post-generation verification: reopen each ZIP, hash every file,
check against database.json. inject manifest.json inside each pack
(self-documenting: path, sha1, md5, size, status per file).
generate SHA256SUMS.txt alongside packs for download verification.
validation index now uses sets for hashes and sizes to support
multiple valid ROM versions (MT-32 v1.04-v2.07, CM-32L variants).
69 tests pass, pipeline complete.
adler32 hash via zlib.adler32(), min_size/max_size range checks,
signature/crypto tracked as non-reproducible (console-specific keys).
compute_hashes now returns adler32. 69 tests pass including 3 new
tests for adler32, size ranges, and crypto tracking.
add --emulator, --system, --standalone, --list-emulators, --list-systems
to verify.py and generate_pack.py. packs are RTU with data directories,
regional BIOS variants, and archive support.
validation: field per file (size, crc32, md5, sha1) with conflict
detection. by_path_suffix index in database.json for regional variant
resolution via dest_hint. restructure GameCube IPL to regional subdirs.
66 E2E tests, full pipeline verified.
resolve_platform_cores() links platforms to their cores via
three strategies: all_libretro, explicit list, system ID
fallback. Pack generation always includes core requirements
beyond platform baseline. Case-insensitive dedup prevents
conflicts on Windows/macOS. Data dir strip_components fixes
doubled paths for Dolphin and PPSSPP caches.
- fix KeyError in compute_coverage (generate_readme, generate_site)
- fix comma-separated MD5 handling in generate_pack check_inside_zip
- fix _verify_file_hash to handle multi-MD5 for large files
- fix external downloads not tracked in seen_destinations/file_status
- fix tar path traversal in _is_safe_tar_member (refresh_data_dirs)
- fix predictable tmp path in download.py
- fix _sanitize_path to filter "." components
- remove blanket data_dir suppression in find_undeclared_files
- remove blanket data_dir suppression in cross_reference
- add status_counts to verify_platform return value
- add md5_composite cache for repeated ZIP hashing
Added hle_fallback: true/false per file in emulator profiles.
When a core has HLE and the file is missing, severity downgrades
to INFO instead of CRITICAL — core works without it.
verify.py builds an HLE index from emulator profiles and applies
it during severity computation. Cross-reference now skips launcher
profiles (type: launcher) and includes hle_fallback in undeclared
file reports.
33 E2E tests (4 new: HLE severity, HLE index, launcher skip,
cross-ref HLE). 0 regressions.
Based on source code analysis:
- RetroArch core_info.c:2233 — existence check only, no blocking
- PCSX ReARMed psxbios.c:28 — full HLE BIOS replacement
- Dolphin CommonPaths.h — all files optional with HLE
- snes9x — DSP HLE built-in, coprocessor files optional
Removed 7 test files (135 tests) fully covered by test_e2e.py.
The E2E creates all fixtures in setUp, exercises every code path
with real files and real functions. Single source of regression.
17 new tests covering remaining scenarios:
- md5_composite: manual calc, dirs excluded, compression-independent,
used in resolve_local_file
- storage tiers: external, user_provided, embedded, fetch_large_file
with cache hit and hash rejection
- data_directories: suppress cross-ref gaps when matched, show gaps
when unmatched
- shared groups: _shared.yml includes injection, empty group safe
- YAML inheritance: systems inherited, verification_mode override
- platform grouping: identical merged, different base_dest separated
