Retire the setup-host release model (CI wiped generated/ and shipped
emitters + sources + a wizard so every player regenerated and rebuilt the
title). Titles now commit generated/ and CI ships the compiled game.
- docs/ci/templates/game-release.yml replaces setup-release.yml: gate on
committed game C (tools/ci/check_generated.sh), emit the OpenBIOS backend
in CI (tools/ci/generate_openbios.sh), configure with
PSXRECOMP_REQUIRE_GAME_C=ON and assert the full path was taken, package
with tools/package_game_release.sh, verify the zip is a game not a kit.
- tools/package_game_release.sh: exe, assets, bundled OpenBIOS, configs, mod
catalog + overlay toolchain via release_stage.py, notices; refuses sources,
emitters, generated C, BIOS dumps. clear_generated.sh removed;
package_setup_host.sh marked retired.
- Scaffold: gitignore templates track generated/, package_release.sh.in
wrapper, setup_project.{sh,ps1} commit generated/ after Generate.
- Project Studio: audit flags ignored/untracked generated/, retail BIOS C
and setup-host workflows; merge_gitignore un-ignores generated/; ops emit
the bundled packager + workflow; generate_ci uses the new template.
- Docs: docs/ci/BUNDLED_RELEASES.md replaces HOST_ONLY_RELEASES.md.
- Tests: tools/tests/test_bundled_release_layout.py; fix pre-existing
false positives in the packager-surface and overlay-static tests.

New projects describe themselves to community lists (recomp.board et al.)
via .recomp.json at the repo root: game, system PS1, type recomp,
toolchain psxrecomp, status exploring, and original region + serial.
write_recomp_json.py takes the serial from disc_probe.json and derives
region from the Sony serial prefix, falling back to --region (which
defaults to USA and would mislabel PAL discs). It only fills missing
fields, so re-running it never clobbers a maintainer's edits.
Both gitignore templates ignored /*.json at the root, which would have
silently dropped the file from the initial commit; un-ignore it.
Closes#406

Follow-ups to the marker-skew hardening, closing the remaining legs of
the generate+build loop class:
- Loop breaker: host_prepare_generate stamps a successful generate into
.psxrecomp_last_generate at the project root. When apply() is about to
reopen the wizard because sources are missing and the stamp is recent,
the wizard's prepare note becomes a diagnostic naming exactly which
gate is unmet (the expected *_dispatch.c and/or the BIOS backends) and
what generated/ actually contains, instead of silently asking for
another round. The stamp is dropped once sources are visible so a much
later manual wipe of generated/ reads as a fresh first run.
- Preflight: generate now refuses up front when the project root sits
under the Windows temp directory (Explorer's run-from-inside-the-ZIP
extraction, which evaporates) or is not writable, with instructions,
instead of failing downstream in ways that present as the same loop.
- CI lint: tools/ci/check_boot_exe.sh cross-checks the three baked
copies of the boot-EXE name (game.toml boot_exe/exe, CMakeLists
GEN_MARKER, codegen_setup.c gen_marker_relpath) and the setup-release
template gains a fail-fast "Lint boot-EXE name consistency" step, so a
skew fails the maintainer's release instead of the player's install.
op_emit_ci_workflow's step-name drift detection flags older titles
automatically. Script is bash-3.2-clean for macOS runners; verified
against fixture repos (consistent / skewed / boot_exe override /
single-source) and real ports - where it immediately caught
Tomba2Recomp's placeholder gen_marker_relpath ("SLUS_01234" vs
SCUS_944.54), a live instance of the reported loop.
Both gitignore templates learn the new sidecar names.
