RetroPie was the only platform with status: archived, which kept it out
of verify --all, slots, the pipeline and list_platforms unless
--include-archived was typed. release_pack already decides which packs a
release publishes and the installer serves every platform, so the status
set nothing apart. The field, its schema entry and the flag are gone, and
RetroPie is covered by every full run like any other platform.
generate_emulator_pack resolves with offline=offline and fetches a release asset the cache lacks, while verify_emulator resolved offline and called it missing. verify --emulator now applies pending_release_asset as verify --platform does, accepts --offline, and the pipeline compares emulator packs offline on both sides.
verify resolved offline, so a release asset absent from bios/ and the
cache read as missing while an online build fetched and packed it. verify
now reads the database record of the registered path and counts such a
declaration present, listed as fetched at build time. --offline keeps the
old count, and the offline pipeline passes it to its verify step.
