chore: delete unreferenced scripts and archived docs; fix stale doc claims (#607)

* chore(scripts): delete unreferenced helper scripts

None of these is referenced by an installer, systemd unit, CI workflow,
test, the web UI or src/:

- utils/cleanup_venv.sh removes venv_web_v2, which nothing creates
- utils/clear_python_cache.sh hardcodes ~/LEDMatrix and a .webassets-cache
  nothing uses
- install/migrate_config.sh only copies the template, which the installer
  and ConfigManager already do
- install/debug_install.sh, debug/debug_web_manual.py
- diagnose_web_ui.sh and verify_web_ui.sh overlap diagnose_web_interface.sh,
  which the docs point to
- fix_internet_connectivity.sh is iptables-only (stale on nftables)
- diagnose_plugin_permissions.sh, dev/validate_python.py
- download_nba_logos.py + README_NBA_LOGOS.md: logo_downloader fetches
  logos on demand
- setup_plugin_repos.py linked into the production plugin-repos/ dir; the
  dev workflow is scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh, and
  MULTI_ROOT_WORKSPACE_SETUP.md now uses it

* chore(config): drop unused plugin_system flags and a dead unit comment

- config.template.json: remove plugin_system.auto_discover,
  auto_load_enabled and development_mode. Nothing reads them; the web UI
  only stores them when a client sends them. ConfigManager's migration
  only adds template keys, so existing configs keep theirs unchanged.
- config.template.json: re-indent vegas_scroll's live_* keys.
- systemd/ledmatrix.service: remove the comment documenting
  LEDMATRIX_ON_DEMAND_PLUGIN / on_demand_env.conf; nothing reads either.
- CONFIG_REFERENCE.md: say the legacy keys are no longer in the template.

* docs: delete docs/archive and PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md

- docs/archive/: superseded guides; the repository history keeps them
  and no live doc links into the directory. The one open document in it,
  WEB_UI_AUDIT_2026-09.md, moves to docs/audits/ and is linked from the
  docs index.
- PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md invented usage statistics, called
  v2.0.0 current, listed shipped auto-updates as future work and
  documented a BasePlugin.get_config() that does not exist.
- docs/README.md: drop both, and stop telling contributors to archive
  obsolete pages instead of deleting them.

* docs(plugin-api): fix extra_small_font size, cache metric key and scroll pacing example

- PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE: extra_small_font loads at 7, not 6 (crisp_size
  snaps it, src/display_manager.py); get_cache_metrics() returns
  cache_hit_rate, not hit_rate (src/cache/cache_metrics.py).
- ADVANCED_PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT: the basic scrolling example slept in a loop
  and never passed frame_hold; use ScrollHelper + scroll_config.configure()
  and set_scrolling_state(True, frame_hold=...) as PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE does.

* docs(plugin-config): match the config tab, icon and web-action docs to the code

- PLUGIN_CONFIG_QUICK_START / PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS /
  PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE: there is no "Reset to Defaults" button (the
  tab has Refresh, Update, Uninstall, Save Configuration); plugin config
  hot-reloads (ConfigService + on_config_change), so no restart; the
  schema is found by the fixed name config_schema.json, not a manifest
  config_schema field; the tab row is "Plugin Manager", not "Plugins";
  forms are server-rendered from /v3/partials/plugin-config/<id>; the
  duration hook is get_display_duration()/display_duration; a class_name
  mismatch raises PluginError; the store requires id, name, class_name and
  display_modes (not version); plugin_system.debug/log_level do not exist
  (use run.py -d / LEDMATRIX_DEBUG). Drop "future" features that shipped.
- PLUGIN_CONFIG_CORE_PROPERTIES: list all of CORE_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES,
  including skin, skin_options and the vegas_* tuning keys.
- PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS: icon is only a Font Awesome class (fallback
  fa-puzzle-piece); emoji/URL icons and getPluginIcon() never existed in
  v3. Note that /api/v3/plugins/installed currently omits icon.
- PLUGIN_WEB_UI_ACTIONS (+ example JSON): success_message, error_message
  and step1_message are never read.

* docs(store): describe the monorepo registry and the store UI as they are

- PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE: the Plugin Store is a section of the Plugin
  Manager tab; URL installs are "Install from GitHub" -> "Install Single
  Plugin"; bulk update exists (Check & Update All) plus opt-in weekly
  auto-update; PluginStoreManager() defaults to plugins/, so the Python
  examples pass plugin-repos; registry plugins are downloaded (GitHub API,
  ZIP fallback), not cloned; updates compare version with latest_version.
- PLUGIN_REGISTRY_SETUP_GUIDE: replace the per-plugin-repo + tag
  walkthrough with a short page on the monorepo registry (plugin_path,
  latest_version, update_registry.py) that points at the monorepo's own
  SUBMISSION.md. Drops the reference to the deleted
  PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md and setup_plugin_repos.py.
- plugin_registry_template.json: use the real entry shape.
- PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE: automatic background updates exist (opt-in);
  registry example and publishing steps use the monorepo, not tags.
- PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE: tags/releases are not read by the store.

* docs(readme): fix the Triple Bonnet mapping, install prerequisites and backup names

- README: the Adafruit Triple Bonnet uses `regular` (3 outputs), not
  `regular-pi1` (1 output) -- src/matrix_support.py MAPPING_OUTPUTS, and
  the README's own hardware_mapping section; the template default mapping
  is adafruit-hat, the PWM mod switches it to adafruit-hat-pwm; manual
  install only needs git up front (first_time_install.sh installs
  python-dev-is-python3, cmake, ninja-build etc.; cython3/scons are not
  used); the Pi Zero 2 W is a supported low-memory board, consistent with
  PRODUCT.md, LOW_MEMORY_BOARDS.md and the installer's low-memory build;
  fix the "First_time_install.sh" spelling, an orphan "2." list item and
  the hello-world starter link (it lives in the plugins monorepo).
- CONFIG_DEBUGGING: automatic backups are
  config/backups/config.json.backup.<YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_ffffff> (five kept),
  not config_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json.

* docs(dev): correct the test-running and rgbmatrix build instructions

- HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS: coverage is not collected by a plain pytest run and
  pytest.ini has no threshold; the only one is --cov-fail-under=52 in the
  core unit-test job of .github/workflows/test.yml, which runs the whole
  test/ tree (not an allowlist). Almost no tests carry markers, so
  -m integration / -m slow select nothing; drop them and -m unit as the
  quick check. Replace the hardcoded /home/chuck path.
- DEVELOPMENT: the rgbmatrix package is built with pip install . from
  the submodule root (scikit-build-core + CMake + Ninja), as
  first_time_install.sh does; there is no make build-python /
  bindings/python step, and the build deps are python-dev-is-python3,
  cmake and ninja-build, not cython3/scons.

* docs(wifi): the setup AP is open; auto-enable can be turned off without code changes

- WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP / SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: both AP paths in
  src/wifi_manager.py create an open network and nothing reads
  ap_password, so drop the "ledmatrix123" password and the ap_password
  key/advice.
- SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: disabling automatic AP mode does not
  need code changes -- auto_enable_ap_mode is a WiFi-tab toggle and
  POST /api/v3/wifi/ap/auto-enable; note the monitor daemon reads
  wifi_config.json at start, so restart it after changing the setting.
  Use the ledpi username and a relative install path like the other docs.

* docs(reference): add auto_update, drop drifted line numbers, fix UI and service details

- CONFIG_REFERENCE: document the top-level auto_update.enabled key (read
  by web_interface/auto_update.py and src/auto_update_setup.py); replace
  drifted file:line references with function names; the template's
  dim_schedule mode is "global".
- ADVANCED_FEATURES: core does not read a per-plugin background_service
  block (the sports plugins read their own), and priority is "higher
  number = higher priority" on FetchRequest but not used for ordering.
- WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE: the General tab toggle is "Web Display Autostart"
  (web interface service), brightness is 1-100, and config paths are
  relative to the LEDMatrix folder, not /config.

* docs: drop references to code removed in #608

get_installed_plugin_info, WiFiManager's saved_networks and the six
always-skipping plugin test files are deleted there. NetworkManager already
remembers joined networks; LEDMatrix no longer stores WiFi passwords.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: don't link SKIN_SYSTEM.md from the core-properties page

#615 deletes SKIN_SYSTEM.md; with this link, whichever of the two merged
second would break test_doc_links. The skin/skin_options entries go when
#615 removes the keys.

# Web UI Technical Audit — September 2026
Scope: `web_interface/` (Flask + HTMX + Alpine, `templates/v3/`, `static/v3/`).
Method: Impeccable design detector, code review (accessibility; performance,
theming, responsive), and a live pass on the running app at desktop and
375px mobile widths in light and dark themes. Severe claims were verified
against the live page; one was rejected (see below). No code was changed.
Product context: see [`PRODUCT.md`](../../PRODUCT.md).
## Health score: 8/20 (Poor)
| # | Dimension | Score | Key finding |
|---|-----------|-------|-------------|
| 1 | Accessibility | 2 | Focus rings never render; modals have no dialog semantics or focus management |
| 2 | Performance | 2 | ~1.2 MB JS (≈250 KB gzip) on every page; SSE streams and polling never pause |
| 3 | Responsive | 2 | Mobile drawer works; header title wraps to 3 lines; many ~24px touch targets |
| 4 | Theming | 1 | Tokens exist but hex dominates; dark mode is a class-by-class patch with leaks |
| 5 | Implementation integrity | 1 | Templates use Tailwind classes that don't exist in the stylesheet |
## Implementation integrity verdict: fail
There is no Tailwind build. `static/v3/app.css` is a hand-written subset of
Tailwind, while templates and JS are authored as if full Tailwind were loaded.
- **333 of 516 utility class names used have no CSS rule** (2,582 uses),
confirmed against the live stylesheets. Top offenders: `border` (250),
`text-gray-700` (183), `block` (148), `mr-1` (127), `hidden` (79),
`py-1`, `text-blue-600`, `px-2`, `text-center`, `hover:bg-blue-700`,
`divide-y`, `uppercase`, `font-mono`.
- **`.hidden` has never existed in `app.css`**, so the 145
`classList.add/remove/toggle('hidden')` calls across 26 files do nothing.
Visible proof: the header shows both the moon and sun theme icons.
- **15 classes are defined only under `[data-theme="dark"]`** (e.g.
`bg-blue-50`, `bg-red-50`, `bg-yellow-50`, `border-blue-200`,
`text-red-700`), so tinted notice boxes are unstyled in light mode.
- Visible damage: the Getting Started checklist (`partials/overview.html:96-117`)
renders native gray outset buttons in both themes; 32 visible buttons on
the Plugin Manager page render with default browser chrome; search icons
overlap inputs; error/diff modal backdrops are transparent
(`bg-gray-500 bg-opacity-75` undefined).
Other drift:
- Four competing `showNotification` definitions (`app.js:6`,
`app-shell.js:2464`, `widgets/notification.js:298`, `partials/fonts.html:249`)
— the winner depends on load order — plus 53 `alert()`/`confirm()` calls.
- At least four modal implementations (on-demand modal in `base.html:1032`,
Tailwind-UI style in `error_handler.js`/`diff_viewer.js`, `.jfm-*`/`.pfm-*`
with injected CSS, ad-hoc modals in `plugins_manager.js`).
- `.btn` mixed with ~90 hand-assembled color-utility button combos.
- SSE wiring duplicated in `app-shell.js:5-60` and `app.js:186-205`.
## Findings by severity
### P0
**Undefined utility layer** (above). Every show/hide toggle and every layout
built from missing classes silently fails; root cause of most visual bugs.
Fix: replace the hand-rolled subset with a real, purged Tailwind build
(with dark-mode variants), or at minimum define the high-use missing classes
(`hidden`, `border`, `block`, spacing/text utilities) and a button reset.
→ `/impeccable harden`
### P1
- **Focus rings never render.** `focus:ring-2` (`app.css:289-291`) references
`--tw-ring-inset` and `--tw-ring-offset-width`, which are never defined, so
the `box-shadow` is invalid. `focus:outline-none` (18 uses) does remove the
outline. `peer-focus:ring-4` has no rule, so the plugin enable toggle
(`plugins_manager.js:1586-1593`, `sr-only` checkbox) shows no focus.
WCAG 2.4.7.
- **Modals lack dialog semantics.** Only `json-file-manager.js` has
`role="dialog"`/`aria-modal`/Escape/initial focus; none trap focus or
return it. On-demand (`base.html:1032`), error (`error_handler.js:164-205`),
diff (`diff_viewer.js:211-214`), plugin file manager
(`plugin-file-manager.js:372-392, 576-599`), array-table editor
(`array-table.js:460-467`) have none of it. WCAG 2.1.2 / 4.1.2.
- **Unnamed controls.** ~16 icon-only buttons with no accessible name, e.g.
`base.html:1036`, `plugins.html:173,210`, `plugin_config.html:485,656`,
`number-input.js:102,129`, `text-input.js:120`, `date-picker.js:95`,
`time-picker.js:100`, `password-input.js:141`. ~115 of 245 form fields have
no label (hotspots: `plugin_config.html` 19, `starlark_config.html` 14,
`plugins.html` 11); confirmed live on the 11 store search/sort/filter inputs.
- **Captive WiFi setup page** (first-run surface): `#msg` status has no live
region, and `outline:none` is replaced by a 15%-alpha shadow
(`captive_setup.html:16,48`).
- **Background traffic never stops.** `/stream/stats` and `/stream/display`
SSE stay open on every tab (display frames push with no preview visible).
Tab timers keep running after leaving the tab (`display.html:1046` 5s,
`logs.html:222` 5s, `tools.html:987` 15s, `plugins_manager.js:1882` 15s,
update check `base.html:1196` 30min). Only `tools.html:999` checks
`visibilitychange`. Costly on a Pi Zero 2 W.
- **Page weight.** 47 script tags on every page, including all 33 widgets
(`base.html:984-1018`). `app-shell.js` (177 KB) is render-blocking
(`base.html:956`); `plugins_manager.js` is 277 KB.
- **Dark mode leaks.** `plugin-file-manager.js` (53 hex) and
`json-file-manager.js` (63 hex, e.g. `.jfm-modal-box{background:#fff}`)
inject CSS that ignores `data-theme`; `.form-control` hard-codes
`#fff`/`#111827` (`app.css:668-671`). `app.css` has 186 hex + 46 rgb
literals vs 94 `var(--…)` uses.
### P2
- Toasts: `role="alert"` inside an `aria-live="polite"` container
(`notification.js:78,156`) → double/assertive announcements; auto-dismiss 4s.
- `prefers-reduced-motion` covers 3 animations; ~106 `animate-pulse`/`fa-spin`
uses, `modalSlideIn`, and toast slides ignore it.
- Mobile: header title wraps to three lines and spills out of the header;
~33 plugin-card buttons are `text-xs px-2 py-1` (~24px); `#logs-container`
forced to 400/350px with `!important` (`app.css:399-411`).
- Logs panel contrast: `text-gray-400` on `bg-gray-900` ≈ 3.9:1
(`logs.html:75,86`).
- Three unnamed nested `<nav>` landmarks (`base.html:474,477,548`); no skip link.
- Plugin lists fully rebuilt via `innerHTML` on every filter change
(`plugins_manager.js:1554, 3784, 3993, 4389, 5905`); `logs.html:225` adds a
reflow-forcing resize listener on every partial load.
### P3
- No `loading="lazy"` on images; Font Awesome `font-display:block`.
- Unpinned `alpinejs@3.x.x` unpkg fallback (`base.html:241`).
- `widgets/example-color-picker.js` is not loaded anywhere.
- Detector: 3px accent stripe on `.plugin-card::before` (`app.css:721`).
## Verified and rejected
- **"Static assets are never cache-busted" (raised as P0): false.**
`app.py:491` (`@app.url_defaults add_static_version`) appends file mtime as
`?v=` to every static URL; the live HTML confirms it. The manual
`?v=20260307` on two script tags is merely redundant.
- Light-mode gray text contrast is mostly fine: `app.css` remaps grays darker
(4.8–10:1).
- Detector `gray-on-color` hits at `app.css:84,285` and `broken-image` hits
(JS-populated `src`) are not real rendered issues.
## What works
- Theme set before first paint, follows OS preference, `data-theme` + tokens.
- Mobile drawer: Escape closes it, focus returns to the hamburger, 44px rows.
- `aria-current="page"` on nav tabs; real `<header>` and `<main>`.
- Status colors always paired with text; nearly all images have alt text.
- `toggle-switch.js` uses `role="switch"`; vendor assets self-hosted.
## Open decisions (block the P0 fix approach)
Recorded as undecided in `PRODUCT.md`:
- Must the UI work fully offline (no CDN fallbacks)?
- Is a Node/CSS build step acceptable for contributors?
- Is WCAG 2.2 AA a formal requirement?
## Recommended order
1. **[P0] `/impeccable harden`** — fix the utility layer (real Tailwind build
or define missing classes + button reset).
2. **[P1] `/impeccable harden`** — focus-ring variables and `peer-focus`;
one shared accessible modal helper; name icon buttons and label fields;
live region on the captive page.
3. **[P1] `/impeccable optimize`** — pause SSE/timers on hidden tab or page;
load widget scripts on demand.
4. **[P1] `/impeccable colorize`** — move file-manager CSS and `.form-control`
onto theme tokens.
5. **[P2] `/impeccable adapt`** — header wrap, touch targets, log height.
6. **[P2] `/impeccable animate`** — reduced-motion alternatives.
7. **`/impeccable polish`** — final pass.
