tools/generate-core-metadata.py now extracts the option tables of a5200, the
Beetle NeoPop/PCE/PC-FX/VB/WonderSwan cores, DOSBox-pure, Flycast, Handy,
NeoCD, Opera, PicoDrive, PokeMini, ProSystem, PUAE, ScummVM, Stella and
Virtual Jaguar: table names are detected, v1 tables are dumped
(dump-options.cpp), DOSBox's namespace tables, NeoCD's runtime builder and
Stella's legacy variables are handled. The 15 existing catalogs are
byte-identical. build-title.sh fails when a shipped core (rpcs3 aside) has no
catalog.
Evidence: build/webui-core-metadata/index.cfg lists all 33 cores; the WebUI
in a browser lists 33 profiles and Beetle PCE shows Video, Audio, Input,
Emulation Hacks, PC Engine CD and General.
Gates: bash tools/verify.sh -> verify: PASS (format unit build integration evidence)
Expose 846 options from 15 pinned PS5 core catalogs before first use,
with categories, descriptions, exact choices, saved-value preservation,
and Advanced mode. Include installed cores without saved profiles and
preserve first-use PPSSPP/Dolphin edits through their profile migration.
Bind dynamic runtime options to the catalog and core binary revision.
Validation: all five tools/verify.sh gates pass (96 tests), all 15 core
browser checks pass, and the deployed native menu-only run exposes all
846 catalog keys with matching JSON, build identity and normal return.
Restore original settings and stop the temporary helper after testing.
