The super-effective / not-very-effective hit sounds were only covered by
the manual ears-only driver (tests/drivers/hit_sfx_bug826_test.lua), so
the wFrequencyModifier wiring that fixed#826 (and that #902 reports as
a swap had no CI guard. This suite pins the polynomial-counter bytes
for all three hit sounds against the real audio/sfx programs: bare they
read swapped (super effective ends duller), and pitched they read
correct (super effective 4 shift 1 crack, not very effective
shift 10 thud). A port that drops the modifier fails 11 of 24 checks.

CI on a headless ubuntu-24.04-arm runner caught what a desktop Pi could not:
the AppImage only started on a machine that already had a full desktop stack
installed. Three distinct causes, all from bundling Debian's builds of
libraries that Debian builds for a co-versioned system, which is the opposite
of an AppImage's situation.
1. Hard-linked backends. Debian's libSDL2 lists libpulse, libasound, libX11
and libwayland-client as DT_NEEDED rather than dlopening them, so the
loader demanded all four at startup; the CI job failed with
"libpulse.so.0 => not found". Debian's OpenAL does the same through
libsndio, which itself hard-links libasound. Built from source with
--enable-*-shared and ALSOFT_DLOPEN, both dlopen their backends, so the
image now runs on a Wayland-only session, a KMSDRM handheld with no X
server, or a box with ALSA and no PulseAudio.
2. A stray link. Debian's libtheoradec is linked against libcairo, which
drags in X11, xcb, fontconfig and freetype for a video decoder.
--disable-examples leaves it needing only libogg.
3. SONAME collision with the host. OpenAL dlopens ALSA, ALSA's config loads
its PulseAudio hook plugin, and that plugin pulls the host's libsndfile
into the process. libsndfile links libogg, libvorbis and libmpg123 -- the
same three we bundle -- and since the loader resolves a SONAME once per
process it bound to our bullseye copies. A bullseye libmpg123 has no
mpg123_info2 (added in 1.32), so the plugin failed to relocate, ALSA
config collapsed, and the game ran with no audio device at all. Building
them current means our copies satisfy the host's libsndfile instead of
starving it.
The general rule, now stated as an assertion instead of a comment: never
bundle a library the host's own stack may also load unless ours is at least
as new as theirs. build_appimage.sh fails if any shipped object hard-requires
anything beyond glibc, libstdc++ and the font stack, and CI re-checks it on
the extracted artifact.
Host requirements drop from "a working desktop" to glibc 2.29+, libstdc++,
libfreetype6 and zlib. Bundled libraries drop from 13 to 10: libcairo,
libpixman and libsndio are gone entirely.
Verified on a Raspberry Pi 5 (trixie, Wayland): boots, imports, plays, and
audio works -- SDL 2.30 now picks the native Wayland backend rather than
falling back to XWayland as bullseye's 2.0.14 did.

scripts/build.sh's `linux` target only ever produces x86_64: it unpacks
LOVE's official love-11.5-x86_64.AppImage and re-fuses game.love into it.
There is no aarch64 equivalent to unpack -- LOVE 11.5 publishes win32,
win64, macOS, Android, iOS and exactly one x86_64 AppImage -- so arm64
desktop Linux (Raspberry Pi 4/5, Armbian, arm64 VMs on Apple Silicon) had
no artifact at all.
Compile LOVE 11.5 from the official linux-src tarball instead, inside a
Debian bullseye arm64 container, and assemble the AppImage from scratch.
Both pinned inputs (the LOVE source tarball and the AppImage type-2
runtime, on a dated tag rather than `continuous`) are SHA-256 verified on
the host, so the container runs with no network access.
Bullseye is the compile environment, not a claim about where the artifact
runs: glibc is backward but not forward compatible, so linking against the
oldest supported glibc is the only thing that makes one artifact work
everywhere. The binaries come out needing only glibc 2.29 / GLIBCXX_3.4.21,
covering Raspberry Pi OS bullseye through trixie and Ubuntu 20.04 onward.
The dependency walker copies in LOVE's own libraries and leaves the
driver-coupled, loader-coupled and font-stack libraries to the host. That
last category is not cosmetic: Debian's libtheoradec is linked against
libcairo, so a host cairo gets loaded into the process, and because the
loader resolves one SONAME once per process it then binds to whatever
libfreetype we bundled -- bullseye's 2.10.4 has no FT_Get_Transform, which
cairo 1.18 needs, and the game died at startup with a symbol lookup error.
Excluding the whole font stack makes the process self-consistent.
CI gets three path-gated jobs: an offline selftest on ubuntu-latest (pins,
the host-arch guard, the exclude list, the AppRun fusion contract), a real
build on ubuntu-24.04-arm that asserts the layout, that every bundled
object resolves under AppRun's LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and that the glibc floor is
still <= 2.31, and a release job that reuses the shared game.love payload.
None of it needs secrets or self-hosted hardware, so it runs on fork PRs.
Verified end to end on a Raspberry Pi 5 (Debian trixie, Wayland): the
launcher boots from the AppImage and renders correctly.

This fixes the nil value returned when running validate or pack on Fedora 43. Since Love isn't running, luajit calls on an empty table. Providing a stub table resolves the nil error.
The modkit validate and pack drivers run the real loader under plain
luajit, with no love global. With --base imported, Data:load falls
back to CacheFs.readActive for a generated module require cannot find
(an optional module like data/generated/audio.lua is legitimately
absent from developer and stale caches), and CacheFs.read indexed
love.filesystem once there was no portable root, so validate and pack
died with MK100 before the mod was even looked at. Headless there is
no save directory to read from, so return nil like any other cache
miss.

The SAVE FILES card only accepted saves of exactly 32768 bytes and
refused anything else. importToSlot now classifies a non-32768 file by
the integrity of its main-data checksum instead:
- Oversize + valid checksum -> an emulator RTC footer, so the launcher
asks for confirmation, then truncates to 32768 on force.
- Oversize + invalid checksum -> rejected.
- Undersize + valid checksum -> imports zero-padded; otherwise refused.
Adds the "Oversized save file" confirm modal, a new vendor-oracle test
built by gen1lib (PKHeX-derived) run as its own Lua 5.4 tier, oversize/
truncated policy tests, and the LUA54 wiring in test.sh.

The DEX grid now defaults to Pokedex-number order with an A-Z view, set
from two chips in the header. Sorting is view-only: it never dirties the
save, resets the scroll, and no-ops on a re-click. Ops.dexList builds the
order deterministically and sorts partial mod records last. Tests pin the
orderings against the real generated data.
The launcher spent ~9ms per frame building and drawing, and the Find Mods
tab could hang the window for minutes. Both had the same root cause: a
retained UI tree rebuilt every frame, and blocking curl calls made from the
draw path.
Replace the vendored FlexLove engine (28.5k lines) with src/ui/kit/ (Kit,
Theme, Layout, Loader). The kit caches Text objects and all measurement,
allocates nothing in the steady state, and draws flat. Build+draw is now
under 1ms at every window size and on every tab (POKEPORT_LAUNCHER_PROF).
Move every network call off the render thread onto a love.thread pool
(src/net/Fetch.lua): mod index fetches, per-mod release checks, find-tab
stats, thumbnails and mod installs. Mod indexes prewarm at boot so the
Find Mods tab is populated before it is opened.
Paginate every list -- mods, find, save slots, settings, release notes,
versions -- with the page size derived from the real viewport height, so a
500-mod index costs what a 10-mod one does. Scrolling is gone.
Anything that waits now raises a non-dismissable loader; per-row background
work shows an inline spinner instead. The in-app updater moves to the top
right beside the settings gear and pulses when an update is waiting.
Theme is black with white outlines, no gradients or glows, and solid
colour-coded embossed buttons with bold labels. The game tabs keep their
cartridge colours. Everything is 1.3x larger. The save editor shares the
theme, and adding an item there is now a searchable pop-up like adding a
Pokemon.
Also:
- Reset rebinds, in Settings and under Touch Controls. Rebinds are additive
(Input:applyBindings layers them over the defaults), so there was no
in-game way to undo one.
- Launch options: --game red [--slot N] / POKEPORT_GAME boots straight into
a game for shortcuts and frontends, falling back to that game's tab when
its ROM is not imported.
Fixes found while porting:
- Ellipsis and letterspacing truncated bytes, not codepoints, so a
multi-byte mod name crashed the first frame on a Japanese index.
Measurement no longer throws on malformed input either.
- The new font set missed UiFont's kana fallback, rendering translated
builds as tofu.
- Fetch workers idle in Channel:demand() and LOVE waits for live threads at
exit, so the process outlived the window; quitting mid-download also
waited on curl's 300s ceiling. Shut the pool down in love.quit and bound
its transfer timeouts.
- In one column the save-slot card drew below the fold, over the footer,
with no scrollbar left to reach it.
The two FlexLove engine tests guarded a scroll manager and an auto-height
propagation bug that no longer exist; replace them with a kit suite covering
page bounds, viewport sizing and UTF-8 truncation, and retarget the NX test
to assert the dependency is gone rather than that its perf guards are set.
A focus flip, visibility flip, joystick add/remove, or resume reset all
held input, and a still-held direction never re-fires keypressed, so any
spurious reset (macOS Bluetooth re-enumeration fires joystickadded with
no hotplug) parked the player until every direction was re-pressed.
Reconcile from device ground truth after each reset; only what is
physically down comes back, so swallowed releases still clear.
The originals run GiveItem before printing the received texts, and when
the bag can't hold the TM they print a make-room line instead and leave
EVENT_GOT_TM* unset, so talking to the leader again retries the give.
The victory reward path added the TM straight into the inventory, so a
full bag went to 21/20.
Route the gym TM give through Bag.add, split the TM lines out of the
victory dialogue table into tmPre/tmDialogue/noRoom, and port the
beaten-leader middle branch that re-runs the ReceiveTM script. Saves
that already hold the TM without the flag count as received so they
don't collect a second copy.

In pokered, MainInBattleLoop calls HandlePoisonBurnLeechSeed right
after every Execute*Move (core.asm:426-464), so a seeded, poisoned or
burned mon takes its residual before the slower side acts. The port
ran the whole sweep in endOfTurn, which made leech seed behave like
Gen 3+ and never showed the drain animation (#784).
The residual sweep now runs per action under the gen1_faithful
ruleset, gated by a new residualAfterMove flag; modern_clean keeps
the end of round sweep. The leech seed drain plays the ABSORB
animation from the healing side, the way the original flips
hWhoseTurn before PlayMoveAnimation. Item, ball, failed run and
ghost-fear turns still tick the player's residual, matching
ExecutePlayerMoveDone.
