A required-only build is narrower than the platform declares by
design, like the source-restricted variants already handled, so the
full expectation must not be applied to it. --region is also refused
alongside --manifest-targets, which carries no region dimension.
A region- or target-filtered build wrote to the same filename as the
full one. Both filters now appear in the pack and manifest names, and
verify.py accepts --region for emulator and system reports so the
coverage figures come from the same selection the builder used.
A declared hash that the local dump contradicts is not one situation. An
existence platform never reads the bytes, so withholding the file lets an
upstream list error remove something the frontend would have loaded; a
hash platform would reject it, so shipping it is pointless.
The mode now decides, at every point that had an opinion: pack building,
core complement, emulator packs, manifests, conformance and
_intentional_hash_exclusion. verify.find_undeclared_files follows, since
verify and generate_pack must agree file for file.
Also here: resolution reports which evidence matched rather than a flat
"exact", a path or filename can no longer override a declared hash, and
safe_extract_zip treats a Windows backslash as the separator it is
instead of refusing the archive.
generate_db: add by_sha256 index for O(1) variant lookup.
verify: _find_best_variant uses indexed sha256 instead of O(n) scan.
validation: check_file_validation returns (reason, emulators) tuple,
attributing mismatch only to emulators whose check actually failed.
beetle_psx: remove incorrect size field for ps1_rom.bin (code does
not validate size, swanstation is sole size authority).
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).
sparse clone upstream repos, parse BIOS root sets from C source,
cache as JSON, merge into emulator profiles with backup.
covers macro expansion, version detection, subset profile protection.
bios_mode: agnostic (profile) and agnostic: true (file) for
emulators that accept any valid BIOS without specific filename.
find_undeclared_files skips agnostic entries, pack extras scan
includes all matching DB files by path prefix + size criteria,
resolve_local_file has agnostic fallback with rename README.
applied to pcsx2, lrps2 (bios_mode), melonds dsi_nand (file).
expand_platform_declared_names resolves platform file MD5s
through the database to recover canonical names and aliases,
eliminating false positive undeclared files when a platform
renames a file (e.g. Batocera ROM1 vs gsplus ROM).
Add many MAME/MESS BIOS entries (TRS-80 family, Bandai RX-78, Sega AI) and update docs/navigation counts (README, mkdocs). Remove empty supplemental file references from database.json and update generated timestamps and totals. Harden and refactor tooling: add MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE limited reader in base_scraper, make target scrapers an abstract base, narrow exception handling in the Batocera targets parser, and switch generate_pack.py and verify.py to use build_target_cores_cache (simplifies target config loading and error handling). verify.py also loads supplemental cross-reference names and accepts them through verify_platform. Update tests to import from updated modules (validation/truth). Misc: small bugfix for case-insensitive path conflict check.
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.
