slots ended a mistyped --platform on a traceback; generate_truth,
refresh_data_dirs and auto_fetch exited 0 having done nothing for it.
All six now stop on require_platform before any work.
argparse completed a prefix into the only flag starting with it:
slots.py --emulator read profiles from a directory named after the
emulator and reported nothing, and pipeline.py --all built every pack
variant. Every parser now refuses an abbreviation.
An export wrote into its platform directory without removing what an
earlier run left there, so RetroPie scriptmodules and RetroDECK
manifests the current truth no longer corrects stayed beside a
report saying they were untouched. Files the run does not produce
are now removed first.
The export cache wrote an original's bytes, then recorded the URL
that produced them under a separate lock, so two runs wanting two
revisions of one file could pair one's bytes with the other's URL.
Both now change under the one index lock.
Batocera, ROCKNIX and Recalbox find a file through the core that wants
it. Additions now carry that core under the platform's own name: the
emulator/core pair checkBios reads (ROCKNIX's from its emulators
package), or Recalbox's core attribute. One with no nameable core, or
filed in a system gated on another core, is counted as not stated.
Loading the emulator profiles is the most expensive step of every
command here, and all forty call sites used the pure-Python scanner
while libyaml sat unused in the same wheel. One shared yaml_load picks
the C loader when pyyaml ships it: the 375 profiles parse in 0.18s
instead of 1.39s, and verify --platform retroarch drops from 2.17s to
0.73s. The loader class is the same restricted one safe_load uses.
es_bios.xml was parsed straight from the network while install.py
already refused a document declaring entities; both now share one
guard. Scrapers reach it through a single path bootstrap in the
package rather than two ad-hoc ones.
Run ruff check --fix: remove unused imports (F401), fix f-strings
without placeholders (F541), remove unused variables (F841), fix
duplicate dict key (F601).
Run isort --profile black: normalize import ordering across all files.
Run ruff format: apply consistent formatting (black-compatible) to
all 58 Python files.
3 intentional E402 remain (imports after require_yaml() must execute
after yaml is available).
