, and the manifest at the pin does not request legacy storage; the shared-storage root is the pre-Android 10 path, not a per-variant one.
Read from the Wayback copy of latest.zip whose comment names f2a9d723; its path_util.cpp, CMakeLists.txt and key_manager.cpp carry the lines the profile already cites.
--declared-only keeps the entries the platform's own list declares
(cores: null), each slot settled to the platform's copy with no core
alternative left behind. Install, --check, --dry-run, --events,
--list-systems, --system, --region, --emulator, --target,
--installed-cores, --manifest and --from-pack apply it. --core,
--list-cores, --list-emulators, --list-platforms, --list-targets,
--standalone-copies, --restore and --tui refuse it, and the interface
does not open by itself with it. On Batocera it gives 353 files of
14531, the list batocera-systems checks.
Event decision: no schema bump. A `declared` key on `file` would add a
key to an existing kind, which schema 1 forbids. A new kind, `declared`,
follows `check` with the same counts over the platform's own files and
their dests in file-event order. Readers already skip a kind they do
not know (rbevents.py and the interface reader were checked), so
EVENT_SCHEMA stays 1.
An unknown --system is answered with the systems the list files its
key file under: --platform retroarch --system snk-neogeo now suggests
arcade, which holds neogeo.zip, instead of snk-neogeo-cd. neogeo, mvs
and aes follow the same route. Never taken, only suggested. A system
title the manifest carries (SNK Neo Geo CD) is taken for its id when
no other system shares it and no platform name reads the same.
schemas/install-events.schema.json is written from EVENT_KEYS by
scripts/generate_event_schema.py. validate_schemas.py reports a stale
file, and tests compare it with EVENT_KEYS and validate a real run.
Bootstrap pins recomputed.
Inline code of 30 characters or fewer is marked rb-short at build time and the options table rb-options. The search UI loads on first use. Title, crumbs and footer leave the search index, and consoles and terms weigh as a title.
The lookup reads every hash of a matched file, so its MD5, SHA1, CRC32 and SHA256 give one answer. The OS tabs open on the visitor's system unless a choice is saved, and the sidebar shows the current page.
Every launcher exports RETROBIOS_PAD: gptokeyb, muxterm, evmapy or
miyoo, so the interface can name the buttons that reach it. The wiki
lists the values, and the tests check each launcher's.
