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.

The app existed only on one disk: a local git repo with no remote, so a
lost machine lost the work. It now has a repo under services/, next to
the other things that run on our servers, and sits in the folder its org
implies rather than at the workspace root.
It is private, unlike its neighbours: config/master.key is tracked in the
history, and that key decrypts config/credentials.yml.enc.

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.

Six new orgs (demos, engines, bbs, build, services, infra) and thirty
repos moved, per REPO_REFACT.md in the workspace root. The clone URLs
follow; check-repos.sh needed no change, since it reads owner/name from
the server rather than assuming an org.
The monorepo now clones from services/teletypegames instead of GitHub —
that is what the local checkout's origin has been pointing at all along,
and the check flagged the Gitea copy as missing from the list.
WIKI_CONNECTION.md gains an Org column next to the workspace path.

The tool was split on 2026-08-15 into a reusable engine
(warp-engine-batocera-store, the renamed batocera-store repo) and our
store on top of it (ttg-batocera-store). Neither was in repos.list —
the original repo predated the last update of the list — and both now
have their own wiki page.
