core_probe writes record version 4. Each run is boots, bios_error, crash, hang or unknown, from reference frames, core error patterns and screens, and the process status. A crash or a timeout is a verdict now, rebuilt from the events the worker streamed. --vary accepts @zeros:SIZE and @head:SIZE:PATH, and run takes --repeat.
Record version 4 carries verdict and verdict_evidence on every repetition and variant, verdicts on a check result, and inputs.oracle. Version 3 records stay valid.
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.
Each line of measurements/<emulator>.jsonl now holds the whole run:
every repetition, core logs, per-frame hashes and raw timings. The gzip
data files, the data schema and the split and join code are gone, and
core_probe --record appends one line. record_version moves to 3.
The seven records are rewritten once: each new line equals its old line
joined with its data file, and rebuilds the first-layout file its id
hashes.
The site compiles the index and the SQLite files from measurements/
instead of a pinned clone. The pin, the sync script, the CI clone steps,
the freshness area and its refresh handler are gone. core_probe --record
writes into measurements/ of the checkout by default, and a test fails
when a line or data file HEAD holds changed or vanished.
A record is now one line of records/<emulator>.jsonl in the measurements repository, under 20 KB, and a gzip sidecar holding every repetition, the core logs and the raw timings, its sha256 in the line. record_version 2, core-probe-data.schema.json for the sidecar. core_probe --record appends to a measurements clone and refuses a directory inside this repository's tracked tree.
The seven records of issue 85 moved to Abdess/retrobios-measurements: each line plus its sidecar rebuilds the first file, and keeps its first id.
