The search splits a page at its headings. Emulator cards were titled in
bold and platform systems folded into blocks under one heading, so a
pasted hash opened the top of a page or the systems overview of a
100-block platform page. Each file card is now a level 4 heading kept
out of the table of contents, and each platform system a heading.
Card lines that list other pages (platforms, packs, source citations,
collection paths) leave the search index: 24.7 MB down to 18.1 MB, the
names, hashes and notes still searchable.
The index of other system spellings was rebuilt only when the page
table changed length, so a table of the same size kept the previous
links. The builder now returns its table and set_system_page_map
installs it with the index derived from it.
RetroArch, Lakka, RetroPie, EmuDeck and RetroBat group NAOMI and
Atomiswave as sega-dreamcast-arcade and the Enterprise 64 and 128 as
one system. No profile uses those ids, so the emulator cell was empty.
When no id matches, a platform page now names the emulators that read
a file the system lists. Archive members do not count.
A copy filed under two consoles of one maker was listed twice with the same id, and a data directory listed the same bytes twice, so the site deploy refused 20 pages. The first card keeps the id. The pipeline only generated the pages, so it now renders them with mkdocs build --strict and runs validate_site as the deploy does. The resumed-speed test read the clock and failed on a slow runner, it now fixes the elapsed time.
The database keeps one path per content, so a copy filed under another manufacturer was on no page of its own: the Channel F BIOS sat under Arcade > FBNeo and Fairchild had no system page. Every folder holding a copy now lists it, read from the full paths by_path_suffix records, and the index counts each content once.
Platform pages matched emulators to systems by the exact id, so the RetroArch page listed none for sega-mega-drive (genesis_plus_gx says sega-megadrive), and listed every emulator of a system instead of those the platform runs. Emulator cards linked only ids a platform uses: 2,057 of 4,215 system lines had no link, now 327, the rest having no page. Ids are compared as _norm_system_id reads them, and a system only profiles name is placed by the files they file under it.
