resolve_platform_cores() builds reverse index from profile cores: field, fixing 17 name mismatches across Batocera, RetroBat, and Recalbox (genesisplusgx, pce_fast, pcfx, vb, mame078plus, vice cores, etc.). standalone_path field on file entries + standalone_cores on platform YAMLs enable mode-aware pack generation. find_undeclared_files() uses standalone_path for cores the platform runs standalone, filters by mode: libretro/standalone per file. batocera.yml gains standalone_cores (92 entries from configgen-defaults). generate_readme.py dynamically lists platforms from registry. 3 profiles updated for standalone type/path (mame, hatari, mupen64plus_next). 78 E2E tests pass, pipeline verified.

How it works
Documentation and metadata can drift from what emulators actually load. To keep packs accurate, each file is checked against the emulator's source code.
- Read emulator source code - trace every file the code loads, its expected hash and size
- Cross-reference with platforms - match against what each platform declares
- Build packs - include baseline files plus what each platform's cores need
- Verify - run platform-native checks and emulator-level validation
