KNULLI builds amiberry from Batocera's package through its batocera
submodule: the reference now names knulli-linux at 20260511, the tag
platforms/knulli.yml is read at, and the package file below the
submodule. check_freshness follows a path .gitmodules declares to the
commit the tree pins, which reads AMIBERRY_VERSION = v7.1.0 there.
RetroBat pins amiberry 8.3.0.0 only in emulators/versions.xml on its
download server, read by emulatorLauncher/Installer.cs. No repository
holds it, so amiberry-8.3.0 keeps pin_frozen, which says so, and no
pin_build.
tests/__init__.py keeps a run offline, its scratch under tmp/ and its
installer cache its own, but only discover -s tests -t . imported it.
discover tests ran with RETROBIOS_OFFLINE unset, scratch on the /tmp
tmpfs and the user's real installer cache, the setting in which e2e
fixtures had written into the shared .cache/large. Every test module now
imports the package first, and a test fails on a module that does not.
test_verify_listing.py took its line with the previous commit.
pin_frozen was prose, and no tool read the build file it cites, so a platform building another revision left the profile holding one nobody ships. pin_build records the platform, its repository, the revision read, the file, the variable and its value. check_freshness reads the file again where the platform's YAML now stands and reports STALE when the value moved. 36 of the 46 held profiles carry it, each value read from the build file at the platform's scraped revision. The other ten name no build file and are counted on one row: six RetroBat binary packages and four holds not tied to a platform build.
