The CI runner sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME to its own home, and the installer
now reads it as RetroArch does. Tests that fake HOME then found the
runner's RetroArch folders. The suite clears the three XDG variables
it reads, and a test that exercises one sets it itself.
264 TemporaryDirectory() and mkdtemp() calls without dir= wrote to the
/tmp tmpfs, and a full tmpfs failed modules no change touched. The test
package now points tempfile and TMPDIR at tmp/tests, and sets
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES there so git run in a scratch directory does
not find the checkout above it. The package test asserts both.
--for-games reads the card's rom folders through install/games/ and keeps
what the games need: per system what its default core reads, one region
where the content proves it (crc32 and size, a disc serial, a header the
core reads), an arcade set's BIOS parents. A game not recognised gets
every BIOS of its system and is named. --required-only keeps only what
starts. The plan and the line menu open on it when the card holds games,
everything one press away. A cache keeps what reading a card found.
core_probe takes probe.lock itself around one execution, load check included, and releases it when the run ends. A campaign pass never holds it between runs, so two passes interleave. RETROBIOS_PROBE_LOCK names another file, RETROBIOS_PROBE_LOCK_HELD says the caller holds it. Tests use their own lock file.
Most modules write under tmp/, which a fresh clone lacks, and only three
created it on import. A module run alone failed with FileNotFoundError on
a temporary directory.
Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms.
validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.
