The RetroArch list is folded for Windows and macOS. Its manifest
now carries the names a case-keeping directory also needs, and the
installer adds them after probing the BIOS directory.
The sitemap gave every page the build date. A page now states its own date
and a mkdocs hook passes it on, or leaves lastmod out. The values added to
the site's code spans today are also escaped: a backtick in a profile or
file name could close the span and inject markup.
A null upstream, version or detail is a stated fact. It now reads as
none, and a null upstream shows the project's own source. The site's
exclusion of local working notes no longer names the tool writing them.
Fifty options appeared in no page. fileless_audit also gains --all, so
its example sweeps instead of naming three settled profiles, and it and
download.py --info now fail on an unknown name or an unreachable source.
The documented example looked up a test fixture hash, printed NOT FOUND
and exited 0. The docs now use a hash the database holds and say which
line forms a hash file accepts.
profile_sync --strict exits 1 when a profile has refs to review. The
validation workflow runs it on every profile a pull request or a push to
main adds, so a profile whose refs miss their value no longer lands green.
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.
auto_fetch stopped on any profile listing several accepted hashes,
and filed a fetched file in the first folder sharing one word of its
system, overwriting a same-named revision held there. Hash fields are
read as sets, a folder must match the whole system slug, and another
revision goes to .variants/ beside the file already held.
The EmuDeck pack README promised standalone keys set up
automatically, which needs --standalone-copies, and named a Citra
folder the installer never uses. The RetroArch README gave Windows
users a shell command only, and RetroPie's sent a PC to a Linux
partition it cannot open. Each guide now matches the installer.
The deterministic rebuild raises on a member whose bytes fail their
CRC, and the builder caught it and copied the damaged archive into
the pack, expecting verify to flag it, which nothing did. The run now
stops on it and names the file to restore.
The registry names one path per standalone copy for every platform,
but each manifest places the file its own way, so the installer
looked where the pack had put nothing and copied nothing: EmuDeck's
aes_keys.txt for Azahar, Batocera's switch/prod.keys. Each manifest
copy now names its source, which the installer validates and reads.
The documented command, discover tests, makes tests/ the top level,
so tests/__init__.py never ran and the variable it sets to keep tests
offline was missing from every local run. Every documented and CI
run now passes -s tests -t ., and a test requires it.
A test isolated the extra collection by patching
resolve_platform_cores on packextras with create=True, while the
module imported it inside the function, so the real resolver ran.
The import is now module level, the test checks its stub was called,
and no test may create the attribute it patches.
Six of the eight shared groups injected nothing: three were
included by no platform, three repeated System.dat entry for entry,
so a correction made in them reached no pack. They are removed with
their scraper wiring, and a test requires every remaining group to
contribute an entry somewhere.
Packs were opened on their final name, so a rebuild truncated the
previous one and a build that failed half way left a readable ZIP
of part of the files. Each pack is now written beside its name and
replaces it only when the write finished.
The doubled-path tests import validate_schemas, which needs
jsonschema; without it the suite erred instead of skipping, which
the optional dependency check refuses.
generate_pack split --platform on commas to validate it, then used
the whole string as one platform and crashed. Every script takes a
single platform; a list is refused with a message pointing at --all.
verify accepted --verbose beside --json and dropped it in every
mode, so the output was the same with or without it. The JSON now
lists every entry with its ground truth under --verbose.
A comment named the Bluetooth directory twice, a path no revision
holds, and every firmware ref sat ten lines above the case it meant.
Each now cites its case and return at the pinned commit. The schema
check reads profiles as text and refuses a citation that repeats
its own directories.
