A source_ref written as `stella src/a.c:120` names the repository its lines are in. The path is read without the word, and --rebase-refs wrote the new span back without it, losing the attribution.
Notes, file notes and platform details carried file:line citations as plain text although profile_sync keeps each on the profile's pin. A citation now links when the profile reads one repository and the path is rooted or already used by a structured source_ref. Platform detail source_refs go through the same renderer as file cards.
The native refs move to the newest genuine Basic builds (GBA 2.3.20, GBC 4.1.14, SC 1.2.14), which add a save-state check of the BIOS area and new zip handling. The Pro releases the store announces circulate only rebuilt, so the Pro Java reading stays on the last genuine build and the release is named in no_genuine_copy.
The binary reads two optional settings, BootROM and CDBIOS, each a path the user picks. The retail Jaguar CD BIOS is recognised by a 64-bit FNV-1a of its first 16 KB, which the collected dump matches.
6.1.12 no longer bundles ROOT.chts and its seven cheat sets: the cheat browser reads the home folder, then unpacks Downloads/iNES-Cheats.zip. The seven sets are collected from the author-signed 6.1.4 package, each file covered by its signature. Controls.png and the backdrop pictures the app reads are documented.
A card named only the platforms whose own list declares the file. A RetroBat user looking up scph5501.bin found every platform but RetroBat, whose pack installs it for six cores. The cards now read the install manifests and add each pack that places the file, with the destination it gives it.
Platform pages matched emulators to systems by the exact id, so the RetroArch page listed none for sega-mega-drive (genesis_plus_gx says sega-megadrive), and listed every emulator of a system instead of those the platform runs. Emulator cards linked only ids a platform uses: 2,057 of 4,215 system lines had no link, now 327, the rest having no page. Ids are compared as _norm_system_id reads them, and a system only profiles name is placed by the files they file under it.
The release built and checked the RetroPie pack with two commands after the pipeline, which left it out of the verify and pack consistency check. pipeline.py --include-archived builds and checks it with the rest.
The pack table, its parts sentence and the install commands were typed by hand from figures release.json already held. A copied cell or an old collection total at the top is how issue 81 happened. release_notes.py renders them and appends the hand-written account of what changed.
PR validation runs validate_schemas.py --source-only and the pipeline did not, so a profile with an unquoted numeric core name passed every step and failed CI on push. It is step 0 now, skipped where jsonschema is not installed.
Linkboy 3.11.4 adds a cartridge logo check before the BIOS boot and a second built-in BIOS variant. My Boy! 2.1.1, My OldBoy! 2.0.3, FPse 13.0 and FPseNG 1.17 circulate only rebuilt: their profiles stay on the last genuine build and name the release.
Paid Android emulators announce versions that circulate only rebuilt or re-signed. The profile stays on the newest unmodified build, and version_source.no_genuine_copy names the release searched for, so check_freshness stops flagging it until the page announces a later one.
1024 bytes named scph5501.bin, a name every declaration sizes at 524288, were reported "File size OK" and offered a .variants slot at the repository root. The review now warns when no declaration of the name accepts the size, and places a variant beside the folder that holds the name.
Generating the model for every platform met the same two GameIndex.yaml declarations once per platform, and check_freshness opened on six identical warnings.
check_buildbot does not fail the run, yet the summary printed it FAILED right above Pipeline COMPLETE. It now prints WARN and a line saying the difference does not fail the run. The total is aligned under the step durations.
Offline, check_freshness labelled every scraped target list static and counted it OK although nothing was compared. Other sections say SKIPPED offline, and now this one does too.
A 2 GB part drew a 98-column line, and on an 80-column console every redraw wrapped and left a copy behind. The bar now shrinks to the width and goes below ten columns of room.
A copy refused by a read-only emulator folder raised the error count with no failures entry: the summary named no file, gave the BIOS folder as the location and no advice. The failure now carries its path, and the summary names the emulator folder and what to do.
--check counted the required files the list leaves out and named none, then said all files were up to date. A Recalbox user asking why Caesar III would not start learned nothing, though the list names c3.555. The count line no longer calls a file not found unsafe.
The live line divided every byte by the run's time, a partial copy left by an earlier run included, and showed a 3 GB resume as 2.5 GB/s with nothing left.
38 profiles published outside a forge now name the page that announces their releases, so profile_sync and check_freshness see a new version. EDuke32 and Fury take the synthesis build label as core_version, the name the project gives that build.
Scrapers resolve their tag or branch head in the constructor, which ran outside the try in scraper_cli: a refused GitHub call ended in a traceback. The error is now printed with the next step, setting GITHUB_TOKEN when the API refused an anonymous call.
The guides said files over 50 MB become release assets and that RPG Maker and ScummVM were the trees kept out of dedup. .gitignore decides the first, four committed files are over 50 MB, and NODEDUP_DIRS holds eleven trees.
generate_site --docs-dir sent the pages elsewhere but always rewrote the tracked mkdocs.yml, outside the lock taken on that folder, with the navigation of the work in progress. Two previews into two folders both wrote it. Another folder now gets <name>.mkdocs.yml beside it, docs_dir set and its paths rebased, which mkdocs builds with -f.
About forty profiles describe projects published outside any forge (Altirra, ePSXe, DraStic, mednafen, xroar). profile_sync skipped them as an unsupported host and check_freshness reported the same UNKNOWN line every run, so a new release adding a firmware went unseen. A profile can now name the page announcing its releases and a pattern for the version: --check-version reads it, and check_freshness --profiles calls the profile stale when the page announces another version than core_version.
SheepShaver opens ROM or Mac OS ROM, decodes a CHRP-BOOT image and requires a nanokernel ID it knows. By name its entry was served the 128 KB Apple IIGS ROM, which it rejects. Mac OS ROM 1.4 is taken byte for byte from the System Folder of Apple's iMac Software Restore CD 691-2313-A (archive.org, ISO sha1 as listed). Its LZSS payload decodes to 4 MB with the NewWorld nanokernel ID, and a size floor derived from the decoder keeps the IIGS ROM out.
The alias-free profile set was parsed separately from the full one, so a process asking for both read the 534 profiles twice, 1.6 s of a site build. It is now a filter over the full set.
A platform without hardware targets is now left out of a targeted --all run instead of being built unfiltered, and a run no platform can honour is refused.
With --all, an unknown --target skipped every platform that has targets and ran the others (BizHawk, MiSTer) unfiltered, so verify, slots and the pipeline exited 0 on a typo. A platform without targets is now left out like the rest, and a target no platform has is refused.
The pipeline rebuilds the database with --force, which discarded the previous digests and wrote whatever the CPU computed, on a host that has given an incorrect SHA-1 under load. The forced run still rehashes every file, but a digest that contradicts the cache for an unchanged mtime and size is computed again, and the two readings that agree win, with a warning naming the file.
Two test docstrings named the maintainer's private notes file, and nothing stopped it. They now state the rule itself, and test_prose_style fails on any tracked file that names the private notes or the assistant tooling.
scoop install retroarch puts retroarch.exe under ~\scoop\apps\retroarch\current, its system folder persisted through a junction. The Windows search covered the installers' folders, Program Files, Steam, ES-DE and the Store package only, so the run offered C:\RetroArch-Win64\system, a folder that RetroArch never opens. The user and global Scoop roots are searched now, %SCOOP% and %SCOOP_GLOBAL% included.
--list-systems, --list-cores and --list-targets read the manifest and write nothing, yet with --platform bizhawk they went through the portable-install refusal and stopped asking for --dest. Someone checking BizHawk's firmware before downloading BizHawk got an error. A listing now runs whether the platform is installed or not.
--standalone-copies named Linux and Windows folders for Azahar's aes_keys.txt and boot9.bin and Flycast's dc_boot.bin and dc_nvmem.bin, and nothing for macOS, where both emulators read a fixed folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Azahar/sysdata (common_paths.h:36,61) and ~/Library/Application Support/Flycast/data (osx-main.mm:83-101). A test now requires a macOS folder on every copy.
Basilisk II opens a file named ROM, checks its size, its version word and the code PatchROM rewrites, and no hash. By name the only candidate was the 128 KB Apple IIGS ROM, which the size gate rejects, so the pack shipped nothing. The collection's mac.rom (Performa/Quadra 630, version 0x067c) passes every gate, and the entry now names it as an alias. KEGS and GSplus keep the IIGS file.
DOSBox Pure builds every Sound Canvas companion name from the ROM1 file the user picks and reads the third wave ROM only for an SC-55 mk1 or CM-300 (midi_sc55.h:71-124). The profile put every model in the SC-55/ folder holding the mkII set, so WAVEROM3 could never be met. The mkII group stays there, and the v1.00 mk1 set the collection holds gets its own folder under the names the code builds from sc55_rom1.bin.
DSperate reads TWLFontTable.dat for DSiWare run without a NAND. The file sits in nand:/sys/ of the DSi NAND dumps the collection holds. Decrypted with the console ID and CID in each dump's nocash footer, as DSperate's own NAND reader does, the four western and Japanese consoles give one table, the Chinese and Korean ones their own: 863296, 581664 and 162688 bytes, the sizes and sha1 already known for them.
