Refs were bare string addresses. They now name the functions in the
r2.5.2.0 binary that build, open and size check each file, matched to
the r2.5.2.2 symbol names. Eight files the binary loads gain entries:
microphone, Lua scripts, cheats, slot-2 GBA, DLDI image and logos.
ArkOS ran the GBA with gpsp_ezode_mod and dArkOS with mgba_rumble: no
profile named them, so an install for the card's games kept every GBA
core's files, FBNeo's 3,472 data files among them. Each rename proven
from the OS build (same code base, same BIOS loading) joins its
profile's cores. The resolver folds either separator, and falls back to
the emulator column when the core names a mode, a machine or a plugin
of that program, only where its profile declares the folder's system:
MAME documents no GameKing ROM. 109 unresolved names are 56, each one
recorded with why in tests/test_games_index.py.
pin_frozen was prose, and no tool read the build file it cites, so a platform building another revision left the profile holding one nobody ships. pin_build records the platform, its repository, the revision read, the file, the variable and its value. check_freshness reads the file again where the platform's YAML now stands and reports STALE when the value moved. 36 of the 46 held profiles carry it, each value read from the build file at the platform's scraped revision. The other ten name no build file and are counted on one row: six RetroBat binary packages and four holds not tied to a platform build.
Each standalone profile records where its version is read: the source
at its pin (clk 2026-07-23-136-g9020107, shadps4 0.20.1 WIP, eden
v0.2.0-401-g26a03d2), the APK, binary or archive read (kind package),
or, where no reading can be made, kind unverified with the reason: a
host the tools cannot read, a forge gone or not answering, no build
recorded as read, a pin on another branch. Those keep their value,
unconfirmed.
supertux runs only on EmuELEC, which builds 37cddf24 (v0.6.3), and
advanced_drastic only on KNULLI, which builds eaf41ab. Both pins stay on
those builds.
