verify replayed the builder's placement of core files with a bare name lookup, without the archive index, the data directories or the core's own choice of copy. It compared other bytes than the pack's (blueMSX's MSX2P.rom from bios/ against the data tree's copy) and let an unresolved file take a path the builder leaves free. ExtraResolver now holds the builder's lookup and both call it.
The builder never looks up a user_provided entry (it writes instructions in its place) nor an external one (fetched from its URL at build time). verify resolved both by name, so a same-named file in bios/ made it credit a file the pack does not carry.
On a hash platform the builder leaves out a file whose declared hash the local copy contradicts, but the README coverage added every UNTESTED file to the present count. RetroDECK read 2,008/2,008 for a pack carrying 2,007. verify now lists the destinations the builder refuses, and the coverage subtracts them.
Six platforms are read from a branch: System.dat, batocera-systems.json, checkBIOS.sh, the MiSTer BiosDB, the RetroPie scriptmodules and the RetroDECK component manifests. Their YAML named the branch, so the native export patched whatever the branch had become since the scrape. Each scraper now resolves the branch head once, reads every file at that commit and writes it into source. The export follows a recorded tarball and a recorded tree as it already followed a raw file URL.
17 TOSEC ZX Spectrum ROMs reported missing ship inside MAME's spectrum.zip from 0.190 to 0.289, while the collection holds only FBNeo's one-member archive of that name. provenance_report --missing and the site's wanted list now name the set, the member and the versions, matched by crc32 and size and by sha1 where both sides carry one.
verify kept its own copy of the placement rule and missed the flat RomM folder, so the report still counted 543 unreachable files as packed. It now asks the builder's ExtraPlacement. The README fraction counted every held core file, including those a platform cannot place or that a same-named packed file hides. It now counts what the pack holds.
RomM lists a platform's firmware folder without descending (base_handler.py:1002, recursive=False) and EmulatorJS writes the chosen file, or each zip member, under its bare name. 543 files of the RomM pack sat below a folder where no core could read them. The registry now marks RomM's folder flat, and such files are omitted with the reason below_platform_folder in the manifest and the installer.
RomM merges a nightly core map into the stable one when netplay is on, so it launches azahar, bsnes and genesis_plus_gx_wide, which the inherited EmulatorJS list left out. The scraper now reads both maps from the tagged frontend source and fails if either is missing. The cited mednafen_pce mapping is at index.ts:481-482 in 5.4.0.
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
No gradient banner, no coloured stripes or dots beside cards, no lifting cards, pill badges or small-caps headers. File blocks are separated by a rule, tables keep the theme's own size, and headings no longer repeat the site name the header bar already shows. Classes nothing emits were removed.
A note reworded around unchanged citations took the rewording commit as its writing revision. That commit's pin is current, so citations a bump had left behind stopped being reported. A sentence end now separates a project word from the citation before it, like a comma.
LRPS2 declares only <bios>.bin, so its emulator pack shipped no PS2 BIOS. The images in the folder another PS2 profile proves by hash, of the declared size, now take the placeholder's place in the pack and in verify.
BizHawk reads the Firmware folder next to EmuHawk wherever the archive was extracted. The installer looked in ~/.config/BizHawk/Firmware, which no build reads, and wrote there when nothing was found.
diff_truth matched by name with a rank, export_native by path, guarded name and hash: on current data each named files the other did not. Both now read one matcher, which also accepts aliases and sha256.
generate_db wrote a database without the aliases of a profile it could not read, and the MAME and FBNeo refreshes passed without it. Each now names the file and exits non-zero.
The site imported two parsing functions from profile_sync, so every change to the comparison tool redeployed an unchanged site. The grammar now lives in sourceref.py.
A comment after an entry swallowed the closing brace, so gba was rewritten with its emulator gate lost. The entry is now read with literal_eval, which also stops executing the platform's text.
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.
The scraper skipped RetroArch's own EmuScripts installer, so no libretro core's files reached the EmuDeck pack: np2kai, neocd and every core checkBIOS.sh does not name. RetroArch now stays in the list, as in RetroPie's.
GC/EUR/IPL.bin fell through to its bare name and the union of five regions, so a Batocera or standalone Dolphin pack never reduced it. The GameCube IPLs of four Dolphin-family profiles now name their system, as the MMJR profiles do.
The manifest resolved core files without the data directories: blueMSX's pack carried its own MSX2P.rom while the manifest named another dump for the installer.
