Abdessamad Derraz 123d698e43 feat: build the site with Astro Starlight

generate_site.py writes the Starlight project in website/ and nothing
else: mkdocs.yml, the MkDocs hooks, theme overrides and stylesheet go,
and the wiki is written in Starlight's syntax. Both workflows set up
Node with the official actions/setup-node pinned by commit, run npm ci
from the committed lockfile, build with the strict link validator and
check the result with validate_site.py.

The search weighs a page by what it answers: Start here pages first,
a system page's cards and file names before a guide citing them, deep
guides, launchers, aliases and frozen copies after. Status badges,
hash blocks and the export change lists leave the index. The ranking
sits at the centre of a range where the 13 queries of search_gate.py
all answer, in the search box itself.

839 pages, every URL and 45,611 ids match the MkDocs build. The tests
read the Starlight content and syntax.

When a game does not start

Most of the time, a BIOS file is missing or is the wrong version. Three checks find it.

1. Check your BIOS folder

Run the command with --check. It changes nothing.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --check

Read the count line:

  1/109 present (0 verified, 1 wrong hash)

wrong hash: a file is there, but its contents are wrong. It may be for another region or model, or damaged.
Fewer present than the total: some files are missing.
0 wrong hash and all present: your files are fine. Go to step 3.

2. Fix the files

Run the same command without --check. It adds the missing files and replaces the wrong ones. It keeps the old ones in retrobios-backup, beside your BIOS folder.

3. Check the folder and the names

Right folder? Your emulator must read the folder the command used. Your setup's page names it.
Is the name exact? scph5501.bin and SCPH-5501.BIN are two different names. On Linux, capital letters count too.
Unzipped by hand on Linux? Use the command. Some emulators there need a lower-case name the ZIP lacks.
A ZIP in parts will not open? Download every part, like Pack.part1of2.zip and Pack.part2of2.zip. Unzip each one into the same folder.

One console only

Add --system and its name:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --check --system sony-playstation --verbose

--verbose names each missing or wrong file. --list-systems shows every console name.

My setup says UNTESTED

Batocera shows UNTESTED for a file whose contents it does not expect. Run the command without --check to replace it.

If the command fails

Network error: check that github.com opens, then try again.
Permission denied: on Batocera, Recalbox and ROCKNIX, put sudo and a space before the command. It then runs as the administrator.
No setup found: name it yourself, with your BIOS folder:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform retroarch --dest ~/.config/retroarch/system
