Only verify.py and generate_pack.py moved to the repository root. From
any other folder slots, region_audit, provenance_report and bundled_only
said database.json was missing and to rebuild it, identity and
list_platforms named a missing folder, and game_rules ended on a
FileNotFoundError traceback. work_from_repo_root moves to common.py and
the eight tools call it: defaults are read from the root, a path the
user typed from where it was typed.
The games importers wrote through fixed .part names, the new options had
no help text, and romfolders stopped on the first setup the offline cache
lacked. RetroArch's rom folder map is regenerated from its source spec
(path null, as the schema says). The installer's Python 3.8 job imports
the games tests without pyyaml, so the region rules load lazily.
