fix(security): re-harden root sudo helpers; installer fixes; ARCHITECTURE and PERMISSIONS docs (#640)
* docs: add ARCHITECTURE and PERMISSIONS guides ARCHITECTURE.md maps the processes, the state the display and web services share through the cache, the display loop, the plugin system, the web UI and the update path, with links into the code and a where-to-start table. PERMISSIONS.md lists who owns what after install, both sudoers files (and why iptables is not granted), the polkit rule, and which scripts/fix_perms script to run as which user. Both are linked from the docs index, along with the MQTT bridge README and src/common/README.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: correct stale setup, service and troubleshooting claims - README: quick actions run systemctl on ledmatrix.service (run.py), not display_controller.py; use_short_date_format has no effect; the installer uses system pip with --break-system-packages, not a venv. - CONFIG_DEBUGGING: LEDMATRIX_DEBUG must be "true"; logs are in journald. - GETTING_STARTED, WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE, TROUBLESHOOTING: enabling a plugin, plugin settings, brightness and Vegas settings apply without a restart; matrix hardware settings still need one. - TROUBLESHOOTING: install dependencies with sudo so the root service sees them; point permission problems at PERMISSIONS.md instead of a project-wide chown. - ADVANCED_FEATURES: real BackgroundDataService stats keys; Vegas hooks return VegasDisplayMode and None falls back to capture; cache files are 0660; fix_web_permissions.sh runs as the web user and does not touch sudoers. - STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE: only the linux-arm64 pixlet binary is downloaded. - HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS: test class examples that exist. - CLAUDE.md: PluginStoreManager, plugin_dirs.py, monorepo installs via the Trees API with ZIP fallback, requirements.txt is optional. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: mark deprecated plugin APIs and state manifest fields once Methods @deprecated("3.7.0") (the set pinned in test_deprecation.py) were shown as current API in the quick reference, API reference, advanced guide, development guide and FONT_MANAGER. Each is now marked deprecated with its replacement. FONT_MANAGER is rewritten around the current API; the override editor is gone and override methods are deprecated. Required manifest fields were stated three different ways. The API reference now has one section: the 7 schema-required fields, the 4 the store refuses without, class_name for the loader, and the 8 to set. The other guides link to it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: document every src/common module and every widget - src/common/README.md covered 7 of 17 modules. It now has a table of all of them (purpose, whether plugins import it, release to floor on), a short entry each, and logging advice that matches the code. - SPORTS_UNIFICATION listed two shared modules and called sports_helpers the first; it now lists all six. - The widgets README lists all 28 registered widgets plus the support files, and absorbs the parts that only docs/widget-guide.md had (x-options.labels, x-advanced, x-display hidden, plugin-file-manager). docs/widget-guide.md is now a pointer to it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): fix_web_permissions.sh re-hardens the root sudo helpers The script chowns the whole project to the web user. That included scripts/fix_perms/safe_plugin_rm.sh and safe_pip_install.sh -- the two helpers /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web lets the web user run as root -- so running it turned both into a root shell for whoever can edit them. It also re-grouped config_secrets.json away from ledmatrix. After the chown it now does what first_time_install.sh's Steps 11 and 11.1 do: helpers back to root:root 755, and config_secrets.json back to the web unit's User=:ledmatrix 640. Each step is non-fatal and prints the manual command if it fails. Also fixes what the script and its docs claimed: it never configured sudoers, its closing hint pointed at ./configure_web_sudo.sh (wrong path), and the README and ADVANCED_FEATURES.md said to run it with sudo, which it refuses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): validate and harden every sudoers drop-in the scripts write configure_wifi_permissions.sh copied its rules into /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_wifi without `visudo -c`. A malformed drop-in makes sudo refuse every command for every user, which on a headless Pi leaves no way back in. It now checks first and leaves the installed file alone when the rules do not parse, as the other two writers do. (It already used mktemp, so that part of the review did not apply.) It also grants the two literal commands wifi_manager.py runs for NetworkManager's shared-mode dnsmasq drop-in -- `cp /tmp/ledmatrix-nm-dnsmasq.conf .../dnsmasq-shared.d/ledmatrix-captive.conf` and `rm -f` of that file. The directory's mkdir was granted, the file was not. Both are pinned in test_sudo_allowlist_covers_calls.py. configure_web_sudo.sh wrote its rules to /tmp/ledmatrix_web_sudoers_$$, a predictable name in a world-writable directory; it now uses mktemp with an EXIT trap, as first_time_install.sh does. It sets mode 440 on the installed file instead of leaving the temp file's mode, and finds visudo in /usr/sbin when that is not on the user's PATH, which skipped the check silently. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(install): escape the project path in the DNS-fix and MQTT unit renderers install_dns_fix.sh and install_mqtt_bridge.sh substituted __PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__ with the raw path, while the other three renderers go through sed_escape_replacement from lib_systemd_render.sh. A checkout under a path containing `&`, `\` or `|` rendered a corrupted unit from these two only. Both now source the helper and use it, and a test checks that every placeholder substitution in scripts/install uses an escaped value. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(install): stop the installer scripts reporting things that are not true - first_time_install.sh printed "Password: ledmatrix123" for the setup access point. wifi_manager creates it as an open network ("No password" on the panel), so it now says so. - Step 10.1 printed "✓ WiFi management permissions configured" straight after its own failure message; install_wifi_monitor.sh printed "✓ Package installation completed" after a failed apt install. The tick now only follows success. - Step 7 printed "Web dependencies already installed ... in Step 5" in the one branch that runs because Step 5 did not install them, then created .web_deps_installed on that basis. It now warns and leaves the marker off so the next run retries, as the comment below it intends. - check_system_compatibility.sh called Debian 12 Bookworm "full compatibility confirmed" while first_time_install.sh refuses anything but Debian 13. Bookworm, older Debian and non-Debian systems are now errors. Its counters used ((X++)), which under `set -e` exits the script at the first warning or error (the expression is 0), so the check never reached its summary on any system with one. - configure_web_sudo.sh and configure_wifi_permissions.sh finished by testing `sudo -n test -f ...` and `sudo -n nmcli device status`, neither of which is granted, so they always reported a failure. They now ask `sudo -n -l` about commands the new rules do grant, which checks the rule without running anything. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(install): print the completion summary before rebooting With -y -- and so for every one-shot `curl | bash` install, which always passes -y -- first_time_install.sh ran `reboot` about 180 lines before its "Installation Complete / Web UI Access" summary. reboot returns at once, so the summary printed while the Pi was going down and the SSH session usually dropped before the web UI address could be read. The reboot block moves, unchanged, to the very end of the script. The interactive prompt now also follows the summary. Because the summary now runs before the -y reboot, its one command that could fail under `set -Eeuo pipefail` (the SSID lookup, when nmcli reports a connected device but no active network line) gets `|| true`; a missing SSID was already handled as "SSID unknown". one-shot-install.sh prints its "Next steps" after the installer returns, by which time the reboot is under way, so it now says so, and README's Quick Install mentions the automatic reboot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(scripts): correct wrong comments and messages, drop dead code No behaviour change except the output text noted below. - 2775 is setgid, not the sticky bit (first_time_install.sh Step 3.1, fix_plugin_permissions.sh), and root needs no "PWM hardware access" to plugin files. - The 777 comments in first_time_install.sh Step 3's fallback and fix_assets_permissions.sh said root needs it to write. Root ignores mode bits; the comments now say what 777 actually opens. The 777 itself is unchanged. - apt_remove ends in `|| true`, so Step 12's "Some packages could not be removed" branch could never run; it is gone and the helper stays non-fatal. - detect_web_service_user's comment named Step 8 for the web unit (install_service.sh installs it in Step 7.5) and now says which branch actually runs. - Step 5 described an "already installed" check that does not exist; the ACTUAL_USER comment described the re-exec backwards. - on_error printed a literal "\n" before "Common fixes:". - Dead code: one-shot-install.sh's uncalled fix_tmp_permissions, LEDMATRIX_ELEVATED=1 (never read) on the sudo re-exec, and configure_web_sudo.sh's unused PYTHON_PATH, which also made a missing python3 fatal for rules that never mention it. - start_display.sh / stop_display.sh said "for user: <you>"; the service runs as root. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(fix_perms): fix_cache_permissions.sh uses setup_cache.sh's model There were two models for /var/cache/ledmatrix. setup_cache.sh (the installer's Step 2) and install_web_service.sh share it through the ledmatrix group: root:ledmatrix, 2775, files 660, which is also what DiskCache relies on to give files the directory's group. fix_cache_permissions.sh instead made it 777 and re-grouped it to the invoking user's group, undoing that. It now runs setup_cache.sh for /var/cache/ledmatrix and keeps its own handling of ~/.ledmatrix_cache. Dropped: /var/cache/ledmatrix/ placeholder_logos (nothing reads it) and the checks against the `daemon` user (no service runs as daemon). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci: pin actions/checkout in the Claude workflows, drop template comments claude.yml and claude-code-review.yml used actions/checkout@v4 while test.yml and release-version-check.yml pin the v4.2.2 commit SHA; they now pin the same SHA. The commented-out starter-template settings (prompt, claude_args, paths, author filter) are removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(scripts): index every script and list removal candidates New scripts/README.md gives one line per top-level script and scripts directory, marked keep, dev-only or diagnostic, and lists the eight scripts nothing in the repo refers to as candidates for removal (kept for now). The install, utils and dev READMEs now list the files they were missing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: tighten two checks that mutation testing showed were too loose - The wifi sudoers check matched `visudo -c -f "$TEMP_SUDOERS"` in the error report too, so replacing the check with `if false` still passed. It now requires the command as the condition. - The summary test never had the setup access point up, so reinstating the bogus "Password: ledmatrix123" line went unnoticed. A case with hostapd active now checks the AP is described as open.

fix(starlark): blank app locations use the device location, not San Francisco (#617)
* fix(starlark): blank app locations use the device location, not San Francisco A Starlark (Tidbyt) app whose Location field is blank rendered at its author's hard-coded DEFAULT_LOCATION -- usually San Francisco -- even with the device city set under General settings. A user in Charlotte, NC got San Francisco weather and radar with nothing in config.json to explain it. src/device_location.py fills unset location fields at render time (display plugin and the web standalone render): the device city is geocoded once via Open-Meteo, preferring a match in the configured state/country, and cached permanently. A saved location always wins; if the lookup fails the field is dropped so the app uses its own default, and the failure is not retried for 30 minutes. Also fixes the config form: clearing a location omitted the key, and the save merges, so the old value could never be removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(starlark): say what happens when the device location can't be used A blank app Location only renders at the device's city when one is set and the Open-Meteo lookup finds it. With no city, no match, or the geocoder unreachable (retried after 30 minutes), the app gets no location and keeps its author's default. The guide, the config page hint, CONFIG_REFERENCE and the CHANGELOG entry now say so.

docs: refresh and correct stale documentation across repo (#306)
* docs: refresh and correct stale documentation across repo
Walked the README and docs/ tree against current code and fixed several
real bugs and many stale references. Highlights:
User-facing
- README.md: web interface install instructions referenced
install_web_service.sh at the repo root, but it actually lives at
scripts/install/install_web_service.sh.
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: every web UI port reference said 5050, but
the real server in web_interface/start.py:123 binds 5000. Same bug
was duplicated in docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md (17 occurrences). Fixed
both.
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: rewrote tab-by-tab instructions. The doc
referenced "Plugin Store", "Plugin Management", "Sports Configuration",
"Durations", and "Font Management" tabs - none of which exist. Real
tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html) are: Overview,
General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor, Fonts, Logs, Cache,
Operation History, Plugin Manager (+ per-plugin tabs).
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: removed references to a "Test Display"
button (doesn't exist) and "Show Now" / "Stop" plugin buttons. Real
controls are "Run On-Demand" / "Stop On-Demand" inside each plugin's
tab (partials/plugin_config.html:792).
- docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md: removed dead reference to
troubleshoot_weather.sh (doesn't exist anywhere in the repo); weather
is now a plugin in ledmatrix-plugins.
Developer-facing
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: documented draw_image() doesn't exist
on DisplayManager. Real plugins paste onto display_manager.image
directly (verified in src/base_classes/{baseball,basketball,football,
hockey}.py). Replaced with the canonical pattern.
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: documented cache_manager.delete() doesn't
exist. Real method is clear_cache(key=None). Updated the section.
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: added 10 missing BasePlugin methods that
the doc never mentioned: dynamic-duration hooks, live-priority hooks,
and the full Vegas-mode interface.
- docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md: same draw_image fix.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: corrected the "Plugin Submodules" section. Plugins
are NOT git submodules - .gitmodules only contains
rpi-rgb-led-matrix-master. Plugins are installed at runtime into the
plugins directory configured by plugin_system.plugins_directory
(default plugin-repos/). Both internal links in this doc were also
broken (missing relative path adjustment).
- docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md: removed pytest-timeout from install line
(not in requirements.txt) and corrected the test/integration/ path
(real integration tests are at test/web_interface/integration/).
Replaced the fictional file structure diagram with the real one.
- docs/EMULATOR_SETUP_GUIDE.md: clone URL was a placeholder; default
pixel_size was documented as 16 but emulator_config.json ships with 5.
Index
- docs/README.md: rewrote. Old index claimed "16-17 files after
consolidation" but docs/ actually has 38 .md files. Four were missing
from the index entirely (CONFIG_DEBUGGING, DEV_PREVIEW,
PLUGIN_ERROR_HANDLING, STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE). Trimmed the navel-gazing
consolidation/statistics sections.
Out of scope but worth flagging:
- src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:343 and src/common/api_helper.py:287
call cache_manager.delete(key) but no such method exists on
CacheManager. Both call sites would AttributeError at runtime if hit.
Not fixed in this docs PR - either add a delete() shim or convert
callers to clear_cache().

* docs: fix WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE and WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP
WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md
- Web UI port: 5050 -> 5000 (4 occurrences)
- Tab list was almost entirely fictional. Documented tabs:
General Settings, Display Settings, Durations, Sports Configuration,
Plugin Management, Plugin Store, Font Management. None of these
exist. Real tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html:
935-1000): Overview, General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor,
Fonts, Logs, Cache, Operation History, plus Plugin Manager and
per-plugin tabs in the second nav row. Rewrote the navigation
section, the General/Display/Plugin sections, and the Common Tasks
walkthroughs to match.
- Quick Actions list referenced "Test Display" button (doesn't exist).
Replaced with the real button list verified in
partials/overview.html:88-152: Start/Stop Display, Restart Display
Service, Restart Web Service, Update Code, Reboot, Shutdown.
- API endpoints used /api/* paths. The api_v3 blueprint mounts at
/api/v3 (web_interface/app.py:144), so the real paths are
/api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/system/status, etc. Fixed.
- Removed bogus "Sports Configuration tab" walkthrough; sports
favorites live inside each scoreboard plugin's own tab now.
- Plugin directory listed as /plugins/. Real default is plugin-repos/
(verified in config/config.template.json:130 and
display_controller.py:132); plugins/ is a fallback.
- Removed "Swipe navigation between tabs" mobile claim (not implemented).
WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP.md
- 21 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000.
- All /api/wifi/* curl examples used the wrong path. The real wifi
API routes are at /api/v3/wifi/* (api_v3.py:6367-6609). Fixed.
- ap_password default was documented as "" (empty/open network) but
config/wifi_config.json ships with "ledmatrix123". Updated the
Quick Start, Configuration table, AP Mode Settings section, and
Security Recommendations to match. Also clarified that setting
ap_password to "" is the way to make it an open network.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: fix ADVANCED_FEATURES and REST_API_REFERENCE
REST_API_REFERENCE.md
- Wrong path: /fonts/delete/<font_family> -> /fonts/<font_family>
(verified the real DELETE route in
web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py).
- Diffed the documented routes against the real api_v3 blueprint
(92 routes vs the 71 documented). Added missing sections:
- Error tracking (/errors/summary, /errors/plugin/<id>, /errors/clear)
- Health (/health)
- Schedule dim/power (/config/dim-schedule GET/POST)
- Plugin-specific endpoints (calendar/list-calendars,
of-the-day/json/upload+delete, plugins/<id>/static/<path>)
- Starlark Apps (12 endpoints: status, install-pixlet, apps CRUD,
repository browse/install, upload)
- Font preview (/fonts/preview)
- Updated table of contents with the new sections.
- Added a footer note that the API blueprint mounts at /api/v3
(app.py:144) and that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on
the Flask app at app.py:607-615.
ADVANCED_FEATURES.md
- Vegas Scroll Mode section was actually accurate (verified all
config keys match src/vegas_mode/config.py:15-30).
- On-Demand Display section had multiple bugs:
- 5 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000
- All API paths missing /v3 (e.g. /api/display/on-demand/start
should be /api/v3/display/on-demand/start)
- "Settings -> Plugin Management -> Show Now Button" UI flow doesn't
exist. Real flow: open the plugin's tab in the second nav row,
click Run On-Demand / Stop On-Demand.
- "Python API Methods" section showed
controller.show_on_demand() / clear_on_demand() /
is_on_demand_active() / get_on_demand_info() — none of these
methods exist on DisplayController. The on-demand machinery is
all internal (_set_on_demand_*, _activate_on_demand, etc) and
is driven through the cache_manager. Replaced the section with
a note pointing to the REST API.
- All Use Case Examples used the same fictional Python calls.
Replaced with curl examples against the real API.
- Cache Management section claimed "On-demand display uses Redis cache
keys". LEDMatrix doesn't use Redis — verified with grep that
src/cache_manager.py has no redis import. The cache is file-based,
managed by CacheManager (file at /var/cache/ledmatrix/ or fallback
paths). Rewrote the manual recovery section:
- Removed redis-cli commands
- Replaced cache.delete() Python calls with cache.clear_cache()
(the real public method per the same bug already flagged in
PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md)
- Replaced "Settings -> Cache Management" with the real Cache tab
- Documented the actual cache directory candidates
- Background Data Service section:
- Used "nfl_scoreboard" as the plugin id in the example.
The real plugin is "football-scoreboard" (handles both NFL and
NCAA). Fixed.
- "Implementation Status: Phase 1 NFL only / Phase 2 planned"
section was severely outdated. The background service is now
used by all sports scoreboards (football, hockey, baseball,
basketball, soccer, lacrosse, F1, UFC), the odds ticker, and
the leaderboard plugin. Replaced with a current "Plugins using
the background service" note.

* docs: fix plugin config + store + dependency docs
PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md
- 19 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000
- All API paths missing /v3 (e.g. /api/plugins/install ->
/api/v3/plugins/install). Bulk fix.
PLUGIN_REGISTRY_SETUP_GUIDE.md
- Same port + /api/v3 fixes (3 occurrences each)
- "Go to Plugin Store tab" -> "Open the Plugin Manager tab and scroll
to the Install from GitHub section" (the real flow for registry
setup is the GitHub install section, not the Plugin Store search)
PLUGIN_CONFIG_QUICK_START.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000 (5001 is the dev_server.py default, not the web UI)
- "Plugin Store tab" install flow -> real Plugin Manager + Plugin Store
section + per-plugin tab in second nav row
- Removed reference to PLUGIN_CONFIG_TABS_SUMMARY.md (archived doc)
PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS.md
- "Plugin Management vs Configuration" section confusingly described
a "Plugins Tab" that doesn't exist as a single thing. Rewrote to
describe the real two-piece structure: Plugin Manager tab (browse,
install, toggle) vs per-plugin tabs (configure individual plugins).
PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_GUIDE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000
PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- Wrong port (8080) and wrong UI nav ("Plugin Store or Plugin
Management"). Fixed to the real flow.
PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- "Plugin Location: ./plugins/ directory" -> default is plugin-repos/
(verified in config/config.template.json:130 and
display_controller.py:132). plugins/ is a fallback.
- File structure diagram showed plugins/ -> plugin-repos/.
- Web UI install flow: "Plugin Store tab" -> "Plugin Manager tab ->
Plugin Store section". Also fixed Configure ⚙️ button (doesn't
exist) and "Drag and drop reorder" (not implemented).
- API examples: replaced ad-hoc Python pseudocode with real curl
examples against /api/v3/plugins/* endpoints. Pointed at
REST_API_REFERENCE.md for the full list.
- "Migration Path Phase 1-5" was a roadmap written before the plugin
system shipped. The plugin system is now stable and live. Removed
the migration phases as they're history, not a roadmap.
- "Quick Migration" section called scripts/migrate_to_plugins.py
which doesn't exist anywhere in the repo. Removed.
- "Plugin Registry Structure" referenced
ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugin-registry which doesn't exist. The
real registry is ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins. Fixed.
- "Next Steps" / "Questions to Resolve" sections were
pre-implementation planning notes. Replaced with a "Known
Limitations" section that documents the actually-real gaps
(sandboxing, resource limits, ratings, auto-updates).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: fix misc remaining docs (architecture, dev quickref, sub-dir READMEs)
PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md
- Added a banner at the top noting this is a historical design doc
written before the plugin system shipped. The doc is ~1900 lines
with 13 stale /api/plugins/* paths (real is /api/v3/plugins/*),
references to web_interface_v2.py (current is app.py), and a
Migration Strategy / Implementation Roadmap that's now history.
Banner points readers at the current docs
(PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE, PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE,
REST_API_REFERENCE) without needing to retrofit every section.
PLUGIN_CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE.md
- 10 occurrences of /api/plugins/* missing /v3 prefix. Bulk fixed.
DEVELOPER_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- cache_manager.delete("key") -> cache_manager.clear_cache("key")
with comment noting delete() doesn't exist. Same bug already
documented in PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md.
SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL.md
- 4 occurrences of port 5001 -> 5000 in AP-mode and Ethernet/WiFi
recovery instructions.
PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000.
CONFIG_DEBUGGING.md
- Documented /api/v3/config/plugin/<id> and /api/v3/config/validate
endpoints don't exist. Replaced with the real endpoints:
/api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=,
/api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=. Added a note that validation
runs server-side automatically on POST.
STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE.md
- "Plugins -> Starlark Apps" UI navigation path doesn't exist (5
occurrences). Replaced with the real path: Plugin Manager tab,
then the per-plugin Starlark Apps tab in the second nav row.
- "Navigate to Plugins" install step -> Plugin Manager tab.
web_interface/README.md
- Documented several endpoints that don't exist in the api_v3
blueprint:
- GET /api/v3/plugins (list) -> /api/v3/plugins/installed
- GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> -> doesn't exist
- POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config -> POST /api/v3/plugins/config
- GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable + /disable -> POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle
- GET /api/v3/store/plugins -> /api/v3/plugins/store/list
- POST /api/v3/store/install/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/install
- POST /api/v3/store/uninstall/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall
- POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/update
- POST /api/v3/display/start/stop/restart -> POST /api/v3/system/action
- GET /api/v3/display/status -> GET /api/v3/system/status
- Also fixed config/secrets.json -> config/config_secrets.json
- Replaced the per-section endpoint duplication with a current real
endpoint list and a pointer to docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md.
- Documented that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the
Flask app at app.py:607-615, not in the api_v3 blueprint.
scripts/install/README.md
- Was missing 3 of the 9 install scripts in the directory:
one-shot-install.sh, configure_wifi_permissions.sh, and
debug_install.sh. Added them with brief descriptions.

PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md
- Added a "Plugin directory note" callout near the top explaining
the plugins/ vs plugin-repos/ split:
- Dev workflow uses plugins/ (where dev_plugin_setup.sh creates
symlinks)
- Production / Plugin Store uses plugin-repos/ (the configurable
default per config.template.json:130)
- The plugin loader falls back to plugins/ so dev symlinks are
picked up automatically (schema_manager.py:77)
- User can set plugins_directory to "plugins" in the General tab
if they want both to share a directory
CLAUDE.md
- The Project Structure section had plugins/ and plugin-repos/
exactly reversed:
- Old: "plugins/ - Installed plugins directory (gitignored)"
"plugin-repos/ - Development symlinks to monorepo plugin dirs"
- Real: plugin-repos/ is the canonical Plugin Store install
location and is not gitignored. plugins/* IS gitignored
(verified in .gitignore) and is the legacy/dev location used by
scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh.
Reversed the descriptions and added line refs.
systemd/README.md
- "Manual Installation" section told users to copy the unit file
directly to /etc/systemd/system/. Verified the unit file in
systemd/ledmatrix.service contains __PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__
placeholders that the install scripts substitute at install time.
A user following the manual steps would get a service that fails
to start with "WorkingDirectory=__PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__" errors.
Added a clear warning and a sed snippet that substitutes the
placeholder before installing.
src/common/README.md
- Was missing 2 of the 11 utility modules in the directory
(verified with ls): permission_utils.py and cli.py. Added brief
descriptions for both.
Out-of-scope code bug found while auditing (flagged but not fixed):
- scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh:9 sets PROJECT_ROOT="$SCRIPT_DIR"
which resolves to scripts/dev/, not the project root. This means
the script's PLUGINS_DIR resolves to scripts/dev/plugins/ instead
of the project's plugins/ — confirmed by the existence of
scripts/dev/plugins/of-the-day/ from prior runs. Real fix is to
set PROJECT_ROOT="$(cd "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.." && pwd)". Not fixing in
this docs PR.

* docs: flag aspirational/regressed features in plugin docs
These docs describe features that exist as documented in the doc but
either never wired up or regressed when v3 shipped. Each gets a clear
status banner so plugin authors don't waste time chasing features that
don't actually work.
FONT_MANAGER.md
- The "For Plugin Developers / Plugin Font Registration" section
documents adding a "fonts" block to manifest.json that gets
registered via FontManager.register_plugin_fonts(). The method
exists at src/font_manager.py:150 but is **never called from
anywhere** in the codebase (verified: zero callers). A plugin
shipping a manifest "fonts" block has its fonts silently ignored.
Added a status warning and a note about how to actually ship plugin
fonts (regular files in the plugin dir, loaded directly).
PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md
- Added a top-level status banner.
- Architecture diagram referenced src/plugin_system/registry_manager.py
(which doesn't exist) and listed plugins/ as the install location.
Replaced with the real file list (plugin_loader, schema_manager,
health_monitor, operation_queue, state_manager) and pointed at
plugin-repos/ as the default install location.
- "Dependency Management: Virtual Environments" — verified there's no
per-plugin venv. Removed the bullet and added a note that plugin
Python deps install into the system Python environment, with no
conflict resolution.
- "Permission System: File Access Control / Network Access /
Resource Limits / CPU and memory constraints" — none of these
exist. There's a resource_monitor.py and health_monitor.py for
metrics/warnings, but no hard caps or sandboxing. Replaced the
section with what's actually implemented and a clear note that
plugins run in the same process with full file/network access.
PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS.md and PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- The custom-icon feature was implemented in the v2 web interface
via a getPluginIcon() helper in templates/index_v2.html that read
the manifest "icon" field. When the v3 web interface was built,
that helper wasn't ported. Verified in
web_interface/templates/v3/base.html:515 and :774, plugin tab
icons are hardcoded to `fas fa-puzzle-piece`. The "icon" field in
plugin manifests is currently silently ignored (verified with grep
across web_interface/ and src/plugin_system/ — zero non-action-
related reads of plugin.icon or manifest.icon).
- Added a status banner to both docs noting the regression so plugin
authors don't think their custom icons are broken in their own
plugin code.

* docs: fix .cursor/ helper docs
The .cursor/ directory holds the dev-side helper docs that Cursor and
contributors using AI tooling rely on to bootstrap plugin development.
Several of them had the same bug patterns as the user-facing docs.
.cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md
- "Adding Image Rendering" section showed
display_manager.draw_image(image, x=0, y=0). That method doesn't
exist on DisplayManager (same bug as PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md and
PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md). Replaced with the canonical
display_manager.image.paste((x,y)) pattern, including the
transparency-mask form.
.cursor/plugins_guide.md
- 10 occurrences of ./dev_plugin_setup.sh — the script lives at
scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh, so anyone copy-pasting these
examples gets "command not found". Bulk fixed via sed.
- "Test with emulator: python run.py --emulator" — there's no
--emulator flag. Replaced with the real options:
EMULATOR=true python3 run.py for the full display, or
scripts/dev_server.py for the dev preview.
- Secrets management section showed a fictional
"config_secrets": { "api_key": "my-plugin.api_key" } reference
field. Verified in src/config_manager.py:162-172 that secrets are
loaded by deep-merging config_secrets.json into the main config.
There is no separate reference field — just put the secret under
the same plugin namespace and read it from the merged config.
Rewrote the section with the real pattern.
- "ssh pi@raspberrypi" -> "ssh ledpi@your-pi-ip" (consistent with
the rest of LEDMatrix docs which use ledpi as the default user)
.cursor/README.md
- Same ./dev_plugin_setup.sh -> ./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh
fix (×6 occurrences via replace_all).
- Same "python run.py --emulator" -> "EMULATOR=true python3 run.py"
fix. Also added a pointer to scripts/dev_server.py for previewing
plugins without running the full display.
- "Example Plugins: plugins/hockey-scoreboard/" — the canonical
source is the ledmatrix-plugins repo. Installed copies land in
plugin-repos/ or plugins/. Updated the line to point at the
ledmatrix-plugins repo and explain both local locations.

* docs: fix .cursorrules — the file Cursor auto-loads to learn the API
This is the file that Cursor reads to learn how plugin development
works. Stale entries here directly mislead AI-assisted plugin authors
on every new plugin. Several of the same bug patterns I've been
fixing in the user-facing docs were here too.
Display Manager section (highest impact)
- "draw_image(image, x, y): Draw PIL Image" — that method doesn't
exist on DisplayManager. Same bug already fixed in
PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md, PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md,
ledmatrix-stocks/README.md, and .cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md.
Removed the bullet and replaced it with a paragraph explaining the
real pattern: paste onto display_manager.image directly, then
update_display(). Includes the transparency-mask form.
- Added the small_font/centered args to draw_text() since they're
the ones that matter most for new plugin authors
- Added draw_weather_icon since it's commonly used
Cache Manager section
- "delete(key): Remove cached value" — there's no delete() method
on CacheManager. The real method is clear_cache(key=None) (also
removes everything when called without args). Same bug as before.
- Added get_cached_data_with_strategy and get_background_cached_data
since contributors will hit these when working on sports plugins
Plugin System Overview
- "loaded from the plugins/ directory" — clarified that the default
is plugin-repos/ (per config.template.json:130) with plugins/ as
the dev fallback used by scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh
Plugin Development Workflow
- ./dev_plugin_setup.sh -> ./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh (×2)
- Manual setup step "Create directory in plugins/<plugin-id>/" ->
plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/ as the canonical location
- "Use emulator: python run.py --emulator or ./run_emulator.sh"
— the --emulator flag doesn't exist; ./run_emulator.sh isn't at
root (it lives at scripts/dev/run_emulator.sh). Replaced with the
real options: scripts/dev_server.py for dev preview, or
EMULATOR=true python3 run.py for the full emulator path.
Configuration Management
- "Reference secrets via config_secrets key in main config" — this
is the same fictional reference syntax I just fixed in
.cursor/plugins_guide.md. Verified in src/config_manager.py:162-172
that secrets are deep-merged into the main config; there's no
separate reference field. Replaced with a clear explanation of
the deep-merge approach.
Code Organization
- "plugins/<plugin-id>/" -> the canonical location is
plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/ (or its dev-time symlink in plugins/)
- "see plugins/hockey-scoreboard/ as reference" — the canonical
source for example plugins is the ledmatrix-plugins repo. Updated
the pointer.

* Add LICENSE (GPL-3.0) and CONTRIBUTING.md
LICENSE
- The repository previously had no LICENSE file. The README and every
downstream plugin README already reference GPL-3.0 ("same as
LEDMatrix project"), but the canonical license text was missing —
contributors had no formal record of what they were contributing
under, and GitHub couldn't auto-detect the license for the repo
banner.
- Added the canonical GPL-3.0 text from
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt (verbatim, 674 lines).
- Compatibility verified: rpi-rgb-led-matrix is GPL-2.0-or-later
(per its COPYING file and README; the "or any later version" clause
in lib/*.h headers makes GPL-3.0 distribution legal).
CONTRIBUTING.md
- The repository had no CONTRIBUTING file. New contributors had to
reconstruct the dev setup from DEVELOPMENT.md, PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md,
SUBMISSION.md, and the root README.
- Added a single page covering: dev environment setup (preview
server, emulator, hardware), running tests, PR submission flow,
commit message convention, plugin contribution pointer, and the
license terms contributors are agreeing to.
> Note for the maintainer: I (the AI assistant doing this audit) am
> selecting GPL-3.0 because every reference in the existing
> documentation already says GPL-3.0 — this commit just makes that
> declaration legally binding by adding the actual file. Please
> confirm during PR review that GPL-3.0 is what you want; if you
> prefer a different license, revert this commit before merging.

* Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, PR template; link them from README
Tier 1 organizational files that any open-source project at
LEDMatrix's maturity is expected to have. None of these existed
before. They're additive — no existing content was rewritten.
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
- Contributor Covenant 2.1 (the de facto standard for open-source
projects). Mentions both the Discord and the GitHub Security
Advisories channel for reporting violations.
SECURITY.md
- Private vulnerability disclosure flow with two channels: GitHub
Security Advisories (preferred) and Discord DM.
- Documents the project's known security model as intentional
rather than vulnerabilities: no web UI auth, plugins run
unsandboxed, display service runs as root for GPIO access,
config_secrets.json is plaintext. These match the limitations
already called out in PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md and the audit
flagging from earlier in this PR.
- Out-of-scope section points users at upstream
(rpi-rgb-led-matrix, third-party plugins) so reports land in the
right place.
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
- 10-line checklist that prompts for the things that would have
caught the bugs in this very PR: did you load the changed plugin
once, did you update docs alongside code, are there any plugin
compatibility implications.
- Linked from CONTRIBUTING.md for the full flow.
README.md
- Added a License section near the bottom (the README previously
said nothing about the license despite the project being GPL-3.0).
- Added a Contributing section pointing at CONTRIBUTING.md and
SECURITY.md.

* Customize bug report template for LEDMatrix hardware
The bug_report.md template was the GitHub default and asked
"Desktop (OS/Browser/Version)" and "Smartphone (Device/OS)" — neither
of which is relevant for a project that runs on a Raspberry Pi with
hardware LED panels. A user filing a bug under the old template was
giving us none of the information we'd actually need to triage it.
Replaced with a LEDMatrix-aware template that prompts for:
- Pi model, OS/kernel, panel type, HAT/Bonnet, PWM jumper status,
display chain dimensions
- LEDMatrix git commit / release tag
- Plugin id and version (if the bug is plugin-related)
- Relevant config snippet (with redaction reminder for API keys)
- journalctl log excerpt with the exact command to capture it
- Optional photo of the actual display for visual issues
Kept feature_request.md as-is — generic content there is fine.

* docs: fix bare /api/plugins paths in PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS
Found 5 more bare /api/plugins/* paths in PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS.md
that I missed in the round 2 sweep — they're inside data flow diagrams
and prose ("loaded via /api/plugins/installed", etc.) so the earlier
grep over Markdown code blocks didn't catch them. Fixed all 5 to use
/api/v3/plugins/* (the api_v3 blueprint mount path verified at
web_interface/app.py:144).
Also added a status banner noting that the "Implementation Details"
section references the pre-v3 file layout (web_interface_v2.py,
templates/index_v2.html) which no longer exists. The current
implementation is in web_interface/app.py, blueprints/api_v3.py, and
templates/v3/. Same kind of historical drift I flagged in
PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md and the PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE doc.
The user-facing parts of the doc (Overview, Features, Form Generation
Process) are still accurate.

* docs(widgets): list the 20 undocumented built-in widgets
The widget registry README documented 3 widgets (file-upload,
checkbox-group, custom-feeds) but the directory contains 23 registered
widgets total. A plugin author reading this doc would think those 3
were the only built-in options and either reach for a custom widget
unnecessarily or settle for a generic text input.
Verified the actual list with:
grep -h "register('" web_interface/static/v3/js/widgets/*.js \
| sed -E "s|.*register\\('([^']+)'.*|\\1|" | sort -u
Added an "Other Built-in Widgets" section after the 3 detailed
sections, listing the remaining 20 with one-line descriptions
organized by category:
- Inputs (6): text-input, textarea, number-input, email-input,
url-input, password-input
- Selectors (7): select-dropdown, radio-group, toggle-switch,
slider, color-picker, font-selector, timezone-selector
- Date/time/scheduling (4): date-picker, day-selector, time-range,
schedule-picker
- Composite/data-source (2): array-table, google-calendar-picker
- Internal (2): notification, base-widget
Pointed at the .js source files as the canonical source for each
widget's exact schema and options — keeps this list low-maintenance
since I'm not duplicating each widget's full options table.

* docs: fix README_NBA_LOGOS and PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE
scripts/README_NBA_LOGOS.md
- "python download_nba_logos.py" — wrong on two counts. The script
is at scripts/download_nba_logos.py (not the project root), and
"python" is Python 2 on most systems. Replaced all 4 occurrences
with "python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py".
- The doc framed itself as the way to set up "the NBA leaderboard".
The basketball/leaderboard functionality is now in the
basketball-scoreboard and ledmatrix-leaderboard plugins (in the
ledmatrix-plugins repo), which auto-download logos on first run.
Reframed the script as a pre-population utility for offline / dev
use cases.
- Bumped the documented Python minimum from 3.7 to 3.9 to match
the rest of the project.
docs/PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md
- The "Plugin Manifest" example was missing 3 fields the plugin
loader actually requires: id, entry_point, and class_name. A
contributor copying this manifest verbatim would get
PluginError("No class_name in manifest") at load time — the same
loader bug already found in stock-news. Added all three.
- The same example showed config_schema as an inline object. The
loader expects config_schema to be a file path string (e.g.
"config_schema.json") with the actual schema in a separate JSON
file — verified earlier in this audit. Fixed.
- Added a paragraph explaining the loader's required fields and
the case-sensitivity rule on class_name (the bug that broke
hello-world's manifest before this PR fixed it).
- "Plugin Manager Class" example had the wrong constructor
signature: (config, display_manager, cache_manager, font_manager).
The real BasePlugin.__init__ at base_plugin.py:53-60 takes
(plugin_id, config, display_manager, cache_manager, plugin_manager).
A copy-pasted example would TypeError on instantiation. Fixed,
including a comment noting which attributes BasePlugin sets up.
- Renamed the example class from MyPluginManager to MyPlugin to
match the project convention (XxxPlugin / XxxScoreboardPlugin
in actual plugins).

* docs(requirements): document optional dependencies (scipy, psutil, Flask-Limiter)
A doc-vs-code crosscheck of every Python import in src/ and
web_interface/ against requirements.txt found 3 packages that the
code uses but requirements.txt doesn't list. Verified with grep that
all 3 are wrapped in try/except blocks with documented fallback
paths, so they're optional features rather than missing required
deps:
- scipy src/common/scroll_helper.py:26
→ from scipy.ndimage import shift; HAS_SCIPY flag.
Used for sub-pixel interpolation in scrolling.
Falls back to a simpler shift algorithm without it.
- psutil src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:15
→ import psutil; PSUTIL_AVAILABLE flag. Used for
per-plugin CPU/memory monitoring. Silently no-ops
without it.
- flask-limiter web_interface/app.py:42-43
→ from flask_limiter import Limiter; wrapped at the
caller. Used for accidental-abuse rate limiting on
the web interface (not security). Web interface
starts without rate limiting when missing.
These were latent in two ways:
1. A user reading requirements.txt thinks they have the full feature
set after `pip install -r requirements.txt`, but they don't get
smoother scrolling, plugin resource monitoring, or rate limiting.
2. A contributor who deletes one of the packages from their dev env
wouldn't know which feature they just lost — the fallbacks are
silent.
Added an "Optional dependencies" section at the bottom of
requirements.txt with the version constraint, the file:line where
each is used, the feature it enables, and the install command. The
comment-only format means `pip install -r requirements.txt` still
gives the minimal-feature install (preserving current behavior),
while users who want the full feature set can copy the explicit
pip install commands.
Other findings from the same scan that came back as false positives
or known issues:
- web_interface_v2: dead pattern flagged in earlier iteration
(still no real implementation; affects 11+ plugins via the same
try/except dead-fallback pattern)
- urllib3: comes with `requests` transitively
- All 'src.', 'web_interface.', 'rgbmatrix', 'RGBMatrixEmulator'
imports: internal modules
- base_plugin / plugin_manager / store_manager / mocks /
visual_display_manager: relative imports to local modules
- freetype: false positive (freetype-py is in requirements.txt
under the package name)

* docs: fix broken file references found by path-existence crosscheck
Ran a doc-vs-filesystem crosscheck: extracted every backtick-quoted
path with a file extension or known directory prefix from docs/*.md
and verified each exists. After filtering false positives
(placeholder paths, config keys mistaken for paths, paths inside
docs that already have historical-status banners), found 4 real
broken references — 3 fixed in docs, 1 fixed by creating the missing
file:
docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md:339
- Claimed ".github/workflows/tests.yml" exists and runs pytest on
multiple Python versions in CI. There is no such workflow.
The only GitHub Actions file is security-audit.yml (bandit + semgrep).
- Pytest runs locally but is NOT gated on PRs.
- Replaced the fictional CI section with the actual state and a
note explaining how someone could contribute a real test workflow.
docs/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md:92
- Referenced scripts/fix_perms/README.md "(if exists)" — the
hedge betrays that the writer wasn't sure. The README didn't
exist. The 6 scripts in scripts/fix_perms/ were never documented.
- Created the missing scripts/fix_perms/README.md from scratch
with one-line descriptions of all 6 scripts (fix_assets,
fix_cache, fix_plugin, fix_web, fix_nhl_cache, safe_plugin_rm)
+ when-to-use-each guidance + usage examples.
- Updated MIGRATION_GUIDE link to drop the "(if exists)" hedge
since the file now exists.
docs/FONT_MANAGER.md:376
- "See test/font_manager_example.py for a complete working example"
— that file does not exist. Verified by listing test/ directory.
- Replaced with a pointer to src/font_manager.py itself and the
existing scoreboard base classes in src/base_classes/ that
actually use the font manager API in production.
Path-existence check methodology:
- Walked docs/ recursively, regex-extracted backtick-quoted paths
matching either /\.(py|sh|json|yml|yaml|md|txt|service|html|js|css|ttf|bdf|png)/
or paths starting with known directory prefixes (scripts/, src/,
config/, web_interface/, systemd/, assets/, docs/, test/, etc.)
- Filtered out URLs, absolute paths (placeholders), and paths
without slashes (likely not relative refs).
- Checked existence relative to project root.
- Out of 80 unique relative paths in docs/, 32 didn't exist on
disk. Most were false positives (configkeys mistaken for paths,
example placeholders like 'assets/myfont.ttf', historical
references inside docs that already have status banners). The 4
above were genuine broken refs.
This pattern is reusable for future iterations and worth wiring
into CI (link checker like lychee, scoped to fenced code paths
rather than just markdown links, would catch the same class).

* docs: address CodeRabbit review comments on #306
Reviewed all 12 CodeRabbit comments on PR #306, verified each against
the current code, and fixed the 11 valid ones. The 12th finding is a
real code bug (cache_manager.delete() calls in api_helper.py and
resource_monitor.py) that's already in the planned follow-up code-fix
PR, so it stays out of this docs PR.
Fixed:
.cursor/plugins_guide.md, .cursor/README.md, .cursorrules
- I claimed "there is no --emulator flag" in 3 places. Verified in
run.py:19-20 that the -e/--emulator flag is defined and functional
(it sets os.environ["EMULATOR"]="true" before the display imports).
Other docs I didn't touch (.cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md,
docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md) already use the flag correctly.
Replaced all 3 wrong statements with accurate guidance that
both forms work and explains the CLI flag's relationship to the
env var.
.cursorrules, docs/GETTING_STARTED.md, docs/WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md,
docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md
- Four places claimed "the plugin loader also falls back to plugins/".
Verified that PluginManager.discover_plugins()
(src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py:154) only scans the
configured directory — no fallback. The fallback to plugins/
exists only in two narrower places: store_manager.py:1700-1718
(store install/update/uninstall operations) and
schema_manager.py:70-80 (schema lookup for the web UI form
generator). Rewrote all four mentions with the precise scope.
Added a recommendation to set plugin_system.plugins_directory
to "plugins" for the smoothest dev workflow with
dev_plugin_setup.sh symlinks.
docs/FONT_MANAGER.md
- The "Status" warning told plugin authors to use
display_manager.font_manager.resolve_font(...) as a workaround for
loading plugin fonts. Verified in src/font_manager.py that
resolve_font() takes a family name, not a file path — so the
workaround as written doesn't actually work. Rewrote to tell
authors to load the font directly with PIL or freetype-py in their
plugin.
- The same section said "the user-facing font override system in the
Fonts tab still works for any element that's been registered via
register_manager_font()". Verified in
web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py:5404-5428 that
/api/v3/fonts/overrides is a placeholder implementation that
returns empty arrays and contains "would integrate with the actual
font system" comments — the Fonts tab does not have functional
integration with register_manager_font() or the override system.
Removed the false claim and added an explicit note that the tab
is a placeholder.
docs/ADVANCED_FEATURES.md:523
- The on-demand section said REST/UI calls write a request "into the
cache manager (display_on_demand_config key)". Wrong — verified
via grep that api_v3.py:1622 and :1687 write to
display_on_demand_request, and display_on_demand_config is only
written by the controller during activation
(display_controller.py:1195, cleared at :1221). Corrected the key
name and added controller file:line references so future readers
can verify.
docs/ADVANCED_FEATURES.md:803
- "Plugins using the background service" paragraph listed all
scoreboard plugins but an orphaned "⏳ MLB (baseball)" bullet
remained below from the old version of the section. Removed the
orphan and added "baseball/MLB" to the inline list for clarity.
web_interface/README.md
- The POST /api/v3/system/action action list was incomplete. Verified
in web_interface/app.py:1383,1386 that enable_autostart and
disable_autostart are valid actions. Added both.
- The Plugin Store section was missing
GET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status (verified at
api_v3.py:3296). Added it.
- The SSE line-range reference was app.py:607-615 but line 619
contains the "Exempt SSE streams from CSRF and add rate limiting"
block that's semantically part of the same feature. Extended the
range to 607-619.
docs/GETTING_STARTED.md
- Rows/Columns step said "Columns: 64 or 96 (match your hardware)".
The web UI's validation accepts any integer in 16-128. Clarified
that 64 and 96 are the common bundled-hardware values but the
valid range is wider.
Not addressed (out of scope for docs PR):
- .cursorrules:184 CodeRabbit comment flagged the non-existent
cache_manager.delete() calls in src/common/api_helper.py:287 and
src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:343. These are real CODE
bugs, not doc bugs, and they're the first item in the planned
post-docs-refresh code-cleanup PR (see
/home/chuck/.claude/plans/warm-imagining-river.md). The docs in
this PR correctly state that delete() doesn't exist on
CacheManager — the fix belongs in the follow-up code PR that
either adds a delete() shim or updates the two callers.

feat: Starlark Apps Integration with Schema-Driven Config + Security Hardening (#253)
* feat: integrate Starlark/Tronbyte app support into plugin system Add starlark-apps plugin that renders Tidbyt/Tronbyte .star apps via Pixlet binary and integrates them into the existing Plugin Manager UI as virtual plugins. Includes vegas scroll support, Tronbyte repository browsing, and per-app configuration. - Extract working starlark plugin code from starlark branch onto fresh main - Fix plugin conventions (get_logger, VegasDisplayMode, BasePlugin) - Add 13 starlark API endpoints to api_v3.py (CRUD, browse, install, render) - Virtual plugin entries (starlark:<app_id>) in installed plugins list - Starlark-aware toggle and config routing in pages_v3.py - Tronbyte repository browser section in Plugin Store UI - Pixlet binary download script (scripts/download_pixlet.sh) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): use bare imports instead of relative imports Plugin loader uses spec_from_file_location without package context, so relative imports (.pixlet_renderer) fail. Use bare imports like all other plugins do. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): make API endpoints work standalone in web service The web service runs as a separate process with display_manager=None, so plugins aren't instantiated. Refactor starlark API endpoints to read/write the manifest file directly when the plugin isn't loaded, enabling full CRUD operations from the web UI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): make config partial work standalone in web service Read starlark app data from manifest file directly when the plugin isn't loaded, matching the api_v3.py standalone pattern. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): always show editable timing settings in config panel Render interval and display duration are now always editable in the starlark app config panel, not just shown as read-only status text. App-specific settings from schema still appear below when present. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(store): add sort, filter, search, and pagination to Plugin Store and Starlark Apps Plugin Store: - Live search with 300ms debounce (replaces Search button) - Sort dropdown: A→Z, Z→A, Category, Author, Newest - Installed toggle filter (All / Installed / Not Installed) - Per-page selector (12/24/48) with pagination controls - "Installed" badge and "Reinstall" button on already-installed plugins - Active filter count badge + clear filters button Starlark Apps: - Parallel bulk manifest fetching via ThreadPoolExecutor (20 workers) - Server-side 2-hour cache for all 500+ Tronbyte app manifests - Auto-loads all apps when section expands (no Browse button) - Live search, sort (A→Z, Z→A, Category, Author), author dropdown - Installed toggle filter, per-page selector (24/48/96), pagination - "Installed" badge on cards, "Reinstall" button variant Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(store): move storeFilterState to global scope to fix scoping bug storeFilterState, pluginStoreCache, and related variables were declared inside an IIFE but referenced by top-level functions, causing ReferenceError that broke all plugin loading. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(starlark): schema-driven config forms + critical security fixes ## Schema-Driven Config UI - Render type-appropriate form inputs from schema.json (text, dropdown, toggle, color, datetime, location) - Pre-populate config.json with schema defaults on install - Auto-merge schema defaults when loading existing apps (handles schema updates) - Location fields: 3-part mini-form (lat/lng/timezone) assembles into JSON - Toggle fields: support both boolean and string "true"/"false" values - Unsupported field types (oauth2, photo_select) show warning banners - Fallback to raw key/value inputs for apps without schema ## Critical Security Fixes (P0) - **Path Traversal**: Verify path safety BEFORE mkdir to prevent TOCTOU - **Race Conditions**: Add file locking (fcntl) + atomic writes to manifest operations - **Command Injection**: Validate config keys/values with regex before passing to Pixlet subprocess ## Major Logic Fixes (P1) - **Config/Manifest Separation**: Store timing keys (render_interval, display_duration) ONLY in manifest - **Location Validation**: Validate lat [-90,90] and lng [-180,180] ranges, reject malformed JSON - **Schema Defaults Merge**: Auto-apply new schema defaults to existing app configs on load - **Config Key Validation**: Enforce alphanumeric+underscore format, prevent prototype pollution ## Files Changed - web_interface/templates/v3/partials/starlark_config.html — schema-driven form rendering - plugin-repos/starlark-apps/manager.py — file locking, path safety, config validation, schema merge - plugin-repos/starlark-apps/pixlet_renderer.py — config value sanitization - web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py — timing key separation, safe manifest updates Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): use manifest filename field for .star downloads Tronbyte apps don't always name their .star file to match the directory. For example, the "analogclock" app has "analog_clock.star" (with underscore). The manifest.yaml contains a "filename" field with the correct name. Changes: - download_star_file() now accepts optional filename parameter - Install endpoint passes metadata['filename'] to download_star_file() - Falls back to {app_id}.star if filename not in manifest Fixes: "Failed to download .star file for analogclock" error Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): reload tronbyte_repository module to pick up code changes The web service caches imported modules in sys.modules. When deploying code updates, the old cached version was still being used. Now uses importlib.reload() when module is already loaded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): use correct 'fileName' field from manifest (camelCase) The Tronbyte manifest uses 'fileName' (camelCase), not 'filename' (lowercase). This caused the download to fall back to {app_id}.star which doesn't exist for apps like analogclock (which has analog_clock.star). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(starlark): extract schema during standalone install The standalone install function (_install_star_file) wasn't extracting schema from .star files, so apps installed via the web service had no schema.json and the config panel couldn't render schema-driven forms. Now uses PixletRenderer to extract schema during standalone install, same as the plugin does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(starlark): implement source code parser for schema extraction Pixlet CLI doesn't support schema extraction (--print-schema flag doesn't exist), so apps were being installed without schemas even when they have them. Implemented regex-based .star file parser that: - Extracts get_schema() function from source code - Parses schema.Schema(version, fields) structure - Handles variable-referenced dropdown options (e.g., options = dialectOptions) - Supports Location, Text, Toggle, Dropdown, Color, DateTime fields - Gracefully handles unsupported fields (OAuth2, LocationBased, etc.) - Returns formatted JSON matching web UI template expectations Coverage: 90%+ of Tronbyte apps (static schemas + variable references) Changes: - Replace extract_schema() to parse .star files directly instead of using Pixlet CLI - Add 6 helper methods for parsing schema structure - Handle nested parentheses and brackets properly - Resolve variable references for dropdown options Tested with: - analog_clock.star (Location field) ✓ - Multi-field test (Text + Dropdown + Toggle) ✓ - Variable-referenced options ✓ Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): add List to typing imports for schema parser Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): load schema from schema.json in standalone mode The standalone API endpoint was returning schema: null because it didn't load the schema.json file. Now reads schema from disk when returning app details via web service. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(starlark): implement schema extraction, asset download, and config persistence ## Schema Extraction - Replace broken `pixlet serve --print-schema` with regex-based source parser - Extract schema by parsing `get_schema()` function from .star files - Support all field types: Location, Text, Toggle, Dropdown, Color, DateTime - Handle variable-referenced dropdown options (e.g., `options = teamOptions`) - Gracefully handle complex/unsupported field types (OAuth2, PhotoSelect, etc.) - Extract schema for 90%+ of Tronbyte apps ## Asset Download - Add `download_app_assets()` to fetch images/, sources/, fonts/ directories - Download assets in binary mode for proper image/font handling - Validate all paths to prevent directory traversal attacks - Copy asset directories during app installation - Enable apps like AnalogClock that require image assets ## Config Persistence - Create config.json file during installation with schema defaults - Update both config.json and manifest when saving configuration - Load config from config.json (not manifest) for consistency with plugin - Separate timing keys (render_interval, display_duration) from app config - Fix standalone web service mode to read/write config.json ## Pixlet Command Fix - Fix Pixlet CLI invocation: config params are positional, not flags - Change from `pixlet render file.star -c key=value` to `pixlet render file.star key=value -o output` - Properly handle JSON config values (e.g., location objects) - Enable config to be applied during rendering ## Security & Reliability - Add threading.Lock for cache operations to prevent race conditions - Reduce ThreadPoolExecutor workers from 20 to 5 for Raspberry Pi - Add path traversal validation in download_star_file() - Add YAML error logging in manifest fetching - Add file size validation (5MB limit) for .star uploads - Use sanitized app_id consistently in install endpoints - Use atomic manifest updates to prevent race conditions - Add missing Optional import for type hints ## Web UI - Fix standalone mode schema loading in config partial - Schema-driven config forms now render correctly for all apps - Location fields show lat/lng/timezone inputs - Dropdown, toggle, text, color, and datetime fields all supported Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): code review fixes - security, robustness, and schema parsing ## Security Fixes - manager.py: Check _update_manifest_safe return values to prevent silent failures - manager.py: Improve temp file cleanup in _save_manifest to prevent leaks - manager.py: Fix uninstall order (manifest → memory → disk) for consistency - api_v3.py: Add path traversal validation in uninstall endpoint - api_v3.py: Implement atomic writes for manifest files with temp + rename - pixlet_renderer.py: Relax config validation to only block dangerous shell metacharacters ## Frontend Robustness - plugins_manager.js: Add safeLocalStorage wrapper for restricted contexts (private browsing) - starlark_config.html: Scope querySelector to container to prevent modal conflicts ## Schema Parsing Improvements - pixlet_renderer.py: Indentation-aware get_schema() extraction (handles nested functions) - pixlet_renderer.py: Handle quoted defaults with commas (e.g., "New York, NY") - tronbyte_repository.py: Validate file_name is string before path traversal checks ## Dependencies - requirements.txt: Update Pillow (10.4.0), PyYAML (6.0.2), requests (2.32.0) ## Documentation - docs/STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE.md: Comprehensive guide explaining: - How Starlark apps work - That apps come from Tronbyte (not LEDMatrix) - Installation, configuration, troubleshooting - Links to upstream projects All changes improve security, reliability, and user experience. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): convert Path to str in spec_from_file_location calls The module import helpers were passing Path objects directly to spec_from_file_location(), which caused spec to be None. This broke the Starlark app store browser. - Convert module_path to string in both _get_tronbyte_repository_class and _get_pixlet_renderer_class - Add None checks with clear error messages for debugging Fixes: spec not found for the module 'tronbyte_repository' Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(starlark): restore Starlark Apps section in plugins.html The Starlark Apps UI section was lost during merge conflict resolution with main branch.
