Remove cover-gated navigation, reduce UI-thread image and delegate work, and add measured startup/navigation diagnostics. Resolve digital framebuffer size from active MiSTer output so 1080p uses an integer-scaled 960x540 scene. Co-authored-by: Giancarlo Erra <giancarlo@widescreen.studio>

117-127: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winWiden the fixed wait in the negative fallback-text assertion.
This test proves the fallback text never appears, using
wait(20)before checkingfallback.opacity. A fixed 20 ms wait only rules out a flash occurring in that narrow window. On slower hardware, such as the MiSTer ARM32 target this project verifies against, or under CI load, the image-error signal can take longer to reach the tile and a later flash would go undetected.Increase the wait to match the 500 ms window already used in the adjacent positive-case test (
test_missing_system_logo_attempts_load_then_shows_text_on_error), so both tests exercise the same real timing budget.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Invalidate all Games roles when first-page rows are replaced, keep centered native text on integer geometry, and scale grid thresholds with the logical viewport. Deduplicate inline image fallback, derive batch limits from the shared constant, and harden delayed fallback coverage.
Record indexed media counts now populated by the catalog fixture helper so CI matches the intentional filtered catalog shape.

Indexing is a true background process in Core, but the frontend never
said so, and the one string that mentioned artwork was false.
- SettingsScreen's "Scrape metadata" row claimed it "Downloads box art,
descriptions, and tags". Core imports local files and downloads
nothing; zaparoo.org's troubleshooting page has to state that three
separate times, which is what leaving it unsaid here costs.
- Every metadata entry point now reads "Get metadata" and routes through
the setup modal, pre-scoped. The system and category context entries
previously bypassed the modal entirely with scraper_id "gamelist.xml"
and force: false hardcoded, so the user's source, scope and replace
choices were silently ignored. Entry points stay source-agnostic
because the mechanism is a property of the chosen source; the modal
commits to it ("Start import") once one is picked.
- New game-level "Get metadata" entry on games, favorites and recents.
A coverless game is the moment a user goes looking for artwork, and
this is the menu they open. Core scrapes by system, not by game
(MediaScrapeParams is { scraperId, systems, force }), so it scopes to
the containing system, and routing through the modal means that wider
scope is visible rather than silent.
- The modal carries the prerequisite and a docs link; Settings > About
gained a Documentation row with a scannable code. A QR is unreadable
at 240p over composite, so the URL leads and the code accelerates.
- HubScreen's empty state always read "No systems available. Run Update
media database from Settings." During a first index that is false and
reads as a failure report. It now gates on MediaStatus.indexing and
names the operation the Settings row uses, so the first thing a new
user reads teaches the name of the thing they later go looking for.
- ScreenStateOverlay's empty state gained the detail line its error
state already had. Its title had no width or wrapMode, so the old
58-character string laid out at natural width and overflowed a 320px
240p frame instead of wrapping.
- IndexSetupModal and ScrapeSetupModal had no helpEntries branch, so the
help bar advertised the Settings screen's rows while a modal owned
input. Both now expose focusedActionLabel and the bar describes the
press, not the feature.
- Dropped the 3-8 ContextMenu entry cap from docs and code. It was
stale: rowViewport scrolls and move() wraps, so the last entry is one
press up from the first. Fit at 240p is the real test, not a count.
- Removed FirstRunIndexModal residue from 17 catalogs and two stale
comments; the component went in #377. Mock Core gained a `scrapers`
handler, without which the Source picker is always empty off-device.

* fix(settings): keep the Get metadata hint inside the two-line band
"Imports artwork, descriptions, and details from files you already
have. Zaparoo does not download them." wrapped to a third line in the
settings hint band, so `Text` dropped the line that didn't fit and
elided the one before it -- the user read a cut-off sentence.
`test_no_settings_description_is_truncated` and its CRT-tier twin both
caught it.
Drop "descriptions", which matches the wording ScrapeSetupModal's own
prerequisite line already uses ("Zaparoo imports artwork and details
from files you already have. It does not download them.") and leaves
the claim intact: what mattered was that the import is local, not the
enumeration of what it imports.
* fix(settings): wire the Documentation row's accept to the router
The row shipped with a `requestAccept("documentation")` handler in
Main.qml and with its id already listed in `focusedFieldIsAction`, so
the help bar promised "Open" -- but `fieldCommit.onDeferred` had no
branch to emit the signal. Both accept paths (keyboard `handleAction`
and the row's `onAccepted`) converge on that dispatch, so both fell
through to `_openPickerForField`, which has no "documentation" case
and returns silently. Pressing the row did nothing.
`_fieldControl` also returned the default "picker" for it. Group it
with `aboutLicense` and `crtCalibration` as "navigate" instead: the
verb the help bar already shows is "Open", the press opens something
rather than cycling a value, and it keeps the id out of the picker
path entirely.
The regression test drives the real accept path rather than emitting
the signal directly -- the dead branch was in the screen's dispatch,
not in the router.
* chore: move the commercial contact to zaparoo.com
Updates the commercial-licensing and Qt LGPL re-linking contact address
across the README, CLA, contributing guide, the Qt LGPL notice, and the
two places it is user-visible in the app (CommercialNoticeModal and the
About screen).
Text only; no licensing terms change.
* fix(ui): give the list picker real width slack
The Source picker truncated "MiSTer docs databases" with most of the
panel still empty. The panel is content-driven, but it sized to exactly
the widest label: `_widestEntryLabelWidth` and each row's own
`_textWidth` both add the same `Sizing.stroke(2)` hinting allowance, so
the two cancelled and the widest entry got its measured width and not
one pixel more. `Text` then elides wherever the hinted integer glyph
advances paint wider than `advanceWidth()`'s fractional, unhinted total,
which varies by font build, weight synthesis and hinting -- so it looked
fine on one machine and truncated on another.
Chasing that difference exactly is unwinnable, and a panel tuned until
one label fits just truncates whichever scraper Core adds next. Take an
em and a half of slack instead: it scales with the text being measured
(the error scales with glyph size, not with the screen) and costs a
slightly wider panel, which is the cheap side of the trade for a list
whose whole job is showing names.
The tests assert the invariant rather than a measurement -- five label
lengths up to 34 characters, entry counts 2 to 5, at 720p, 480p and the
CRT tier, each row checked while selected (panel sizing is fixed at
Font.Medium, the selected weight). They require the full clearance to be
present, not merely that nothing elided: an exact fit passes
`!truncated` wherever hinting rounds down and fails wherever it rounds
up, which is how this shipped looking correct.
The second test covers re-measurement when the resolution setting lands
after startup. Reading the font inputs into locals instead of passing
them as arguments to `_measureLabelWidth` froze the panel at its
construction-time width -- the argument form is load-bearing exactly as
its comment says, and this now guards that.
Also drops the "Zaparoo imports artwork and details..." paragraph from
the Get metadata modal for a labeled docs line, so the four rows keep
their room at 240p.

Summary
Motivation
Builds on measurements and useful UI work from #360 while replacing its direct-database approach with Core-owned APIs from ZaparooProject/zaparoo-core#1239. Co-authored with @giancarloerra; hidden-grid suspension and follow-up performance work preserve his contribution and credit.
Paired wrapper change: ZaparooProject/Main_MiSTer#15
Ref #359
Ref #360
Screenshots / recordings
No recording attached. Hardware verification used the target MiSTer and 1080p monitor; startup now settles at a 960x540 framebuffer and exact 2x output scale.
