RETROARCH_STORE.md is the design, written from measurements rather than
documentation: the format samples, thumbnail layout and core names come from
a real RetroArch install on this machine, the core availability from the
libretro buildbot index, and the CRC32s from the catalog itself.
Three findings shaped it. The playlist folder is not necessarily inside the
RetroArch directory — on the machine measured, playlist_directory is under
~/Documents while cores and thumbnails are under ~/Library — so reading
retroarch.cfg is a requirement, not a nicety. Thumbnails must be PNG, and
one of our covers is a GIF, which no store had cared about before. And a
.lpl entry has nowhere to put a description, so desc and author do not
survive the trip.
Built the same day, in three repositories: engines/warpstore (the shared
core, extracted immediately rather than in the second phase the plan
proposed), tools/warp-engine-retroarch-store and tools/ttg-retroarch-store.
The closing section of the design records what the implementation changed
about it.
MORE_STORES.md item 4 is closed, its "a minta" section now points at the
extracted core, and REPO_REFACT.md carries the three new repos —
check-repos.sh is green at 49.

MORE_STORES.md asks which further host platforms could get a store like
the Batocera one, and starts from a measurement: the catalog ships html
for 11 of 15 titles and desktop binaries for 8, while the Batocera store
consumes only cartridge — 7. The gap is not the number of stores but
that the existing one leaves half the catalog untouched.
Also records that the ARM64 asset kind is the prerequisite for the
retro-handheld direction, and closes the internal-org item in
REPO_REFACT.md now that all eight builder images live under build/.
The Woodpecker note is corrected against what the CLI actually reports:
19 repos registered and active, not the 10 the pipelines table shows.

Every repo now sits at <org>/<name>, so the clone list's path column and
its org column agree by construction: tools_bbs/, tools_build/ and
tools_libs/ are gone, pong moved to demos/ and c64-demo to games/ per
their catalog status, wiki-pages to infra/ and the monorepo to services/.
devarea stays at the workspace root — clone-repos.sh clones into its
parent directory, so it cannot live inside a category folder.
The wiki file column follows wiki-pages into infra/, and the engine
pages into the /engines namespace they were gathered under.

Both are done: the three Go modules carry their current org and are
released, and the three bbs repos fetch rubbs from engines on the
canonical host. impostor-bbs had the same stale source as the two the
note listed.

Both were written into the workspace root, which is not a git repo, so
they were versioned nowhere: one `rm` and they were gone, and nobody
else on the team could see them. They belong next to WIKI_CONNECTION.md
— all three describe the estate rather than any single repo.
The references in the ttg-ops skills follow in the marketplace repo.
