nethersx2-turnip-classic documents the shim rules of the revision it
pins, and says so in prose: the classic build is that revision. Compared
to HEAD it reported the same two changes every pass, and recaling would
have repointed its refs at rules this build never had.
pin_frozen says the freeze is deliberate, and the profile is then judged
against its own revision, exactly as one pinned to a superseded tag
already was. Recale and bump are refused for it, which is what makes the
declaration safe to trust.
Both refs pointed past the end of the file at the pinned revision: the
firmware and edat entries are registered at 1045 and 1052, which is
where install_firmware and install_edat are bound.
A recale rewrites the located tokens and leaves the sentence alone, so a
prose run keeps `a.c:228, 1439-1443` while the rendered form drops the
space. Comparing the two literally made a run that had just been written
look unwritten, pending_recale counted it, and bump_commit refused for
ever.
mariani was held back by three of them: it recaled twenty-five refs and
could never advance its pin, which is the desync the all-or-nothing rule
forbids. 67 refs, all anchored.
openbor.c is 55k lines at the pin and 57k at HEAD, over a ceiling of
40k, so its ref reported CHANGED with nothing to act on: the mapping was
never attempted. Diffing that pair takes nine seconds, and the fallback
only runs once exact anchoring has failed, which is rare.
The ceiling now sits above it and still stops a pathological pair from
stalling a sweep of every profile. savesettings moved from 2675 to 2940
and the range maps cleanly.
The BIOS search dropped the arcade and consoles subdirectories under
both the rom directory and system/fbneo. Seven places to put a BIOS ZIP
became four, and both profiles still documented the old list, which is
the kind of thing a user follows.
fbneo's gba_bios.bin also cited a line in the middle of a battery
allocation; its RomDesc entry, which carries the name and the crc32, is
at 538.
The pin moved with the recale, so twenty-eight romset refs stopped
naming the line declaring their set; mame_ref_audit moved them.
pegasus.zip cited the word ROM_START where a line number goes, which
resolves against nothing: its declaration is at 575.
KEmulator replaced the native amrdecoder with a pure Java port of
opencore-amr and says so in AMRDecoder.java: no platform specific binary
is shipped or loaded any more. The profile still asked for it under nine
names across four platforms.
hatari and scummvm cited a line just past the option they mean.
fluid.soundfont, the fake SDL switch, the mt32.romdir assignment: each
was cited a few lines past itself. future-pinball-fploader's PuPVideo
part carried no artefact, so it read as a path.
jaxe pointed at a libretro core-info file, lindbergh-loader at a
Batocera generator, oricutron at the ES-DE user guide. None is in the
tree each names.
Every part of its ref names a class from the shipped app, not a file in
the repository, and only the first carried the release label; the
continuations were looked up in the tree. race, xendroid, zesarux and
sdl2trs only needed their pin to catch up.
boytacean cited a line a hundred past the CGB boot selection and cap32 a
blank one after the bios directory is built. b2 carried the owner and
repository in front of its path, which matched two roms.cpp. crocods,
armsx2 and amiberry only needed their pin to catch up.
gopher2600 and gearsystem cited a blank line one past the fingerprint
comparison and the SG-1000 bootrom guard. fuse cited a glob, which
resolves against nothing: the two machines it means are named now.
gsplus, gopher64 and geolith carried refs from a newer tree than their
pin.
melonds_ds cited the bios9 load and the tool offered the bios7 line one
above it; the ref names bios9.bin, so it goes to 306. m2000's P2000.c
gained a serial-support branch inside the ROM patch loop. Pins moved
with the refs in all three.
