The name step only ranked archive copies by members declared
through archive sub-entries, and the contents an archive entry lists
never reached the resolver, so the first copy indexed won. contents
now ranks copies by crc32, or by member name where the code opens
by name, and the report and both extra passes carry it. With no
layout declared, a primary holding every ROM of the others wins;
two revisions keep the index order.
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.
In existence mode the builder packs a core's file at a destination the
platform declares and does not hold, and counts the declaration met.
verify now reads the same placement and reports it OK, so both sides
agree on the platform's count.
hypseus-singe asks for gamecontrollerdb.txt by name alone and, first
in profile order, took the BIOS root of Batocera, RetroBat and
RetroPie with C-Dogs' small table while Solarus pins its own by sha1.
A destination two cores claim now goes to the one naming its content.
The markdown report wrote to a directory named after the tooling that
happened to produce it. It takes --report-dir now, defaulting to
reports/, so nothing in the tree names anything but the project.
Em-dashes replaced throughout the sources and tests, rephrased rather
than swapped for a comma where the dash carried an apposition.
_collect_emulator_extras ran three passes in one body: the undeclared
files a platform's cores need, a second copy of an archive under the
subdirectory some cores read, and the scan a filename-agnostic core
allows. The last two are named now, complexity 98 to 54.
The archive-prefix pass had no test, and extracting it surfaced why that
mattered: it read an index from the enclosing scope, so on its own it
would have raised. Three tests cover it, including the case it exists to
prevent - claiming a prefixed path for an archive the collection does
not hold.
generate_pack.py held six responsibilities in 4744 lines. Five move out
in dependency order, so nothing above reaches back down: destinations,
core extras, resolution with its storage tiers, the notes shipped inside
a pack, and the pack verifier. generate_pack.py keeps the build and the
command line, and re-exports the rest.
Two things the move surfaced. The offline switch was a module global the
command line assigned, which a re-export would have copied and frozen at
False; it is set through a call now and not re-exported. And a facade
placed after the entry point binds too late: importing the module worked,
running it did not, so the manifest run died on a name the tests never
exercised because tests import.
Verified against the previous revision on frozen inputs: every generated
artefact is identical, save the catalogue that embeds hashes of files
carrying a build timestamp.
