A file that arrives with the emulator is already on the user's machine
and the packs leave it out. 4558 collected copies (1.4 GB) were reached
only by such entries, with no platform, other profile entry or install
manifest needing them. They are removed, and two release-asset copies
leave the ignore list. bundled_only.py now lists every copy of a listed
file, since the database keeps one path per content, and pipeline step
4d fails while one remains.
336 entries for files that arrive with the emulator named no hash, so
the collected copy was the only record of which file the release
ships. Each now carries the sha1 and size of the copy collected from
that emulator's own release, so the profile keeps the file's identity
once the copy leaves the collection. Entries whose name is a pattern
keep no hash.
Every bundled flag was checked against the release or the build recipe of the build that reads the file. A libretro core zip holds the core alone: fMSX, Nuance, ep128emu and PCEE2 files the source tree carries are no longer bundled, and blueMSX, ARMSX2, YAPS2, Cemu and Jazz2 entries are split per build. Files the release ships and the profile missed are now bundled (POM2, ZQuest Classic, EmuCoreX, Linux Loader). Platform packages that differ are named: Batocera installs hcl and Hurrican without their data, ROCKNIX ships touchHLE's Liberation Sans fonts only, Batocera and RetroPie install blueMSX's machines beside the core.
The five native libraries the reprofile added, and the assets and libraries whose copies dated from 1.8.2-open, now come from the official build of 752b93a (release continuous, CI run 39297510978, signing certificate de1bd54d as on 1.8.2). Assets match the repository blobs byte for byte. The profile carries their hashes, and the bundled-identity table now records each fall exactly.
