check_release reports a launcher in the checksum list as unrecorded and
one attached as extra, as it does for install.py. The release steps no
longer run build_port, and the checksum and upload globs name the packs
(*_BIOS_Pack*.zip) so a launcher left in dist/ is never caught.
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.
The pack suffix test of b20d65d12 missed the platform --system packs, which carry their system after it (_BIOS_Pack_Playstation.zip): their manifest was no longer injected and install.py refused them. A pack name holds _BIOS_Pack, then an optional tag, then .zip.
verify_and_finalize_packs took every ZIP of the directory, so the launcher archives build_port.py writes to the same dist/ were judged as packs, failed, and were rewritten with a manifest after build_port had printed their hashes. Every name the builder gives ends in _BIOS_Pack.zip, and only those are taken.
The redesign moved the technical questions to technical-faq.md, made the Get your files rows generated from each platform key and reduced getting-started.md to links. Tests now read those places: the pack-row test reads the rendered page. The new site scripts go through run_cli and refuse abbreviated options. The three maintenance image tools are exempt by name from the build dependency rule: their output is committed and the build only reads it. siteguides.py now triggers the site deploy, and the recipe counts match the store.
Troubleshooting, the FAQ and the download page sent people who only ran
the installer to verify.py, which reads the repository, not their BIOS
folder. Download links now name the exact asset of the recorded release,
the --dest example names the BIOS folder on the card, the slice layout
left with the last release that used it, and the shown verify output is
what the tool prints.
