Each standalone profile records where its version is read: the source
at its pin (clk 2026-07-23-136-g9020107, shadps4 0.20.1 WIP, eden
v0.2.0-401-g26a03d2), the APK, binary or archive read (kind package),
or, where no reading can be made, kind unverified with the reason: a
host the tools cannot read, a forge gone or not answering, no build
recorded as read, a pin on another branch. Those keep their value,
unconfirmed.
One run of profile_sync --all --rebase-refs --fresh. Every guard held:
no ref to review, no prose left under an older pin, no file name or hash
literal gained in a cited file since the pin, no built_by pin and no pin
keyed by build mode. The site's record of cited source paths is rebuilt
with them.
Same chain as the first pass: no ref to review, no file name or hash
literal added to a cited file since the pin, no profile a single
platform builds at a fixed commit, refs recaled with their pins, and the
written prose read again.
A disc image runs the configured System Card ROM and refuses to load
without one (mainloop/pce.rs:29-50). The default Arcade Card wants a
v3.0 ROM. Pin moved to d41e2d9, core_version 0.14.1 as Cargo.toml
already read at the old pin.
jgenesis picks it for GenesisRegion::Americas, md-emu for boot byte 0x7a, ares for an NTSC-U disc: one code for every disc of the Americas, Brazilian Tec Toy releases included. The three tagged it north-america alone, so --region brazil dropped the BIOS those discs need. genesis_plus_gx and picodrive already carried both.
Region tags must name the territory the code selects a file for. Each
entry tagged europe alone was read at its pin: PAL branches Australian
media reach now include oceania, and tags that follow a video standard,
a user setting or a hardcoded value are removed.
dinothawr's libretro.cpp became libretro.c and its refs already carried
the new line numbers, so the pin followed. groovymame cited a Batocera
package recipe and jgenesis a RetroBat generator, neither of which lives
in the tree each names; both read external now.
