Badge lines are end-battle texts (SaveEndBattleTextPointers), so they are
printed while the battle sound engine is still loaded. A text sound command
names an id rather than a sound, and that engine's SFX_Headers_2 gives those
ids different sounds: the id behind sound_get_item_1 / sound_level_up is
SFX_Level_Up there, and the id behind sound_get_key_item is SFX_Ball_Poof.
The port resolved the jingle by name, so it always played the overworld
reading (Get_Item1 / Get_Key_Item) -- the wrong jingle for receiving the
BOULDERBADGE, and the same collision for Cerulean, Saffron, Cinnabar and
Viridian in Red, Blue and Yellow alike.
Add victories.badgeSoundFor(), which answers with the jingle that is actually
audible for the badge hand-over:
Red/Blue Brock Level_Up, Misty Ball_Poof, Sabrina Ball_Poof,
Blaine Ball_Poof, Giovanni Level_Up
Yellow the same, except Misty: CeruleanGym.asm drops the command from
that line, so Yellow's Cascade Badge has no jingle
Vermilion, Celadon and Fuchsia carry no sound on their badge lines in any
version. The raw `badgeSound` field keeps the overworld-engine name, which is
what the TM texts (printed in the overworld) genuinely need.
Tests: pin the literal per-version jingle and its page for all five badge
leaders in tests/engine/gym_badge_jingle_page_bug1982.lua (53 checks), and
have the #1606 and driver suites assert through badgeSoundFor.

There was no way to ask "will this mod load on FireRed?". `validate`, `lint`
and `pack` only reason about Gen 1, and `gen2check` refuses a Gen 3 mod at the
manifest gate. `gen3check` is the Gen 3 counterpart of `gen2check`:
python3 tools/modkit.py gen3check mods/<id> [--notes] [--json] [--strict]
- Factor the shared compat analysis behind a `Generation` descriptor, with
`GEN2`/`GEN3` module-level singletons holding everything that differs: the
compat facade name, the generation's own directory (`gen2` vs `game3`), the
legacy manifest flag, the screen-twin prefix, and the sibling spelling. Every
compat helper now takes a trailing `gen`.
- MK400-MK410 stay shared by design -- they are the same questions asked of a
different facade -- and the verdict line (`on gen 3: ...`) disambiguates.
- Gen 3 sibling spelling: `src/ui/game3/` is snake_case while
`src/world/game3/WorldAPI.lua` is not, so MK403 tries both spellings and
stops at the first sibling that exists. Only 8 Gen 1 modules are reachable
this way (`BattleAPI`, `BagMenu`, `HallOfFame`, `IntroMovie`, `OptionRows`,
`ShopMenu`, `SummaryMenu`, `TrainerCard`), so MK403 on Gen 3 is live but
narrow.
- MK409's screen-twin half is switched off on Gen 3 -- there is no
`Screens.GEN2_IDS` equivalent -- while its version-string half still runs,
since a Gen 1 version id in a mod that declares only FireRed is a real bug.
- Rename `GEN2_IDS_DUMP` to `VERSION_IDS_DUMP`, now parameterized by
generation.
Gen 2 behaviour is unchanged: `diff -r` of `gen2check --notes` and
`gen2check --notes --json` output over all 10 shipped mods, captured before and
after this change, is empty.
Tests: `tests/modkit/cases/gen3check.lua` grows from 504 to 542 checks. Every
fixture is derived from the engine at run time -- the coverage table,
`GEN1_ONLY_MODULES`, and the `game3/` directory listings -- so the suite cannot
drift away from the tables it is asserting against. It covers MK400's Gen 3
wording, MK402 naming `Gen3Compat` and never `Gen2Compat`, MK403 naming the
snake_case path, MK404 quoting the member, MK409's version-string half, MK410
counted once at file scope, the `--json` verdict shape, and that no adapted
module is ever MK402.

Gen3Compat's src.ui.StartMenu coverage row claimed the
ui.start_menu.items hook is "not raised on FireRed yet". It is raised:
src/ui/game3/start_menu.lua calls it from StartMenu.show with
(game, entries), the same name and arity as src/ui/StartMenu.lua and
src/ui/gen2/StartMenu.lua.
The note is what a mod author reads when asking whether the hook exists
on this generation, so a stale one costs a mod the hook for no reason.
- Rewrite the note to describe the FireRed arm: a row is { id, label }
and carries no onSelect to rewire, and a non-table return is dropped
without the Logger.error the other two generations emit.
- List ENTRIES as backed and note it: the facade passes the module's
list straight through, and show() rebuilds it on every open, so a mod
has to act per open rather than once.

The SBC and RG34XXSP ports hand LÖVE a source *directory*
(`love <dir>`), so `love.filesystem.isFused()` is false there and
`Boot.run` bailed on its first line. The launcher still offered
"Update vX.Y.Z" and "Restart to update", so an update downloaded,
verified, and then was silently ignored forever.
- Boot.canUpdateInPlace() replaces the fused-only gate: a packaged
build updates whether it is fused (AppImage, Flatpak game.love) or
unpacked, and only a dev / source checkout (engine "0.0.0-dev") is
excluded. Fails closed when the host cannot be established.
Prelaunch.updateAllowed now delegates to it, so the boot gate and the
`--update` gate cannot disagree.
- Check.hostPort() reads the release-target marker, with
POKEPORT_HANDHELD as a legacy fallback (the SBC launcher has always
exported it, so packs predating this change still identify
themselves). The marker was read from the environment but never
exported, so a full-package fallback on a handheld resolved to a
desktop AppImage that cannot run there.
- A handheld now fetches its own package ("Download port update",
reusing the worker's cross-platform download_full) instead of
offering a URL it has no browser to open, and reports "Update package
ready" once it is in the save directory for a manual re-extract.
- Launchers export POKEPORT_PORTMASTER / POKEPORT_RG34XXSP.
An in-place update only ever mounts a payload over the running source,
so relaxing the gate is less invasive than the fused path it joins.
A runtime bump still needs a full package, which the minShell gate
already reports as needs_full.
Tests: tests/engine/update_boot_host_gate.lua (new, 10 checks) pins the
gate; update_check_tests.lua pins both port asset names and hostPort().
scripts/test.sh --quick: all tiers passed; scripts/lint.sh: 0 errors.

Just updates RomImporter so asset importers like A Link to the Past work properly on Android.
The importer now uses Android's native file picker, stages imported files separately from the normal Pokémon ROM flow, and routes them back to the correct importer when the picker closes.
The fallback file browser also no longer filters out .smc / .sfc files.
FrlgFont.glyphId builds its character-to-glyph map from TextIR.CHARMAP, the decode table for US FireRed text, which only lists the accented letters US text prints (é, É). Every other letter fell back to glyph 0x00, so a French, German, Spanish or Italian string drawn by game3 lost à, ç, è, ê, ä, ö, ü, ß, ñ, ¿, ¡ and the rest to blank cells.
The US ROM font already draws the whole Latin block of pret's charmap, in both latin_normal and latin_small, at the charmap's own positions. FrlgFont now maps those characters too (FrlgFont.LATIN_GLYPHS). TextIR.CHARMAP is left as is, so decoding ROM text and extracted caches are unchanged, and every US character keeps its glyph.
The bag's party-select screen read session.party, which battle_bridge only
writes back when the battle ends. Mid-battle it therefore showed pre-battle
HP and refused heals that would in fact work ("It won't have any effect.").
- Add PartyView.live(session): flushes the active player battlers into
st.playerParty and returns it, falling back to session.party outside
battle.
- bag_menu: read the live party, and stop re-mapping the party slot. The
battleOrder wrapper in PartyMenu.show already yields a real slot, so the
second map healed the wrong mon.
- Extract the battle hand-off into BagMenu.battleUse and route the Berry
Pouch's USE through it. The pouch fell back to ItemUse.useField, which
also only knows session.party, so a berry was eaten with no effect.
- Add tests/game3_battle_item_party_test.lua (7 blocks).

Most map sections never showed a Location Preview because the preview
artwork and the region-map GUIDE text were hand-authored placeholders:
only a handful of sections had art and none of it came from the ROM.
Read the real tables out of the dump instead.
Extraction (new):
- src/import/gba/region_map_tables.lua locates and validates
sMapPreviewScreenData. The pinned offset from versions.lua is tried
first and a bounded +/-0x8000 scan is only a guard. Validation is
structural (mapsec in 88..196, type 0/1, three in-range ROM pointers,
and the shipped invariant that the palette block is the first 0x40
bytes of the tile block) so all 28 entries must hold.
- src/import/gba/map_preview_extract.lua bakes 21 deduplicated 240x160
RGBA artworks (28 entries reuse art: Pattern Bush and the six Tanoby
chambers), 109 mapsec names verified against sRegionMapSectionIdToName,
and the 19 sDungeonInfo entries. Palette banks 13/14; bank-0 tilemap
refs only occur in off-screen padding columns.
- src/import/gba/bg_bake.lua holds the shared 4bpp BG baking helpers;
berry_pouch_extract.lua is refactored onto them (-94 lines).
Runtime:
- src/ui/game3/map_preview_screen.lua ports
Task_RunMapPreviewScreenForest: 120-frame first-visit hold, 40-frame
revisit, 48-frame fade-out, artwork and name window composited into one
canvas so they fade together. Only MPS_TYPE_FOREST (8 sections) takes
over the screen; the 20 MPS_TYPE_CAVE sections only change the warp
fade colour, matching pret.
- src/core/game3/map.lua gives a changed section with a forest preview
precedence over the map name popup (overworld.c state 12).
- src/core/game3/warp.lua routes every fade through warpFadeModes,
applying WarpFadeOutScreen/WarpFadeInScreen: a section change into a
cave-preview map forces FADE_TO_BLACK, otherwise MapTransitionIsEnter/
IsExit decide white vs black on MAP_TYPE_UNDERGROUND.
- setworldmapflag feeds the transient visit flag; the HUD ticks and
dismisses the screen; the dataset installs the cache on hydrate.
- region_map.lua's GUIDE panel uses the retail geometry, tint ramp and
delayed text, and ROM names/dungeon text overlay the hand-authored
fallbacks via ensureGenerated().
Two retail quirks are tolerated: MPS_ROCKET_WAREHOUSE and Berry Forest
share flagId 2231 (as do the six Tanoby chambers), and the Tanoby mapsec
is spelled MAPSEC_DILFORD_CHAMBER.
CACHE_VERSION 99 -> 100.
Verified: tests/game3_map_preview_extract_test.lua (new; ROM-gated, all
28 entries, 8 forest / 20 cave, 21 artworks, 109 names, 19 dungeons, the
shared flag, Pattern Bush art reuse), tests/game3_town_map_test.lua,

The location header drew `session.mapName or session.map`, and nothing in
src/ ever assigns session.mapName, so the fallback always won and the
screen printed the engine's internal id ("FR_ROUTE_22").
pret prints the sMapNames place name resolved from the map header:
start_menu.c PrintSaveStats -> SAVE_STAT_LOCATION
save_menu_util.c GetMapNameGeneric(dest, gMapHeader.regionMapSectionId)
region_map.c GetMapName(dst, mapsec, 0)
and centres it in the 14-tile stats window. Do the same via the existing
MapSectionsExtract.getInfo() lookup, and centre the run instead of
drawing it at a fixed x.
getInfo() also gets two fixes on the path the save screen now depends on:
- the fuzzy id match picked whichever section pairs() happened to visit
first, so "ROUTE_22" could resolve to "ROUTE 2". Prefer the exact match,
else the longest.
- return `resolved` so callers can tell a real section from the Pallet
Town placeholder the function falls back to for unknown maps.

The FRLG level-up stat window opened and the sequence kept pumping, so the
box outlived its own step: it stopped taking input (routing is phase-gated),
never closed, and drew over the win/money text.
- exp_seq: update() now waits while the window is open (mirroring the
already-correct busy()), and finish()/reset() tear the window down silently
so a stale onDone cannot advance a sequence that no longer owns it.
- stat_growth: close(opts) gains opts.silent for teardown callers.
- init: the input-routing phase list moves into STAT_WINDOW_PHASES behind
Battle.statWindowPhase(), and Battle.update() tears down a window whose
phase can no longer dismiss it.
- ui: the stat-window draw keys off the same predicate, so input and drawing
can never disagree.
Tests: the "In-Battle Level Up Stat Growth Window" block in
tests/game3_battle_switch_and_faint_test.lua now pumps ExpSeq.update() while
the box is open, and a new CI-covered tests/engine suite pins the same
regression.

The Android APK job failed resolving every artifact from
repo.maven.apache.org with 403 Forbidden, before any build work ran.
The same job passed in the four preceding runs on this repo, and the
Nexhas28 token has no re-run rights on the upstream repository, so this
empty commit is the only available way to retrigger the workflow.
No source changes.
Follow-up to #2319, found while testing it: the catch flow hand-wrote
"YOUR POKEMON'S NICKNAME?" into the text-entry window. That string is
141px wide, but sWindowTemplates[WIN_TEXT_ENTRY_BOX] only gives 127px
from x=73, so the title ran ~12px over the frame's right edge.
pret composes the title instead -- DrawMonTextEntryBox prints
gSpeciesNames[mon] followed by gText_PkmnsNickname ("'s nickname?"),
which fits for every species (worst case 123px).
- Naming.monTitle() is now the single source of that string, used by
both the catch flow and special:158.
- Naming.draw clamps the title to L.titleMaxW, mirroring the GBA's
per-window glyph clip, so an over-long name can never escape the frame
(the default 240px maxWidth is wider than the box itself).

The mon branch of drawPlayerIcon reused the player overworld sprite's
16x32 box to letterbox the icon, so a 32x32 Pokemon.icon came out at
scale 0.5 -- half size inside the frame baked into bg.png. The 64x64
frontPic fallback was worse still, at 0.25.
Give the mon its own box in the layout table (pret naming_screen.c:1422
CreateMonIcon(species, SpriteCallbackDummy, 56, 40) draws it unscaled on
that centre), so the icon fills the frame 1:1 and the fallback shrinks to
fit the same box. Also pin the frame to quads[0]: pret's dummy callback
leaves the icon on its first frame, not the 1px-shifted second pose.
The player/rival overworld slot keeps its 16x32 box untouched.
Fixes#2319

The Gen 3 extractor emitted eggCycles/eggGroups but never egg moves, so the
gen3_dexnav hidden-mon roll was inert on FireRed: a hidden mon kept its
level-up moves and could never gain an egg move.
Decode the ROM's own gEggMoves table (pokefirered/src/data/pokemon/
egg_moves.h) into pokemon/egg_moves.lua and expose it the same way as
learnsets/tmhm:
- Versions: EGG_MOVES = 0x25EF0C plus the 20000 species offset, the 0xFFFF
run terminator and a defensive per-species cap. The table is one flat u16
stream of `{ species + 20000, move..., 0xFFFF }` runs with no final
terminator, so the first word that is neither a header nor a plausible move
id ends the scan.
- PokemonExtract: extract_egg_moves + write_egg_moves_lua, written to the
cache by run(), required by ready() so a stale cache re-extracts, and
returned as pack.eggMoves. FORMAT_VERSION 3 -> 4.
- Pokemon.eggMoves(species): runtime accessor with the same species coercion
as Pokemon.learnset; nil for a species with no egg move.
- Schemas: eggMoves on monTables/monRecord/writeMon and the Gen 3 species
field list, so a mod reads record.eggMoves as move ids and writes names back.
- Versions.CACHE_VERSION 98 -> 99 to force re-extraction.
The table is sparse: species without egg moves are absent rather than an
empty list, all the way from the ROM to the mod record.
Validated against a supported FireRed USA 1.0 dump: 165 species, 973 moves,
<=8 per species, Bulbasaur {113,130,219,204,80,345,320,174}, Mankey
{157,193,96,68,179,251,279,265} (no Toxic), Mew nil.
Tests: new tests/engine/game3_egg_moves.lua (31 checks ROM-free, 39 with a
ROM), gate_gen3_mod_api 734/734, engine tier 587/587, modkit tier 37/37,

dev added the public Encounters.tableFor export (MapCatalog resolution,
prefix stripping, route normalization) at the same point in
src/core/game3/encounters.lua where this branch inserts the cooldown
block. The two changes are purely additive, so both are kept: dev's
export sits next to table_for where it belongs, followed by the
cooldown/rate-test block.
scripts/lint.sh auto-merged cleanly, keeping both dev's PATH export for
node_modules/.bin and ~/.luarocks/bin and this branch's luacheck --version
probe.
Re-verified after the merge that dev's RNG-parity commit does not shift
the encounter goldens: 88/88 cooldown checks still pass, including the
Route 1 4000-step counts (401 with the grace period vs 858 without).

luacheck 1.2.0 is the newest release and predates Lua 5.5, which made
generic-for control variables read-only. Built against Lua 5.5 it dies
loading luacheck.standards -- before linting a single file -- so the T0
gate can never pass, and the failure surfaced only as a raw loader
traceback that looks like a repo defect.
Probe `luacheck --version` before the real run:
- if it cannot run, print the captured error plus the Lua 5.4 install
command and exit 2, matching the existing not-found path
- if it runs but reports Lua 5.5, warn that 1.2.0 predates it and that
results are suspect, then lint anyway
CI is unaffected: it installs luacheck against Ubuntu's Lua, not 5.5.

Completes the pret/pokefirered parity for wild encounter rate gating,
on top of the cooldown port in b84c2c15.
Ports DoWildEncounterRateTest as Encounters.encounterRate(): *16, bike
*80/100, banked failure rate +buff*16/200, flute, Cleanse Tag *2/3,
ability (Stench /2, Illuminate *2), then the 1600 clamp last -- pret's
exact order, which the modifier-order tests pin down.
Ports AddToWildEncounterRateBuff: a failed rate test (or a rate test
that passes but picks no slot) banks the area rate; an active Repel
zeroes the bank. Without this, encounters were still flat-rate rather
than ramping after near-misses.
Also ports the Mach/Acro bike *80/100 modifier.
End-to-end goldens on Route 1 (rate 21, 4000 steps) shift 397->401
with the cooldown and 843->858 without. That matches pret's steady
state analytically: a 6-step cooldown followed by p~0.112 as the bank
ramps gives a cycle of (1-0.94^6)/0.112+6 ~ 10.3 steps, ~10%/step.
The observed 401/4000 = 10.03% confirms it.
tests/game3_rng_test.lua now resets rate modifiers per replay, since
the banked rate makes sequences history-dependent; a map load resets
in-game.

Gen3 (FireRed) had no cooldown between wild battles, so every step on an
encounter tile rolled at the area's full rate -- Route 1 (~21%) landed a
battle on roughly one step in five. Gen2 already had this via
World:wildCooldownStep(); game3 never did.
Port pret/pokefirered wild_encounter.c:
- GetMapBaseEncounterCooldown -> Encounters.mapBaseCooldown: steps of
immunity derived from the area's own rate (rate >= 80 -> none, < 10 ->
8, else 8 - rate/10).
- HandleWildEncounterCooldown -> Encounters.handleCooldown: a soft floor,
not a hard gate -- once the minimum elapses a 5%/step leak lets a battle
through anyway. Includes the White/Black Flute, Cleanse Tag, Stench and
Illuminate modifiers in pret's application order (Cleanse Tag before the
ability mod, which changes the result).
- ResetEncounterRateModifiers -> Encounters.resetRateModifiers, wired to
the two places pret resets: map load (Map.load, including seamless
connection crossings) and battle start (BattleBridge.startWild). The
latter is the bug-#1229 class -- scripted battles and fishing re-arm the
grace period even though no step rolled.
Measured on Route 1 over 4000 steps: 843 encounters before, 397 after;
first encounter never lands before step 7.
Not ported (makes encounters more likely, so it does not affect the
reported symptom): the encounterRateBuff anti-frustration ramp and the
Mach/Acro bike rate modifier.
tests/engine/wild_encounter_cooldown.lua covers the cooldown golden table,
the counter/leak mechanics, all five modifiers, both re-arm paths and the
end-to-end step count.

Collision.installWarps force-marked every map-header warp cell walkable. That
is right for the outdoor MB_WARP_DOOR tiles extract can leave solid, but it also
opened cells that only carry a dead warp event. PalletTown_PlayersHouse_1F has
one at (3,9): the wall tile directly left of the door mat, mid 26, coll 1,
behavior 0x00 MB_NORMAL. pret never lets the player stand there, so the warp
never fires; the forced COLL_DOOR let the player walk out of the house through
the wall and land in PalletTown.
The repair now fires only when the behavior is unreadable (tileset attrs stopped
before that mid, so Collision.behavior returns nil) or is a behavior pret would
actually warp on. Collision.isWarpMetatileBehavior covers 0x60-0x6F plus 0x71,
matching field_control_avatar.c: the arrow warps (TryArrowWarp), the directional
stair warps (IsDirectionalStairWarpMetatileBehavior), and everything
IsWarpMetatileBehavior accepts (cave door, ladder, fall warp, regular warp,
Lavaridge 1F warp, warp door, escalators, union-room warp).
Warp indexing is unchanged: a dead warp on a wall is still registered, only the
grid write is gated.
tests/engine/firered_house_wall_warp_bug2297.lua is ROM-free: it embeds the pret
13x10 map.bin grid and the `building` metatile attributes, translates them with
the real ScriptingCollision.fromCell, binds the real Versions.WARPS table, and
asserts the wall stays solid, the four warp cells still behave, the repair still
applies for unreadable attrs and live warp behaviors, and an exhaustive
0x00-0xFF table pins the predicate. It fails 6 checks against the pre-fix file.
luajit tests/run_engine.lua: 585/585 suites passed.
