LICENSE covered the whole repository, so the MIT grant read as
covering 9.9 GB of third-party firmware. It now states its scope and
NOTICE describes the files it does not cover, with a removal channel.
The FAQ cited Connectix and Accolade for redistribution when both
decided intermediate copying during reverse engineering, presented fair
use as settled, read section 1201(f) as a general permission, and
listed abandonware among legal doctrines. Each claim is now stated at
the strength it actually has, and the weakest ground is named.
The metadata behind the verifier, the pack builder and the site is now
served as static files: a versioned JSON API, CSV extracts, a SQLite
snapshot, and a catalog carrying a SHA-256 for each artifact.
The gaps dataset covers both layers behind a layer column. It previously
held one row, the single platform-verification anomaly, while the page
offering it as a download led with the emulator-level count.
source_ref renders as a permalink pinned to the revision the profile
cites. When a profile declares two repositories, a path that belongs to
neither by name is left as plain code: a citation without a link still
names the file and the lines, a link to the wrong repository does not.
The table filter, focus outlines and tap targets are progressive
enhancement; the pages work without them.
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).
9 new wiki pages: getting-started, faq, troubleshooting,
advanced-usage, verification-modes, adding-a-platform,
adding-a-scraper, testing-guide, release-process.
Updated architecture.md with mermaid diagrams, tools.md with
full pipeline and target/exporter sections, profiling.md with
missing fields, index.md with glossary and nav links.
Expanded CONTRIBUTING.md from stub to full contributor guide.
Filter .old.yml from load_emulator_profiles, generate_db alias
collection, and generate_readme counts. Fix BizHawk sha1 mode
in tools.md, fix RetroPie path, fix export_truth.py typos.
write_if_changed in common.py compares content after stripping
timestamps (generated_at, Auto-generated on, Generated on).
applied to generate_db, generate_readme, generate_site.
eliminates timestamp-only diffs in database.json, README.md,
mkdocs.yml, and 423 docs pages.
Group archived files by archive unit in find_undeclared_files instead
of reporting individual ROMs. Add path-based fallback for descriptive
names (e.g. "SeaBIOS (128 KB)" resolves via path: bios.bin). Update
_collect_extras to use archive name for pack resolution. Regenerate
database with new bios files. 6 new E2E tests covering archive
in_repo, missing archives, descriptive names, and pack extras.
- fix KeyError in compute_coverage (generate_readme, generate_site)
- fix comma-separated MD5 handling in generate_pack check_inside_zip
- fix _verify_file_hash to handle multi-MD5 for large files
- fix external downloads not tracked in seen_destinations/file_status
- fix tar path traversal in _is_safe_tar_member (refresh_data_dirs)
- fix predictable tmp path in download.py
- fix _sanitize_path to filter "." components
- remove blanket data_dir suppression in find_undeclared_files
- remove blanket data_dir suppression in cross_reference
- add status_counts to verify_platform return value
- add md5_composite cache for repeated ZIP hashing
- Extract compute_coverage to common.py (was duplicated)
- Filter test cores from nav and emulator index
- Use absolute URL for README download links
- Consistent page titles with site name suffix
- Safer mkdocs.yml nav rewrite with regex
- Build all_platform_names once in gap analysis
Critical: stream large file downloads (OOM fix), fix basename match
in auto_fetch, include hashes in pack grouping fingerprint, handle
not_in_zip status in verify, fix escaped quotes in batocera parser.
Important: deduplicate shared group includes, catch coreinfo network
errors, fix NODEDUP path component match, fix CI word splitting on
spaces, replace bare except Exception in 3 files.
Minor: argparse in list_platforms, specific exceptions in download.py.
