generate_readme, generate_site and slots resolve against data/ but took no hold when run on their own, as the documented commands do. A refresh swapping a tree mid-read then gave counts from half of it. Each now holds the trees shared, like verify and the builder.
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.
Batocera, RetroBat, Recalbox and ROCKNIX offer some emulators both as a
libretro core and standalone. Filed as standalone only, the libretro
layout was dropped: libretro Dolphin had no dolphin-emu/Sys/GC files.
Platforms now name dual-mode emulators and each gets both layouts.
System.dat pins the 2 KiB X1 font as xmil/IPLROM.X1T, where xmil reads
a 32 KiB Turbo IPL. A held copy of the exact size a profile declares now
proves its claim against a file of another size, so the existence packs
ship the IPL. The font's duplicate under the IPL name is removed.
slots ended a mistyped --platform on a traceback; generate_truth,
refresh_data_dirs and auto_fetch exited 0 having done nothing for it.
All six now stop on require_platform before any work.
argparse completed a prefix into the only flag starting with it:
slots.py --emulator read profiles from a directory named after the
emulator and reported nothing, and pipeline.py --all built every pack
variant. Every parser now refuses an abbreviation.
slots dropped the last extension of any .variants/ name, so a
variant stored under its plain name (63 of them, aes.zip among
them) was not the family of its primary and a platform declaring
both at one path would read as a collision. The database already
stripped an eight-hex suffix only; both now read one function.
A filename-agnostic profile ships its scan candidates, never its named
entries, and the gap report skips it whole. Its entries no longer
arbitrate a destination: RetroArch keeps the GameIndex.yaml it declares
instead of the ARMSX2 copy.
