  • List Core virtual systems (custom launchers and MiSTer built-ins) in the Library tab's system list. A system is kept when it has a ZapScript or indexed media, matching zaparoo-frontend, so real systems with no media stay hidden.
  • Add an includeLaunchables opt-in to CoreAPI.systems so search pickers, SystemSelector and the other system lists keep excluding virtual systems.
  • Open a sheet for a virtual system with Write and Launch actions instead of linking to the browse page, which Core rejects for virtual system IDs.
  • Disable Launch in both Library sheets unless Core is live-connected, so tapping it while reconnecting no longer waits out the 30-second request timeout.
  • Share NFC write availability between the Library sheets through a useNfcWriteAvailable hook, and add library.zapScript and library.launchSystemError strings for all locales.

Closes #251

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for virtual, launchable systems in the Library.
    • Launch virtual systems directly from the Library, with loading and error feedback.
    • View ZapScript details and write them to compatible tokens.
    • Added localized labels and launch-error messages.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Launch actions are disabled while Core reconnects or when token writing is unavailable.
    • Systems without media remain hidden unless they are launchable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The library now includes virtual systems with valid ZapScripts. Users can open a launchable-system modal, run its ZapScript, or queue it for writing. Launches require a connected Core. Write availability uses device NFC or a Core reader.

Virtual system library support

Layer / File(s) Summary
System filtering and API contracts
src/lib/systemFilters.ts, src/lib/coreApi.ts, src/__tests__/unit/lib/systemFilters.test.ts, src/__tests__/unit/coreApi.internals.test.ts
The app identifies launchable systems by non-blank zapScript values. Core and catalog filters can include launchable systems without including ordinary empty systems.
Library catalog integration
src/routes/library.index.tsx, src/routes/library.$system.tsx, src/__tests__/unit/routes/library.index.test.tsx
Library queries request launchables. Launchable systems render as buttons and open the launchable modal. Regular systems remain links. Tests cover listing, empty states, launching, errors, and writes.
Launch, write, and connection actions
src/components/library/LibraryLaunchableModal.tsx, src/components/library/LibraryMediaDetailsModal.tsx, src/hooks/useNfcWriteAvailable.ts, src/__tests__/unit/components/library/LibraryMediaDetailsModal.test.tsx, src/translations/*.json
The new modal runs or queues a system ZapScript. Actions are disabled during reconnecting states or when write capability is unavailable. Shared NFC capability logic and launch error translations were added.

Users can select Write when no writer is currently available, and malformed virtual systems can reappear in non-Library system results. Both are localized fixes that should be made before merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The pull request implements the top-level Library inclusion rule, hides explicit zero-count real systems, provides Write and Launch actions, prevents virtual-system browse links, and updates Library empty-state counting. However, src/routes/library.$system.tsx now calls CoreAPI.systems(undefined, { includeLaunchables: true }). This browse-oriented route must keep virtual systems excluded under #251. The added tests cover the top-level Library behavior but do not establish exclusion in this route.

Resolution

Use the default launchable-excluding systems query in src/routes/library.$system.tsx unless the route has a demonstrated non-browse use for launchables. Add a regression test that browse-oriented system lists do not include virtual systems.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Most changes support #251, including filtering, the Library action sheet, ZapScript writing, connection gating, NFC availability, tests, and localization. The includeLaunchables: true change in src/routes/library.$system.tsx expands a browse-oriented route beyond the requested top-level Library list and conflicts with the issue's stated exclusion of virtual systems from browse-oriented lists.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 20.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 10 functions across 11 files. (9 skipped: 9 unsupported.)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

CoreAPI.systems() now removes only non-blank ZapScripts. A virtual system whose zapScript is whitespace therefore bypasses the default exclusion and can reach every non-Library caller, even though it cannot be launched. Preserve the virtual-system exclusion independently of launchability, and apply the non-blank predicate only when opting into Library launchables.

- Only report a Core reader as write-capable while Core is live-connected, so a cached result no longer keeps Write enabled while reconnecting or disconnected.
- Exclude every virtual system from CoreAPI.systems by default, including ones with a blank ZapScript, and add only non-blank ones when includeLaunchables is set.
