Long messages scroll with their position, a small window says why the
questions come line by line, one bar rule per width, the folder a
config names sits under it and wraps whole, the help while typing a
filter lists what does not type, the plan names --core and --region,
pc finds the computer setups, rows keep sizes near their names, a
partial result counts once, a quit is said as one, the WSL browser
names drives by letter and No connection names the pack.
A full or read-only card is freed or unlocked, checked again first,
never left for another drive. Line mode names --dest where it said
choose another one, numbers out of range, the folder copied from, the
frontend's save directory and the command after Enter. The words name
RETROBIOS_INSTALL_OFFLINE when it, not --offline, made a run offline.
The installer knew BIOS files from game data and no count showed it.
The plan, the line menu and the result count them apart for a list that
marks game data, the plan gets a game data row and the menu a g key,
each toggling it in one press, and one sentence says what game data is.
A Termux run named /sdcard and /storage/emulated/0 for one storage, read
saves/<core> as a folder, split a backup path and the restore command
inside their words and named no folder for missing game data. Paths are
spelled as the BIOS folder was named, folders per core are said in
words, the result keeps paths and commands whole, and the game data line
names the folder it goes in.
Started with no job-control shell, a Ctrl-Z stopped the screen and its
launcher for good. The key now stops it only when its process group is
a shell's job, and the bar says why otherwise.
The MinUI family's lists record cores and regions and no system: every
narrowing was refused with a remedy that fetched the same list. Each
option is now refused by the axis missing, with what works, and a pack
names its platform's list only when that list records the axis. Line
mode names what c chooses and skips a question with one answer, and
Options leaves out parallel downloads when nothing is downloaded.
RetroArch's folder question numbered a Batocera SHARE drive and filled
its root. A drive is now offered by its own system's BIOS folder, one
nothing names by its bios folder, and another system's is left out and
named with the options that reach it. A list or pack card setups read
too opens on those setups, in both modes.
Pack and list paths with a control character are refused, the names a
list records, card labels, folders and events pass one filter, and a
folder a configuration names with one is not taken.
A KNULLI card renamed in its menu was read as a Batocera SHARE drive.
KNULLI is now named by about.info first, Batocera by its own hostname,
and a drive two systems fit is said instead of guessed. Runs without
questions see mounted cards as the screen does and stop on two setups.
The card marker table of the wiki is generated.
Ten core_probe runs of the beetle-saturn fix-mpeg-auth-cr2 branch, one
per commit: the Lunar opening movie (2400 frames) and the Big Buck Bunny
Video CD booting through the card's player. Issue 85.
A step marked github_token: true receives the token. autorun accepts the key only on check_freshness.py, refresh_stale.py and python -m scripts.scraper.* tracked in this repository, refuses it on any other step and in the campaign job. The nightly steps declare it.
The site tests read the SHARE drive label and the line-mode wording
from the source, and the pack-systems test needs generate_pack.py,
which needs Python 3.9.
The rules lived only in the local commit-msg hook, which CI and other clones do not have, so autorun could only check a subject's shape there. scripts/commit_rules.py now holds them, the hook calls it, and autorun checks every job subject with it when the job list loads.
A pack's system titles, names and ids are read only without control
characters, and the systems list and the same-choice line go through
screen_text. The --yes row of the option table says it implies
--no-input.
Written by campaign.py from its rule table: six upper-case .BIN names the core opened for scph5501.bin, and evidence for hle_fallback, with the record ids of measurements/beetle_psx.jsonl.
First real pass of campaign.py: the libretro PlayStation profiles with an hle_fallback claim (beetle_psx through mednafen_psx and mednafen_psx_hw, pcsx_rearmed and swanstation nightlies, pcsx1 built from its pinned commit), each run on Bust-A-Move 2 - Arcade Edition (USA) with and without scph5501.bin, under bubblewrap. Every core reached the game without the BIOS.
Answers code_audit_17 and tui_audit_10: the folder found after o, SHARE
drive roots, one same-choice command, a counted confirm step in line
mode, counts from the narrowed list, read-only advice without sudo,
systems recorded in packs, Ctrl-Z stopping the whole job, and the
wording, layout and docs items.
Host git only fetches into bare mirrors no sandbox ever sees, https only, with no user or system config and overrides emptying hooks, fsmonitor, ssh and proxy commands and every filter driver the mirror defines. Each build is a git archive of the commit and of each submodule commit from its own mirror. Old working-tree clones are deleted. The core copied out must be a regular file inside the build folder, opened without following links.
make runs on a git archive export of the commit and its submodules, the clone and its .git never bound into the sandbox. Host-side git runs with no user or system config, no hooks, no fsmonitor and the file and ext transports refused.
Without a working bubblewrap the pass is refused and nothing third-party runs, probes require the sandbox and builds are refused, unless --allow-unsandboxed is given. A job report holding an alert raises an autorun alert.
bwrap now binds only /usr, the /lib* and /bin links and the files of /etc the loader, fonts, TLS, the clock and user lookups read. Home, /tmp and /mnt are empty, the core, content and staged system directory read-only, the scratch folder the one writable path, every namespace unshared. --require-sandbox refuses to run without it. The worker imports nothing from the repository.
Values a run produced (core output, romfetch errors, profile names) are written as character references inside <code> or as plain text, so backticks, MDX braces and HTML stay text.
core_probe starts its worker with only the --env values, the worker clears its own environment before loading the core, and a working bubblewrap runs it with a read-only tree, no network and the user's credentials masked. The record names the isolation used. A timeout kills the whole process group. campaign.py starts core_probe, git, make and romfetch with the allowlist, make inside the same sandbox. --record refuses a folder that is not a checkout root.
Every step, gate and recomputation runs with an allowlisted environment (PATH, HOME, LANG, LC_*, TZ, TMPDIR and the variables its env: key names). Names holding TOKEN, SECRET or PASS are dropped and refused in the registry. Only the push and the gh calls that read CI get GITHUB_TOKEN.
With COMMAND_AUTH_DEVICE and COMMAND_GET_AUTH reading CR2, beetle_saturn 2ce77e2 authenticates the Video CD Card on Lunar - Silver Star Story MPEG: MPEG.AuthState is 02 with the HSS-0119 and the MK-80310 images, 00 with no file. The full machine state differs between two identical repetitions, the authentication state does not.
campaign.py takes buildbot nightlies (or a build of the pinned commit), the test content of tests/campaign/content.yml through romfetch, and runs core_probe for the files, boot, path, alias, variants and bench checks. A fixed rule table settles hle_fallback, required, path and aliases with the record ids as evidence, the rest goes to measurements/findings.jsonl. Resumable state, load, disk and budget guards, retries, content reference counting with an LRU cap, and an autorun job after the nightly.
The copy shipped first was the European MK-80310 Video CD card (its header reads VIDEO CD PLAYER PAL MK-80310, version 1.105). Lunar Silver Star Story MPEG, the Saturn game that needs a card, names the Movie Card, so the Japanese HSS-0119 (V1.102) now leads and the MK-80310 stays as a variant. No emulator tested reads the card's content today (records in measurements/beetle_saturn.jsonl), and no platform pins a hash for this file. Issue 85.
The runner carried its own copy of the refused vocabulary, which put those words in a tracked file. It now runs the commit-msg hook on each job's subject when the job list loads, and checks only the shape where no hook exists.
Runs the jobs of automation/jobs.yml under one host lock, with load and disk guards, one idle retry on a host misread, artifacts computed twice, explicit-path commits in .cache/autorun/worktree, an opt-in push (--push) and a CI circuit breaker. First jobs: nightly refresh chain, large-files asset dry run, disk cleanup and check, weekly bios integrity. install-timers writes systemd user units without enabling them.
Rehashes every file database.json names. A confirmed mismatch on a committed file git sees as unmodified is restored from its HEAD blob after the blob is checked, then hashed again. Gitignored files are flagged only.
Uploads the large-files assets check_release_assets reports out of date, only when the SHA-1 read twice equals database.json. Dry run by default, the release description is never edited.
Tracked form of the private worktree and tmp cleanup: busy, recent and modified worktrees are kept, branches stay, tmp/acquire and bundles stay, and an entry holding a worktree is left to the worktree rule. Exit 1 under --alert-gb free.
