check_crypto_validation keeps its answer keyed by the file and keys file as compute_hashes keys them (path, inode, size, mtime, ctime). verify --all ran the verifiers 35 times for 5 files (0.88 s), now 5 times (0.13 s). verify --all --json output is byte-identical.
164 entries wore the in repo badge with no copy named: they are held as
a ZIP member or in a data directory, which the database does not index.
held_copy() finds that copy and the card names it. storage: large_file
no longer counts as held by itself: kenji-nx's user-picked firmware
package read as held although nothing collects it.
verify_content read sha1 then md5 only, so an entry pinned by sha256 or
crc32 could be searched and never accepted, and one without any hash was
announced as searched. The strongest declared hash now decides, crc32
counts with its size, the database lookup reads sha256 and crc32, and an
entry with nothing to prove a download by is reported, not searched.
The second pass, the archive-prefix pass and the agnostic scan built
extras without source_name or source_path, so verify found no gap report
entry for them and counted game data such as hiscore.dat as core files.
Every extra now carries its entry's category and key, and verify reads
the category from the extra the builder places.
Equal files have equal sizes, and the scan only uses the sha1. Files alone at their size are no longer read and the rest get one digest instead of five. Same 278 groups (645 paths), same dry-run output, 36.7 s to 1.9 s.
load_target_config raised out of cross_reference.py as a traceback. The hint now names the full verify.py command, since cross_reference and slots have no --list-targets.
download.py authenticated its release lookup and download.sh did not, so
past the anonymous quota the shell twin failed with 403. The header goes
to api.github.com only and is read from stdin, out of the process list.
check_freshness exited 0 when no upstream answered. An unknown row now
holds the exit code, and a profile skipped by nature is reported skipped
so it does not hold it forever. --only names the valid areas, a stale
native row names its platform, and the summary names refresh_stale.py.
The summary in exports/<platform>.json read '82 hashes corrected' and '854 additions left out'. It now counts what the written file carries, in the exports page's terms (hashes updated to the emulator source, required flags aligned with the code). Files the format cannot carry, withheld updates and content-found labels are printed on a line of their own and stay in the report's counts.
The manifest now carries system_names, each system's native_system names from the platform's own file, and --system, its suggestions and --list-systems read them: --platform batocera --system psx installs sony-playstation.
refresh_stale ran a parent's rescrape and its children's truth and
export jobs side by side, so a child read the parent mid-rewrite. A job
now starts once the rescrapes of its ancestors have ended, and a child
no row names gets its export rewritten after them. A rescrape chain ends
on verify.py --platform, whose summary closes the report.
download_external stayed in generate_pack, outside the offline switch: it fetched under --offline, wrote to the system /tmp and held the body in memory. It now lives in packresolve, honours the switch, streams into the repository tmp/ and hashes on the way.
verify --emulator listed only OK destinations, while the emulator pack
also writes a copy whose hash the profile contradicts, loose or archive.
pack_destinations now records the paths the replay places, and both
branches resolve through packresolve.resolve_file as the pack does.
When two cores declare different values for one file, the truth keeps the first and marks the entry hash_conflict. Its hashes pair an entry and never replace the platform's: armsx2's GameIndex.yaml no longer overwrites System.dat's line for LRPS2.
Bios::Scan takes Zip::Md5Composite for every .zip (Bios.cpp:64-68). The resolver already honoured zip_digest: composite, but digest_verdict accepted the container's own md5 first, so the pack check passed bytes Recalbox marks red. The page described that order.
Step 1b read 18 924 held files and members for 7 407 distinct contents and ran every transform on each read. A content already transformed is now skipped (the first path still keeps the match), the power-of-two crc shift operators are squared once for the pass instead of once per length, and a group pairs members by the sizes it holds. derivable.json and the step output are byte-identical, 33.4 s to 25.1 s.
export_native and cross_reference read data/ without the shared hold, so
a refresh could swap a tree mid-walk. hold_data_dirs skipped a cache not
yet on disk, so a refresh could install it between verify and the packs
of one pipeline run. Both now hold every registered tree.
BizHawk is both a platform and a profile display name: --from-md5 with --platform bizhawk and with --emulator bizhawk wrote one file in two layouts. The emulator mode now carries _Emulator in the name.
FileConsumers resolved platform declarations with their destination as
a hint, which the builder, the manifest and verify never pass. RetroBat's
63 mame/hash lists and the curated gc-ntsc-12.bin credited another copy
than the one the manifests install.
verify resolved platform entries with common.resolve_local_file and put
the slot override first, and the region pass added a destination hint.
packresolve.resolve_declaration now serves the builder, the manifest,
verify and the region pass: release assets cached for a file absent from
bios/ count as shipped in all four, and a release asset keeps its answer
over a slot override.
The refusal tables compared each flag with its default value, so --source full and --group-by system passed beside the modes that refuse every other value. Both now default to None and take their effective value after the checks, in generate_pack and pipeline.
The FBNeo import recorded the listing's blob sha for bytes fetched from a
branch URL a CDN caches, and --fetch <revision> still read the tip. The
revision is now resolved to a commit, listed and downloaded there, each
DAT is held against its blob sha, and a DAT read at a named revision is
labelled with it without replacing the tip's recorded blobs.
No platform YAML holds an md5 shorter than 32 characters: the Batocera scraper completes one when a single collection md5 starts with it. The pages said some entries carry 29 characters and that scrapers store them as-is.
The database keeps one path per content, so a system placed by the
copy deduplication kept linked to another maker: nintendo-nes and
nintendo-fds to Arcade > FBNeo, sega-mastersystem and
sinclair-zx-spectrum to Other > zesarux. Every folder holding a copy now
votes, an id that spells one console folder links to it, and a maker's
folder outranks the folders that file copies by emulator.
A module-level alias written with a PEP 604 union compiled under 3.9 and
raised TypeError when check_release_assets.py, and check_release.py
through it, were loaded. The floor test now imports every module under
scripts/ with a real 3.9 interpreter, which CI gives pyyaml and
jsonschema.
The pipeline locked only --output-dir while it also writes database.json,
install/, README.md and docs/. A run on a scratch output directory could
start beside the run on dist/ and rewrite them. Every run now holds the
repository's .lock first.
_patched_entry read '#{ ... }' lines as live items, found no match in the model and gave up, so atarist was written again whole (52 lines changed for 3 additions). A commented item is now left as written.
--system compared the raw id, so the normalized spelling printed by verify.py --list-systems selected 1 Saturn profile of 11. The hint now counts the spellings that listing prints.
release_record rebuilt nothing from the name builder: a substring match
took RetroArch_v1.22.2_AndroidArm64V8A_BIOS_Pack.zip for the RetroArch
pack. The record now refuses any pack that is not a registered platform's
full pack and stores the platforms each pack serves, which the readers
use instead of the pack name.
check_release_assets.py built a tuple[..., int | None] alias at import, a TypeError on the 3.9 floor tools.md states, and check_release.py imports it. A test reads every script for unions and match statements evaluated at runtime.
RomM lists the platform firmware folder without recursing and looks each file up as slug:file_name (models/firmware.py, base_handler.list_files at 5.4.0). An addition named with a directory (fuse/48.rom) is not written.
--detect-new-files and --watch-hashes were printed only by the text report and refused with --json, so check_freshness --profiles never saw a name or hash the cited code gained. Both now live on the report, and check_freshness passes them and marks such a profile stale.
The render writes one biosFiles item per path, as checkBios reads one md5 per item. A second addition at a held path was dropped from the file and still counted added (78 announced, 75 written).
Each MT-32 entry cites the SHA-1 line and the ROMInfo line of one
mt32emu.h. dosbox_pure wrote them under two repository words, so the
ROMInfo line was self-checked alone and read MOVED onto the SHA-1 line.
Both now sit in the port that carries the file, and in the upstream for
dosbox-pure-unleashed, whose tree has no src/gui.
A recale that lands on a line a sibling part already cites goes to
review, and a part settled by its anchor keeps that anchor's repository.
cross_reference --platform read bundled from the profile alone and never
read unread_on. It now calls validation.installed_with_emulator and
unread_on with the platform key, as verify does, and a file installed
with its emulator is reported as bundled whether held or not.
Systems a core covers without a file were added while walking a set,
so the hash seed placed them and two runs wrote dist/truth/<platform>.yml
in two orders. The normalized system map was built from a set too.
Ranking contested core claims sorted the whole gap report, which
reordered every manifest. Only the claims on one contested path move now,
grouped where the first of them stood, and two spellings of a path are
one group where the filesystem folds case (RetroBat's 64DD_IPL_DEV.bin).
An entry without a destination (EmuDeck's system:md5 whitelist) no
longer counts as a pack path in verify, and step 5 prints one status for
counts and paths together. A full offline run compared all 12 archives
and 930 emulator packs path by path, every one equal.
Thirty one-line labels in verify.py, generate_site.py and
generate_truth.py named the statement under them ("# Load registry",
"# Copy branding assets"). Comments that give a reason stay, as do the
module section headers. A test reads the three files for new ones.
The which-pack page announced itself ("This page picks the right pack
for a setup") before naming a pack. The sentence goes, the pointer to
Getting started stays.
Ymir reads sega_101.bin or saturn_bios.bin, so the sega_101.bin entry
carries saturn_bios.bin as an alias. kronos, yabause and yabasanshiro
open saturn_bios.bin and fall back to sega_101.bin: they were in that
entry's _cores but not its _required_by, while their saturn_bios.bin
entry had them requiring it. A reader that requires one of an entry's
aliases now requires the entry. No reader is added, and same-name
entries kept apart by path are left alone. No export changes.
A prose citation of the port's own lines was read only in the upstream file that a source_ref attributes the path to, and a range past that file's end came back GONE although the port carries it.
Recalbox hashes a .zip by its members. diff_truth set that composite
against the profile's container md5 and reported neocdz.zip and
neocd.zip as mismatches. _hash_mismatch now drops it through
comparable(), the rule pair_entries and the export already apply.
mkstemp creates its scratch 0600 and os.replace kept that mode, so
database.json, the manifests, the packs, the recipe snapshots and the
large-file cache were readable by their owner only. set_plain_mode
gives the scratch 0o666 less the umask, as open() would, before each
rename. A test walks every function that renames a mkstemp file.
