ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f841fa36b6 feat(install): updates refresh systemd units; new installs run the newest release (#729)
Updates that move HEAD now install changed systemd units through a root-owned helper (/usr/local/sbin/ledmatrix-refresh-units, two literal sudo lines), with a backup restored on rollback; a refresh that fails part-way puts the old units back. Devices without the new sudo rule keep updating and are told to re-run the installer once. The one-shot installer now checks out the newest vX.Y.Z release (LEDMATRIX_CHANNEL=beta keeps main) and never moves an existing checkout backwards.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 7804ea8f69 feat(update): stable/beta update channel; stable follows release tags (#684)
Adds auto_update.channel: stable follows the newest vX.Y.Z release tag
(detached HEAD; pre-releases and other tags ignored), beta follows main as
before. Nothing ever moves a device backwards: a checkout newer than the
newest release keeps following main (or stays put when detached) until a
release contains its commit. Legacy configs migrate to stable when they
reach a release. Update Code, the weekly updater's preflight, and the
verifier's rollback (back to old_ref: branch or detached release) all
honour the channel. General tab Update Channel select, GET/POST
/api/v3/system/update-channel, release-aware Overview banner and Tools git
panel. New installs default to stable.

Rig fix (ledpi): /system/check-update reports update_available: false when
the channel's action is none (a detached HEAD newer than the newest
release), matching Update Code; the Tools panel no longer calls every
detached HEAD "a release".

Merged with main through #687 (heartbeat verifier, #683 login, #688
plugin_catalog, #685 Tailwind build).

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 7ab6fb1aff refactor(web): read plugins through a PluginCatalog; only the display runs them (#688)
The web process built its own PluginManager and loaded plugins into itself:
store installs and updates loaded or reloaded a web-side copy, and config
saves and enable/disable called on_config_change, on_enable and on_disable
on it. None of that reached the panel, and /plugins/installed reported
runtime state from those copies.

- Add PluginCatalog (src/plugin_system/plugin_catalog.py): manifests,
  directories, display modes, installed version, schema and config reads,
  with no way to run a plugin. app.py and both blueprints use it; the
  plugin_manager blueprint attribute is gone.
- Remove every lifecycle call from the web routes. Config changes already
  reach the display through ConfigService (on_config_change) and the
  enabled-set reconcile.
- Health and metrics readers move to api_v3.health_tracker /
  resource_monitor. /plugins/installed reports loaded/state/error_info as
  null (the display does not publish them) and enabled by the display's
  rule.
- Store install, update and uninstall answer restart_required when the
  running display will not pick the change up by itself
  (display_restart_required). The restart banner follows the flag via
  window.noteRestartRequired instead of the /config/main URL heuristic;
  /config/main now sends restart_required: true.
- The one remaining in-process import of plugin code (Starlark helper
  modules, oauth_flow action scripts) goes through
  _import_plugin_code_in_web_process() until a web-entry contract.
- /plugins/installed reports vegas_participation (from #682) from the
  user's setting or the manifest, with vegas_participation_source; when
  only the plugin's code decides it, null with source 'runtime', since the
  web process no longer has plugin instances to ask.
- Check & Update All keeps its restart flags when the final list refresh
  fails, and asks for a restart when an enabled plugin's first request got
  no answer and the re-sent one found it up to date.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 ba38a83c2c fix(web): refuse cross-site state-changing requests (Origin/Referer check) (#674)
The web interface refuses state-changing requests (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE)
whose Origin (or, without one, Referer) is not the host they were sent to,
or is null: 403 CROSS_SITE_REQUEST (web_interface/origin_guard.py). Any
website a LAN user visited could otherwise make their browser POST a plain
form to the Pi. /api/v3/system/action also refuses form-encoded and
text/plain bodies (415) unless sent by HTMX. Clients that send no Origin or
Referer (curl, requests, Home Assistant, the MQTT bridge) are unaffected.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 3a81f38f09 fix(web): uniqueItems saves, /health count, Vegas order wipe; one list-repair helper (#638)
* fix(web): drop repeats from uniqueItems lists before validating a plugin save

dedup_unique_arrays lost its only caller in #330, so submitting a value a
uniqueItems list already holds (a stock symbol saved once and posted again)
failed the whole save with a validation error. _prepare_plugin_config_for_save
runs it again just before validation, which covers both POST /plugins/config
and plugin sections posted to /config/main.

* fix(web): /health counts the discovered plugins and logs the checks it fails

The plugin check counted plugin_manager.get_available_plugins(), which
PluginManager does not have, behind a hasattr guard that made plugin_count 0
on every device. It now counts the discovered manifests, discovering first
when nothing has been scanned yet.

The config, plugin and hardware checks answered "see logs for details"
without logging anything. Each now logs a warning with the traceback.

* fix(web): store refresh no longer claims a commit-metadata refresh

POST /plugins/store/refresh read fetch_commit_info (or fetch_latest_versions)
only to append "(with refreshed commit metadata from GitHub)" to its message.
It never fetched any: the route re-downloads the registry and nothing else.
search_plugins takes the flag, but it reads commit info through its cache,
so passing it on would not refresh anything either. The flag is ignored now
and the message says what happened.

* fix(web): refuse a malformed Vegas plugin order instead of clearing it

A vegas_plugin_order or vegas_excluded_plugins value that was not JSON, or
not a list, was stored as [] and the save answered 200, so a bad value wiped
the saved order or exclusions. Both now answer 400 and save nothing, the way
plugin_rotation_order already did; the three share one parser. A list that
holds anything but plugin-id strings is refused as well.

* fix(web): per-plugin health and metrics read the display service's latest

GET /plugins/health/<id> and /plugins/metrics/<id> called get_health_summary
and get_metrics_summary without force_reload, so they answered with whatever
the web process read first and kept in memory, while the display service kept
writing newer state. They now pass force_reload=True, as the list routes do.

* fix(web): plugin config reset saves through the shared atomic save

POST /plugins/config/reset called config_manager.save_config directly, so it
took no backup, and a failed write escaped as an unhandled exception. It then
handed on_config_change the raw stored section, not the prepared config a
loaded plugin runs with. It now saves through _save_config_atomic with a
backup, answers CONFIG_SAVE_FAILED when that fails, and notifies with
_prepared_plugin_config, as POST /plugins/config does.

POST /plugins/toggle carried its own copy of _save_config_atomic's
save_config_atomic-or-save_config fallback; it calls the shared helper now.

* fix(web): one reading and one "unavailable" for each system metric

system_metrics.collect_system_metrics() promised None for a metric it could
not read, but returned cpu_temp as 0 off a Pi, and the whole no-psutil
fallback as zeros. GET /system/status measured the same numbers a second time
with its own code, and answered None there. Now both come from
collect_system_metrics(), and "unavailable" is None everywhere.

/system/status keeps its 0.1s CPU sample and its 10s cache, and gains
nothing it did not already send. Two differences: without psutil it answers
200 with null metrics instead of 503, and a disk it cannot stat is null
instead of a 500.

* fix(web): /display/current sends the snapshot as-is and logs a failed read

GET /display/current PIL-decoded the preview snapshot and re-encoded it before
base64-ing it, spending CPU on the Pi to send the same picture, and dropped
any failure with `except Exception: pass`. The /stream/display SSE stream
already passed the PNG's bytes straight through.

Both now read through web_interface/display_preview.py and answer with the
same payload. A missing snapshot is still a null image; any other read
failure is logged as a warning. /health reads the snapshot path from the same
module.

* refactor(web): one helper puts a submitted plugin config's lists back

The plugin-config save turned position-keyed dicts ({"0": ..., "1": ...})
back into lists in five copies: four in the form path's
fix_array_structures (whose prefix branches never ran, since no caller
passed one), and _fix_json_arrays on the JSON path. It then force-fixed
the news plugin's feeds.custom_feeds by name, in case the generic pass had
missed it. src/web_interface/config_arrays.coerce_array_shapes now does it
for both paths, custom_feeds included. ensure_array_defaults duplicated
_fix_none_arrays and is gone.

In the same function: the union-type re-checks that the null handling
above them made unreachable, the "(temporary)" random_seed debug log, and
a commented-out log line are removed. A failed validation is logged once
as a warning, not four ERROR lines and a WARNING.

Element types are left to normalize_config_values, which already converted
them for both paths. One difference: the form path no longer adds an empty
{} for a nested object the post left out that has no defaults.

* refactor(web): import at module top and log through the module logger

The web_interface.cache imports in config.py and fonts.py were wrapped in
`except ImportError` fallbacks. It is an in-repo module that imports nothing
from the project, so it cannot fail to import; it is imported once at module
top, as system.py now does. cache.py's docstring said blueprints import it
lazily "to avoid circular imports"; it now says why that is unnecessary.

Five logging.error calls in the dim-schedule GET and three logging.warning
calls in plugins.py went to the root logger; they use the module logger.
Function-local re-imports of json, os, shutil, logging and Path, all
already imported by the module, are gone. The `import os` inside two except
blocks of save_plugin_config also made os a local name for the whole function.

execute_plugin_action's step-1 handler gets a comment saying why it stays:
it looks like a copy of the blueprint handler, but without it a
TimeoutExpired from the plugin's script would reach the route's own
`except subprocess.TimeoutExpired` and be answered as a 408.

* refactor(web): app.py loses dead CSRF and reconciliation state, comments fixed

- csrf was always None, so `if csrf: csrf.exempt(...)` never ran, and its
  note that the api_v3 blueprint "is exempted above" named an exemption that
  does not exist. Both are gone; the reason there is no CSRF protection stays,
  shortened.
- The SSE rate-limit comment called the default "tight" at 20 per minute. The
  default is 1000 per minute and the streams' 200 is the tighter one; the
  comment now says so. The limits are unchanged.
- _reconciliation_done was written and never read. The docstring that
  explains why reconciliation runs once keeps its reason, in the present
  tense.
- Removed: a dangling "import cache functions" comment with no import under
  it, a "security check ... within project_root" label on an existence check,
  the "(simplified version)" narration, and the note that no redirect route is
  needed. The preview loop's sleep comment no longer mentions a PIL encode
  that the loop does not do.

* docs(web): api_v3 comments name the package __init__, not a _common module

Every route module's docstring said the shared blueprint comes "from
._common", a module the package split never created; they name the
package __init__. The PROJECT_ROOT comment described the path from
_common.py; it now describes this package and keeps the incident it
guards against. The "(corrected) in this commit" note in
resolve_pull_command and the /health comment the split's mechanical
time -> _pkg.time rewrite garbled ("Stamp the start _pkg.time") read
correctly again.

* refactor(web): drop hasattr checks for attributes PluginManager always has

PluginManager.__init__ sets health_tracker and resource_monitor (to None
until they are configured), so the seven
hasattr(api_v3.plugin_manager, ...) guards in the health, metrics and limits
routes were always true. The falsy checks that do the work stay.

* refactor(web): pages_v3 dispatches partials from a dict with one error handler

load_partial chose a loader through a fourteen-branch if/elif, and thirteen
of the loaders then wrapped themselves in the same try/except, logging
"Error loading partial" without saying which. The route now looks the name up
in _PARTIAL_LOADERS and has the one handler, which logs the partial's name.
The loaders just render. _load_tools_partial keeps its own messages. The
search index's _partial_html already catches a loader that raises.

serve_plugin_web_ui repeated _plugin_dir_for inline (containment plus the
ledmatrix- prefix fallback); it calls it now. Also removed: the unused
markupsafe.escape import, function-local json/Path re-imports, and unused
exception bindings.

* refactor(web): remove unused imports, locals and a try that cannot fail

- get_error_aggregator was imported by the api_v3 package and used by no
  one; seven names config.py imported, and Path in misc.py and logging in
  plugins.py, likewise.
- branch_info in install_plugin was built and never logged; test_config in
  /health was bound and never read (the load_config call is the check).
- An f-string with no placeholders in the asset upload route.
- _installed_plugin_ids wrapped list(manifests.keys()) in try/except;
  _discovered_plugin_manifests always returns a dict.

* refactor(web): start.py logs its startup lines and drops unreachable branches

The startup banner went to stdout with print(); it goes through a logger
now, which the app import has already configured, so it reaches the journal
with a level and timestamp like every other line. The "no addresses" branch
is gone: get_local_ips() always returns at least "localhost".

The except around app.run re-raised "only if it's not a client
disconnection error" from inside the branch that had just established it
was one, so that raise could not run. It is one check now, on a named
tuple of the errnos, which the werkzeug log filter uses too. The comment
on threaded=True counts three SSE endpoints, which is how many there are.
Trailing whitespace is stripped.

* refactor(web): save_main_config names its General fields once

The General tab's field names were listed twice, once to detect a General
form post and again, with four more, to keep the remaining-keys merge from
storing them as top-level keys. GENERAL_FIELDS and _MAPPED_TOP_LEVEL_FIELDS
hold them now, and the four per-section skip checks are one set.

The comment on that merge said plugin configs are handled "here too", and
"(including plugin keys)". Plugin sections are handled and removed from the
body before it runs; the comment says so.

* refactor(web): plugin directories come from the plugin manager only

Six lookups fell back to PROJECT_ROOT/plugins/<id> when there was no plugin
manager: GET /plugins/config's of-the-day data, POST /plugins/action, the
plugin static-file route, the calendar credentials upload and the calendar
OAuth routes. The loader never scans plugins/ (PluginManager.discover_plugins
reads only the configured directory, plugin-repos by default), so what they
found there was a plugin that never runs. _plugin_directory() asks the
manager and answers None without one, which each route already reports as
"not found".

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 4e61d7248a refactor(web): one error-response path for api_v3 (#624)
* refactor(web): answer unhandled api_v3 errors from one blueprint handler

Fifty-three api_v3 routes ended in a copy of the same catch-all: log the
traceback, return {status, "An error occurred; see logs for details",
details: describe_exception(e)} with a 500. They are replaced by one
errorhandler on the api_v3 blueprint that returns exactly that body.

It lives on the blueprint rather than falling through to app.py's global
handler because the two answers differ: the global one adds
error_code: UNKNOWN_ERROR, and api_client.js sends a body with an
error_code to the error modal and one without to a plain toast. A
blueprint handler also gives tests that mount api_v3 on a bare Flask app
the same answer the real app gives.

Only handlers that were byte-for-byte that shape were removed (matched on
the AST, and each rewritten function re-parsed and compared). Handlers
with their own message, extra keys, operation-history records or cleanup
stay, as does execute_plugin_action's step-1 handler, which sits inside
an `except subprocess.TimeoutExpired` arm that would otherwise turn a
plugin's timeout into a 408.

HTTPExceptions raised inside a route go back as themselves in the global
handler's 4xx shape. Where a removed catch-all used to swallow one (only
delete_plugin_asset's non-silent get_json() is reachable), a malformed
request now gets its 415/400 instead of a 500.

Most of the diff is re-indentation from unwrapping the try blocks;
`git diff -w` shows the real change.

* fix(web): plugin action errors name the real failure, not UnboundLocalError

execute_plugin_action bound a local `logger` in its JSON-parsing arm,
which made `logger` local to the whole function. Every other
`logger.error` in it then raised UnboundLocalError, so a failing OAuth
step-1 script was reported as "UnboundLocalError: cannot access local
variable 'logger'" -- from the step-1 handler, and before the previous
commit from the route's outer catch-all too. Use the module logger.

Found by comparing every api_v3 route's forced-failure response before
and after the catch-all consolidation.

* refactor(web): drop the error category and exception-name code guessing

WebInterfaceError derived an ErrorCategory from every error code and put
it in each structured error body as `error_category`. Nothing reads it:
not the web UI (static/ and templates/), not the tests beyond the ones
pinning the mapping itself, and not any plugin in ledmatrix-plugins. The
enum, the inference table and the JSON key go.

from_exception() could also guess an error code from the exception's
class name ("Config" -> CONFIG_LOAD_FAILED, and so on). Every caller
passes a code, so the guess never ran; error_code is now required.

suggested_fixes stays: the error dialog in static/v3/js/utils/
error_handler.js lists them.

The REST reference loses error_category and says what an unanticipated
exception in an /api/v3 route answers.

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

* refactor(web): one call for the from_exception error responses

Nine plugin routes built a structured error by hand:

    from src.web_interface.errors import WebInterfaceError
    error = WebInterfaceError.from_exception(e, ErrorCode.X)
    return error_response(error.error_code, error.message,
                          details=error.details, context=error.context,
                          status_code=500)

That is now exception_error_response(e, ErrorCode.X) in api_helpers, so
error_response() is the only structured-error entry point the routes
use. The three operation-history routes never passed the context, and
with_context=False keeps their bodies exactly as they were; a test
compares the helper against the hand-written pair for both forms.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 116abb0daa fix: September 16 core audit — partial saves, asset path safety, auto-update, display settings the library refuses, scroll speed (#595)
* fix(sports): share the ESPN rejected-range memo with the background service

BackgroundDataService always sent a season range first and, on a 400,
fell back to chunks without recording the rejection, so every background
season fetch spent a doomed request and live scoreboards learned nothing
from it (or it from them). The worker now consults and sets the same
6-hour memo fetch_espn_scoreboard() uses: a known rejection goes straight
to month/day chunks, and if every chunk fails the range is asked once for
a real error without re-spending the chunks.

* fix(web): keep plugin asset and action routes inside their directories

POST /plugins/assets/upload, GET /plugins/assets/list and POST
/plugins/assets/delete joined the request's plugin_id onto assets/plugins
unchecked, so '../../config' created, wrote, listed and deleted outside
it. #561 guarded only the route that serves the files. All three now go
through path_safety.resolve_under and answer 400 for anything but a
plain name, and delete only unlinks a metadata path that resolves into
that plugin's uploads directory.

PluginManager.get_plugin_directory refuses ids that are not one plain
path segment, so /plugins/action (which runs a manifest script from the
returned directory) and every other caller get the guard; the action
route also rejects such ids up front, covering its no-manager fallback.

* fix(web): report a no-op plugin update as already up to date

update_plugin() returns True both for a real update and for "nothing to
do" (a ZIP-installed monorepo plugin already at the registry version, a
bundled plugin). With no git commit to compare, POST /plugins/update
called every such success "updated successfully", so Check & Update All
counted most official plugins as updated on every run.

The route now reads what changed off the plugin itself (commit, else
manifest version, else last_updated) and returns data.update_status
(updated / up_to_date / local_only). The update-all toast is summarised
by PluginInstallManager.summarizeUpdateResults from that status, falling
back to the message for older servers.

* fix(sports): scoreboard scroll speed no longer follows target_fps

sports_scroll computed the crisp speed ladder against the global
target_fps whenever limit_refresh_rate_hz was the 100 Hz default. Since
frame-locked presentation (#545) the helper steps a fixed number of whole
pixels per presented frame and the panel presents at its real refresh, so
the General tab's "Scroll Frame Rate" became a speed multiplier: 60 ran a
50 px/s scoreboard at 100 px/s, 200 ran it at 25 px/s.

The ladder now uses the display manager's refresh_hz, then
display.hardware.limit_refresh_rate_hz, then the default. target_fps is
not consulted. Docstrings now say scroll_delay is ignored for pacing (no
behaviour change there) and describe the fixed-step model.

Tests: replace the tests that pinned target_fps as the ladder refresh and
described time-based stepping; assert speed independence from target_fps
(unit and end-to-end presented px/s against the real helper), that the
fixed per-frame step is applied, and that scroll_delay does not change
speed.

* fix(web): escape registry and upload values in plugin manager inline handlers

The store, saved-repository and custom-registry buttons built
onclick='...(${JSON.stringify(id)})...'. JSON.stringify leaves ' alone,
so a custom registry entry whose id contained ' closed the attribute and
added its own handler. One helper, jsStringAttr(), now HTML-escapes the
JSON literal for every one of those handlers, and the store View button
opens only http(s) repo links.

The live window.updateImageList (plugins_manager.js loads last, so its
copy wins over the file-upload widget's) wrote the uploaded file's
original name, path and ids into markup raw; they are escaped now.

* fix(update): let the root pip wrapper install web_interface/requirements.txt

Update Code, the automatic update's health check and Install Base
Requirements install web_interface/requirements.txt through
safe_pip_install.sh, which only allowed the root requirements.txt. The
first commit changing that file would fail its dependency install, and
the automatic updater rolls back any update whose dependencies did not
install -- on every device, for every newer commit.

The wrapper now lists both core requirement files. Only their folders
are resolved, so a requirements.txt symlinked out of the project is
compared by its target and refused (previously the root file's own
symlink target was what got allowed). The updater's file list is a
named constant, and a test runs the real wrapper (pip stubbed) on
every file Update Code and the rollback install.

* fix(web): do not retry plugin requests that got an HTTP answer

PluginAPI.request wrapped everything that was not a structured error as
NETWORK_ERROR: a proxy's 502 HTML page (response.json() throws) and a
JSON error without error_code included. Check & Update All retries
NETWORK_ERROR, so those updates were re-sent five more times with
backoff, contrary to the #587 contract that an HTTP error response is
the server's answer.

NETWORK_ERROR now means only that fetch() rejected. Any HTTP response
without an error_code, or with a body that is not JSON, is API_ERROR
with the HTTP status attached. Tested against the shipped api_client.js.

* fix(scroll): restart the stats window when an idle gap is dropped by size

#582 dropped an idle gap from the frame stats two ways: the reset_scroll()
sentinel, which also restarts the 5s window timer, and a size guard for
scrollers that never call reset_scroll(), which did not. On that path the
first real frame after the gap found the boundary overdue and logged a
stats line for a one-frame window. Both paths now share one seeding helper.

* fix(update): leave plugins alone when update_core's own rollback fails

update_core returns rollback_failed directly when a partial pull or an
update whose health check never started cannot be rolled back. run()
only held plugins back for 'verifying', so those devices still got new
plugin versions and a display restart on top of a core in an unknown
state -- the opposite of what the health-check path does, and of the
3.4.0 changelog (plugins are left alone if the rollback fails).

* docs(api): make the REST reference match the api_v3 package

Every documented request body, query parameter and response shape was

Fixes calls that failed as documented (repo_url, action_id/params,
files/image_id, font_file+font_family, ?font=, cache key,
auto_enable_ap_mode, plugin limit keys), removes the font-override
endpoints dropped in #566, corrects response shapes (plugins/config,
plugins/schema, health, metrics, operation history, github-status,
fonts/catalog, cache/list, logs, wifi, on-demand, SSE streams), and adds
the 26 routes it omitted (backup, system auto-update/git, wifi radio,
starlark editor, MQTT bridge, status endpoints, skins).

Documents the merge semantics of partial JSON saves to /config/main and
/plugins/config and the dim-schedule POST accepting GET's days shape,
which land in the same change set. Replaces app.py line numbers and the
removed api_v3.py path with file and function names.

* fix(web): remove the General-tab plugin system toggles that did nothing

plugin_system.auto_discover, auto_load_enabled and development_mode had
General-tab toggles whose help tips promised dormant plugins and verbose
logging, but nothing reads them: every enabled plugin is discovered and
loaded regardless. Remove the three toggles.

The keys stay tolerated in stored configs. The save handler now stores
a flag only when a client sends it; treating a missing key as an
unchecked box would otherwise rewrite all three to false on every
General-tab save, which still posts plugins_directory.

* refactor(scroll): remove dead code left by #523/#570

- Drop the optional scipy.ndimage import and HAS_SCIPY; nothing read
  them since the numpy blend replaced the scipy path.
- Drop ScrollHelper._last_integer_position and frame_time_target, which
  were written but never read.
- Keep target_fps and set_target_fps() but document them as
  informational: nothing paces off them, yet ledmatrix-elections'
  test_scroll_pacing.py reads helper.target_fps back and third-party
  plugins may call the setter.
- Fix stale comments: fixed_pixels_per_frame's "use scroll_delay to
  throttle", set_sub_pixel_scrolling's "default: True", and
  set_frame_based_scrolling's claim that it steps.

The plugins monorepo was grepped for every removed name; none is used.

* docs(fonts): point plugins at plugin_manager.font_manager; drop removed overrides UI

FONT_MANAGER.md told plugins to read display_manager.font_manager, which
does not exist, so a plugin following it failed to load with
AttributeError. The shared FontManager lives on the PluginManager and
BasePlugin._get_font_manager() returns it (with a fallback for harnesses).

Also removes the Fonts-tab override workflow and element-override panels
that #566 deleted, from FONT_MANAGER.md and WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md.

Content-Type, so the handlers saw an empty body and answered 400.

* fix(config): use the shared core-key list in the last three private copies

StartupValidator warned "Plugin 'auto_update' is enabled but not found" on
every display start with auto-update or a dim schedule on; the reserved
plugin-id check missed auto_update, sync, location and the rest; and
ConfigManager's (uncalled) orphan cleanup would have deleted display,
schedule and auto_update. All three now read src/core_config_keys.py, which
also gains CORE_SECRETS_KEYS for the github/youtube secrets sections.

* fix(web): partial JSON saves to /config/main change only what they send

A JSON body with one field reset every checkbox in the sections it touched:
the MQTT bridge's brightness slider turned off disable_hardware_pulsing,
inverse_colors, show_refresh_rate and use_short_date_format, and a
timezone-only save turned off web-UI autostart and weekly auto-updates.
Missing-means-unchecked now applies only to form posts: form-encoded bodies
and the v3 forms, which mark themselves with a hidden __form_section input.

Also on the config routes:
- vegas_min/max_cycle_duration no longer match the generic *_duration rule,
  so they stop landing in display_durations and a blank one no longer
  rejects the whole Display save;
- saving from the Raw JSON editor calls start_setup_if_needed like the
  General form, so enabling auto-update there finishes its setup;
- the schedule and dim-schedule POSTs accept the per-day days.<day> shape
  their GETs return, as well as the flat form keys.

* fix(scripts): install plugin dependencies from the configured plugins directory

install_plugin_dependencies.sh scanned only plugins/, but the Plugin
Store installs into plugin_system.plugins_directory (default
plugin-repos), so the documented "Recommended" fix found 0 plugins on
every store install. It now reads plugins_directory from
config/config.json (relative to the project root or absolute, default
plugin-repos) and also scans plugins/ for dev symlinks, installing a
plugin reached through both only once.

With set -e alone, `pip ... | tee` took tee's exit status, so a failed
pip install was reported as success; set -o pipefail.

* docs: replace stale API names, line numbers and the api_v3.py path

- ADVANCED_FEATURES: StreamManager methods that exist

- app.py:199 / :144 / :607-619 line citations and
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py (now a package) replaced with file and
  function names in ADVANCED_FEATURES, CONFIG_DEBUGGING,
  PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC, PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE,
  PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS, TROUBLESHOOTING and web_interface/README
- CONFIG_DEBUGGING: partial /config/main saves change only sent keys; use
  /config/raw/main to replace the file; describe where validation runs
- TROUBLESHOOTING: clear_cache.py needs --clear-all (no args only prints
  usage)

* fix(scripts): verify the web interface that actually ships, on port 5000

verify_installation.sh failed every healthy install: it required the
long-removed web_interface_v2.py and looked for a listener on port 5001,
while the web interface binds 5000 (web_interface/start.py). It now
checks the files ledmatrix-web.service runs (start_web_conditionally.py,
web_interface/start.py, app.py) and port 5000. verify_web_ui.sh had the
same 5001 port in its listen check, HTTP probe and printed URLs.

Port matches are anchored so :50001 no longer counts as :5000.

* docs(plugins): one display-size contract: display_manager.width/height

CLAUDE.md (#580) says to read display_manager.width/height because
matrix is None when hardware init fails; the development guide, the
safety-harness doc and two DisplayManager docstrings still recommended
matrix.width/height. The bundled starlark-apps plugin read matrix.width
unguarded, so its magnify recommendation and frame scaling raised in
fallback mode (e.g. after the Pi 5 hardware refusal).

* fix(install): make install_service.sh --help print usage instead of installing

install_service.sh parsed no arguments, so `sudo ./scripts/install/
install_service.sh --help` (presented as harmless in MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)
rewrote ledmatrix.service, ledmatrix-web.service and both update-verify
units and enabled/started them. It now handles -h/--help (usage, exit 0,
no changes) and rejects any other argument with exit 2 before doing
anything. Running it with no arguments, as first_time_install.sh does,
is unchanged.

* docs(scroll): describe the fixed-step model and document frame_hold

Since #545 a crisp speed from scroll_config.configure() makes the helper
advance a fixed whole-pixel step per presented frame with no clock, and the
display manager's frame hold is part of the speed. The docs still described
the removed wall-clock model:

- scroll_config's module and configure() docstrings said speed is applied
  in time-based mode and that omitting the hold "falls back to fractional
  pixels"; omitting it actually runs the scroll frame_hold times too fast.
- SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md said ScrollHelper accumulates elapsed time in both
  modes, and read a 20 ms stats median as missed refreshes although that
  is a healthy 50 px/s (hold 2) scroll. It now explains the fixed step,
  the hold-dependent healthy median, that target_fps plays no part, and
  that a hand-added scroll_pixels_per_second loses to a schema-default pair.
- PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md documented set_scrolling_state(is_scrolling)
  without frame_hold; it now documents the parameter (core 3.4.0) with a
  configure() + set_scrolling_state example.
- update_scroll_position/set_scroll_speed and set_scrolling_state
  docstrings say the same.

* docs(config): mark target_fps legacy; describe what Vegas scroll_delay does

- General tab "Scroll Frame Rate" (target_fps) is labelled legacy: after
  the sports_scroll fix nothing in core scrolling reads it. The field and
  its API validation stay so saved configs and plugins that read
  global_config['target_fps'] keep working. CONFIG_REFERENCE says the same.
- Vegas frame_based_scrolling/scroll_delay were described as frame-count
  stepping at ~50 FPS. Neither steps nor sets a frame rate: frame-based
  mode converts the speed to px per scroll_delay, clamps it to 0.1-5, and
  still advances by elapsed time, so the applied speed is
  clamp(scroll_speed * scroll_delay, 0.1, 5) / scroll_delay px/s. The
  config comments, render_pipeline comment and CONFIG_REFERENCE rows now
  say so. No behaviour change.

* docs(deps): describe how plugin dependencies are really installed

The guides said the web service runs as root, that installs pick --user
from os.geteuid(), and quoted a warning and a
PluginManager._install_plugin_dependencies() method that don't exist. The
web unit runs as the installing user; store installs go through
install_requirements_file() and sudo safe_pip_install.sh (root), with a
user-level fallback that says so, and load-time installs run in the
display service's own (root) interpreter.

Manual paths now use the configured plugins directory (plugin-repos/ by
default) instead of plugins/, which store installs no longer use, and
install_plugin_dependencies.sh is described as scanning that directory.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(update): count local changes one way for the preflight and the pull

The automatic update's preflight ignored mode-only changes and anything
whose status line contained plugins/ or plugin-repos/, then promised
"Automatic updates will not stash your changes". perform_core_update
used plain git status (modes count) and ignored only 'plugins/', then
ran 'git stash push -- :!plugins', which nothing ever pops. So an edit
to a bundled plugin under plugin-repos/, or the installer's chmods on
tracked scripts, passed the preflight and was stashed away for good.

- auto_update.local_changes() is the one predicate both use:
  core.fileMode=false, porcelain -z, and plugins/ and plugin-repos/
  excluded by leading folder rather than substring (a core file under
  web_interface/static/v3/js/plugins/ now counts).
- Update Code's explicit stash leaves out both plugin folders; the
  pull's --autostash carries their edits and mode changes across and
  reapplies them.
- The automatic updater calls perform_core_update(stash_local_changes=
  False), which refuses instead of stashing edits that appeared after
  the preflight; update_core reports that as 'blocked'.

* fix(scripts): diagnostics follow the web autostart default and api_v3 package

#556 made a missing web_display_autostart mean "start" (only an explicit
false/off keeps the web interface down), but the diagnostics still said
otherwise: diagnose_web_ui.sh reported a missing key as "defaults to
false", diagnose_web_interface.sh said the web interface "will not start
unless this is set to true" and recommended enabling it, and
debug_web_manual.py printed False. Troubleshooting a down web UI pointed
users at a non-cause.

Both shell scripts now evaluate the setting with the launcher's own
autostart_enabled() (inline fallback if it cannot be imported) and report
on / off / not set (on) / unparseable config; debug_web_manual.py uses
the same function. They also check web_interface/blueprints/api_v3/
__init__.py: api_v3.py became a package in #553, so every healthy
checkout was reported as missing a file.

README.md). MIGRATION_GUIDE presented 'sudo install_service.sh --help'

real run does. SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: verify_installation.sh

* fix(display): size the preview after orientation and pixel mappers

display_geometry.physical_size claimed to give DisplayManager's answer but
only computed cols*chain x rows*parallel. RGBMatrix.width/height are measured
after the library's pixel mappers, so a Rotate:90 / orientation 90 chain
previewed 128x32 for a 32x128 panel and a U-mapper chain of four 256x32 for
128x64.

Model the built-in mappers' size effect as the pinned lib/pixel-mapper.cc
does (Rotate, U-mapper, V-mapper, StackToRow, Remap; Mirror and unknown
names leave it alone), and move the orientation composition here so
DisplayManager and the preview share it. The module docstring no longer
claims the sync handshake uses it; that imports only DEFAULT_CHAIN_LENGTH.

Audit finding F18.

* fix(display): refuse settings the rgbmatrix library aborts on, on every board

The library answers several settings with a NULL matrix or abort() rather
than an error, so the display service crash-looped (Restart=on-failure)
instead of reaching fallback mode: rows above 64, chain_length above 255
(uint8_t binding setter, documented as "no upper limit"), a misspelled
hardware_mapping, and parallel 2-3 on a single-output mapping, reachable
from the Display form on the default adafruit-hat(-pwm) mapping. #586 only
guarded the Pi 5 subset.

- src/matrix_support.py holds the rules for every board (Options::Validate
  ranges, binding integer types, mapping names and outputs from
  lib/hardware-mapping.c) plus the Pi 5 ones, and is the one source of the
  API's numeric ranges.
- DisplayManager checks them before building options and raises
  MatrixSettingsRefused, so a hand-edited config falls back with a logged,
  reported reason. Emulator mode only warns.
- The config API refuses them with a 400 naming the setting; combinations
  are checked against stored values but reported only when the request
  sets a field involved.
- The hardware status file gains "cause" (settings/library/forced). The
  fallback log and Display banner give the Pi 5 rebuild hint only for a
  library failure instead of rebuild + gpio_slowdown advice for every
  failure; one Pi 5 slowdown recommendation (1-3, start at 1).
- The Display form offers classic/classic-pi1 and orientation 90/270 and
  renders any other stored mapping selected with a warning, so an
  unrelated save no longer rewrites them; the API accepts 90/270.

Audit findings F03, F16, F19, F21.

* docs(display): library limits, template defaults and Pi 5 slowdown

- rows 8-64, chain_length 1-255, parallel limited by the mapping's outputs,
  classic/classic-pi1 mappings and orientation 90/270 documented.
- Defaults are the config.template.json values: config migration adds
  missing keys from the template, so the listed "code defaults" never
  applied.
- One Raspberry Pi 5 gpio_slowdown recommendation: 1-3 in PIO mode,
  starting at 1.
- Troubleshooting describes the refused-settings fallback, and CHANGELOG
  corrects the Unreleased "no upper limit" entry.

Audit findings F19, F20, F21.

* fix(scripts): scroll_speeds.py opens the panel with the service's options

--measure and --demo built RGBMatrixOptions from a private copy of the
display service's builder that had drifted: gpio_slowdown came from
display.hardware (default 2) instead of display.runtime (default 3), and
rp1_rio, panel_type, disable_hardware_pulsing, inverse_colors,
pixel_mapper_config and orientation were skipped, with different defaults
(hardware_mapping "regular", pwm_bits 11). A panel needing a high slowdown
was measured -- or garbled -- in a setup the service never drives.

The option filling in DisplayManager._setup_matrix moves, unchanged, into
DisplayManager.apply_matrix_options(options, config), which _setup_matrix
calls and the script reuses (overriding only limit_refresh_rate_hz for
--measure). The script now loads the whole config rather than the hardware
block. Tests pin the script's options to the service's attribute for
attribute.

* fix(scripts): scroll_speeds.py recommends keys the resolver honours

The ladder ended by telling users to set
display_options.scroll_pixels_per_second. scroll_config ranks that key
below the scroll_speed + scroll_delay pair, deliberately, and several
plugin schemas default the pair into config, so the advised key was
silently ignored (a schema-default 1/0.02 pair plus an advised 66 still
resolved to 50 px/s).

The advice is now the pair that selects the crisp speed exactly
(pixels_per_frame every frame_hold/refresh seconds), explains that the
pair outranks scroll_pixels_per_second, and gives the scoreboards'
per-league scroll_settings.scroll_speed (px/s) form. Tests resolve the
printed pair over a schema-default pair and check it lands on the
advertised speed and hold.

* docs: withdraw the target_fps claim for sports_scroll; fix the Vegas speed formula

- SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md still presented honouring global target_fps as
  sports_scroll's added behaviour and its one user-visible gain; note that
  it was withdrawn because it had become a speed multiplier.
- ADVANCED_FEATURES.md gave Vegas scrolling as
  (scroll_speed / target_fps) * elapsed; the real rule is scroll_speed px/s
  by elapsed time, through a 0.1-5 px per scroll_delay clamp when
  frame_based_scrolling is on.

* fix(dev): link-github links plugins from the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo

link-github <name> cloned https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-<name>.git,
and those per-plugin repositories no longer exist: official plugins are
directories in the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo. It now clones (or pulls) the
monorepo once into the dev directory, finds plugins/<name>,
plugins/ledmatrix-<name> or the plugin whose manifest id is <name>, and
links it under its manifest id. With an explicit repo URL it still links a
single-repository plugin as before.

dev_plugins.json: github_user is honoured again (monorepo owner, e.g. a
fork), plus plugins_repo and plugins_branch; github_pattern, which was
documented but never read, is dropped and warned about. Ships
dev_plugins.json.example and git-ignores dev_plugins.json, both of which
the guide promised. Reading JSON falls back to python3 when jq is missing
(get_plugin_id silently returned nothing without jq).

update/status/list find the git checkout above a monorepo plugin
directory (its .git is not in the plugin dir), and update pulls a shared
checkout once. status no longer exits 1 when nothing is broken.

Docs: PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE (quick start, link-github, configuration,
workflow, store integration, hello-world link, submission), and the
nonexistent scripts/git-hooks/pre-push-plugin-version and
scripts/bump_plugin_version.py replaced with the real rule: bump the
manifest version and run update_registry.py. scripts/dev/README.md and
CLAUDE.md updated to match.

* docs(scripts): monorepo workspace layout; fix_perms and install READMEs

MULTI_ROOT_WORKSPACE_SETUP described one sibling repository per plugin;
setup_plugin_repos.py links ../ledmatrix-plugins/plugins/* into
plugin-repos/ and update_plugin_repos.py pulls only the monorepo, and the
workspace file opens LEDMatrix plus ../ledmatrix-plugins.

scripts/fix_perms/README.md listed cache directories
fix_cache_permissions.sh never touches and a 'ledmatrix' service user
that doesn't exist (also in scripts/install/README.md); adds
safe_pip_install.sh. install/README: install_service.sh installs the web
and update-verify units too.

* fix(update): keep the rollback's pip retries inside the unit time limit

The health check reinstalled the previous requirements by trying the
next bash path after any failure, including a 600 s pip timeout. Two
files, two paths: up to 40 minutes of pip alone, while systemd stops
ledmatrix-update-verify.service at TimeoutStartSec=30min -- killing the
rollback half-way and leaving the update 'verifying' until the web UI
calls it lost.

- Like permission_utils.install_requirements_file, only a sudo refusal
  moves on to the next bash; a pip that ran and failed or timed out is
  not repeated. The refusal wording is one list
  (permission_utils.SUDO_REFUSAL_PHRASES), mirrored in the stdlib-only
  verifier and pinned equal by a test.
- All reinstalls in one rollback share a 600 s budget.
- WORST_CASE_SECONDS adds up every timeout on the longest path (27.5
  min); a test holds it under the unit's TimeoutStartSec and that under
  the web UI's VERIFY_LOST_SECONDS.

* fix(plugins): prepare plugin configs one way for load, saves, GET, hot reload and dev tools

Plugin config was prepared differently depending on how it arrived:

- JSON POST /plugins/config built a partial body on schema defaults, so
  {"enabled": true} reset every other setting of the plugin. It now merges
  onto the stored section first, as the form path already did.
- Legacy-boolean normalization (#588) ran only at load: GET /plugins/config
  returned the raw boolean, posting it back failed validation, and hot
  reload handed plugins the raw section (a legacy dynamic_duration: true
  came back as a boolean). schema_manager.prepare_plugin_config (normalize,
  then defaults) is now used by PluginManager.load_plugin, both save paths,
  GET, the save notifications and DisplayController's hot-reload callback.
- The JSON save's filter kept only enabled/display_duration/live_priority
  and dropped a submitted skin, skin_options or vegas_* tuning key. There
  is now one core-owned per-plugin list, schema_manager.CORE_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES,
  used by validation and by the save filter; PluginManager's
  CORE_OWNED_CONFIG_KEYS is its vegas subset.
- Plugin sections posted to /config/main were stored verbatim, including
  values /plugins/config rejects. They now go through the same preparation
  (_prepare_plugin_config_for_save, extracted from save_plugin_config), and
  a failing section rejects the whole save before anything is written.
- dev_server read only top-level defaults and let a schema enabled:false
  win; build_full_config shallow-merged overrides, dropping sibling
  defaults; the harness extracted defaults differently from the device.
  loading.build_config now uses the device's extraction and preparation,
  and dev_server, check_plugin, render_plugin and the harness all use it.

* test(auto-update): make the seed script executable on disk, not only in the index

chmod across. Verified under Linux (WSL, git 2.43): the old helper fails
exactly as CI did, the fixed one passes all 63 tests in the file.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 869e36fb2f feat(web): weekly automatic updates with health check and rollback (#581)
* feat(web): weekly automatic updates with health check and rollback

A General-tab toggle (off by default) checks for and installs LEDMatrix and
plugin updates once a week, overnight in the configured timezone.

- Pre-update checks skip (and report) instead of forcing: local edits or
  commits, merge/live rebase, no upstream, low disk, missing health check, or
  a version that was already rolled back. An abandoned rebase (HEAD back on a
  branch) is cleared, since it would otherwise block every pull.
- The pull reuses the Update Code path (now perform_core_update(), which
  reports dependency install failures as data).
- ledmatrix-update-verify.service, started via a .path unit from a request
  file, restarts the services from its own cgroup, requires them to come up
  and stay up, and otherwise resets to the previous commit and reinstalls the
  previous requirements. It runs a copy of the checker taken before the pull.
- No SSH needed: switching the toggle on restarts the display service, which
  (as root) installs the two units from the repo templates for the web user.
  first_time_install.sh installs them too and takes --enable-auto-update /
  LEDMATRIX_AUTO_UPDATE (passed through by one-shot-install.sh).
- Plugins update after the code passes its check; failures, blocks and
  rollbacks raise an Overview banner and show under the toggle.

Tested end to end on a Pi: web-UI setup, a good update, a broken web service
and a broken display (both rolled back), a blocked local edit, and an
abandoned rebase found on the device.

* chore(auto-update): address static-analysis findings

- Replace the subprocess.CompletedProcess the verifier fabricated for a
  command that could not start with a plain namedtuple; nothing is executed
  there, but the scanner flags any CompletedProcess built from variables.
- Mark the subprocess imports with the repo's standard B404 annotation (all
  calls are list-form argv, no shell).
- Mark the rollback-failed message as not SQL (B608 matched its wording).

* fix(auto-update): CI failures on Linux

- Keep the setup result when chown fails. CI runs as a non-root user, where
  chown to the web user raises; that discarded the result file, so the
  General tab would never learn whether setup worked. Regression test added.
- Register the two new /api/v3/system/auto-update routes in the URL map
  snapshot.
- Use utility classes app.css defines (space-y-1, hover:text-red-600).

* fix(auto-update): address review feedback

- Health check: a failed restart command no longer lets the check run
  against the still-running old process; it counts as a failure (and after a
  rollback, as a failed rollback). An unreadable restart count is never
  treated as stable, since a crash loop looks healthy between attempts.
- Installer writes the auto_update setting to a temp file and swaps it in,
  keeping mode and owner, so a running config watcher never reads a
  truncated config.json.
- Verify unit quotes its command-line paths (install folders with spaces);
  setup refuses folder names systemd would reinterpret (%, quotes,
  backslashes, control characters) and says so on the General tab.
- The auto-update status route no longer returns exception text.

* fix(auto-update): keep error detail in the status route's 500

test_web_error_detail requires every 5xx handler to log the traceback and
return describe_exception(e), which redacts credentials, so failures are
diagnosable from the web UI. Dropping it for CodeQL broke that policy.

* fix(auto-update): dismiss route rejects non-object JSON with 400

A JSON array or scalar body made `.get('alert_id')` raise, returning 500.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(auto-update): let the app-wide handler answer status-route errors

CodeQL (py/stack-trace-exposure, #709) flagged the route's own except,
which returned describe_exception(e). web_interface/app.py's error handler
already logs the traceback and returns the same redacted detail for any
unhandled exception, so the local copy is removed: same response, no new
exception-to-response flow, and test_web_error_detail's policy still holds.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 bdb9a94033 refactor(api-v3): split the 10,469-line blueprint into a package (#553)
* refactor(api-v3): split the 10,469-line blueprint into a package

web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py held 111 routes, 56 helpers and 181
functions in one module -- 9% of the core by line count and three times the
next largest file. It becomes a package of nine route modules grouped by path
segment, plus __init__.py for the shared imports, constants, Blueprint and
helpers.

Every route module decorates the SAME api_v3 Blueprint object, so endpoint
names stay api_v3.<function>, the URL map is unchanged and app.py is untouched.
Verified: 111 routes before, 111 after, byte-identical rules, endpoints and
methods, and every endpoint still on the one blueprint.

  plugins   3,867   config    1,178   starlark  692   system  619
  fonts       452   misc        398   wifi      361   display 326   backup 212
  __init__  1,787 (imports, constants, Blueprint, 56 helpers)

Two things the URL-map check could not catch, both found by running the suite:

1. PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).parent.parent.parent. Moving the code one
   directory deeper made that resolve to web_interface/ instead of the project
   root. Nothing failed at import; it surfaced as ~110 tests failing with 404s
   and "installation script not found", because every path built from it was
   one level too shallow. Now parents[3], and test_api_v3_url_map.py asserts
   PROJECT_ROOT/run.py exists so the next move cannot repeat it.

2. Module-attribute patching. Tests do
   monkeypatch.setattr(api_v3_module, "_BACKUP_EXPORT_DIR", ...) and a route
   module that binds such a name by value never sees the patch. The shared code
   therefore stays in __init__.py rather than moving to a _common submodule --
   it has to live on the module the tests patch -- and the eleven names tests
   patch are read back through the package (_pkg.X) instead of bound by value.
   Those eleven were found by AST-scanning every setattr in the test tree, not
   by guessing; "time" is among them, used to drive a fake clock through the
   second-resolution credential-backup filenames.

Test changes are confined to what genuinely moved: patch targets that now name
the owning route module, imports of helpers, and six tests that scan the api_v3
source as a file and now read the package directory.

Full suite: 4,278 passed, 68 skipped, 0 failed.

* fix(api-v3): address CodeRabbit findings from the blueprint-split review

Fixes to the api_v3 package split (PR #553), one per finding verified
against the actual code:

- __init__.py: _redact_credentials only blanked scalar values under a
  credential-named key; a bare list of secrets under such a key (e.g.
  tokens: ["a", "b"]) passed through untouched, since the list branch
  recursed with no memory that its key looked like a credential. Nested
  dicts still walk normally (a documented, tested behaviour -- a container
  like secrets: {api_key: ..., note: ...} is a section name, not a value to
  blank outright), but any value reached under a credential-shaped key is
  now actually blanked.

- __init__.py: the OAuth helper script's raw stderr/stdout went to
  logger.error unredacted (CWE-532) right next to a comment claiming this
  was deliberate; the HTTP response already used the existing redact_text
  helper. Routed the log line through the same helper.

- __init__.py / starlark.py: the standalone Starlark manifest fallback
  (used when the plugin instance isn't loaded) read-modified-wrote
  manifest.json with no lock, unlike StarlarkAppsPlugin._update_manifest_safe
  (plugin-repos/starlark-apps/manager.py), which already holds an flock for
  the same file when the plugin is loaded. Added _starlark_manifest_lock,
  mirroring that pattern, and wrapped every standalone read-modify-write
  call site in it. The app-config update route also wrote config.json and
  the manifest as two separate, non-transactional writes (a second,
  distinct finding at the same call site); config.json is now rolled back
  if the manifest write that follows it fails.

- backup.py: restore options used bare bool() on values from the request,
  so {"restore_secrets": "false"} restored secrets anyway (bool("false") is
  True). Switched to the existing _coerce_to_bool helper already used for
  this exact purpose elsewhere in the package.

- config.py: an automated import-rewrite mangled four user-facing
  validation strings and their neighbouring comments -- "Invalid start
  time" had become "Invalid start _pkg.time" (and likewise for "end time")
  in both the schedule and dim-schedule per-day validation paths.

- display.py: `import _pkg.time as time_module` -- _pkg is a local alias
  for the package, not a real importable module, so this raised
  ModuleNotFoundError whenever a caller restarted an already-running
  display service via /display/on-demand/start, after the on-demand
  request was already written to cache. Fixed to `import time`. Audited
  the rest of the package for the same `_pkg.<module>` import mistake;
  every other `_pkg.` reference is a legitimate attribute read-through
  (`_pkg.time.time()`, `_pkg._get_starlark_plugin()`, ...), not a broken
  import statement.

- fonts.py: validate_file_upload's max_size_mb parameter is silently
  unused by that helper (it only checks filename/extension) -- the font
  upload route saved arbitrarily large files as a result. Added the same
  seek-and-check pattern already used for the sibling .star upload.

- wifi.py: two ad hoc, inconsistent bool coercions. POST
  /wifi/ap/auto-enable used bare bool(), so a JSON string "false" enabled
  it. POST /wifi/radio's enabled/force parsing recognized real bool and
  some strings but not int 1/0 (1 is True is False in Python). Factored one
  small _parse_bool_ish helper local to this file and used it at all three
  sites.

Not changed: the "unknown/misspelled restore option keys default to True"
half of the backup.py finding -- the file's own comment documents that a
missing key deliberately means "restore everything," matching the
already-existing JSON-parse-failure guard a few lines above it; only the
bool-coercion defect was a real bug.

Added or extended regression tests for every fix, following each area's
existing test conventions. Full suite: 4328 passed, 62 skipped, 2 failed
on both this branch and origin/main (missing tzdata package breaks two
timezone-alias tests in test_onboarding_checklist.py, unrelated to this
change) -- no new failures.

* fix(api-v3): reject unknown restore option keys

CodeRabbit's review of the blueprint split (#553) asked that
POST /backup/restore reject option keys outside RestoreOptions'
known set. The follow-up commit fixed the bool("false")-is-True
bug with _coerce_to_bool but never added the key check: a typo'd
or renamed key (e.g. "restoreSecrets") is silently ignored by
opts_dict.get(key, True), so the flag stays at its True default
and secrets get restored despite the caller's request saying
otherwise -- with no indication anything was wrong.

* fix(api-v3): address CodeRabbit findings on the blueprint split

- _redact_credentials: blank scalar descendants of objects reached
  through a credential-owned list (e.g. tokens: [{"value": "secret"}])
  regardless of field name -- the existing name-based walk only
  protected direct dict values under a credential key, not list items.
- wifi.py: reject enabled/force/auto_enable_ap_mode values
  _parse_bool_ish can't recognize (400) instead of silently treating
  them as False, which could disable Wi-Fi or the radio itself.
- Starlark manifest locking: lock a stable manifest.json.lock sidecar
  instead of manifest.json itself, in both the standalone route path
  (_starlark_manifest_lock) and the plugin path
  (StarlarkAppsPlugin._save_manifest / _update_manifest_safe).
  manifest.json is replaced by an atomic rename on every write, which
  swaps in a fresh inode; a lock held on the old inode does not
  exclude a second locker that opens the path afresh right after the
  rename and gets the new inode, so two writers could race despite
  each holding "a lock". A sidecar that no write ever touches always
  resolves to the same inode for every locker.

Skipped as stale: the "serialize the complete manifest
read-modify-write" finding at api_v3/__init__.py -- every standalone
handler that calls _write_starlark_manifest is already wrapped in
_starlark_manifest_lock() on this branch.

* fix(api-v3): re-check reconciliation findings by the reconciler's own rules

Both CodeRabbit findings on the merge commit, verified against the code first.

Major, plugins.py: the stale-findings filter derived its own notion of "in
config" and "on disk", and both were looser than the reconciliation module's.
set(load_config()) also contains system keys, the secrets-file keys load_config()
merges in, and non-dict values; and any directory holding a manifest.json
counted as installed even when that manifest does not parse. Either looseness
clears a finding that is still true -- and a secrets key read as a plugin is the
precise bug the filter exists to stop reporting, so reintroducing that asymmetry
while re-checking was the wrong way round.

The two extractions now live in state_reconciliation.py as config_plugin_ids()
and disk_plugin_ids(), with ignored_config_keys() and secrets_top_level_keys()
alongside. _get_config_state() and _get_disk_state() use them too, so there is
one definition rather than two that can drift. _get_disk_state() re-reads each
manifest for version/name after taking membership from the shared extractor;
that costs one extra small read per plugin on a path that runs once per boot.

Minor, the new test: the fixture assigned api_v3.config_manager and
api_v3.plugin_manager directly. Those live on a module-level blueprint
singleton, so the mocks leaked into every later test that imports api_v3 --
pointing at a tmp_path already deleted. Both now go through monkeypatch.setattr,
which restores them. This is the same pollution class that made an earlier test
in this session break seven unrelated ones, so it is worth getting right.

Five cases added for the parity itself: a secrets key, a system key and a
non-dict value must not clear an "installed but missing from config" finding,
and neither an unparseable manifest nor a .standalone-backup- directory may
count as installed. All five fail against the looser version.

Linux CI on the preceding commit: Core unit tests, plugin harness, CodeQL and
CodeRabbit all pass. Codacy reads action_required on every commit of this
branch including the first, so it is pre-existing and not from this work.
