Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
LRPS2 declares only <bios>.bin, so its emulator pack shipped no PS2 BIOS. The images in the folder another PS2 profile proves by hash, of the declared size, now take the placeholder's place in the pack and in verify.
Batocera, RetroBat, Recalbox and ROCKNIX offer some emulators both as a
libretro core and standalone. Filed as standalone only, the libretro
layout was dropped: libretro Dolphin had no dolphin-emu/Sys/GC files.
Platforms now name dual-mode emulators and each gets both layouts.
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.
Emulator mode reduced region groups without knowing which files the
collection holds, so a requested-region image nobody had collected
withdrew the held one and left the slot empty. Platform mode already
kept it; both emulator readers now pass the database.
The platform's files and the core extras for the Master System sat
in two region groups, sega-master-system and sega-mastersystem,
reduced apart. A US pack kept the declared Japanese BIOS. A core
extra's system group now takes the platform's spelling, in the pack,
the report and the installer's manifest fields alike.
The name step only ranked archive copies by members declared
through archive sub-entries, and the contents an archive entry lists
never reached the resolver, so the first copy indexed won. contents
now ranks copies by crc32, or by member name where the code opens
by name, and the report and both extra passes carry it. With no
layout declared, a primary holding every ROM of the others wins;
two revisions keep the index order.
Region filtering ranked every declared file, held or not, so a request
answered only by a missing file dropped the held fallback and emptied
the slot. Only held files now decide what gives way; the missing better
match stays reported.
In existence mode the builder packs a core's file at a destination the
platform declares and does not hold, and counts the declaration met.
verify now reads the same placement and reports it OK, so both sides
agree on the platform's count.
hypseus-singe asks for gamecontrollerdb.txt by name alone and, first
in profile order, took the BIOS root of Batocera, RetroBat and
RetroPie with C-Dogs' small table while Solarus pins its own by sha1.
A destination two cores claim now goes to the one naming its content.
