Claude 6edd6f9beb test: add regression guards for the bug classes fixed in this PR
Three lightweight static checks, all enrolled in CI's unit-test
allowlist along with the new web-cache test:

- test_template_targets.py: every literal render_template() target must
  exist (would have caught the weather/stocks partial 500s at commit
  time).
- test_widget_scripts.py: every widget JS file must be script-included
  in base.html or explicitly allowlisted with a reason (would have
  caught the unloaded time-picker/file-upload-single/plugin-file-manager
  widgets), and allowlisted files must NOT be included (prevents the
  example widget from shadowing the real color-picker).
- test_doc_links.py: relative markdown links in active docs must
  resolve (docs/archive/ exempt).

Each guard was verified to fail against the pre-PR tree and pass now.

Claude e1fa597b29 docs: archive the custom-icons status report, cross-link config docs, document assets/
PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md was a 'What Was Implemented' status
report duplicating the actual guide (PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS.md) — moved to
docs/archive/ per the docs index's own policy. The overlapping
plugin-config docs keep their content but PLUGIN_CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE.md
now states up front which doc is canonical for which purpose.

assets/README.md is new and load-bearing: assets/stocks, weather,
news_logos and broadcast_logos have zero references in this repo's code,
which makes them look deletable — but store plugins (ledmatrix-stocks,
ledmatrix-weather, news, odds-ticker) resolve those exact paths at
runtime against the install directory. The README records that evidence
so a future cleanup doesn't break installed plugins.

Claude 1073e7098a docs: bring the README's feature tour into the plugin era
The Core Features section still presented clock/weather/sports/stocks/
music displays as built into the project, when all of them are store
plugins installed from the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo — only
starlark-apps and web-ui-info ship in this repo. The intro now says so
(the showcase itself is unchanged; those are real displays available in
the store). The display_durations reference drops its built-in-calendar
example in favor of plugin-id keys, and the Configuration section links
the new CONFIG_REFERENCE.md.

Claude 1994a81617 docs: add a unified configuration reference
There was no single place documenting what lives in config.json —
display.* keys were scattered across README sections, vegas_scroll lived
in ADVANCED_FEATURES.md, and dim_schedule, display.double_sided,
sync.follower_position, plugin_system.development_mode and the four
newly-templated hardware keys were documented nowhere. CONFIG_REFERENCE.md
now lists every template key plus the code-read-only keys, each with
type, default, and the code location that reads it, and explains the
secrets file's plugin-id namespacing. Linked from the docs index.

Claude 0ec3431815 docs(code): document deliberate duplicates instead of merging them
The audit surfaced several near-duplicate implementations that turned
out to be either deliberate forks or behaviorally different — merging
any of them would risk changing behavior on installed devices, so each
now carries an explicit comment stating the relationship:

- VisualDisplayManager: headless fork of DisplayManager; header now
  lists the ~15 mirrored methods and warns that DisplayManager changes
  must be mirrored.
- normalize_abbreviation: LogoDownloader's version (called directly by
  nine scoreboard plugins) replaces filesystem-unsafe characters;
  LogoHelper's strips spaces. Logo filenames on existing installs
  depend on both behaviors staying put.
- The two PluginTestBase classes: the shipped one is plugin-author
  API, the repo's own richer harness lives in test/plugins/ — now
  cross-referenced.

Also verified (no change needed): ConfigManager's backup/rollback
methods genuinely delegate to AtomicConfigManager, and SportsCore
already delegates _read_bdf_native_size to FontManager.

Claude b68c1fa8fe refactor: single canonical DateTimeEncoder
src/cache_manager.py and src/cache/disk_cache.py each defined an
identical DateTimeEncoder (datetime -> ISO-8601). The disk_cache copy is
the only one actually used for serialization; cache_manager now
re-exports it instead of defining a twin, so the two can never silently
diverge. Import compatibility is preserved — from src.cache_manager
import DateTimeEncoder still works and is the same class object.

Claude 1ec22db2d1 chore(deps): remove packages nothing imports, declare direct imports, move mypy to test deps
Removed from requirements.txt: python-socketio, python-engineio,
websockets, websocket-client — zero imports anywhere in this repo, and
the one store plugin that needs Socket.IO (ledmatrix-music) declares it
in its own requirements.txt, which the plugin store installs. Removed
the same quartet plus timezonefinder, geopy, google-auth-oauthlib,
google-auth-httplib2, google-api-python-client, unidecode, icalevents,
python-dateutil, flask-wtf and the werkzeug pin from
web_interface/requirements.txt — all leftovers from the deleted built-in
weather/calendar/music displays (flask-wtf was doubly dead: app.py
explicitly disables CSRF and sets csrf=None). scripts/
install_dependencies_apt.py, which mirrors these lists for the
first-time installer, drops the same packages.

Added: urllib3 (imported directly in four core modules), jinja2 and
markupsafe (imported directly in pages_v3.py) — previously reachable
only as transitives. mypy moves from runtime requirements to
requirements-test.txt.

Verified in a fresh venv: all four requirements files co-install, pip
check is clean, the full CI-enrolled suite (907 tests) and a Flask boot
smoke pass with the trimmed dependency set.

Claude 45032f96e1 chore: drop the legacy youtube block from the secrets template
No code reads a top-level youtube secrets key: the youtube-stats plugin
receives its API key namespaced under its own plugin id (declared via
x-secret in its config schema), like every other store plugin. The key
survives only in state_reconciliation.py's non-plugin-key exclusion set,
which stays — existing installs still carry the key in their generated
config_secrets.json, and the exclusion prevents it from being
misclassified as a plugin config. New installs simply stop being asked
for a YouTube API key they have nowhere to use.

Claude e1efbaf6a2 fix(web): load the three widget scripts store plugins already declare
time-picker.js, file-upload-single.js and plugin-file-manager.js
register widgets that installed store plugins reference in their config
schemas (countdown uses x-widget: time-picker and file-upload-single;
of-the-day uses plugin-file-manager), but base.html never included the
scripts. plugin_config.html renders such fields as an empty container
that polls LEDMatrixWidgets.get(...) on a 50ms loop forever, so those
plugin config fields appeared permanently blank. The audit initially
flagged these files as dead code; the monorepo cross-check proved the
opposite — they were unreachable, not unused.

example-color-picker.js (the documented custom-widget example) gains an
explicit warning that including it in base.html would shadow the
built-in color-picker widget.

Claude 5ae1a2b7c4 chore: remove generate_report.py, which aggregates artifacts of CI jobs that do not exist
The script's only function is to merge JSON artifacts
(bandit/semgrep/pip-audit/safety/gitleaks results) produced by a
security-audit workflow that was never committed —
.github/workflows/ has no such jobs, so there is nothing for it to
aggregate and no way to run it usefully. Its siblings stay:
prove_security.py and audit_plugins.py both run standalone (verified),
and .codacy.yml stays because the Codacy service (README badge) reads it
server-side without a workflow file.

Claude 832bf32a8c chore: remove manager-era NBA test files and one-off debug scripts
The four test_nba_*.py files imported nba_managers, leaderboard_manager
and odds_manager — top-level modules deleted when sports displays became
plugins — inside try/except blocks that swallowed the ImportError, so
they passed while exercising nothing. test_nba_data_structure.py and
debug_nba_api.py (a diagnostic script living in test/) made live ESPN
API calls rather than testing repo code. None were enrolled in CI.

scripts/debug/direct_fix_imports.py and check_imports.py were one-shot
artifacts that edited/inspected a hardcoded ~/LEDMatrix/web_interface/
app.py to fix an import problem solved long ago; nothing references
them.

Claude a41cad6bc5 chore: remove dead modules confirmed unused in-repo and across all store plugins
- src/common/cli.py: imports a 'ledmatrix_common' package that exists
  nowhere (not in this repo, any requirements file, or the plugin
  monorepo), so it cannot ever have run; its README section claimed
  scripts/dev/* used it, which was also untrue.
- src/web_interface/logging_config.py: zero callers — the web app uses
  web_interface/logging_config.py (a different module), and nothing
  imports the src copy.
- handle_errors decorator in src/web_interface/error_handler.py: zero
  call sites (the module's response helpers stay — they are used).
- ConfigManager.get_clock_config(): reads a 'clock' config key that no
  longer exists anywhere; only caller was its own unit test.

Deliberately kept despite zero in-repo callers: DisplayError,
src/common/config_helper.py and display_helper.py — all documented as
plugin-facing API (docs/PLUGIN_ERROR_HANDLING.md, src/common/README.md),
and third-party plugins outside the official monorepo cannot be
enumerated. Verified against a fresh clone of ledmatrix-plugins (43
plugins): zero references to any removed symbol.

PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md, plugin_docs/ dir, TROUBLESHOOTING_QUICK_START.md,

check_updates.py, fix_permissions.sh) with the real tooling, and

Claude 2408309d84 docs: correct stale file:line references and the loader-fallback contradiction
CLAUDE.md and .cursorrules disagreed about plugin-directory fallback
behavior; the code (SchemaManager.get_schema_path) probes plugins/
BEFORE plugin-repos/, and the main discovery path has no fallback at
all — both files now describe the real behavior, preferring symbol names
over line numbers so the references rot slower. REST_API_REFERENCE.md
pointed at app.py:144/:607 for mounts that live at :199/:799 and counted
92 routes where there are 94. PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md's historical
banner gains a note that its example imports
(src/plugin_system/base_classes/*_plugin.py) never shipped — the real
base classes are src.base_classes.sports.SportsCore and
src.base_classes.hockey.Hockey.

Claude ab087cf600 fix(scripts): repair broken sys.path setup in utility scripts
clear_cache.py and download_nba_logos.py pointed sys.path at a 'src'
directory relative to the script's own folder (scripts/utils/src and
scripts/src — neither exists), so both crashed on import; they now insert
the project root and import via the src package like the other scripts.
debug_web_manual.py resolved 'project root' to scripts/debug/ instead of
two levels up. fix_nhl_cache.sh is removed: it used Python docstring
syntax in a bash script and invoked clear_nhl_cache.py, which does not
exist anywhere in the repo — it cannot ever have worked in its current
location.

Claude c0a2d2f301 fix(config): add template keys the code already reads
display.hardware gains pixel_mapper_config, row_address_type,
multiplexing and panel_type (read at display_manager.py with these exact
fallbacks — users on non-standard panels previously had no way to
discover them from the template). vegas_scroll gains
frame_based_scrolling and scroll_delay, the only two of its 27 keys the
template omitted (read in src/vegas_mode/config.py). plugin_system gains
development_mode, which the web UI reads and writes but the template
never declared.

Every added value is byte-identical to the code-side .get() fallback, so
ConfigManager._migrate_config() merging these keys into existing user
configs cannot change behavior on any installed device.

recommends the same range the web interface requires (all psutil APIs
used — Process, boot_time, cpu_percent, disk_usage, virtual_memory — are
stable in 6.x). Flask-Limiter gains the same <4.0 cap in both files and
freetype-py the same >=2.5.1 floor.

Claude 27ce5af714 fix(web): remove dead weather/stocks partial routes that returned 500
The partial dispatcher still routed 'weather' and 'stocks' to loaders
rendering v3/partials/weather.html and stocks.html — templates that no
longer exist since weather and stocks became store plugins. Requesting
either partial raised TemplateNotFound, which the catch-all turned into
a 500. No template or JS references these partials (the only 'weather'
hit in the front end is a plugin-store category filter option), so the
branches and both loader functions are removed; unknown partials now
fall through to the existing 404 handler.

5b81cca684 fix(espn): send an identifying User-Agent so ESPN stops returning 403 (#436)
Around 11:00 EDT on 2026-08-04 ESPN's site.api began rejecting the agents
this repo sends. Every scoreboard that goes through the shared data
sources returned `403 Client Error: Forbidden` — standings, game
summaries and scoreboards alike. A device that had been running fine
logged 287 ESPN errors in a day.

The filter is not the familiar one. Probing site.api across agents and
libraries, using requests as the plugins do:

    bare 'LEDMatrix/1.0'                     403   (with or without Accept)
    browser string                           403   (no header rescues it)
    'LEDMatrix/1.0 (+https://github.com/...)' 200
    requests / urllib / curl defaults        200

So it rejects browser-style strings outright and bare custom tokens, and
accepts honest client tokens or an agent that identifies the client and
links to it. The instinct to "just send a browser User-Agent" is now
exactly backwards — that is the one thing guaranteed to stay blocked.

Both call sites here sent a bare token: `LEDMatrix/1.0` in the sports
data sources and `LEDMatrix-Common/1.0` in the API helper. The Accept
header the data sources already sent does not save it. Both now send an
agent carrying the project URL, which also gives ESPN someone to contact
rather than an anonymous token to rate-limit.

Verified on a live device: ESPN errors went from a steady stream to zero
across a restart, with live MLB games fetching again.

d305be6089 fix(plugins): core's own config keys no longer flag plugins as degraded (#434)
Found while sweeping devpi for issues. Nine of 27 installed plugins were
reported degraded in the web UI -- including baseball-scoreboard and
f1-scoreboard -- for using a documented core feature.

The core reads three tuning keys out of each plugin's own config block:
vegas_width_pct and vegas_overflow (vegas_mode/plugin_adapter.py) and
vegas_max_width_screens (base_plugin.py). No plugin declares them, and 37 of
the 42 published config schemas set "additionalProperties": false -- so schema
validation reported them as violations.

That is not just log noise. _validate_config_schema_soft sets `degraded` in
the health tracker, which the web UI surfaces, so a user who tuned a core
Vegas setting saw the plugin marked broken.

The keys are stripped before validation. Fixing it plugin-side would mean 42
schema edits and 42 version bumps -- 42 store updates for a contract the core
owns.

Listed explicitly rather than matched on a `vegas_` prefix: vegas_mode is the
opposite case, plugin-owned and declared in schemas, and a prefix rule would
silently stop validating it.

Verified on devpi: degraded went 9 of 27 -> 0 of 27, schema-mismatch warnings
9 -> 0, 22 plugins still load, no tracebacks. 800 core unit tests pass,
8 of them new -- including that a genuine violation is still reported, so the
check has not been turned into a no-op, and that the caller's live config dict
is never mutated.

53af53b4a1 feat(store): evaluate compatible_versions, not just the floor (#433)
* feat(store): evaluate compatible_versions, not just the floor

Closes the gap CodeRabbit surfaced on #427. `compatible_versions` is the
canonical compatibility contract -- schema/manifest_schema.json marks it
required, all 42 published manifests carry it -- and it is the only field that
can express an *upper* bound. `ledmatrix_min_version` is a floor and cannot
say "not compatible with 4.x".

The gate read only the floor, so a plugin declaring ["2.0.0 - 2.9.9"] would be
installed on 3.2.0 regardless of having said it stops at 2.x.

check() now evaluates both and the more restrictive wins. The array is a set of
alternatives (satisfying any one entry suffices), supporting every form the
schema permits: >=, <=, >, <, ~, ^, a bare exact version, and an inclusive
"A - B" range, with prerelease/build suffixes tolerated.

Refusal still requires evidence. Anything unparseable, absent, or below
TRUSTWORTHY_FLOOR resolves to compatible.

That last point needed a new strict parser. parse_semver is deliberately
lenient -- it strips non-digits and yields (0, 0, 0) for a string with no
numbers at all. Harmless for a floor (0.0.0 never blocks) but wrong for a
range, where the same leniency turned an unreadable spec into a *refusal*: a
manifest whose only entry was garbage got compared against 0.0.0 and refused.
Range specs are now shape-checked first, so garbage reads as "no evidence".
parse_semver itself is unchanged, since the loader depends on its behaviour.

Verified: 815 core unit tests pass, 18 of them new. Swept the real registry --
all 42 published manifests, at cores 1.0.0 / 2.0.0 / 3.1.0 / 3.2.0 / 4.0.0 --
and nothing is refused at any of them. The gate stays inert for shipped
plugins, which is the property that makes it safe to land ahead of B5.

* feat(store): protect the one population the sunset would break

The B6 sunset deletes each plugin's guarded-import fallback, so a plugin that
floors at 3.2.0 must never reach a core that lacks the 3.2.0 modules. The gate
could not stop that for the population most at risk.

A device installed from the v3.1.0 release reports __version__ = "1.0.0". The
gate treated anything below TRUSTWORTHY_FLOOR as "unknown, do not block" --
correct while every manifest floors at 2.0.0, because blocking would have
emptied the plugin store for those users. But after the sunset it hands them a
3.2.0-floored plugin with no fallback, which fails to load with one log line.
Nothing else in the system protects them: they cannot be told apart from a
genuine 1.0.0 install.

On an untrustworthy core the gate now refuses a floor ABOVE 2.0.0 and still
allows anything at or below it. A floor above the ecosystem baseline says the
plugin needs modules that arrived after 2.0.0, and a core reporting below that
-- whether it is the v3.1.0 release or something genuinely ancient -- will not
have them. Refusing leaves the user on the version they already run instead of
one that cannot load.

Measured against all 42 published manifests:

  today (every manifest floors at 2.0.0)
    core 1.0.0 / 2.0.0 / 3.1.0 / 3.2.0 / unparseable -> 0 of 42 refused
  after B6 (same manifests floored at 3.2.0)
    core 1.0.0 -> 38 refused, core 3.1.0 -> 38 refused, core 3.2.0 -> 0

So nobody loses the store today, and the sunset cannot reach a core that
cannot run it.

Two older tests asserted the previous "allow everything" behaviour; they now
express the new rule with a 2.0.0 floor, which is what their no-lockout intent
was actually about.

The 38-of-42 in that measurement surfaced a separate B6 trap, recorded here
because it will bite whoever raises the floors: four plugins (flights,
leaderboard, music, stocks) declare the floor as a TOP-LEVEL
`min_ledmatrix_version`, a third spelling, which declared_min_version checks
before the versions[] array. For those, editing versions[0] is a silent no-op
and the floor stays at 2.0.0.

* fix(store): address review — malformed manifests, and suffixed versions

Both CodeRabbit findings on #433 verified against the code and fixed.

1. Malformed manifest sections raised instead of degrading. `requires` as a
   list hit AttributeError ('list' object has no attribute 'get') and
   `versions` as a mapping hit KeyError: 0. Both reproduced.

   This got worse with the sunset rule in the previous commit: that branch
   resolves the floor for *every* manifest on an untrustworthy core, where the
   old code returned early. One hand-edited or third-party file with the wrong
   shape would have taken down the whole install path rather than just itself.
   Container types are now validated and an unrecognised shape reads as "no
   declared floor".

2. Prerelease and build metadata leaked into the version numbers. The digit
   scrape parsed "3.2.0+build42" as (3, 2, 42) and "3.2.0-rc1" as (3, 2, 1) --
   a release candidate ranking above its own release. Both fed reject
   decisions, and the consequence was demonstrable: a plugin pinned to exactly
   "3.2.0" refused a core running 3.2.0+build42, which is that same version.

   The suggested remedy -- use the strict token parser -- would not have
   fixed it. _parse_strict validates the shape but delegates the numbers to
   parse_semver, so it returned the same (3, 2, 42). The bug is in the scrape,
   so suffixes are now dropped before it. Prereleases compare equal to their
   release rather than below it; full prerelease ordering is more than any
   caller needs and equal is far closer to right than what it did before.

parse_semver is shared with PluginLoader, so its suite was re-run: unchanged,
and it only ever gets more correct here.

Verified: 839 core unit tests pass, 21 of them new -- six malformed shapes,
five suffixed forms, and the two demonstrated regressions. The real-registry
sweep is unchanged at 0 of 42 refused across cores 1.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.2.0,
3.2.0+build42 and an unparseable string.

ChuckBuildsandClaude Opus 5 183e23edb3 docs(changelog): record the compatibility gate in 3.2.0
The 3.2.0 section described the unified sports library but none of the
install-path work that landed in #428 and #431 -- which matters more than a
normal changelog omission, because the sunset rule keys on this section to
tell plugin authors what a given floor buys them.

The headline addition: 3.2.0 is the first release that *enforces*
ledmatrix_min_version. Before it the floor was advisory, so a plugin could
declare one and still be delivered to a core that could not run it. That is
the property B6 waits on, and it is now stated where a plugin author will
look for it -- along with the caveat that a core reporting below 2.0.0 is
treated as unknown rather than old and is never blocked.

Also records compatibility.py (and that it does not yet read
compatible_versions), check_release_version.py and its workflow, the
install-preservation fix, the reentrant-lock deadlock fix, and the
web_interface version re-export.

No version bump: 3.2.0 is unreleased, so this describes the release being
cut rather than a new one.

970ca2d04f feat(store): refuse to install a plugin that needs a newer core (re-target of #429) (#431)
* feat(store): refuse to install a plugin that needs a newer core

`ledmatrix_min_version` was decoration. The loader logged an advisory warning
and continued; the store never compared the core version at all, so a routine
"update" delivered a plugin that could not run. That is the gap phase B6 (the
sports-unification sunset) cannot be done over: deleting a plugin's bundled
fallback while nothing enforces the floor hands un-updated users a scoreboard
that raises ModuleNotFoundError at load and is reported only as one line in
the journal.

The gate lives in install_plugin, after the manifest is on disk and before
dependencies are installed. That is the earliest knowable point -- the
registry carries no compatibility field, so the floor is not visible until
the files are down -- and it is also the chokepoint: _reinstall_with_rollback
calls install_plugin, so a refused *update* restores the version the user
already had, for free.

Floor resolution and the comparison move to src/plugin_system/compatibility.py,
shared with the loader so the two cannot drift. Both read all four spellings
published manifests use, including the deprecated `ledmatrix_min`.

Refusal requires evidence. An undeclared floor, an unparseable version on
either side, or a core below TRUSTWORTHY_FLOOR (2.0.0) all allow the install.
That last one is deliberate and load-bearing: the v3.1.0 release reports
__version__ = "1.0.0" while nearly every published manifest floors at 2.0.0,
so a strict gate would lock those users out of the plugin store entirely --
much worse than the problem being solved. They stay unprotected until they
update the core, which is also what fixes their version string.

Verified: 782 core unit tests pass, including 25 new ones and the existing
loader-warning suite unchanged (the refactor is behavior-preserving). The
install tests drive the real install_plugin path with the download stubbed --
the allow and refuse cases differ only in the declared floor, so the refusal
is demonstrably the gate and not an earlier bail-out.

Follow-ups, deliberately not in this PR: surfacing the reason in the store UI
rather than only the log, and publishing the floor in plugins.json so the
store can refuse before downloading.

Phase B4 in docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md.

* fix(store): a failed install must not destroy the plugin it replaced

Found while validating the compatibility gate. `_install_plugin_impl` deletes
the existing plugin directory *before* downloading, so any failure after that
point leaves the user with nothing. `_reinstall_with_rollback` protects the
update path exactly this way; a direct `install_plugin` had no equivalent.

The gate made this reachable in a new way: a plugin whose declared floor
exceeds the running core is now refused *after* the old copy is already gone.
Floors are hand-written and can be over-declared, so the refusal could remove
a plugin that had been working fine on that core.

install_plugin is now a thin wrapper that renames any existing install aside,
delegates to _install_plugin_impl, and restores it on failure -- including
when the implementation raises, which is re-raised after the restore. It is a
pass-through when nothing is installed and when called from
_reinstall_with_rollback, which has already moved the old copy aside; a test
pins that so the two mechanisms cannot start nesting.

The aside name embeds '.standalone-backup-' because
plugin_manager._scan_directory_for_plugins keys on exactly that substring to
skip backups. A different name would have made the backup discoverable as a
duplicate plugin; a test pins that too.

789 core unit tests pass, including 7 new ones.

* fix(store): serialize concurrent installs, and make the lock reentrant

Second bug found while validating the previous commit on hardware.

install_plugin's new set-aside/restore had no lock. The web UI runs Flask
threaded, so a double-clicked Install button gives two threads the same
plugin_id; interleaved, one thread's restore deletes the other's freshly
installed copy. _reinstall_with_rollback already guards exactly this with a
per-plugin lock, and install_plugin needs the same one.

Taking that lock naively deadlocks. _reinstall_with_rollback holds it across
its call to install_plugin, and threading.Lock is not reentrant -- so the
request thread hangs forever on the standard monorepo update path
(update_plugin -> _reinstall_with_rollback -> install_plugin), which is to say
on every plugin update. Verified by reverting to a plain Lock: the regression
test times out after 10s instead of passing.

The per-plugin locks are now RLocks, and install_plugin holds one for its
whole set-aside/install/restore sequence.

Verified on devpi (Pi, Python 3.13.5, real registry and network):
- update_plugin on an up-to-date plugin: True in 5.4s
- update_plugin forced through the full reinstall-with-rollback path:
  True in 13.1s, correct version restored, old copy replaced, no backup
  directories left behind
- install -> reinstall-over-existing -> failed-reinstall-restores: all pass
  against real downloads
- 22 plugins load, no tracebacks, web API and UI 200, steady-state journal
  50 lines/min

791 core unit tests pass, including 2 new concurrency tests.

* ci: run the new suites, and check tag/version agreement at release time

These were split out of #428/#429 because the token pushing them lacked the
`workflow` scope. Folding them in here rather than opening a stacked PR --
#429 was merged into its stacked base after that base had already been
squash-merged, so its content never reached main, and one such near-miss is
enough.

All three enrolled suites exist on this branch: test_version_consistency.py
came with #428 and is on main; the other two arrive with the commits above.
Enrolling them in a separate PR would have either raced with this one on
test.yml or briefly pointed CI at files main did not have.

- test.yml: enroll test_version_consistency, test_plugin_compatibility_gate
  and test_install_preserves_existing in the core unit job. Until now these
  32 tests existed but nothing ran them automatically.

- release-version-check.yml: run scripts/check_release_version.py on pushed
  v* tags and published releases, plus workflow_dispatch so a tag can be
  checked *before* it is created. No dependencies -- it reads src/__init__.py
  and CHANGELOG.md only.

Verified: both workflow files parse, and the release check still passes for
v3.2.0 against this tree.

f2b246ef03 fix(version): make the core version have exactly one answer (#428)
* fix(version): make the core version have exactly one answer

Plugin compatibility floors compare against src.__version__, so that string
has to be trustworthy. It has not been. v3.1.0 was tagged 2026-05-31 while
src/__init__.py still said "1.0.0"; the bump did not land until 2026-07-12.
Every device installed from that release reports 1.0.0, which is below the
(2, 0, 0) floor in PluginLoader._warn_if_incompatible -- so those users are
silently exempt from every plugin compatibility warning.

web_interface carried a third answer, a hardcoded "3.0.0" that nothing read
and that had drifted two majors from the core. It now re-exports the
canonical value, so it cannot disagree again.

Adds:

- test/test_version_consistency.py (enrolled in the core unit CI job):
  src.__version__ is parseable semver, matches the newest CHANGELOG heading,
  the CHANGELOG's headings are unique and descending, and web_interface
  tracks the core. src.plugin_system.__version__ is deliberately excluded --
  it versions the plugin API and moves independently.

- scripts/check_release_version.py + a release-version-check workflow that
  asserts the tag, the CHANGELOG and src.__version__ agree. Runs on pushed
  v* tags and published releases, and via workflow_dispatch so a tag can be
  checked *before* it is created:

      python scripts/check_release_version.py v3.2.0

Verified: 757 core unit tests pass including the four new ones; the script
exits 0 for v3.2.0 and non-zero for both a mismatched tag (v3.1.0) and a
non-semver one (v2.5); web_interface and web_interface.app still import.

Prerequisite for cutting v3.2.0 -- phase B4 in docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md.

* fix(version): address review — regex strictness, OSError, stale doc claim

From CodeRabbit on #428, all three valid:

- The module docstring claimed the tag check "runs at release time in
  .github/workflows/release-version-check.yml". That workflow is held back to
  a follow-up PR (the pushing token lacks the `workflow` scope), so the claim
  was false as written. Both files now describe the script as a manual
  pre-flight and say the CI wiring is still to come.

- `\d` also matches non-ASCII decimal digits, which int() happily parses, and
  `\s` matches newlines -- so "##\n3.2.0" read as a version heading. Patterns
  now use [0-9] and [ \t], kept in step across the test and the script, with a
  regression test pinning both behaviours.

- A missing or unreadable CHANGELOG.md raised OSError out of read_text() and
  printed a traceback. In a release gate that reads as "the tooling is
  broken"; it now reports the path and a recovery action and exits 1.

Verified: v3.2.0 passes, a mismatched tag exits 1, and a missing CHANGELOG
exits 1 with the new message instead of a traceback. 5 tests pass.

963ab8292a docs(sports): split adoption from sunset, and say what makes the sunset safe (#427)
* docs(sports): split adoption from sunset, and say what makes the sunset safe

The phase table folded two steps with very different risk profiles into one
B5: adopting core imports (safe by construction -- the guarded import keeps
the bundled fallback) and deleting the bundled copies (removes the fallback,
so the import becomes a hard dependency). They are now B5 and B6.

Reading the enforcement path showed the declared floor protects nobody today:

- PluginLoader._warn_if_incompatible is advisory, and skips entirely when the
  parsed core version is below 2.0.0.
- The v3.1.0 release ships __version__ = "1.0.0" -- the tag was cut
  2026-05-31 and the string was not bumped until 2026-07-12 -- so the skip
  matches exactly the users most likely to be behind.
- Neither StoreManager.install_plugin nor .update_plugin compares the core
  version, so a store update delivers a plugin that floors above the core.

Verified against a v3.1.0 worktree: sports_scroll, element_style and the
sports package are absent there, and the import fails with
exc.name == 'src.common.sports_scroll' -- a guard set of {"src"} does not
match it.

B4 therefore grows to include making the version number trustworthy and
adding the install/update gate; B6 waits on that gate having shipped and
reached users. Also adds an ordered "What's next" and the durable lessons
this migration paid for.

* docs(sports): address review — test matrix, and compatible_versions

Both CodeRabbit findings on #427 hold up against the code; one sub-point was
already moot.

1. The compatibility regression test was described as one case (bundled copy
   removed on an old core) when it needs four. The case that actually matters
   is the one that was missing: an adopted plugin loading *with* its bundled
   copy on an old core, which is the entire basis for claiming B5 is safe to
   run ahead of the gate. Now a 2x2 table.

   The assertion was also wrong. "Fails loudly and specifically" is
   aspirational -- PluginManager.load_plugin catches ModuleNotFoundError, so
   nothing propagates and it fails into PluginState.ERROR with one log line.
   A test expecting a raise would pass for the wrong reason. Specified as
   PluginState.ERROR plus the exact missing module path, which is also what
   the rest of this document already says the failure looks like.

2. `compatible_versions` -- not `ledmatrix_min_version` -- is the canonical
   contract: schema/manifest_schema.json requires it, all 42 published
   manifests carry it, and it holds semver ranges ([">=2.0.0"] in 41,
   [">=1.0.0"] in 7-segment-clock). The gate as merged reads only the floor.

   Harmless today: no manifest uses an upper bound, and the two fields agree
   everywhere except 7-segment-clock. But the schema's range syntax permits
   upper bounds, so a plugin declaring ["2.0.0 - 2.9.9"] would be installed on
   3.2.0 regardless. Recorded as a named gap the gate must close before B6,
   and the migration step now has to reconcile both fields across every
   manifest the gate can refuse.

   Skipped, with reason: the finding also asked to migrate the deprecated
   top-level `ledmatrix_version`. No manifest carries it -- verified across
   all 42 -- so there is nothing to migrate.

Documentation only.

16fbb7ebeb fix(install): survive the rgbmatrix build on low-memory Pis (#430)
* fix(install): survive the rgbmatrix build on low-memory Pis

The one-shot installer failed at Step 6 on a 1GB Pi with "Failed building
wheel for rgbmatrix", and told the user to install build tools they already
had. The real cause was the kernel OOM killer.

Upstream's pyproject.toml declares no [tool.scikit-build] options, so
scikit-build-core drives Ninja at its default of nproc+2 jobs -- six
concurrent compiles on a 4-core Pi. CMakeLists.txt compiles the same 14
sources three times (~45 translation units), two of them Cython-generated
C++ where a single cc1plus peaks near 800MB. That does not fit in 512MB-1GB
of RAM.

Add scripts/install/lib_lowmem.sh and wire it into the installer:

- Cap build parallelism at max(1, min(cores, RAM/768)) via
  CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL, which is what cmake --build actually reads.
  MAKEFLAGS is ignored by Ninja and is set only as a Makefile-generator
  fallback. A 4GB Pi 4 still gets 4 jobs; 512MB and 1GB boards get 1.
- Add a temporary swapfile sized to bring RAM+swap to 3GB (capped at 2GB),
  removed once the build finishes. An EXIT trap is the backstop for the
  error path. Nothing is written to /etc/fstab or /etc/dphys-swapfile.
  Existing swap is measured excluding zram, which is compressed RAM and so
  does not help a build OOM.
- Keep pip's build tree off tmpfs. Debian 13 mounts /tmp as tmpfs, so the
  default held the whole C++ build tree in RAM alongside the compiler.
- Diagnose OOM failures from the build log and the kernel ring buffer,
  instead of always blaming missing build tools. The OOM killer writes
  nothing to pip's output, which is why this was misreported.
- Report RAM and the chosen job count in the Step 1 preflight, and emit a
  heartbeat during the compile so a deliberately serial 15-25 minute build
  does not look like a hang.

New flags --skip-swap and --build-jobs N, with LEDMATRIX_SKIP_SWAP and
LEDMATRIX_BUILD_JOBS equivalents.

Also skip the duplicate apt-get update that the one-shot installer and
first_time_install.sh each ran a minute apart, and complete the
dphys-swapfile advice in diagnose_dependencies.sh with the CONF_MAXSWAP
line, without which raising CONF_SWAPSIZE above 2048 is silently clamped.

* fix(install): address review findings on the low-memory build path

Three fixes from PR review:

- Validate --build-jobs / LEDMATRIX_BUILD_JOBS before check_memory's
  fallback return. When lib_lowmem.sh is absent that return also honoured
  the override, so a non-numeric value skipped validation and instead blew
  up later in an arithmetic test in Step 6 with a generic error.
- Fall back to the default TMPDIR when the disk-backed build directory
  cannot be created, rather than pointing the build at a path that does
  not exist. A nearly-full disk is the likely cause on exactly the devices
  this targets.
- Pass LEDMATRIX_APT_UPDATED explicitly to the sudo child instead of
  relying on -E, which a sudoers env_reset/env_keep policy can strip.

* fix(install): don't add 30s to every rgbmatrix build

The build progress heartbeat slept for the full 30s report interval
before re-checking whether the compile had finished, so every build paid
up to 30 seconds of dead wall time -- including fast ones on a Pi 4/5 and
every --force-rebuild run.

Poll every 2s and report every 30s instead. Measured: 30s of overhead on
an instant build drops to 2s, with heartbeats still emitted on the same
schedule.

21825cbfbc Sports unification phases 1–2: package split, promoted methods, opt-in capabilities (#426)
* fix(fonts): resolve asset paths against the install root, not the cwd

FontManager built its catalog from cwd-relative paths ('assets/fonts'),
so any process started outside the install root — the plugin safety
harness on CI being the recurring case — found no fonts and silently
degraded every plugin to PIL's default face. Several plugins grew
per-plugin workarounds for exactly this (countdown, text-display,
tide-display in the plugins monorepo).

Catalog population now falls back to the install root derived from this
module's location when the cwd-relative path is missing; behavior when
running from the install root is unchanged. Verified: resolve_font
returns the real FreeType face from a foreign cwd, and the full unit
suites (266 tests) pass.

them silently. Also enrolls the new sports characterization and

* feat: ship src/element_style — the per-element style resolver plugins already expect

Three plugins (of-the-day, ledmatrix-music, football-scoreboard) import
src.element_style behind guarded try/except with classic fallbacks, but
the module never existed in core, so the richer per-element styling UI
those code paths implement has been dormant. This lands it:

- ElementStyleResolver.style() resolves per-element font/size/color with
  the key semantic the consumers encode: a config value counts as
  user-forced only when it differs from the schema default (the web UI
  bakes defaults into config.json on save), and untouched configs
  resolve to exactly the caller's classic values — byte-identical
  rendering, proven by of-the-day's committed goldens passing unchanged.
- defaults_from_schema_file parses both declaration forms (the compact
  x-style-elements map and hand-written customization blocks).
- expand_style_elements() expands x-style-elements into full config
  blocks; schema_manager.load_schema() applies it (guarded, no-op for
  schemas without the declaration) so the config form and defaults
  merging see the expanded UI.
- Fonts resolve cwd-independently with (path, size) caching; .bdf loads
  via freetype like FontManager; nothing in the module raises out of
  style().

Verified: 31 new unit tests; of-the-day's previously-skipped 9-test
spec suite now runs and passes; football's resolver tests pass (27);
music's 38 plugin tests pass; schema-manager suites pass (43).

Pins current behavior before the planned merge of the nine drifted
plugin copies back into this ancestor: the _extract_game_details_common
key contract per sport (reusing GUARANTEED_KEYS from the skin tests),
update() flows for upcoming/recent/live against cache-seeded fixtures
under frozen time, rendering smoke per mode class, and guard rails on
the skin-system seam.

Five surprising behaviors are pinned AS-IS and flagged in comments so
the merge changes them knowingly or not at all: is_upcoming also
matching status.type.name; hockey dropping events whose competitors
lack 'statistics'; baseball reading the event-level status for innings;
no past-date filter in upcoming; and favorites-only mode with an empty
favorites list showing nothing.

* refactor(sports): convert sports.py into a package (pure move)

Phase B1a of docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md. src/base_classes/sports.py
becomes a package so the upcoming capability modules have a home and
diffs show their blast radius:

  sports/__init__.py   re-exports the public API
  sports/core.py       SportsCore
  sports/modes.py      SportsUpcoming / SportsRecent / SportsLive

No logic change: the 1515 class-body lines are byte-identical to the
original (verified by concatenating the two modules and diffing against
HEAD). Only module docstrings and the redistributed import blocks are
new. MRO and __abstractmethods__ are unchanged, and every existing
import site — including 'from src.base_classes.sports import SportsCore'
in the sport subclasses, the skin tests, and the characterization
suite — resolves through the package __init__.

One test edit was required: the characterization suite monkeypatched
'src.base_classes.sports.get_background_service', which is no longer a
module attribute on a package. Retargeted to
'src.base_classes.sports.core.get_background_service' — the module whose
globals SportsCore.__init__ actually resolves, so the patch is effective
exactly as before. No test logic or assertion changed.

Also adds docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md: the architecture for the whole
B1-B5 sequence — how upgradability (guarded imports, capability probing,
frozen view-model keys, the sunset rule), reusability (promote only what
all nine copies share), and modularity (capabilities as opt-in mixins
rather than config branches, variants as named strategies, sport-unique
code as declared override points) are kept as three separate mechanisms.

Verified: characterization + skin 94 passed; the 10-file unit suite 338
passed; test/plugins 60 passed — all identical to pre-change counts.

* feat(sports): promote the nine universal methods into the base classes

Phase B1b of docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md. Every method here is present in
all nine bundled plugin sports.py copies and absent from core, so this is
reuse of code the fleet already agreed on — not new behavior. The
promotions are inert until B5: the plugins' own overrides still run.

SportsCore: cleanup, _get_layout_offset, _load_custom_font_from_element_config
SportsUpcoming: _select_games_for_display
SportsRecent: _get_zero_clock_duration, _clear_zero_clock_tracking,
              _select_recent_games_for_display
SportsLive: _is_game_really_over, _detect_stale_games

Where the copies disagreed, the canonical form was chosen on evidence and
the genuine per-sport differences became seams rather than branches:

- _favorite_key(game, side) -- NRL matches favorites on team id because its
  abbreviations are ambiguous (NEW is both Newcastle Knights and New
  Zealand Warriors). Default is the abbreviation; NRL overrides. Core never
  learns the string nrl.
- FINAL_PERIOD / CLOCK_COUNTS_DOWN -- hockey ends in P3, and soccer/afl/nrl
  clocks count UP, so 0:00 means kickoff, not expiry.
- _config_schema_path() / _font_root() -- plugin-supplied locations, never
  derived from this module's __file__.

BEHAVIOR CHANGE (baseball, ufc): the rejected variant coerced a missing or
non-str clock to the literal 0:00 and then declared the game over at
period >= 4. MLB has no game clock and period is the inning, so live games
were being evicted from the 5th inning onward; UFC likewise. The promoted
variant skips the clock check when the clock is unusable -- it fails safe
(keeps showing the game) instead of failing destructive.

Also fixes a regression from the package move in e591cec: the bodies were
byte-identical but __file__ gained a directory, so _resolve_project_path's
parents[2] silently began resolving to <root>/src instead of the repo root.
Both it and _font_root now derive from a single _INSTALL_ROOT constant, so
a future move needs one line changed rather than two hand-counted depths.
Tests assert the resolved values, not the index.

The font loader takes baseball's body (BDF memo cache + native-strike
retry) under hockey's Optional signature -- the older lineage is the
correct one here, and basketball's positional str default breaks on an
explicit None. It resolves through _font_root rather than the cwd, so it
does not reintroduce the bug just fixed for FontManager, and delegates to
FontManager for the alias table and BDF header parse instead of shipping
second copies. cleanup gained the two new font caches and still leaves
background_service alone -- it is a process-wide singleton.

Verified: 111 new tests (48 core + 59 modes + 4 install-root regression);
characterization + skin suites still exactly 94, unchanged.

* fix(sports): stop dropping hockey and baseball events on optional feed keys

Both bugs were pinned AS-IS by the B0 characterization suite so this
phase could change them knowingly. Both fixes are adoptions of code the
corresponding plugins already ship, not new inventions.

Hockey: the extractor read competitor["statistics"] unguarded, so a
competitor arriving without that array raised KeyError inside the
generator and the WHOLE event was discarded -- valid scores and status
included. Shot/save counts now default to 0, which is already what the
suite expects for an empty statistics array.

Baseball: for live games the extractor read game_event["status"], the
event TOP-LEVEL status, to get the inning. Real ESPN events duplicate
status there, but MiLB events (synthesized from the MLB Stats API into
an ESPN-like shape) populate only the competition-level one, so the
lookup raised a bare KeyError and dropped the event. It now reads the
competition-level status that _extract_game_details_common has already
validated, so it cannot be missing at that point.

The two characterization tests that pinned the old behaviour are
rewritten to assert the fix rather than deleted, so the suite still
documents the edge case -- and still totals 94.

CHANGELOG records these plus the live-clock change from aaabc61 under
Changed/Fixed, since all three are user-visible. The two new promotion
suites join the CI unit job (449 tests).

Verified: unit job 449 passed, plugin-safety job 60 passed, and the
hockey (16) and baseball (24) plugin harnesses render clean at every
panel size.

* fix(sports): harden the live game-over check and font/log init

Follow-up review findings on the promoted base-class methods.

_is_game_really_over:
- `period` present-but-None raised TypeError on `None >= FINAL_PERIOD`,
  taking down the whole live-update pass (_detect_stale_games has no
  try/except). Same failure shape as the null `period_text` already fixed.
- An expired clock spelled "00:00" normalizes to "0000", which matched
  none of the hand-listed literals, so a finished game with a two-digit
  minute clock stayed on the scoreboard forever. Compare numerically.

SportsCore:
- _load_fonts kept the cwd-relative "assets/fonts/..." literals the
  _font_root() seam exists to remove, so every scoreboard font degraded
  to PIL's default face outside the install root.
- _should_log read self._last_warning_time unguarded while only an
  unrelated method initialized it lazily; the first warning of a run
  raised AttributeError. Initialize it in __init__.

Also documents that game_update_timestamps is written by subclasses, not
by the base class, so the staleness branch is inert until B5 adoption.

14 new tests. Gates: 463 core unit, 60 plugin safety.

* feat(sports): opt-in celebration and rotation capabilities

Phase B2 of the sports unification. Both features exist in only some of
the nine scoreboards, so they ship as capabilities the plugin composes,
never as `if self.<feature>_enabled` branches inside the base classes: a
sport that does not opt in has none of this code in its MRO.

CelebrationMixin (afl, nrl, soccer, football)
The two lineages spelled this differently -- _check_for_goal /
celebrate_opponent_goals vs _check_for_score / celebrate_opponent_scores
-- but the bodies were identical apart from three things, each now a
seam rather than a branch:
  - wording -> score_phrase() / win_phrase() hooks
  - follow-up suppression -> COALESCE_SCORING_SEQUENCE, on for football
    where a touchdown lands as +6 then +1, off where two increments are
    two real goals
  - team identity -> _favorite_key, so nrl matches on team id without
    core learning why its abbreviations are ambiguous
Both config spellings are read, so a plugin adopting the mixin keeps
working with the keys already in its published schema.

Rotation strategies
The three "dialects" turned out to be one algorithm (SWRR) in two
shapes: an incremental picker holding state across calls, and a
precomputed per-cycle list. They agree within a cycle and differ only at
the boundary, so core ships both behind a name registry rather than
declaring a winner. weight_for is supplied by the host, so rotation.py
never learns what a favorite is; an unknown name degrades to "simple"
because it arrives from user config.

Each strategy is checked against a verbatim transcription of the plugin
code it replaces, over every live-game shape up to four games -- the
differential B5 will delete the bundled copies on the strength of.

185 new tests. Gates: 648 core unit, 60 plugin safety.

* feat(scroll): upstream the scroll orchestration layer; release 3.2.0

Phases B3 and B4.

B3 -- src/common/sports_scroll.py is deliberately NOT a superset of the
ten plugin scroll_display.py copies. A method-level comparison of the
eight that share a shape (f1 and ufc are genuine forks) found a sharp
split, and the module is drawn along it:

  promoted   orchestration -- get_all_vegas_content_items is identical
             in all eight; clear_all, get_scroll_info,
             get_dynamic_duration, is_complete and display_frame are
             96-100% similar
  promoted   settings -- one algorithm; the copies differ only in which
             league keys they walk, so the ladder is data
             (SCROLL_LEAGUE_KEYS) rather than a body per sport
  NOT        content -- prepare_scroll_content has 8 distinct bodies
             across 8 plugins (145 lines, 53% similar at worst) and
             _load_separator_icons 7 (6% at worst)

Same name, different job: prepare_scroll_content draws *this sport's*
game card. Merging those eight bodies would be exactly the mistake the
promotion rule exists to prevent, so the base raises NotImplementedError
rather than rendering something plausible -- a base that rendered
something would let a plugin ship a silently blank scroll.

The one behavior added over the plugin copies is native
global_config['target_fps'] support. The bundled copies hardcode ~100
FPS via scroll_delay and never consult the global target; Part A
threaded it through each copy by hand, and this makes that threading
legacy compatibility rather than the mechanism.

66 tests, including three against the real ScrollHelper rather than a
double -- a suite built entirely on MagicMock would sail straight past a
rename in the helper.

B4 -- bump src/__init__.py to 3.2.0 and close the CHANGELOG's Unreleased
section against it. This is the number the sunset rule keys on: the
first core release shipping the unified sports library, and therefore
the floor a plugin sets ledmatrix_min_version to before deleting its
bundled copies. The version bump and the changelog release heading move
together on purpose -- separating them would leave a commit whose
changelog announces 3.2.0 while the code still reports 3.1.0.

Nothing here changes what an existing plugin loads; adoption is B5.

* fix(sports): per-type warning cooldowns and font-load logging

Follow-ups from the second review pass, both on already-fixed findings:

_should_log accepted a warning_type and ignored it, sharing one
timestamp across every kind of warning -- so an API-error warning
silenced an unrelated cache warning for the next minute, and whichever
fired first won. Cooldowns are now keyed by type. Nothing in core calls
this method, so no behavior regressed; _last_warning_time is kept in
step for subclasses that read it directly.

_load_fonts logged through the module-level logger, dropping the manager
context, and had no return type hint. It now uses self.logger (set well
before _load_fonts runs) and names the directory it searched -- the bare
"Fonts not found" sent people hunting for a font-format problem when the
actual cause is an install missing assets/fonts.

* docs: record the validated hockey scroll-display pilot for B5

B5 cannot ship until this PR merges and 3.2.0 exists -- a plugin cannot
floor ledmatrix_min_version at a release that does not exist, and an
unguarded src.common.sports_scroll import would break every user on
3.1.0.

The pilot has been validated ahead of that gate: hockey's
scroll_display.py adopted against a core carrying 3.2.0 goes from 691 to
289 lines with all 16 harness renders byte-for-byte identical.

* fix(sports): harden the B2/B3 capabilities against bad config and subclasses

Review pass on the phase B2-B4 changes. Every fix here is the same shape
as the crashes this PR already fixed in the hockey and baseball
extractors: a config or feed value that is present-but-wrong reaching
arithmetic or a comparison on a path with no guard.

celebrations:
- celebration_duration is coerced and floored at init. It is compared
  numerically in display() *outside* any try block, so a string from a
  hand-edited config propagated a TypeError straight out; zero or
  negative armed a celebration that could never render.
- A render failure now disarms instead of staying armed. It previously
  retried the same broken render on every frame for the rest of the
  window -- a traceback per frame, and no scorebug either.
- prune_score_baselines() for the live set. Only _check_for_win removed
  entries, so a game that left the live list any other way leaked its
  baseline and the dict grew all season.
- display() reuses has_active_celebration() rather than repeating its
  window comparison, and log lines carry a [Celebrations] prefix.

rotation:
- MAX_WEIGHT ceiling. A cycle is sum(weights) long and each step scans
  every game, so an unbounded weight from a misread config spins the
  display thread -- on a Pi that stalls rendering outright.
- register_rotation_strategy rejects a non-subclass factory at
  registration instead of failing frames later inside schedule().
- schedule() previews through type(self), so a subclass overriding
  next_game is previewed with its own ordering -- which is what the
  method promises.

sports_scroll:
- scroll_speed / scroll_delay coerced. dict.get(key, default) only helps
  when the key is absent; present-but-null reached the multiplication
  inside __init__ and the display failed to construct at all.
- update_scroll_position and get_visible_portion moved inside the try.
  They ran outside it, so a raise there reached the plugin's frame loop
  despite the comment promising none can.
- prepare_and_display guards the subclass call, so one sport's bad
  payload cannot take down the shared orchestration for the others.
- _current_game_type spells "nothing active" as "" in both classes; the
  manager said None while the display said "".

Not taken: the report that baseball's favorite-team debug path still
reads event-level status. Verified against current code -- there are no
remaining game_event["status"] reads in that file; it was fixed in
2486bdb and the finding is stale.

* fix(baseball): don't drop favourite MiLB games on the diagnostic path

The competition-level status fallback fixed the inning lookup, but the
favourite-team debug block a few lines above still read the event top-level
game_event["status"]. MiLB events (synthesized from the MLB Stats API into an
ESPN-like shape) populate only the competition-level status, so the identical
event that extracted fine for a non-favourite raised KeyError and returned
None once the team was a favourite.

Worst possible shape for the bug: it only hit the games the user cared most
about, and only on the path meant to help diagnose them. The existing
regression test missed it because it never passes favourites, so
is_favorite_game was False and the block never ran.

Uses the validated competition-level `status`, which
_extract_game_details_common guarantees is present by that point. Adds a
favourites-passing companion test; confirmed it reproduces the KeyError
without the fix.

* docs(sports): type-hint game_update_timestamps to match its sibling

Addresses the last remaining sub-point on the modes.py review thread. The
design finding itself is already handled: the base class documents that it
only reads game_update_timestamps and that a subclass's update() owns writing
"last_seen" (and afl/etc. do, so stale-game eviction works in practice). The
one concrete gap was the missing annotation -- _zero_clock_timestamps is typed
Dict[str, float] while this nested map had none. Now Dict[str, Dict[str, float]].

* Address CodeRabbit review: font-name traversal + offline test guard

Two Minor findings from CodeRabbit's first review of this PR.

- resolve_font_path: reject relative font names carrying path components.
  font_name comes from plugin config, which the web UI writes; a value like
  "../../config/config.json" escaped assets/fonts/ after os.path.join and let
  a config probe arbitrary paths for existence (disclosure unlikely, since
  Pillow/freetype reject non-font files, but the probe is real). Relative
  names must now be bare filenames (os.path.basename(name) == name); absolute
  paths keep their existing isfile() gate. Test confirms the traversal
  resolved the real config.json before the guard.

- build_manager fixture: patch requests.Session.get BEFORE constructing the
  manager. Construction creates both SportsCore.session and the
  ESPNDataSource.session; the old code only replaced manager.session after
  the fact, leaving data_source.session real and able to reach the network on
  an accidental fetch. Patching the class makes every session built in the
  fixture offline.

* test(celebrations): make the expiry tests actually test expiry

CodeRabbit (Major) on the merge re-review: celebration_duration is clamped to
a 1.0s floor, so the two expiry tests that configured 0 and expected instant
expiration never actually hit the expiry branch. They passed only because
_draw_celebration_layout raises in the harness (no real fonts) and its
exception branch clears the celebration the same way -- so they were really
re-testing the render-failure path, not expiry.

Now use a valid 1s duration, backdate started_at past the window, and mock
_draw_celebration_layout with assert_not_called() so an expired celebration
provably does NOT render. Verified discriminating: both fail if
has_active_celebration is forced to never expire.

Production code unchanged -- the expiry logic was already correct; only the
tests were mismodelling it.

82a65ad2a2 Sports unification phase 0: safety net, cwd-independent fonts, element_style (#425)
* fix(fonts): resolve asset paths against the install root, not the cwd

FontManager built its catalog from cwd-relative paths ('assets/fonts'),
so any process started outside the install root — the plugin safety
harness on CI being the recurring case — found no fonts and silently
degraded every plugin to PIL's default face. Several plugins grew
per-plugin workarounds for exactly this (countdown, text-display,
tide-display in the plugins monorepo).

Catalog population now falls back to the install root derived from this
module's location when the cwd-relative path is missing; behavior when
running from the install root is unchanged. Verified: resolve_font
returns the real FreeType face from a foreign cwd, and the full unit
suites (266 tests) pass.

* feat: ship src/element_style — the per-element style resolver plugins already expect

Three plugins (of-the-day, ledmatrix-music, football-scoreboard) import
src.element_style behind guarded try/except with classic fallbacks, but
the module never existed in core, so the richer per-element styling UI
those code paths implement has been dormant. This lands it:

- ElementStyleResolver.style() resolves per-element font/size/color with
  the key semantic the consumers encode: a config value counts as
  user-forced only when it differs from the schema default (the web UI
  bakes defaults into config.json on save), and untouched configs
  resolve to exactly the caller's classic values — byte-identical
  rendering, proven by of-the-day's committed goldens passing unchanged.
- defaults_from_schema_file parses both declaration forms (the compact
  x-style-elements map and hand-written customization blocks).
- expand_style_elements() expands x-style-elements into full config
  blocks; schema_manager.load_schema() applies it (guarded, no-op for
  schemas without the declaration) so the config form and defaults
  merging see the expanded UI.
- Fonts resolve cwd-independently with (path, size) caching; .bdf loads
  via freetype like FontManager; nothing in the module raises out of
  style().

Verified: 31 new unit tests; of-the-day's previously-skipped 9-test
spec suite now runs and passes; football's resolver tests pass (27);
music's 38 plugin tests pass; schema-manager suites pass (43).

update() flows for upcoming/recent/live against cache-seeded fixtures
under frozen time, rendering smoke per mode class, and guard rails on

Five surprising behaviors are pinned AS-IS and flagged in comments so
the merge changes them knowingly or not at all: is_upcoming also

83f20b64fe Give plugins access to device-wide config, and a global scroll frame rate (#424)
* Give plugins access to device-wide config, and a global scroll frame rate

The sports scoreboards read `getattr(self, 'global_config', {})` to find a
shared scroll frame rate, but nothing ever set that attribute: the loader
constructs plugins with only plugin_id/config/display_manager/cache_manager/
plugin_manager (plugin_loader.py:671), `global_config` appears nowhere in
src/, no plugin manager assigns it, and BasePlugin has no __getattr__ to
synthesize it. The lookup always returned {}, so the ten scroll_display.py
copies that thread target_fps through to ScrollHelper could never fire on any
core. There was also no global target_fps to find -- the only one in the
template is display.vegas_scroll.target_fps, which is Vegas-scoped.

Adds the missing half:

- `BasePlugin.global_config` resolves the full config via
  plugin_manager.config_manager, then cache_manager.config_manager, then {}.
  Same order the sports timezone helpers already use. Exceptions are swallowed
  to debug so an unreadable config can never stop a plugin loading, and a
  non-dict result is rejected rather than handed to callers that will .get()
  it and feed the result to numeric code.
- A top-level `target_fps` (default 100), exposed on the General tab and
  validated 30-200 on save to match ScrollHelper.set_target_fps -- which
  clamps silently, so a rejected save reports a value that would otherwise
  appear to save and then behave differently.

The property has a setter deliberately. news, stock-news, ledmatrix-stocks,
ledmatrix-elections, ledmatrix-leaderboard and nfl-draft all assign
`self.global_config = config.get('global', {})`; without a setter that raises
"property has no setter" and those six plugins stop loading. Reproduced, then
pinned with a test.

target_fps is also kept out of the `is_general_update` key list: that branch
treats a missing web_display_autostart as an unchecked box, so counting a
target_fps-only POST as a General save would silently switch autostart off.

Verified end to end: config.json -> BasePlugin.global_config ->
scroll_display's existing block -> ScrollHelper.target_fps 120 -> 100, with no
plugin-side change needed. Suite 1441 passed; the 4 failures
(test_display_dirty_tracking, test_web_api::test_get_system_status, two in
test_state_reconciliation) are pre-existing and reproduce identically on a
clean tree.

* Address review findings on target_fps validation and config resolution

- Reject floats and bools before int() in the target_fps save path. A JSON
  body can carry them, where int(90.5) silently stored 90 and true stored 1.
  Form posts send strings, so '90.5' already failed in int().
- Assert the template's target_fps is 100, not merely an int, so the
  documented default is actually pinned.
- Empty-config precedence: keeping the `and config` check deliberately, now
  spelled out in the comment and covered by a test. Both managers default to
  the same config/config.json, so falling through cannot pick up a different
  file's settings; treating {} as an answer would instead return {} when the
  first manager simply hasn't loaded yet, silently disabling every setting
  read through the property -- the failure this property exists to fix.

Suite 1446 passed. The float-rejection test was checked to fail without the
guard.

5b45f35888 Vegas mode: reclaim dead space and pace the rotation (#423)
* Vegas mode: reclaim dead space and pace the rotation

On a wide panel Vegas mode spent much of its time showing black. At 50px/s
on a 512px display, one display width of blank is 10.2 seconds, which makes
several long-standing behaviours expensive:

- ScrollHelper prepended a full display width of black as an "initial gap",
  charged once per cycle — 10.2s of black at the start of every rotation.
- Plugins without get_vegas_content() are captured off a full-display canvas,
  so their blank margins entered the ticker too. Measured: of-the-day drew
  35px of "No Data" on a 512px canvas (92% blank), youtube-stats 142px of
  content with 185px of black either side. Only the scroll_helper path had
  any trimming.
- Cycle transitions deliberately pushed a blank frame and then recomposed
  synchronously: 84ms at best, 4.8s at worst, every millisecond of it black.
- buffer_ahead doubled as the cycle size, so a 21-plugin install showed 3
  plugins per cycle and took ~7 cycles to come around.
- separator_width was applied between every image rather than at plugin
  boundaries, so a per-row ticker like the F1 scoreboard (116 images, which
  it renders 4px apart internally) got a 32px chasm between each row — and
  the width budget didn't count those gaps, so the plugin quietly occupied
  far more of the panel than intended.

Changes:

- src/vegas_mode/geometry.py: numpy column-ink primitives shared by the
  trimmer and the audit tool, so the number reported is the number acted on.
  A Python per-column loop over a 17,000px strip is far too slow for the
  render path.
- PluginAdapter trims every content path, not just scroll_helper. Only outer
  edges are cropped: interior blank columns are the plugin's own layout
  (logo left, score right) and closing them would corrupt the design. A
  plugin on a non-black background is inherently unaffected.
- ScrollHelper.create_scrolling_image takes an explicit lead_gap, still
  defaulting to display_width so the many standalone-ticker callers are
  unchanged. Vegas passes lead_in_width (default 0).
- Cycle end holds the last rendered frame instead of blanking, turning the
  recompose into a brief freeze rather than the panel switching off.
- plugins_per_cycle (default 6) is split from buffer_ahead, which goes back
  to being only a prefetch low-water mark.
- max_plugin_width_ratio (default 3x display width) caps one plugin's share
  of a cycle. Overflow is deferred, not discarded: a rotation offset advances
  each fetch so later rows appear on subsequent cycles. Single oversized
  images are cropped at a blank column so the cut misses glyphs.
- Composition groups images by plugin: rows are joined by intra_plugin_gap
  (default 8) and separator_width applies only between plugins. The width
  budget now counts those gaps.
- Plugin data updates no longer run on the Vegas render path.

All new settings are user-configurable in Display -> Vegas Scroll, including
min/max cycle duration and dynamic duration, which previously existed in code
but were reachable only by hand-editing config.json.

Measured with scripts/dev/vegas_audit.py on a 512x64 panel:

  mean ink coverage    42.7% -> 69.4%
  fully blank           5.9% -> 0%
  reads as empty        13.6% -> 0%
  worst blank stretch    4.8s -> 0s
  full rotation          414s -> 123s
  plugins per cycle         3 -> 6

Note the metric choice: a "fully blank" scan (>=95% black viewport) reported
only 0.4% and badly understated the problem, because two full-width segments
with mid-canvas content never fully blank the viewport — they hold it at ~28%.
window_coverage_stats grades every viewport position by how much ink it
carries, which is what tracks perceived dead time.

Known remaining: cycle transitions still freeze ~3.5s while the next cycle is
fetched. Fixing that needs background prefetch, which is deferred because the
fallback-capture path mutates the shared display_manager.image and racing it
against the render loop risks torn frames.

* Align Vegas API bounds with validate(), fix audit config plumbing

Both from review feedback on #423.

The web API's accepted ranges disagreed with VegasModeConfig.validate(),
which is what actually gates Vegas starting:

  scroll_speed      1-100  -> 1-200   (a slider value of 150 returned 400)
  separator_width   0-500  -> 0-128
  target_fps        1-200  -> 30-200
  buffer_ahead      1-20   -> 1-5

The three loose ones were the dangerous direction: the value saved with a
200, then VegasModeCoordinator.start() failed validation with only a log
line, so the ticker silently never ran. The UI already matched validate() in
all four cases, so the API was the odd one out.

test_vegas_api_bounds_match_validate parses the numeric_fields map out of
api_v3 and asserts every bound against validate(), plus that validate()
accepts both endpoints and rejects just outside them, so these cannot drift
apart again. That test immediately caught a missing upper bound on
min_plugin_width, now added — unbounded it would drop every segment and
leave a blank ticker.

Separately, vegas_audit.py constructed PluginAdapter without the config, so
it fell back to VegasModeConfig() defaults and would report trimming and
width-budget behaviour that differed from the user's config.json. It now
passes the loaded config exactly as the coordinator does. This is the same
class of drift the explicit lead_gap and grouping arguments already guard
against. Output is unchanged on a rig whose config matches the defaults.

* Vegas mode: render plugins narrower, space rows by measured separation

Trimming reclaims blank margins but cannot compact a layout that genuinely
spans the display — a five-column forecast, a progress bar drawn at 100%
width, a stat block with the panel's whole width between its elements. Those
need the plugin to make different layout decisions, which means telling it the
screen is narrower while it renders.

DisplayManager.render_size() presents a smaller logical canvas for the
duration of a Vegas content fetch, reusing the same _LogicalMatrix
indirection double-sided mode already relies on so plugins see a consistent
size from every accessor. Plugins that size themselves from matrix.width need
no changes at all; one that wants to be explicit can read the new
BasePlugin.get_vegas_render_width().

Width is a percentage so a single setting travels across panel sizes:
vegas_scroll.render_width_pct globally, or vegas_width_pct in an individual
plugin's config. Measured on a 512x64 panel with real data:

  ledmatrix-weather   1536px -> 576px   (forecast becomes narrow cards)
  youtube-stats        353px -> 199px   (2% blank left, so genuinely compact)
  geochron             453px -> 153px   (ink density rises to 100%)
  ledmatrix-flights    950px -> 740px

The youtube-stats figure is the clearest evidence the layout itself changed
rather than being cropped: at full width the content had to be trimmed from
512px to 353px, whereas at 40% it arrives with almost no blank to reclaim.

Row spacing is now measured rather than added. A flat gap gets it wrong in
both directions at once — content drawn flush to its own edges ends up nearly
touching (reported for recent sports scores, which sat 8px apart), while
content already carrying wide margins gets pushed even further out.
separation_gap() measures the blank each pair already has and adds only the
shortfall, up to min_content_separation (default 24). intra_plugin_gap stays
as a floor applied regardless.

Two tests shipped in the previous commit encoded the old flat-gap arithmetic
and are updated to the measured semantics, including one renamed to reflect
that zero intra_plugin_gap alone no longer butts rows together.

Also fixes a real bug found while testing: the harness display manager had no
render_size(), and because the adapter catches broadly that surfaced as "no
content" rather than an error, silently dropping five plugins. Added the
context to VisualTestDisplayManager for parity, and _render_at() now degrades
to a no-op on any display manager lacking it, so a third-party or older
harness loses the narrowing rather than the content.

* Vegas mode: end cycles before the wrap, keep the width budget honest

Three fixes, the first a regression from lead_in_width defaulting to 0.

get_visible_portion wraps: once scroll_position + display_width passes the end
of the strip it fills the right of the frame from the *head* of the same strip.
So the final display_width of travel showed the cycle's first plugin re-entering
on the right while its last plugin exited on the left, and the recompose that
followed replaced both at once. On a 512px panel at 50px/s that was 10.2s of
two plugins on screen at once, ending in a hard cut — reported as the ticker
"switching mid-scroll" from F1 to news.

That used to be invisible because the strip began with a full display_width of
blank, so the wrapped-in region was black. Removing that blank (it was 10s of
dead panel per cycle) exposed the wrap. Cycles now end one display width
earlier, before any wrapped content appears, clamped for strips no wider than
the display so they don't complete instantly and spin the recompose loop.

Verified on hardware: a 3936px strip now completes at 68.5s, exactly
(3936 - 512) / 50.

Second, auto_trim=False also skipped the width budget, which is an unrelated
concern — turning off margin cropping should not let one plugin hold the panel
for minutes. Seen in the field: the F1 scoreboard contributed 116 images and
14,848px untouched, giving a 33,821px cycle (11 minutes of content). The budget
now applies regardless of trimming; with it restored that cycle is 6,362px.

Third, the budget accounted for row gaps using the flat intra_plugin_gap while
the compositor had moved to measured separation, so it under-counted by up to
(min_content_separation - intra_plugin_gap) per row and a many-row plugin
overran its cap. Both now use the same separation_gap() rule, and a test
asserts the composed block fits the budget end to end rather than trusting the
two paths to agree.

* Fix IndexError in find_blank_cut when the cut lands on the image edge

A cut position after the last column is legitimate — _crop_to_budget asks for
min(start + budget, img.width), which equals the width whenever the remaining
strip is shorter than the budget. find_blank_cut clamped target to width but
then walked leftwards starting at target itself, so ink[width] raised
IndexError.

Caught on hardware: it killed the ledmatrix-stocks fetch, and because
_fetch_plugin_content catches broadly that surfaced as the plugin silently
contributing nothing for the cycle.

Only reachable on the second or later pass of the rotating window over a single
oversized image, which is why the existing tests missed it — they all exercised
the first pass, where start is 0 and start + budget is comfortably inside the
image. Added TestRotationAcrossMultipleCycles, which walks the window round
several times and asserts content is never lost, plus direct coverage of
find_blank_cut at and beyond the image edge.

Both bounds now stop at width - 1 so neither direction can index past the end.

* Only cut oversized segments at real gaps between items

The width-budget crop snapped to the nearest blank column, and in rendered text
the gap between two characters is a single column. So a cut routinely landed
inside a word: the cycle showed "Wednesda" and the orphaned "y" turned up as a
lone floating letter in the next cycle, positioned after whatever plugin
happened to precede it.

Measured on the clock-simple segment to confirm: its blank runs are
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 8, 8] — five single-column letter gaps, every one of which
find_blank_cut would happily have chosen.

Cuts now only land in a run of at least min_cut_gap blank columns (default 6),
which excludes letter spacing while still finding the gaps plugins put between
items (the stocks ticker uses 32px, baseball 48px). Where no boundary falls
inside the budget the cut waits for the next one and overruns, because
splitting an item is worse than a slightly long segment.

Continuous content is treated differently on purpose: an image with no internal
gaps is a map or a chart, where any column is as good as another, so it is still
cut to the budget exactly. The gap rule protects discrete items; letting a solid
image escape the cap in its name would be wrong.

blank_runs() is vectorised — 48ms for a 17,000px strip, against seconds for a
per-column Python loop.

* Hold capture_mode for every plugin render, not just narrowed ones

The native content path only entered capture_mode when it was also narrowing
the canvas, so at full width — which is every plugin without a vegas_width_pct
override, i.e. most of them — a plugin calling update_display() while building
its Vegas content wrote straight to the hardware. That is a visible flash
mid-scroll, and it lines up with the flash reported at cycle transitions, when
several plugins are fetched back to back.

Suppression is now unconditional; the narrowing context stays separate because
it is already a no-op at full width.

Both contexts are reached through helpers that degrade to nullcontext when the
display manager lacks them. That matters more than it looks: the adapter's
handlers are deliberately broad, so an AttributeError from a missing context
does not surface as an error — it surfaces as the plugin contributing nothing.
Making the call unconditional without this turned 44 tests red for exactly that
reason, all of them reporting lost content rather than the real cause.

The test double now provides capture_mode and render_size too, so tests
exercise the real contexts instead of silently taking the degraded path.

* Vegas mode: one continuous strip instead of swapping cycles

A cycle used to be a discrete strip that got replaced: motion stopped, every
pixel was substituted at once, and the next group started with the viewport
already full. That is the freeze, the flash and the jump.

The strip is now extended rather than replaced. ScrollHelper gains
append_content(), which adds items on the right without touching
scroll_position or total_distance_scrolled, so motion continues and the next
group simply arrives from the right. Because completion is measured against
total_scroll_width, extending also defers completion — there is no longer a
cycle boundary to see.

drop_scrolled_prefix() reclaims what has gone past, keeping the strip bounded
however long Vegas runs (observed 5,000-11,000px against an unbounded strip
otherwise). It shifts total_distance_scrolled and total_scroll_width together so
the completion arithmetic is unchanged, and refuses to run while the viewport is
wrapping: wrapping reads the head of the strip into the right of the frame, so
trimming the head there would visibly change the picture. A test caught that.

Groups are prepared off the render thread. The constraint is that the canvas and
the matrix proxy are process-wide mutable state, so narrowing or capturing
through them from another thread would corrupt the frame the render loop is
pushing. get_content() therefore takes offscreen_only: the background thread uses
only paths that avoid the canvas, and anything needing it is marked and picked up
on the render thread. That puts the expensive work (native renders of leaderboard
and baseball cards, seconds each) in the background and leaves the cheap work
(display capture, 40-600ms) in the foreground.

DisplayManager's capture flag is now thread-local. As a shared flag, a background
capture would have suppressed the render loop's own frame pushes for its
duration, freezing the panel precisely when the point was to avoid a freeze.

Canvas-bound plugins are drained one at a time rather than as a batch: six at
once held the render thread for 1.75s. Drains are also spaced by two seconds
while the lookahead is healthy, since taking them back to back turns one long
stall into a run of short ones. When the strip is genuinely running short the
throttle is ignored, because content matters more than smoothness there.

Measured on hardware: zero cycle-complete swaps, drains landing 2-4s apart,
lookahead holding at 1,200-3,500px, no errors.

Set continuous_scroll false to restore the swap behaviour; the old path is intact.

* Pace the Vegas frame loop adaptively: 31.5 -> 78.7 fps

The loop slept a fixed frame_interval on top of however long the frame took, so
at a measured 31.6ms per frame a flat 8ms of that was pure idle — a quarter of
the budget spent not rendering. It now sleeps only the remainder of the budget.

Measured on hardware: 31.5 fps to 78.7 fps sustained, with CPU going *down* from
150% to 127%. Scroll speed is unchanged at 49.9px/s against a configured 50,
because motion is derived from elapsed time rather than frame count — this buys
smoothness, not speed.

Worth recording what the bottleneck was not: the per-frame render path measures
0.34ms in total (0.18ms for the numpy slice, 0.17ms for the dirty-tracking
digest), which is a theoretical 2900 fps. Optimising any of that would have been
wasted effort. The frame was idle, not busy.

Also nices the prefetch thread. Its work is PIL and numpy that releases the GIL,
so the scheduler can act on the priority, and without it the prefetch competes
for the same cores as the render loop.

* Sub-pixel scrolling: motion at the frame rate, not the pixel rate

With integer positioning the number of distinct frames per second equals the
scroll speed in px/s, however fast the loop renders. Measured at 50px/s and
78.7fps, 36% of frames were byte-identical: the extra frames cost work and
bought no motion, and what was left was 50 discrete 1px steps a second.

Two things were wrong with the pre-existing sub-pixel support. get_visible_portion
never consulted sub_pixel_scrolling — it always took the integer path, so the flag
and _get_visible_portion_subpixel were dead code. And that implementation needed
scipy.ndimage.shift, which is not installed on the target devices (HAS_SCIPY is
False there), so it would not have interpolated even if reached. Verified both:
positions 1000.0 and 1000.5 produced identical frames either way.

Blending is now wired up and implemented with numpy. Two details make it
affordable: slice cached_array directly instead of building two PIL images only
to convert them straight back (the naive version measured 15x the integer path),
and use fixed-point uint16 multiply-add rather than float32, which suits the Pi's
cores and gives finer weighting than the panel can resolve. Result 0.939ms
against 0.237ms — 0.70ms added per frame, a 1065fps ceiling.

Measured on hardware: 81.2 fps with blending on, against 78.7 with it off, so no
cost within noise — and every frame is now a distinct position rather than one in
three being a repeat.

The trade is a slight horizontal softening of text, since each frame blends two
positions. Set smooth_scroll false for maximum crispness.

Also benchmarked and cleared as non-issues: extending the strip costs 9.4ms on an
11,000px strip and trimming 2.5ms, both under one frame at this rate.

* Add overflow handling: keep ordered content whole instead of rotating a window

The width budget split any oversized plugin by advancing a window each cycle.
That is right for interchangeable items — news headlines, odds, stock prices —
but wrong for ordered content: a league table showed ranks 1-6, then resumed at
7 two rotations later, which reads as out of order and out of context. Nobody
needs rank 23 in a ticker; they need the top of the table, every time.

overflow_mode chooses between them:

  rotate   — advance a window each cycle so everything is seen eventually
             (unchanged default)
  truncate — always show the start and drop the rest, keeping ordered content
             coherent. Records no window state, so every pass starts at the top.

Per-plugin vegas_overflow overrides the global setting, since one install has
both kinds of plugin. Also adds per-plugin vegas_max_width_screens, so content
that must stay whole can be given more room — or uncapped with 0 — without
lifting the cap on every ticker.

Applied on the test rig: f1-scoreboard and ledmatrix-leaderboard set to
truncate, and baseball given 4.5 screens because it was showing 8 of 9 games
when the whole slate needed only a little more room. Verified: F1 now reports
"the first 10 of 116 ... the rest are not shown", baseball has dropped out of
the budget log entirely, and stocks, odds-ticker and stock-news still rotate.

Also corrects the crop log, which claimed "window advances next cycle"
unconditionally and so misreported truncated crops. A test now pins the
behaviour behind the message: truncate must leave no offset recorded.

* Stop Vegas mode showing last night's games as if they were live

A game that was live in the evening was still being drawn as live the next
morning. Two faults combined to freeze plugin visuals indefinitely.

PR #291 added a call to plugin_adapter.invalidate_plugin_scroll_cache() so
a plugin's own cached scroll image would be rebuilt from fresh data. That
method was never implemented. hot_swap_content() wraps the call in a broad
except, so every hot swap has raised AttributeError and been swallowed
silently ever since — which is why the visuals it was meant to keep fresh
never were.

Continuous scrolling then removed the only path that reached it at all:
should_recompose() and hot_swap_content() are called from the
non-continuous branch of run_frame(), and continuous_scroll defaults to
True. So on a default install the pending-update flags were set by the
update tick, never consumed, and grew without bound.

Together these froze content completely, because refetching is not enough
on its own: the sports plugins' get_vegas_content() regenerates only "if
the cache is empty", so take_next_group() kept receiving the same picture
however often it asked.

Fixed by:

- Implementing invalidate_plugin_scroll_cache(). It covers both layouts —
  a helper directly on the plugin (stocks, news, odds-ticker) and one
  owned by a scroll-display manager (the sports scoreboards, which is the
  shape that produced this bug) — and clears cached_image and
  cached_array together, since the array is the image's numpy mirror.

- Adding StreamManager.invalidate_pending_updates() and calling it from
  the continuous branch. It only drops the caches; the plugin recomposes
  when it next comes round in the rotation. process_updates() is wrong
  here: it refetches synchronously and merges into the active buffer that
  continuous mode bypasses, and hot_swap_content() rebuilds and
  repositions the whole strip, which is the freeze-and-jump this mode
  exists to avoid.

Tests assert the fix rather than the implementation: 14 of the 17 new
tests fail without it. Includes the wiring itself, since the regression
was a call that was simply absent, and a check that the scroll position is
untouched so this cannot regress into the swap's visible jump.

All Vegas suites pass (355 tests). test_display_controller_vegas_tick.py
still cannot be collected off-device for want of rgbmatrix, identically
with and without this change.

* Fix two CodeRabbit-flagged test assertions in vegas density tests

test_prepared_group_is_used_without_refetching had a tautological final
assertion; now checks stream.calls directly. test_no_partial_letter_at_either_edge
required both crop edges to be blank, but the left edge here is always the
crop's start position with no lead-in gap in word_strip, so it legitimately
carries ink — only the right edge is an actual cut and needs the check.

e2acbfb566 fix(web): don't validate double-sided settings when the feature is disabled (#422)
* fix(web): don't validate double-sided settings when the feature is disabled

Saving anything on the Display tab failed with a 400 when double-sided
mode was off:

    Double-sided copies (2) must divide chain length (3) evenly

The Display form posts every field in one request, including
double_sided_copies (default 2) and double_sided_axis, whether or not
the Enabled checkbox is ticked. The server block was gated only on "is
any double-sided field present in the payload" — it wrote
ds_config['enabled'] but never read it. A user with chain_length: 3 and
the untouched default copies: 2 was locked out of saving any display
setting at all: brightness, GPIO slowdown, Vegas, sync.

Gate the checks on the enabled flag:

- Divisibility against chain_length/parallel is hardware-relational and
  only runs when the feature is on.
- Structural checks (copies parses as an int in 2..8, axis in the
  whitelist) still 400 when enabled; when disabled they drop the value
  and leave the stored one untouched rather than rejecting the save.

The runtime already gated correctly (_resolve_double_sided returns None
when disabled), so nothing there changes.

Also in the Display tab:

- Hide Copies / Split Axis until Enabled is ticked, mirroring the Vegas
  Scroll pattern. Hidden rather than disabled, so the fields keep
  submitting and the server still sees an 'off' state to persist.
- Fix the save toast: the form's handler read xhr.responseJSON, a jQuery
  property that doesn't exist on a native XMLHttpRequest, so it was
  always undefined and every save reported a green "Display settings
  saved" — even the 400s. Parse responseText and use the real status.

Tests: two existing double-sided tests asserted 200 on payloads that the
divisibility check (added later, in #373) turns into 400s; the first now
supplies matching hardware values and the second passes as written now
that a disabled save skips the check. Added coverage for the reported
regression, for bad values while disabled, and for the check still
firing when enabled.

* fix(web): treat only 2xx as a successful display save

Review feedback on #422.

- showDisplaySaveResult tested `xhr.status >= 400` for failure, so a
  network error — which reports status 0 — was waved through as
  "Display settings saved". That's the same class of false-success bug
  this branch set out to fix. Test the 2xx range instead, and let a
  response body refine a successful verdict without overturning a
  failed one.
- Annotate the _copies_fits_hardware helper, matching the annotated
  helpers already in api_v3.py.
- Cover the vertical divisibility branch: chain_length 2 would divide
  evenly, so only parallel 3 can produce the rejection, which pins the

3872a68ff7 Surface plugin update availability on the plugins page (#421)
* Surface plugin update availability on the plugins page

The plugin manager page already showed each installed plugin's version and
had an Update button, but nothing told users an update actually existed —
they had to guess. The store manager already compares the installed
manifest version against the registry's latest_version for its reinstall
decision; this surfaces that same signal in the UI.

- api_v3 /plugins/installed now returns `latest_version` (from the registry
  cache, no extra network call) and an `update_available` flag computed by a
  new semver-aware helper `_is_plugin_update_available`. A locally modified
  plugin whose version is ahead of the registry is not flagged.
- The installed-plugin card shows "vX.Y.Z available" next to the installed
  version, and the Update button becomes emphasized ("Update to vX.Y.Z" with
  a gentle pulse) when a newer version is published — mirroring the app's own
  update banner styling.
- Added tests for the helper and the endpoint fields.

* Catch InvalidVersion specifically in plugin update comparison

Address review feedback: the version comparison caught a blind `except
Exception` (ruff BLE001). Split the two failure modes and catch each
specifically — ImportError for a missing `packaging` (a core dependency)
and InvalidVersion for an unparseable version string — while preserving
the existing "surface the mismatch" fallback behavior. Added a test for
the unparseable-version path.

989162d28f fix(web): custom-feed logo upload uses the wrong request/response contract (#420)
Every custom-feed logo upload has been failing: handleCustomFeedLogoUpload
posts the file under field name "file" and reads the response from
data.data.files, but the backend endpoint it calls
(api_v3.upload_plugin_asset, /api/v3/plugins/assets/upload) requires the
field name "files" (checks 'files' not in request.files, 400s "No files
provided" otherwise) and returns the result in a top-level "uploaded_files"
key - there is no nested "data" wrapper in the response at all. Confirmed
by reading the endpoint directly, and cross-checked against
file-upload-single.js, a sibling widget that uses the correct contract
against the same endpoint.

- formData.append('file', file) -> formData.append('files', file)
- data.data.files / data.data.files[0] -> data.uploaded_files /
  data.uploaded_files[0]

No other call sites in this file used the stale contract (grepped for both
patterns after the fix - zero remaining). The response entries' 'path' and
'id' fields (both read further down in the same handler) are unaffected -
only the wrapper shape was wrong.

Found incidentally while re-verifying a CodeRabbit review on an unrelated
PR (#417) that had deleted a differently-named dead file
(custom-feeds-helpers.js) with the same bug; this widget (custom-feeds.js)
is the live code path and was never touched by that PR.

Validation: brace/paren balance check; explicit assertions that the old
field name and response shape no longer appear anywhere in the file. No
Python changed, no existing tests cover this endpoint's client flow.

cdf03fb107 Add skin system: user-installable visual overlays for sports scoreboards (#419)
* Add skin system: user-installable visual overlays for sports scoreboards

Skins restyle a scoreboard's live/recent/upcoming rendering while the
host plugin keeps doing data fetching, scheduling, caching, live
priority, and vegas mode — the anti-fork alternative for users who only
want a different layout.

- src/skin_system/: ScoreboardSkin API, SkinContext (canvas + adaptive
  layout + logo/font helpers), discovery/loading runtime with API major
  version gating and per-skin module namespacing
- src/base_classes/sports.py: _render_game() seam at the three
  _draw_scorebug_layout call sites; skin-first with built-in fallback,
  3-strikes session disable, slow-render warning; per-mode skin config
- scripts/validate_skin.py: headless multi-mode/multi-size validator
  with bundled per-sport fixtures (no hardware or network needed)
- skins/example-classic-baseball/: working reference skin
- Web UI: served-schema Visual Skin dropdown (validation never
  enum-restricted, so uninstalled skins can't invalidate configs) and
  GET /api/v3/skins
- Store: registry entries with type "skin" install to skins/
- docs/SKIN_SYSTEM.md (architecture), docs/CREATING_SKINS.md (author
  guide incl. Claude Code prompt), view-model contract locked by tests

* Address review feedback on skin system

- skin_runtime: cache the entry module so the 2nd/3rd load of the same
  skin (live/recent/upcoming hosts) doesn't re-execute it with unbound
  sibling aliases; rebind cached sibling modules to their bare names
  around entry import and restore prior bindings after; include per-
  manifest mtimes in the discovery cache fingerprint so in-place skin
  updates are picked up
- sports.py: count render_skin_card exceptions toward the 3-strike
  session disable
- store_manager: validate skin ids (pattern + resolved-path containment
  in skins/), reject registry/manifest id mismatches, and stage+validate
  downloads in a temp sibling before replacing an existing skin
- schema_manager: leave the schema untouched when the configured skin
  value is a per-mode mapping (a string dropdown could overwrite it)
- validate_skin.py: reject non-positive sizes and non-object --options
  at parse time; support --output-dir outside the repo; type annotations
- example skin: validate accent_color once at load with logged fallback
- fixtures: pregame 0-0 scores in football/hockey upcoming fixtures
- api /skins: rely on the self-invalidating discovery cache instead of
  force_refresh
- docs: valid JSON manifest example, load_logo caching semantics spelled
  out, language ids on fenced blocks
- tests: view-model contract test now exercises the real extractor;
  regression test for repeated same-skin loads with sibling modules

6a9d8014e5 Tag plugin logs structurally and surface the active plugin in System Logs (#418)
- get_logger() now returns a PluginLoggerAdapter when given a plugin_id,
  so every plugin log call is stamped with plugin_id automatically instead
  of only calls that explicitly passed extra={'plugin_id': ...}. This makes
  the "[Plugin: x]" prefix reliable in the journalctl-backed log stream.
- display_controller publishes the currently active mode/plugin to the
  shared cache whenever it changes, exposed via a new
  GET /api/v3/display/current-status endpoint.
- System Logs page: adds a "Now showing" banner backed by that endpoint, a
  plugin filter dropdown (populated from parsed log lines), a plugin badge
  per log entry, and fixes log parsing to handle the short-iso timestamp
  format journalctl actually returns (the old regex only matched syslog
  timestamps, so level/plugin extraction silently never ran).

c90129285c Web UI: mobile navigation, guided onboarding, basic/advanced config tiering + performance (#417)
* chore(web): remove dead legacy client-side plugin-config generator (~2,300 lines)

Plugin config forms have been rendered server-side (plugin_config.html via
GET /partials/plugin-config/<id>) since the HTMX migration; the old
client-side generator survived as unreachable code. Verified dead by call
graph, not by naming: showPluginConfigModal and showGithubTokenInstructions
have zero callers anywhere in templates or JS, and everything removed here
is reachable only from those two roots.

Removed:
- plugins_manager.js: showPluginConfigModal, generatePluginConfigForm,
  generateFormFromSchema, generateFieldHtml, generateSimpleConfigForm,
  handlePluginConfigSubmit, the modal's JSON-editor view (initJsonEditor,
  switchPluginConfigView, syncFormToJson/JsonToForm, saveConfigFromJsonEditor,
  resetPluginConfigToDefaults, displayValidationErrors, closePluginConfigModal,
  savePluginConfiguration, currentPluginConfigState), their exclusive helpers
  (getSchemaPropertyType, escapeCssSelector, dotToNested, collectBooleanFields,
  normalizeFormDataForConfig, flattenConfig, loadCustomHtmlWidget), the
  orphaned-modal cleanup block, the modal's listener wiring, and the
  never-invoked showGithubTokenInstructions/closeInstructionsModal pair.
- plugins.html: the #plugin-config-modal markup those functions drove.
- base.html: the deprecated pluginConfigData() component and the
  window.PluginConfigHelpers shim (only ever called by pluginConfigData).

Deliberately kept, verified still live:
- renderArrayObjectItem, getSchemaProperty, escapeHtml/escapeAttribute
  (window-exposed for the top-level array-of-objects handlers the
  server-rendered form uses), toggleNestedSection, addKeyValuePair/
  addArrayObjectItem families, executePluginAction, and
  window.currentPluginConfig = null init (file-upload.js and
  executePluginAction read it, optional-chained).
- app()'s internal generateConfigForm/generateSimpleConfigForm methods in
  base.html: unreachable now but embedded in the live Alpine component;
  excising methods from a live object is deferred to keep this change
  zero-risk.

Validation: every deletion seam inspected line-by-line; Jinja parse of both
templates passes; repo-wide sweep confirms zero remaining references to any
deleted function or element id (deleted ranges contained no Jinja tags).

* feat(web): mobile navigation drawer + responsive CSS gap fixes

Phones previously got the desktop layout squeezed: ~12 system tabs plus one
tab per installed plugin wrapped into many rows of small pill buttons, and
the header's settings-search and system-stats widgets were dropped entirely
(hidden below their breakpoints, never relocated).

- Off-canvas nav drawer below md: the existing nav markup (system tab row +
  #plugin-tabs-row, including dynamically injected plugin tabs) is wrapped in
  a #site-nav container that CSS repositions into a slide-in drawer on small
  screens. Same DOM nodes, same @click handlers, nothing duplicated. Tabs
  become full-width rows with 44px+ touch targets. A hamburger button
  (md:hidden) in the header and a backdrop toggle the new mobileNavOpen
  Alpine state (added to both app() definitions, mirroring activeTab).
  Clicking any tab, a search result, or the backdrop closes the drawer.
  At md+ hard CSS guards make all drawer styles inert - desktop renders
  exactly as before.
- Header widgets relocated, not hidden: placeHeaderWidgets() in app.js moves
  the #settings-search-wrap and #system-stats nodes (same elements, listeners
  intact - both are looked up by id from SSE/search code, so they must never
  be duplicated) into the drawer below md and back into the header above it,
  via a matchMedia listener.
- Fixed 13 breakpoint utility classes that templates referenced but app.css
  never defined (sm:block, sm:grid-cols-2, sm:text-sm, md:block, md:w-auto,
  lg:block, lg:flex, lg:w-64, xl:grid-cols-2/3, 2xl:grid-cols-2/3/4). This
  was a live bug: 'hidden sm:block' on the search box and 'hidden lg:flex'
  on the stats meant BOTH were invisible at every screen width. Audit method
  (repeatable): diff classes used in templates vs defined in app.css.
- Mobile modal sizing: one global rule caps .modal-content at 95vw/90vh with
  internal scroll below 640px - covers every modal without per-template
  changes.
- Horizontal-scroll affordance: pure-CSS edge-fade shadows on
  .overflow-x-auto containers (scrolling-shadows technique), plus larger
  in-table touch targets below md.

Validation: breakpoint used-vs-defined audit now returns zero gaps; Jinja
parse of base.html passes; all changes to desktop behavior are additive
(new utilities) or scoped inside max-width media queries.

* feat(web): x-advanced schema flag groups plugin config fields under a collapsed Advanced Settings section

Plugin config pages show every schema property at equal visual priority,
which overwhelms first-time users. Plugin authors can now add
"x-advanced": true to any flat (non-object) property in config_schema.json
to move it into one collapsed "Advanced Settings (N)" section rendered after
the basic fields - progressive disclosure with zero loss of control.

Implementation: the main render loop in plugin_config.html splits ordered
properties into basic/advanced tiers; the advanced group reuses the exact
.nested-section/.nested-content/toggleSection() shell that nested object
sections already use, so the settings search's expand-on-match behavior
works on advanced fields with no JS changes. Object-type properties ignore
the flag (they already render as their own collapsible sections). No
backend change needed: jsonschema ignores unknown x-* keywords exactly as
it does for x-widget/x-propertyOrder.

Documented in docs/widget-guide.md alongside the other x-* extensions.

Validation (rendered with real Jinja, not just parsed):
- synthetic schema with 2 advanced fields: basic fields render before the
  section, advanced inside the collapsed shell, count badge correct,
  x-advanced on an object property correctly ignored
- schema without any x-advanced: output is identical to the pre-change
  template (whitespace-normalized diff against git HEAD's version)

* feat(web): Display Settings basic/advanced split + live total-resolution readout

The Hardware Configuration card showed ~17 fields at equal priority; a new
user only needs 7 of them to get a correctly-sized, correctly-colored image
(rows, cols, chain_length, parallel, brightness, hardware_mapping,
led_rgb_sequence). The other 10 (multiplexing, panel_type, row_address_type,
gpio_slowdown, rp1_rio, scan_mode, pwm_bits, pwm_dither_bits,
pwm_lsb_nanoseconds, limit_refresh_rate_hz) now live in a collapsed
"Advanced Hardware Settings" section using the same nested-section shell as
plugin config forms, so toggleSection() and settings-search auto-expand work
unchanged. led_rgb_sequence moved up beside brightness/hardware_mapping
(2-col grid became 3-col). No field was removed or renamed; the form still
posts the same names to /api/v3/config/main.

Also adds a live "Your display: W x H pixels" readout under the four sizing
fields (width = cols x chain_length, height = rows x parallel - the exact
math the chain-length tooltip describes in prose), recomputed client-side on
every input event, no round-trip.

Deviation from plan, deliberate: disable_hardware_pulsing / inverse_colors /
show_refresh_rate stay in their separate "Display Options" card rather than
moving across cards - relocating fields between form sections risks
regressions for no decluttering gain in the card users complained about.

Validation (real Jinja render): all 17 hardware fields present exactly once,
basic fields render before the advanced section and the 10 advanced fields
inside it, div count balanced (71/71), readout + recompute script present.

* feat(web): plugin install auto-enables + persistent restart nudge

Getting a plugin onto the display used to take three disconnected manual
steps: install from the store, flip its enable toggle, then restart the
display service - with no in-UI hint that steps 2 and 3 were needed (only
docs/GETTING_STARTED.md mentions it).

- installPlugin() now enables the plugin immediately on successful install
  (owner-confirmed behavior change: always auto-enable, no opt-out; users
  who don't want it running toggle it off as before), then shows a
  persistent toast ("... restart the display to show it") with an inline
  "Restart Now" button wired to the existing restartDisplay() - the same
  function the three existing Restart Display buttons call.
- notification.js: show() accepts optional { actionLabel, onAction } to
  render one inline action button per toast. Callbacks are stored per
  notification id and cleaned up on dismiss; a new triggerAction() public
  method runs the callback and dismisses. The global showNotification()
  shorthand now forwards a full options object as its second argument
  (legacy type-string calls unchanged).

Scope note: applies to the plugin store's install path (window.installPlugin).
The custom-registry install path keeps its existing behavior.

* feat(web): dismissible Getting Started checklist on Overview

New users land on a dense multi-tab dashboard with no suggested order of
operations (the only guided flow is the WiFi captive portal). This adds a
non-gating checklist card at the top of Overview with five steps, each a
deep link that switches to the right tab (and closes the mobile nav drawer):

1. Set panel size            -> Display tab   (done: rows/cols/chain_length > 0)
2. Set timezone/location     -> General tab   (done: differs from template
                                               defaults America/New_York / Tampa)
3. Install a plugin          -> Plugins tab   (done: /api/v3/plugins/installed
                                               non-empty)
4. Enable a plugin           -> Plugins tab   (done: any installed plugin enabled)
5. Configure it              -> Plugins tab   (done: first enabled plugin has >=1
                                               saved value differing from its
                                               schema defaults)

Steps 1-2 are computed server-side in Jinja from main_config (already in the
partial's context); 3-5 client-side from existing endpoints. No new backend
state: dismissal persists in localStorage (mirroring the reconciliation
banner's sessionStorage pattern one section up); deep links use the same
_x_dataStack app-data access as settings-search.js. Disclosed heuristic
limit: values left at legitimate defaults (a user actually in Tampa) read
as "not done".

Validation: real Jinja render across 3 config variants confirms the
server-side done-flags flip correctly; div balance intact; /plugins/config
response shape (config dict directly in .data) verified against api_v3.py.

* feat(display): drag-and-drop plugin rotation order for the primary display mode

The primary rotation's order was invisible and unconfigurable: modes are
registered in parallel-load COMPLETION order, so rotation order actually
varied between restarts. Only the niche Vegas Scroll mode had a working
order UI. This adds real, persisted ordering end to end:

Backend:
- config.template.json: new display.plugin_rotation_order (default [],
  fully backward compatible).
- display_controller.py: _apply_plugin_rotation_order() rebuilds
  available_modes grouped by plugin per the configured list (each plugin's
  modes keep their declared order; unlisted plugins follow in existing
  relative order; empty config = exact no-op). Applied at startup after
  parallel load and after live enable/disable reconcile (before the
  existing _resync_mode_index_after_change, which preserves the current
  mode). Mirrors vegas_mode get_ordered_plugins() semantics.
- api_v3.py save_main_config: accepts plugin_rotation_order as a JSON
  array (same parse/guard pattern as vegas_plugin_order).

Frontend:
- New shared widget static/v3/js/widgets/plugin-order-list.js: the Vegas
  section's drag-and-drop list factored out verbatim (native HTML5 drag
  events, saved-order-first rendering, hidden-input JSON sync),
  parameterized by container/order-input/optional exclude-checkbox/badge.
- display.html: Vegas section now calls the shared module; its ~130-line
  inline copy of the same logic is deleted.
- durations.html: new "Rotation Order" card above the durations grid using
  the same module, posting plugin_rotation_order with the existing form.

Deviation from plan, deliberate: durations stay as their own mode-keyed
grid rather than inline in the drag rows - verified display_durations keys
are MODE names (display_controller.py resolves duration per mode_key), not
plugin ids, and one plugin can own several modes, so the planned 1:1
inline pairing was wrong.

Validation: py_compile on both Python files; _apply_plugin_rotation_order
unit-tested standalone (configured order applied, empty-config no-op,
unknown ids skipped - 3/3); both templates render with balanced divs, the
hidden input carries the saved order, and the old inline implementation is
confirmed gone; config.template.json parses.

* feat(web): serve the interface at / — /v3 kept as a legacy alias

The user-visible URL no longer carries the interface version: the pages
blueprint is now registered un-prefixed (primary) AND at /v3 (second
registration, name='pages_v3_legacy'), so:

- http://<device>/ serves the interface directly (the old @app.route('/')
  redirect is removed — the blueprint's own index takes its place)
- every existing /v3/... bookmark and all the hardcoded /v3/partials/...
  fetches in templates/JS keep working verbatim through the alias mount —
  zero template/JS churn, zero broken links
- url_for('pages_v3.*') resolves against the primary registration, so all
  server-side redirects (captive portal detection endpoints) now emit
  un-prefixed URLs
- the AP-mode captive-portal allowlist learned the un-prefixed page paths
  (/setup, /partials/, /settings/, /plugin-ui/) so setup-mode requests
  don't redirect-loop
- /api/v3 and the templates/v3, static/v3 directories are deliberately
  untouched (internal, invisible to users; owner-confirmed scope)

Validation: dual registration mechanics tested against real Flask (test
client): /, /v3, /v3/ redirect, partials and /setup reachable on both
mounts, url_for yields un-prefixed paths; py_compile passes.

* perf(web): stream the preview PNG raw instead of PIL decode + re-encode

display_preview_generator() opened each changed snapshot with PIL and
re-encoded it to PNG just to base64 it — but /tmp/led_matrix_preview.png
already IS a PNG, written atomically by the display service (tmp file +
os.replace in display_manager.py), so a partially-written file can never be
observed. Read the bytes and base64 them directly: identical payload
(front-end consumes data:image/png;base64 — verified in base.html), one
full image decode+encode per frame less on the same Pi that's driving the
matrix. The existing mtime skip and viewer-marker throttling are unchanged
(they already covered the "skip unchanged frames" concern).

* perf(web): gzip response compression via flask-compress

The interface ships a ~5,000-line HTML shell and >20k lines of JS
uncompressed; on phone/WiFi that dominates load time. Flask-Compress
gzips/brotlis compressible responses transparently.

- Optional dependency, same graceful pattern as flask-limiter: missing
  package = uncompressed responses, no crash.
- SSE safety verified empirically against the real package (1.24): an
  actual streamed text/event-stream response comes back with no
  Content-Encoding while a large HTML response gzips — the display
  preview / stats / logs streams are unaffected.
- Added flask-compress>=1.14 to web_interface/requirements.txt.

* perf(web): gate verbose console logging behind the existing pluginDebug switch

plugins_manager.js, base.html's inline scripts, and app.js emitted 198
console.log calls in production - including per-interaction [DEBUG] dumps -
costing main-thread time and drowning real errors in noise.

- New window.debugLog() gate defined in base.html's first inline script
  (before any other script runs): forwards to console.log only when
  localStorage.pluginDebug === 'true' - the SAME switch plugins_manager.js
  already used for its _PLUGIN_DEBUG_EARLY logs, so existing debug workflow
  docs stay valid. Exposed as window.LEDMATRIX_DEBUG for other scripts.
- Mechanically rewrote console.log( -> debugLog( in plugins_manager.js
  (127), base.html (64), app.js (7). Verified no occurrences lived inside
  string literals before rewriting; console.error/console.warn untouched.
- app.js's no-Alpine showNotification fallback restored to console.info -
  it's a user-facing last resort, not debug output.

Both load paths are safe: the gate is the first inline <script> in <head>,
and every rewritten file loads deferred after it.

* perf(web): vendor CDN assets locally — LAN-speed loads, fully offline-capable

Font Awesome, CodeMirror, and htmx were fetched from cdnjs/unpkg on every
fresh page load, adding third-party round-trips on a device that often
lives on a local network (and htmx was local-only in AP mode, meaning two
different loading behaviors to reason about).

- Vendored pinned copies under static/v3/vendor/: Font Awesome 6.0.0
  (css/all.min.css + the 8 webfonts it references relatively) and
  CodeMirror 5.65.2 (core, javascript mode, closebrackets/matchbrackets
  addons, base + monokai css) - ~1.1 MB total, exact versions the CDN tags
  pinned.
- htmx + sse + json-enc extensions now load from the existing local copies
  (verified 1.9.10, matching the CDN pin) on EVERY network, not just AP
  mode; the pinned CDN copies remain as a one-shot rescue fallback,
  mirroring the pattern Alpine already used. The convoluted isAPMode
  source-flipping logic collapses away.
- Dropped the CDN preconnect/dns-prefetch hints (no longer on the critical
  path).
- Fixed a latent bug while relinking CodeMirror: the loader requested
  mode/json/json.min.js, which does not exist on cdnjs (HTTP 404 verified)
  - it 404'd on every JSON-editor open. JSON highlighting comes from the
  javascript mode; the phantom entry is removed.

* perf(web): extract 3,850 lines of inline JS from base.html to cacheable static files

base.html shipped ~4,200 lines of inline JavaScript inside the HTML
document, re-downloaded and re-parsed on every page load (gzip helps the
transfer, but inline scripts can never be browser-cached). The four
largest blocks - none containing any Jinja syntax, verified by scanning
every inline block for {{ }} / {% %} - now live as static files served
with the app's existing mtime-versioned immutable caching:

- js/htmx-config.js (246 lines): HTMX swap/script-execution config,
  toggleSection helpers
- js/app-early.js (346 lines): early helpers + the app() stub that must
  precede Alpine init
- js/app-shell.js (2,997 lines): SSE wiring + the full Alpine app()
  implementation and tab logic
- js/custom-feeds-helpers.js (262 lines): custom-feeds table helpers

Each replacement <script src> is CLASSIC (no defer/async) at the exact
position of the inline block it replaces - identical execution timing and
DOM visibility to inline scripts, so relative ordering with the deferred
scripts and with each other is unchanged. base.html drops from ~4,940 to
1,079 lines.

Validation: extraction proven lossless by programmatically reassembling
the four files back into the template and comparing against git HEAD -
byte-for-byte identical. Jinja parse passes; script open/close tags
balanced (53/53, after excluding a literal "<script>" inside an HTML
comment).

* fix(web): size the live preview from the PNG's real dimensions, not config

The initial SSE render sized the preview image (and both overlay canvases)
from the server-reported config dimensions (cols x chain_length,
rows x parallel), while the scale slider's re-render path sized from
img.naturalWidth/naturalHeight. Whenever the snapshot PNG's actual size
disagrees with the config (stale config, display service not restarted
after a hardware change), the initial render stretched the image at a
fractional ratio - blurry despite image-rendering: pixelated - and
touching the scale slider "fixed" it. Reported live on the devpi test rig.

Both paths now size from the loaded image's natural dimensions inside
img.onload (which also removes a transient wrong-size flash between
src assignment and load). The meta label now reports the true snapshot
size. The preview card also gets overflow-x-auto so on narrow screens a
wide preview scrolls at its exact pixel-perfect size instead of being
squeezed into the viewport (fractional downscaling of pixel art also
reads as blur).

* feat(web): fold Display Options into the advanced dropdown; Vegas above Double-Sided

Owner-requested layout refinement of the Display Settings tab:

- The "Display Options" card (disable_hardware_pulsing, inverse_colors,
  show_refresh_rate, use_short_date_format, Dynamic Duration) moves inside
  the collapsed advanced section, now titled "Advanced Hardware & Display
  Options (15)". Hidden form fields still submit with the form, and
  settings search still auto-expands the section on match, so nothing is
  lost - the tab just leads with the essentials.
- The "Vegas Scroll Mode" section moves above "Double-Sided Display".
  New section order: Hardware (+ advanced dropdown) > Vegas Scroll >
  Double-Sided > Multi-Display Sync.

Validation (real Jinja render): all 23 field names present exactly once,
divs balanced (70/70), the five Display Options fields render inside the
advanced section's bounds, and section markers confirm the new order.

* feat(web): Getting Started items are manually checkable; card auto-hides when complete

Two gaps reported from live testing on the devpi rig:

1. The timezone/location step never showed done for a user whose real
   timezone IS the shipped default (America/New_York) - the heuristic can
   only detect difference-from-default, not "user saved this". Clicking an
   item's checkbox now toggles it done manually (persisted per browser in
   localStorage), so any heuristic false-negative is one tap to clear.
   Clicking the item text still deep-links to its tab.
2. The card now hides itself automatically once every step is done
   (auto-detected or manually checked) - previously it stayed until the X
   was clicked.

* chore(web): CI cleanup — declare debugLog global, fix entity-unescape order, drop v3 from UI branding

- Add debugLog to the /* global */ headers of the six JS files that call it
  (defined in base.html's first inline script) — resolves the wall of
  "'debugLog' is not defined" ESLint errors failing the Codacy check.
- Fix the two js/double-escaping CodeQL alerts in app-shell.js: the
  entity-unescape chains decoded &amp; before &lt;/&gt;, so a value
  containing a pre-escaped "&amp;lt;" wrongly double-decoded to "<".
  &amp; now decodes last (standard order). Pre-existing bug, made visible
  when the inline scripts moved into scannable .js files.
- Page title / header drop the "- v3" suffix, matching the de-versioned
  user-facing URL.

The remaining 7 CodeQL alerts are pre-existing patterns newly visible to
scanning (CodeQL doesn't see inline template JS): 4 github.com/htmx.org
URL-substring checks (the htmx ones match error-message text, not URLs —
false positives in context) and 1 innerHTML XSS-through-DOM in the GitHub
install flow. Triage/fix deferred to a focused follow-up rather than
expanding this PR.

* fix(web): add the missing nav tab for the Rotation & Durations page

The durations partial (/partials/durations) has existed as a route with no
nav tab and no content panel referencing it - an orphaned page. That made
the new rotation-order UI unreachable through the interface (caught by the
owner testing on the rig; my endpoint-level tests fetched the partial by
URL and never noticed the missing entry point).

- New "Rotation" tab (fa-rotate icon, verified present in the vendored
  FA 6.0.0 css) between Display and Backup & Restore, wired exactly like
  the other tabs (#durations-content + hx-get + loadtab; loadTabContent()
  is fully generic, so no JS changes needed).
- Page heading updated from "Display Durations" to "Rotation & Durations"
  to match its content since the rotation-order card landed.

* fix(web): Rotation & Durations page lists every enabled plugin's screens

The durations grid looped over display.display_durations, which nothing has
ever populated (verified {} on a real production install) - so the page
rendered no duration fields at all. Worse, its inputs posted bare mode
names, which save_main_config's endswith('_duration') filter silently
dropped: the page was broken in both directions, unnoticed because it was
also unreachable (previous commit).

- pages_v3._load_durations_partial now builds one entry per display mode of
  every ENABLED plugin via plugin_manager.get_plugin_display_modes()
  (falling back to the plugin id), overlaid with saved values, defaulting
  to the display controller's 30s. Grouped per plugin, sorted by name.
  Saved keys not owned by any enabled plugin stay visible under "Other
  saved entries" instead of vanishing.
- durations.html renders the grouped inputs, named duration__<mode_key>
  (mode keys are arbitrary, so they can't use the *_duration suffix
  convention), with an explanatory empty state when no plugins are enabled.
- api_v3.save_main_config accepts the new duration__<mode> fields and
  writes them into display.display_durations under the bare mode key -
  exactly what the display controller reads
  (display_durations.get(mode_key, 30)).

Validation: py_compile both blueprints; Jinja render with 3 groups asserts
grouped inputs, saved-value overlay, stale-entry group, empty state, and
div balance.

* feat(web): restart-pending banner, unsaved-changes guard, installable web app

Three usability improvements from live testing feedback:

- Restart-pending banner: every successful POST to /api/v3/config/main
  (display hardware, rotation/durations, general settings) now raises a
  persistent banner - "Configuration saved, restart the display to apply" -
  with a Restart Now button that posts restart_display_service directly.
  Backed by sessionStorage so it survives tab switches and reloads until
  restarted or dismissed. Plugin config saves are deliberately excluded:
  they apply live via the display process's config watcher.
- Unsaved-changes guard: plugin config panels are Alpine x-if templates,
  so navigating away destroys the panel and revisiting re-fetches it -
  edits were silently discarded. Forms now mark themselves dirty on input
  (cleared on successful submit), a capture-phase click handler confirms
  before a lossy tab switch, and beforeunload guards full page unloads.
  System tabs (x-show, persistent DOM) are exempt - no false prompts.
- Installable web app: manifest.json (standalone display, dark theme) +
  generated LED-grid icons (192/512 maskable + 180 apple-touch), linked
  from base.html. "Add to Home Screen" now yields an app-like fullscreen
  experience; no service worker, so zero behavioral risk.

* test(web): smoke tests + static-analysis audits for the web UI

Guardrails so this branch's fix classes can't regress silently:

- test_web_smoke.py (24 tests): boots the pages blueprint with the same
  dual registration app.py uses and asserts every page/partial returns 200
  with its load-bearing markers (nav wiring, getting-started card, advanced
  section, rotation order card, per-mode duration inputs), the /v3 legacy
  alias serves everything, all critical static assets (incl. vendored
  fontawesome/codemirror, PWA manifest/icons) are served, durations group
  per plugin with the leftover bucket, and the advanced-hardware section
  really contains the tuning fields. Would have caught this session's
  unreachable-durations-page and orphaned-tab bugs instantly.
- test_web_static_audit.py (3 tests): (1) every responsive utility class
  referenced in templates is actually defined in app.css - the
  silently-no-op class bug that left the header search box invisible at
  every width; (2) every url_for('static', ...) reference points to a real
  file; (3) any JS file calling the debugLog global declares it in a
  /* global */ header.

All 40 web tests pass (24 + 3 new, 13 existing) under pytest + Flask.

* feat(web): floating live preview + per-plugin "Preview on display", drawer a11y

Preview-while-configuring:
- Floating mini preview (fixed, bottom-right) available on every tab except
  Overview, fed from the same SSE display stream by updateDisplayPreview -
  no new connections. Collapses to a round toggle button; open/closed state
  persists in localStorage; hides on Overview where the full preview lives.
- "Preview on display" button on every plugin config page header: runs that
  plugin on the real display for 60 seconds via the existing
  /display/on-demand/start API and opens the floating preview, closing the
  configure -> see-the-result loop.

Drawer/nav accessibility:
- aria-current="page" tracks the active tab (system + dynamic plugin tabs,
  matched via their Alpine @click expression), updated from the activeTab
  watcher so search deep-links and checklist navigation are covered too.
- Escape closes the mobile drawer and returns focus to the hamburger;
  opening the drawer moves focus to its first tab.

Validation: all 40 web tests pass; Jinja parse + div balance on both
touched templates.

* fix(web): resolve Codacy findings — DOM building over innerHTML, Map callbacks, misc lint

Verified each of the 27 reported findings against current code; all fixed
except one rule class skipped with reason below.

- app-early.js: plugin tab buttons are now built with createElement/
  createTextNode instead of innerHTML template strings (icon class and name
  come from plugin manifests - semi-trusted input; the old code escaped the
  name but interpolated the icon class). Both construction sites. Also the
  forEach arrow no longer returns tab.remove()'s value.
- plugin-order-list.js: rows, empty state, and error state all built with
  DOM APIs - the file no longer contains innerHTML at all (the now-unneeded
  escapeHtml/escapeAttr helpers are removed); MODE_LABELS is a Map so the
  vegas-mode lookup can't hit prototype properties.
- notification.js: actionCallbacks is a Map (get/set/delete) instead of a
  plain object - resolves the object-injection-sink and dynamic-delete
  findings; triggerAction also type-checks the callback.
- htmx-config.js: unused catch binding dropped; var -> const in the
  afterSettle handler; the swapped-<script> re-execution reads/writes
  textContent instead of innerHTML; the diagnostic form payload uses a
  null-prototype object so a field named __proto__ can't pollute.
- custom-feeds-helpers.js DELETED (with its script tag): all three of its
  functions (addCustomFeedRow, removeCustomFeedRow,
  handleCustomFeedLogoUpload) are shadowed by the deferred
  widgets/custom-feeds.js window assignments, which always win at call time
  - the copies were dead even when they lived inline in base.html. This
  also resolves the unused-function and unused-variable findings there.

Skipped: 4x "Non-serializable expression must be wrapped with $(...)" in
app-early.js - that rule targets code crossing a browser-automation
serialization boundary (e.g. page.evaluate); these are ordinary arrow
functions in plain browser code with no such boundary.

Validation: all 40 web tests pass (incl. the static-asset reference audit,
which confirms no template still points at the deleted file); Jinja parse OK.

* feat(web): update flow installs changed Python dependencies automatically

The in-app updater (Update Now banner -> git_pull action) stashed, pulled,
and purged plugins - but never touched Python dependencies. Any release
adding a package (e.g. this branch's flask-compress, which lives in
web_interface/requirements.txt) silently required an SSH session and a
manual pip install that most users will never do.

- git_pull now records HEAD before pulling; after a successful pull it
  diffs old..new and, if requirements.txt or web_interface/requirements.txt
  changed, installs exactly those via _pip_install_requirements - the same
  vetted root-visible sudo path the Tools-tab buttons use (with its
  existing graceful fallback when the sudo wrapper isn't configured).
  Results are appended to the update toast; a failure points the user at
  the Tools-tab button instead of failing the whole update.
- install_base_requirements (Tools tab) now also installs
  web_interface/requirements.txt - previously it only covered the root
  file, so web-only dependencies were unreachable from the UI entirely.

No install happens when the pull was already-up-to-date or when no
requirements file changed, so routine updates stay fast.

* fix(web): address CodeRabbit review — validation, a11y, perf, and privacy fixes

Verified each finding against current code. Fixed:

- api_v3: plugin_rotation_order is now strictly validated (JSON list of
  strings, 400 with a descriptive message otherwise) and popped from the
  payload before any further handling.
- display_controller: _apply_plugin_rotation_order defensively ignores a
  non-list value (keeps the existing rotation, logs a warning) and drops
  non-string entries; new logs carry the [DisplayController] prefix.
  Unit-tested both defensive paths.
- app.py: snapshot-read handler narrowed to OSError with debug logging;
  flask-compress ImportError now emits one structured warning with the
  install remedy.
- htmx-config: the response-error logger prints form FIELD NAMES only -
  values (API keys, passwords) never reach the console.
- plugin-order-list: saved order/exclusions normalized with Array.isArray
  (a saved "null" previously crashed .forEach); each row gained
  keyboard/touch-accessible move-up/move-down buttons (HTML5 drag events
  don't fire on most mobile browsers) that reorder and syncInputs()
  immediately alongside native drag.
- app-shell: window.installedPlugins setter always takes the new list
  (same-ID metadata/enabled updates were silently dropped); tab rebuild
  stays gated on ID changes. LED dot renderer reads the frame with ONE
  getImageData call instead of one per pixel (~9,200/frame at 192x48).
- plugins_manager: togglePlugin returns its request promise resolving the
  API outcome; the install flow now shows the "installed and enabled"
  toast (with Restart Now) only after enablement succeeds, and a warning
  without a restart offer when it fails.
- a11y: hamburger aria-label flips Open/Close with drawer state; both
  Advanced-section toggle buttons declare aria-controls/aria-expanded and
  the shared toggleSection() keeps aria-expanded in sync; move buttons
  have per-plugin aria-labels.
- Rotation/Vegas order-list bootstraps cap their retries (~5s) and show a
  reload hint instead of spinning forever; Alpine app-state lookups prefer
  [x-data="app()"] with a generic fallback.

Skipped, with reasons:
- executePluginAction arg order: caller (plugin_config.html) already
  passes (actionId, index, pluginId) matching the signature exactly.
- generateFieldHtml XSS, entity-unescape blocks, dotToNested pollution,
  and "app.loadInstalledPlugins" in app-shell: all inside the legacy
  client-side config cluster whose entry points are shadowed by
  plugins_manager.js / replaced by server-rendered forms (zero live
  callers, verified) - queued for wholesale deletion in the follow-up
  rather than patching dead code.
- custom-feeds-helpers.js findings (3): file was deleted in a prior commit.
- console.error/warn override removal and afterSwap script re-execution
  removal: deliberate pre-existing workarounds every partial's inline
  init currently depends on; reworking them safely needs isolated testing
  (follow-up), and the error suppression is already double-gated
  (insertBefore AND htmx match).
- "move durations bootstrap into a bundle": inline partial-scoped init is
  the established pattern for HTMX partials in this codebase.

Validation: all 40 web tests pass; py_compile on all touched Python; all
touched templates parse; rotation-order defensive paths unit-tested.

* chore(web): fix remaining real Codacy findings (2 of 6)

- htmx-config.js: two more unused catch bindings dropped (optional catch
  binding), matching the earlier fix.
- app-early.js: second forEach arrow (the stub updatePluginTabs copy)
  braced so the callback no longer returns tab.remove()'s value.

The other 4 findings ("Non-serializable expression must be wrapped with
$(...)") are deliberately NOT "fixed": that rule belongs to a
browser-automation (WebdriverIO-style) lint context and is misfiring on
ordinary arrow-function constants. Converting them to function
declarations would look compliant but BREAK the code - all four arrows
intentionally capture the enclosing Alpine component's `this` for the
stub-to-full enhancement logic. The right remedy is disabling that
pattern for this repo in Codacy's Code Patterns settings (or dismissing
the four findings), not a code change.

* fix(web): floating preview shows a frame immediately on open + is resizable

The floating preview opened empty and stayed empty until the display next
CHANGED - the SSE stream only pushes frames on change, and the panel only
consumed frames while already open, so the connection's initial frame
(sent while the panel was closed) was dropped. Reported from mobile
testing as "the button doesn't work".

- updateDisplayPreview now caches the latest frame globally regardless of
  panel state; opening the panel populates the image from that cache
  instantly, then live frames take over.
- Resizable: a size button cycles 192/256/384/512px presets (persisted per
  browser; works on touch), and desktop additionally gets a native drag
  handle (CSS resize: both). The image is fluid within the panel; on
  phones the panel is capped to the viewport width. The size icon
  (fa-up-right-and-down-left-from-center) is verified present in the
  vendored FA 6.0.0.

* fix(web): stop duration fields leaking into config root; isolate per-file dependency installs; fix test fixture leak

Verified each finding against current code.

- api_v3 save_main_config: both duration blocks (*_duration suffix fields
  and the newer duration__<mode> fields) only READ from `data`, never
  removed the keys. The generic "remaining keys" merge later in the same
  function has no skip-list entry for either pattern, so every duration
  field was ALSO written a second time as a bogus top-level config key
  (e.g. "clock_duration": 30 and "duration__mlb_live": 42 sitting at
  config root, alongside the correct nested
  display.display_durations.<key>). Confirmed by tracing the full
  function. Fixed by popping each handled key from `data` (same pattern
  already used for plugin_rotation_order) and validating strictly: a
  non-integer duration now returns 400 with a message naming the
  offending field/mode instead of silently logging and moving on (for the
  *_duration fields, which previously had zero validation at all).
- api_v3 dependency-install loops (git_pull's post-update sync and
  install_base_requirements): _pip_install_requirements can raise
  subprocess.TimeoutExpired or OSError (confirmed: install_requirements_file
  in permission_utils.py never catches either internally, despite its
  docstring's "never raises on non-zero exit" only covering return codes).
  Both loops previously let one file's exception either abort the whole
  try block (skipping the second requirements file entirely) or propagate
  uncaught. Each file's install is now in its own try/except, so a timeout
  or OSError on one file is recorded as a labeled failure and the loop
  continues to the next file.
- test_web_smoke.py: the `client` fixture mutated the module-level
  pages_v3 Blueprint singleton's config_manager/plugin_manager directly
  with no teardown - since pages_v3 is shared across the whole pytest
  process (test_web_settings_ui.py touches the same attributes), this
  fixture's mocks could leak into whichever test ran next. Now saves the
  originals, yields the client, and restores them in a finally block.

Validation: py_compile passes; all 40 web tests pass with the now-generator
fixture.

* fix(web): repair garbled Advanced Hardware section description

An earlier sed-based text update concatenated the old and new copies of
this description instead of replacing one with the other, leaving a
duplicated sentence with the &mdash; entity broken into ".mdash;" (visible
as literal "mdash;" text on the page). Restored to one clean sentence.

Other findings from this review were already fixed in a prior commit
(installedPlugins setter) or are confirmed dead code with zero live
callers (executePluginAction/dotToNested/entity-unescape/generateFieldHtml,
all reachable only from the two unused savePluginConfig copies in
app-shell.js - grepped every template, no references) - same legacy
cluster flagged in earlier review passes, still queued for a dedicated
deletion follow-up rather than patched in place here.

* fix(web): remove redundant htmx:afterSwap script re-execution (was double-executing every partial's inline script)

Re-verified this CodeRabbit finding, previously deferred as "needs isolated
testing" - traced it to a confirmed, active bug rather than a style
concern:

htmx 1.9.10's own config defaults to allowScriptTags: true (confirmed in
the vendored htmx.min.js, which itself contains the same clone-and-reinsert
<script> mechanism internally). This means htmx ALREADY re-executes every
<script> tag in swapped content by default, exactly like a browser
navigating to a new page. The custom htmx:afterSwap listener in
htmx-config.js did the identical clone-and-reinsert a SECOND time on top of
htmx's own handling - so every inline <script> block in every HTMX-loaded
partial (overview, display, durations, plugin config, etc. - most partials
have one) executed twice per load.

Confirmed safe to delete outright, not just narrow: grepped every hand-written
JS file for a manual `dispatchEvent(... 'htmx:afterSwap' ...)` that might
have relied on this handler for a non-htmx code path (e.g. the direct-fetch
fallbacks like loadOverviewDirect) - none exists, so nothing depended on
this listener specifically; htmx's native handling covers every real
htmx-driven swap on its own.

Left in place, unchanged: the console.error/console.warn global override
a few lines up in the same file, which suppresses known-noisy
HTMX-timing-race messages. That one is a legitimate anti-pattern too
(broad substring matching can mask unrelated errors) but redesigning it
needs care to preserve real diagnostics while still hiding the specific
harmless races it targets - a scoped follow-up, not a same-day deletion
like this confirmed-duplicate handler.

Validation: all 27 fast web tests pass; JS brace/paren balance sanity
checked (no local Node/browser available in this sandbox to execute the
file directly - verify manually in-browser before merge).

* chore(display): add missing [DisplayController] prefix to the reconcile-complete log

Re-verifying the full CodeRabbit findings list against current code
surfaced one still-open item: the nitpick asked for the prefix on BOTH
rotation-related log lines, but only "Applied plugin rotation order" got
it in the earlier pass - "Plugin reconcile complete" was missed. No
message/argument/level change, matching the finding's own scope.

* fix(web): repair dead /v3/logs link on the display hardware-error banner

The "Logs tab" link in the display-settings simulation-mode banner was a
real <a href> to /v3/logs, but no such route has ever existed (log content
is loaded client-side via activeTab, not a dedicated page route) - the link
404'd regardless of the /v3 prefix change. Switch it to the same
activeTab-switching pattern the real nav uses.

* fix(web): raise display Rows field max from 64 to 128

Cols already allowed up to 128; Rows was capped at 64, which rejects
valid larger panel configurations (e.g. 128-row tile chains). No
server-side schema enforces a rows max, so this was purely an
overly-strict HTML input attribute.

* fix(web): remove redundant htmx.org substring check flagged by CodeQL

CodeQL flags .includes('htmx.org') as "incomplete URL substring
sanitization" - a false positive here, since this string is only ever
matched against console.error/warn message text to decide whether to
suppress a known-harmless HTMX timing-race log line, not used for any
URL-trust/redirect decision. The check was also redundant: 'htmx' is
already a substring of 'htmx.org', so the plain .includes('htmx') check
right next to it already covers every case the removed check did.

* fix(web): restore htmx script re-execution timing that Alpine x-data depends on

Removing the custom htmx:afterSwap script-reexecution handler (in a prior
commit, as a "duplicate execution" cleanup) broke every partial whose Alpine
x-data component function is defined by an inline <script> in that same
partial (e.g. wifi.html's wifiSetup()) - confirmed live via browser console:
"Alpine Expression Error: wifiSetup is not defined" on every field in the
WiFi tab.

Root cause: htmx's own native script execution runs during its "settle"
phase (~20ms after swap, per htmx's own defaultSettleDelay), but Alpine's
MutationObserver evaluates x-data on newly-inserted elements synchronously,
right as the swap lands - before settle. So the inline <script> defining
wifiSetup() was still un-run when Alpine tried to call it, and Alpine does
not retry a failed x-data evaluation later once the function does become
defined.

Fix: re-execute swapped <script> tags ourselves on htmx:afterSwap (which
fires synchronously, before settle, beating Alpine's observer), and disable
htmx's own native script re-execution (htmx.config.allowScriptTags = false)
so the same script doesn't also run a second time during settle - restoring
correct timing without reintroducing the original double-execution bug.

Also in this commit:
- fix XSS: unescaped repoUrl in a title attribute in renderSavedRepositories
- replace .includes('github.com') substring checks with real URL hostname
  validation (CodeQL: incomplete URL substring sanitization)

* fix(web): wait for async plugin install to finish before auto-enabling it

Confirmed live: installing hockey-scoreboard logged "installation queued"
(success) immediately followed by "enabling it failed" with a 404 "Plugin
not found" from /api/v3/plugins/toggle.

/api/v3/plugins/install runs the actual clone + plugin-manager discovery
asynchronously via an operation queue when one is configured - the response
installPlugin() was checking only means the operation was queued, not that
the plugin is installed yet. Calling togglePlugin() right after that
response 404s because plugin_manager hasn't discovered the new plugin.

Fix: reuse the same operation-polling mechanism uninstallPlugin() already
has (generalized pollOperationStatus() to take onComplete/onFailed/onTimeout
callbacks instead of hardcoding uninstall behavior) so installPlugin() waits
for the operation to actually complete before enabling it. Falls back to
enabling immediately when no operation_id is returned (direct/synchronous
install path, no queue configured).

* fix(web): resolve remaining valid findings from latest review pass

- custom-feeds.js: fix asset-upload contract mismatch (field name "file" ->
  "files", response read from top-level "uploaded_files" not "data.files") -
  same bug already fixed in this file on a separate branch/PR (#420), which
  this branch never received since they're independent PRs off main
- custom-feeds.js: add aria-label to the two icon-only "remove feed" buttons
- custom-feeds.js: move file-input reset into .finally() so a failed upload
  doesn't leave the input stuck holding the file, blocking retry of the
  same file
- app-shell.js: fix executePluginAction(pluginId, actionId) parameter
  order/count mismatch vs. its callers' (actionId, index, pluginId) -
  currently masked by plugins_manager.js's correct version overwriting this
  one at load time (classic vs. deferred script order), but worth fixing
  outright since it's an isolated, self-contained reassignment (not inside
  the Alpine app() object literal) and removes a latent footgun
- overview.html: align Alpine-state resolution with settings-search.js's
  two-tier getAppData() (also check appEl.__x.$data, not just _x_dataStack)

Verified already addressed by earlier passes (no change needed):
plugin_rotation_order validation, DisplayController log prefixes, togglePlugin
returning its promise for install-flow chaining, installedPlugins setter
always updating state, mobile-nav aria-label, toggleSection aria-expanded
sync, PluginOrderList bounded init retries (both display.html and
durations.html), plugin-order-list.js Array.isArray validation, batched
getImageData in the LED-dot preview renderer, app.py exception narrowing/
logging, form-submission log redaction.

Confirmed dead code, skipped (unreachable - zero template/JS callers,
verified via full-repo grep): dotToNested prototype-pollution hardening,
generateFieldHtml HTML-injection hardening, and the HTML-entity-unescape
block in JSON parsing - all three live only inside app-shell.js's two
legacy savePluginConfig implementations (one Alpine-method, one standalone),
neither of which any template or script calls. The real, live plugin-config
path is server-rendered via GET /partials/plugin-config/<id>.

Explicitly NOT reverted: the htmx:afterSwap script-execution listener. An
earlier finding batch asked to remove it as "duplicate" htmx behavior; that
was tried and reverted this session after live testing on hardware proved
it broke every partial whose Alpine x-data depends on an inline <script>
in the same partial (confirmed: WiFi tab hard-failed with "wifiSetup is not
defined"). Removing it again would reintroduce that regression.

66f9950a30 chore(ci): add security-audit tooling scripts (workflow files pushed separately) (#414)
* chore(ci): add security-audit workflow and plugin security-proof scripts

- scripts/prove_security.py, audit_plugins.py, generate_report.py --
  automated checks (dangerous eval()/exec() calls, dependency scanning,
  report generation) for plugins.
- .github/workflows/security-audit.yml + bandit.yaml -- CI wiring for
  the above plus gitleaks secret scanning and bandit static analysis.
- .github/workflows/tests.yml -- pytest matrix across Python 3.10-3.12.

Also fixes two Codacy findings while these files are freshly landing:
- prove_security.py: dropped a pointless f-string prefix with no
  placeholders.
- security-audit.yml: pinned gitleaks/gitleaks-action to a full commit
  SHA (matching this repo's existing pinning convention in test.yml)
  instead of the floating v2 tag.

Split out of the original chore/dead-code-removal commit, which had
accidentally bundled this in alongside unrelated dead-code deletions.

* chore: drop workflow files -- pushed separately (needs workflow OAuth scope)

* fix(security-tooling): address PR review findings across bandit.yaml, audit_plugins.py, generate_report.py, prove_security.py

bandit.yaml:
- Removed scripts/prove_security.py's file-level exclusion. Ran bandit
  directly to get ground truth: the real false positive is B105 (dict key
  "PASS" misread as password-like), not the eval/exec pattern the old
  comment claimed. Added a targeted # nosec B105 there, and found+fixed
  the identical pattern already present in generate_report.py.
- Left the repo-wide B607 skip as-is: confirmed via AST scan that properly
  narrowing it touches 100+ bare-name subprocess call sites across
  wifi_manager.py, store_manager.py, permission_utils.py, app.py, and
  start.py -- none of which are part of this PR. Out of proportion to fix
  here; flagged as a dedicated follow-up.

scripts/audit_plugins.py:
- SyntaxError/OSError while scanning a plugin file now report CRITICAL
  (blocking) instead of WARNING/INFO -- a file that couldn't be parsed or
  read was never actually checked for danger, so it must not silently
  pass the audit.
- --plugin <name> now tracks whether the requested plugin was found across
  all PLUGIN_BASE_DIRS and exits 1 with a clear error if not, instead of
  silently scanning zero plugins and reporting success.
- The AST visitor now tracks import aliases (import subprocess as sp;
  from builtins import eval as e) and resolves them before checking
  against dangerous APIs, closing a straightforward evasion of every
  PLUGIN-001 through PLUGIN-005 check. Verified against both aliased and
  unaliased evasion patterns.

scripts/generate_report.py:
- _md_table_row now escapes pipe characters and normalizes newlines in
  every cell, so scanner-controlled content (a matched secret, a bandit
  issue_text) can't corrupt the Markdown table structure.
- _load now distinguishes "artifact missing/malformed" from "valid empty
  result": each summarizer returns an availability flag, and main() now
  reports INCOMPLETE (not PASSED) with exit code 1 when any artifact is
  unavailable, instead of silently folding it in as 0 findings.
- Gitleaks suppression now uses exact-match placeholder values (pulled
  from the actual config_secrets.template.json) plus a template-path
  allowlist, replacing broad substring checks that could hide a real
  secret containing something like "example.com" as part of its value.

scripts/prove_security.py:
- T1b (dangerous plugin calls): a file that fails to parse/read now
  reports CRITICAL with the exception details instead of being silently
  swallowed by `except (SyntaxError, OSError): pass`.
- T6 (Docker hardening): base images must now be pinned to an @sha256
  digest; a specific tag like python:3.12 is mutable and is now correctly
  flagged as unpinned, not just missing tags or :latest.
- T2a (API surface): no config mechanism for enforcing local-only access
  exists in this codebase today (app.py hardcodes host='0.0.0.0'), so the
  "environment-aware" check as described isn't buildable without adding
  new config infrastructure -- out of scope here. Applied the achievable
  part: upgraded from INFO to WARNING, since enforcement can never
  currently be confirmed.
- T1a (zip-slip): replaced the whole-file substring check with an AST
  walk that finds every extract()/extractall() call and confirms an
  is_relative_to() guard + "Zip-slip detected" log precede it in the same
  function. Verified it still passes on the real store_manager.py (both
  the per-member and validate-then-bulk-extract call sites) and correctly
  flags a synthetic unguarded extractall().
- T3a (hardcoded secrets): violation details no longer include the
  matched credential text -- only file, line, pattern type, and a
  redacted SHA-256 fingerprint, so a real finding doesn't get published
  into CI logs/artifacts/PR comments with wider exposure than the
  original leak. Verified with a synthetic secret that no raw content
  reaches the output.

Validated: all four files compile; bandit scans all three scripts clean
(2 legitimate targeted suppressions, 0 unaddressed findings); each new/
changed code path exercised directly (alias evasion, unmatched --plugin,
missing/malformed/valid-empty artifacts, digest-pinning, zip-slip
guard/no-guard, secret redaction); full audit_plugins.py -> prove_security.py
-> generate_report.py pipeline run end-to-end producing a correct report.

* fix(security-tooling): address follow-up review findings on PR #414

scripts/generate_report.py:
- Added an explicit `object` type annotation to _md_sanitize_cell's value
  parameter -- it deliberately accepts any stringifiable value (calls
  str(value) unconditionally), so `object` reflects its actual contract
  more accurately than leaving it untyped.

scripts/prove_security.py:
- Dockerfile FROM-line parsing: renamed the comprehension variable `l` to
  `line` (ambiguous single-letter name). More importantly, fixed a real
  false-positive: `FROM --platform=<platform> <image>` was reading the
  --platform= flag itself as the image token, so a properly digest-pinned
  image behind a platform flag was incorrectly reported as unpinned.
  Verified against platform+digest, platform+tag-only, and digest+AS-alias
  Dockerfiles.

scripts/audit_plugins.py:
- Consolidated visit_Call's dangerous-API detection: previously, alias
  resolution only covered ast.Name calls for eval/exec/compile and
  ast.Attribute calls for subprocess/os.system, missing from-imported
  subprocess/os functions called as bare names (from subprocess import
  run as prun; prun(cmd, shell=True) or from os import system as s;
  s(cmd)). Added _resolve_call_target() to resolve both call shapes to a
  single fully-qualified target, then run all five PLUGIN-00x checks
  against that one resolved value. Verified against 10 evasion
  combinations (from-import aliases, direct/attribute calls, aliased
  module imports) and confirmed zero false positives on benign os/
  subprocess usage without shell=True.

Validated: all three files compile, bandit scans clean (same 2 legitimate
suppressions as before, 0 new findings), audit_plugins.py/prove_security.py
re-run against the real repo with no regressions from the prior fix pass.

4abcd0e4f9 Fix PermissionError reading config_secrets.json in web interface (#416)
ledmatrix.service (main display) runs as root while ledmatrix-web.service
runs as the non-root install user (install_web_service.sh). Both
config_manager.py and config_manager_atomic.py only chmod'd
config_secrets.json to 0o640 without ever fixing its group, so a file
written by the root service ended up group-owned by root and unreadable
by the web user, crashing the settings page with a raw PermissionError.

Add ensure_shared_group_ownership() to chgrp secrets/config files (best
effort, root-only) to the project directory's owning group whenever they
are created or saved, and self-heal existing files on load. Also make
get_raw_file_content() tolerate an unreadable secrets file the same way
load_config() already does, degrading to empty secrets instead of a 500.

2a1c47fa76 chore: remove dead modules and unused dependencies (~1,180 LOC) (#412)
* chore: remove dead modules and unused dependencies (~1,180 LOC)

Deletions, each re-verified with a fresh repo-wide grep (core, web,
scripts, docs, plugin monorepo) immediately before removal:

Modules with zero live importers:
- src/background_cache_mixin.py + src/generic_cache_mixin.py (134+150
  LOC — referenced only by each other)
- src/font_test_manager.py (134 LOC)
- src/image_utils.py (22 LOC, self-documented deprecated)
- src/layout_manager.py (408 LOC — only its own test imported it) +
  test/test_layout_manager.py
- src/common/basketball_plugin_example.py (328 LOC sample)

requirements.txt entries with zero importers in core (pre-plugin-era
manager deps): icalevents, geopy, timezonefinder, unidecode. Plus the
google-auth trio (google-auth-oauthlib, google-auth-httplib2,
google-api-python-client): their only importer is the calendar PLUGIN,
which declares all three in its own requirements.txt (verified in the
monorepo and on an installed copy) — the plugin dependency installer
owns them. Existing venvs are unaffected (removal doesn't uninstall);
fresh installs get them when calendar is installed.

Two stale references cleaned (a comment in test_pillow_compat.py, a
directory listing in HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md). Full suite green except the
two documented pre-existing failures (circuit_breaker mock drift, fixed
in #400; clock-simple 64x32 overflow, pre-dates this series); all core
entry modules verified importing cleanly under the emulator.

* fix: remove content accidentally bundled into the dead-code-removal commit

The previous commit's git add/commit swept in a lot of unrelated,
unreviewed work alongside the intended dead-code deletions: a new Plugin
Composer web UI, new security-audit/CI tooling, a new march-madness
plugin, and 23 local-development-only symlinks under plugin-repos/ (per
scripts/setup_plugin_repos.py's own docstring, these are meant to be
generated locally, never committed -- .gitignore has no entry for them,
which is how they slipped in).

Removed here, split into their own PRs instead (except plugin-repos/*
symlinks and march-madness/ncaa_logos, which are dropped rather than
carried forward -- see PR discussion):
- web_interface/blueprints/composer.py + composer-app.js +
  composer-canvas.js + composer.html + manager.py.j2
- scripts/prove_security.py, audit_plugins.py, generate_report.py
- .github/workflows/security-audit.yml, .github/workflows/tests.yml,
  bandit.yaml
- All plugin-repos/* symlinks (local dev artifacts, not meant to be
  committed at all)
- plugin-repos/march-madness/* and the 4 new assets/sports/ncaa_logos/*
  PNGs it needed (left out of every split PR pending a decision on
  whether march-madness belongs in the core repo or the plugin monorepo)

This PR now contains only what its title describes: the dead-code
removal from the previous commit, untouched.

14a59c863c perf(wifi): one status fetch per monitor tick instead of three (#411)
* perf(wifi): one status fetch per monitor tick instead of three

The wifi monitor daemon fetched WiFi status + ethernet state before its
AP-mode check, the check internally fetched the same state again (with
retry), and the daemon fetched a third time afterwards — each fetch is
several nmcli subprocess forks, every 30s, forever, even on a perfectly
healthy link.

check_and_manage_ap_mode's decision logic is extracted to
_manage_ap_mode(status, ethernet, ap_active); the new
check_and_manage_ap_mode_with_state() runs the single (retrying) fetch
battery and returns (changed, status, ethernet, ap_active_after) — the
post-state is derivable because state only ever flips via one enable or
one disable. The original bool-returning method delegates, so existing
callers are untouched. The daemon's dead pre-fetch is removed and its
post-check reads use the returned state; the AP-enable retry semantics
(_get_wifi_status_with_retry) are preserved exactly. ~10-15 forks/30s
drops to ~4-6.

* fix(wifi): add missing type hints on AP-mode state helpers, fix unused-var lint in tests

- check_and_manage_ap_mode_with_state now declares its
  Tuple[bool, WiFiStatus, bool, bool] return type instead of being untyped.
- _manage_ap_mode's status/ethernet_connected/ap_active parameters are now
  typed (WiFiStatus, bool, bool), matching its existing -> bool return hint.
- test_wifi_check_state.py: rename unused unpacked variables (status/
  ethernet/ap_after) to underscore-prefixed names at the three call sites
  that don't use them, leaving the used ones untouched.

bff13129c4 perf(config): mtime-signature fast path for load_config (#410)
load_config re-read and re-parsed config.json, the secrets file, AND the
template (running the recursive migration diff) on every call — with
~30 call sites in web request handlers, some hit 2-3x per request.

Fast path: stat all three files (mtime_ns + size); when unchanged since
the last successful load, return the already-parsed self.config (same
aliasing semantics as before). The signature is taken AFTER load +
migration so a migration write-back doesn't retrigger, and both save
paths refresh it. Cross-process freshness is preserved by construction:
a save from the other process bumps the file mtime, so the next load
here re-reads — verified by a dedicated test. Same-second edits are
caught by mtime_ns plus a size check.

6499794c12 fix(testing): add MockCacheManager.get_cached_data_with_strategy/save_cache (#409)
* fix(testing): add MockCacheManager.get_cached_data_with_strategy/save_cache

ledmatrix-leaderboard's data_fetcher.py calls these two real-CacheManager
methods (src/cache_manager.py:313,817), but MockCacheManager had neither --
update() always hit an AttributeError, caught by a broad except and logged,
so the harness rendered an empty-but-green leaderboard on every test run
without ever exercising real standings data.

Both mocks delegate to the existing get()/set() -- a mock doesn't need the
real strategy's per-data-type max_age/market-hours timing, plugins under
test just need the methods to exist and round-trip whatever was cached.

* fix(testing): clear get_cached_data_with_strategy_calls in MockCacheManager.reset()

reset() cleared get_calls/set_calls/delete_calls but not the newer
get_cached_data_with_strategy_calls tracker, so a reused mock (e.g. across
test cases sharing a fixture) retained stale strategy-call records after
reset().

ChuckandGitHub 3d347a368a fix(testing): stop plugin enabled:false schema defaults from silently disabling harness tests (#408)
check_plugin.py, render_plugin.py, and the pytest plugin matrix each built
config as {"enabled": True} then merged in config_schema.json's defaults on
top, letting a plugin's own enabled:false default (a reasonable choice for
a seasonal/opt-in plugin -- 15 of 23 real plugins ship one) silently win.
Every harness/CI render of those plugins was testing "disabled, do
nothing" rather than real behavior.

Extract build_full_config() into testing/loading.py (already the shared
home for plugin-discovery/config-default logic) and use it from all three
call sites: schema defaults, then a forced enabled=True, then harness.json's
config, then the caller's explicit config -- so a test can still
deliberately disable a plugin on purpose, it just can't happen by accident
via the plugin's own shipped schema default anymore.

0aca40cf3a perf(plugins): run scheduled updates off the render thread (#407)
* perf(plugins): run scheduled updates off the render thread

plugin update() executed inline in the render loop — execute_update's
internal thread.join(timeout=30) blocked it, so one slow plugin HTTP
fetch froze scrolling for the whole fetch (up to 30s; DNS-retry storms
made this a regular occurrence on flaky networks).

Scheduling stays on the render thread and keeps every existing gate
(enabled, circuit breaker, can_execute, interval); due updates are now
enqueued to a single background worker (serialized — same one-at-a-time
execution as before, no thundering herd). RUNNING is set at enqueue so
can_execute blocks re-entry alongside the pending-set dedup.

Per-plugin locks make the old implicit update/display no-overlap
guarantee explicit: the worker holds the plugin's lock through its
update; the display side try-locks and, when the plugin is mid-update,
holds the last frame for that iteration — reported as success so a
mid-update skip never advances the rotation. Unlike before, the
guarantee now also holds across the post-timeout window (previously the
lingering update thread overlapped display()). Deadlock-free by
construction: the worker takes one lock; display never blocks.

Timeout semantics unchanged (lingering daemon thread documented).
Kill switch: plugin_system.synchronous_updates: true restores the
inline path.

8 new concurrency tests (non-blocking scheduler, overlap assertion
under a hammering display loop, lock release on failure/timeout paths,
dedup, kill switch); 4-min devpi soak clean (updates completing,
rotation advancing, no stuck RUNNING states).

* fix(plugins): fix skipped-frame health/force_change tracking, config validation, and lock-lifetime gaps in async updates

Addresses PR #407 review findings:
- display_controller: only clear force_change / record health success
  when display() actually ran this frame, not when the frame was skipped
  because the plugin's lock was busy (a skip must preserve a pending
  mode-switch force_clear).
- plugin_manager: replace bool() coercion of synchronous_updates with
  explicit isinstance validation of plugin_system/synchronous_updates,
  failing safe to synchronous mode (with a logged reason) on malformed
  config instead of silently defaulting to async.
- plugin_manager: _update_worker_loop now acquires the plugin lock before
  looking up its instance and re-checks under the lock, so an unloaded
  plugin's lifecycle state is never resurrected to ENABLED.
- plugin_manager + display_controller: move lock ownership (and, for
  updates, RUNNING/pending lifecycle bookkeeping) into the actual update()/
  display() call itself rather than the timeout-wrapped caller, so the
  lock stays held for the real operation's duration even after
  PluginExecutor's own join(timeout) elapses and a lingering daemon thread
  keeps running in the background.
- DisplayController.cleanup() now stops the update worker before tearing
  down display/cache resources; stop_update_worker() logs when the join
  times out instead of failing silently.
- test_async_plugin_updates: rewrite test_unloaded_while_queued_is_harmless
  to exercise the public unload_plugin() lifecycle (via a deterministic
  blocker) instead of deleting pm.plugins directly, and add a regression
  test proving the plugin lock stays held through PluginExecutor's own
  timeout while the real update() call is still running.

9837315308 perf(display): dirty tracking in update_display + plugin FPS declaration (#406)
* perf(display): dirty tracking in update_display + plugin FPS declaration

update_display now skips SetImage+SwapOnVSync when the frame is
byte-identical to the last pushed one (adler32 digest) AND brightness
is unchanged — brightness is part of the digest, and set_brightness
additionally resets it, so a dim-schedule change can never be skipped.
clear() resets the digest (it writes to the matrix directly). Skipping
a swap is hardware-safe: the panel refreshes the current frame from the
driver's own thread; swaps only change content.

Kill switch: display.dirty_tracking: false restores always-push.

display_controller's high-FPS decision gains a precedence step: a
plugin exposing needs_high_fps is honored first (so static-image can
declare False for still PNGs and stop burning a 125fps loop on them);
static-image without the attribute keeps its historical forced
high-FPS (GIF back-compat); scrolling logic is otherwise unchanged.

Verified with 7 tests against the real DisplayManager on
RGBMatrixEmulator (identical-frame skip, pixel-change push, clear and
brightness invalidation, snapshot-through-skip, kill switch) plus the
202-test display/controller/vegas suites, and a clean devpi deploy.
Audit: every SetImage/SwapOnVSync/Clear/brightness call site is inside
display_manager — no external writer can bypass the digest.

* fix(display): serialize update_display, narrow brightness exception, log fixes

CodeRabbit review on #406, verified against current code:

- update_display() can genuinely be called from background threads (some
  sports base classes call it directly from inside update() for an
  immediate "live" refresh), not just the render loop — confirmed via the
  existing follower-mode gating wrapper in display_controller.py, which
  exists specifically because "background plugin threads" can reach it.
  Without a lock, two callers could both pass the digest check before
  either writes _last_pushed_digest back, causing a redundant push, or
  interleave the offscreen/current canvas swap. Added self._update_lock
  (RLock, in case of re-entrant callers) around the full method body so
  every call site is automatically covered — no caller changes needed.
  (No prior lock existed to reuse on DisplayManager; this adds one.)
- Narrowed the brightness-read exception handler to AttributeError,
  matching the established pattern in get_brightness()/set_brightness()
  — a getattr() with a default already swallows AttributeError, so the
  only case this guards is the property getter itself raising, and the
  established pattern treats that as an expected, specific failure mode
  rather than something to blanket-catch.
- FPS-check debug log now includes the plugin_id already in scope
  (previously only active_mode) and a "[DisplayController]" prefix for
  grep-ability, matching the sibling log two lines below it.
- test_display_dirty_tracking.py: dm fixture and test_config_flag_wires_through
  now reset the DisplayManager singleton on teardown, matching the pattern
  test_display_manager.py already uses elsewhere in the same file family.
- test_snapshot_still_written_on_skip previously only exercised the
  non-skip (push) path despite its name; now performs a second update that
  meets the skip conditions (identical frame) and asserts the snapshot is
  still written even though the panel push itself is skipped.

All 7 dirty-tracking tests pass, plus the full display_manager/
display_controller/vegas suite (140 passed). Full repo suite has only the
5 known pre-existing failures (double-sided config x2, state_reconciliation
x2, and test_circuit_breaker's conftest.py mock signature drift — the
latter fixed in #400, which this branch's base predates).

c1fa5094be fix(store): plugin updates keep the old install until the new one succeeds (#405)
* fix(store): plugin updates keep the old install until the new one succeeds

Both reinstall paths in update_plugin — the monorepo-migration remote
switch AND the routine archive update every store user hits — deleted
the installed plugin directory BEFORE downloading its replacement. A
mid-update failure (bad network, registry error) permanently destroyed
the plugin. Seen in the field: a Pi with broken DNS lost 12 plugins in
one update pass during the monorepo migration.

New _reinstall_with_rollback: rename the old install aside (using the
'.standalone-backup-' name pattern plugin discovery already excludes),
run install_plugin, remove the aside on success — restore it on ANY
failure, clearing partial-download debris first. A stale aside from a
previous crash is cleared before starting.

* fix(store): serialize concurrent updates per plugin, check cleanup results

CodeRabbit review on #405 flagged two things in
_reinstall_with_rollback, both verified against current code:

- Real race: the web UI runs Flask with threaded=True and there's a
  single update route, so two overlapping requests for the same
  plugin_id (double-click, two tabs) can interleave. The loser could
  rename the winner's in-progress install aside mid-download, deleting
  its own rollback safety net — worse than the bug this function
  exists to fix. Added a lazy per-plugin_id lock dict (mirrors the
  plugin_manager per-plugin lock pattern) held for the whole function.
- _safe_remove_directory's return value was ignored at both call
  sites. Stale-aside cleanup failure now aborts cleanly instead of
  falling through to a rename that would fail anyway with a less
  useful error; post-success backup-removal failure now logs instead
  of failing silently (still returns True — the update itself
  succeeded, and the next update self-heals the leftover aside).

Left the third nitpick (test_stale_aside_from_previous_crash_is_cleared)
addressed by asserting the stale dir is actually gone and that
install_plugin was reached, rather than just the end-to-end result.

Added a concurrency regression test asserting install_plugin never
runs for the same plugin_id while another call is in flight.

4d49b0f892 perf(display): snapshot mirror — viewer gating, digest skip, keepalive (#404)
The display service PNG-encoded its frame to /tmp/led_matrix_preview.png
at 5 fps, 24/7 — identical frames, no viewers, per-call imports and a
chmod every write. On the devpi baseline the display service idles at
~92% CPU; this was one of its biggest fixed costs.

- New pure policy (src/common/snapshot_policy.py, unit-tested off-Pi):
  WRITE changed frames at full rate only while a viewer is watching,
  at a 30s idle cadence otherwise; NEVER re-encode unchanged frames —
  bump mtime (os.utime) every 20s instead, keeping the health check's
  snapshot-age liveness proxy (60s threshold in api_v3) green. Cross-
  referencing comments guard the two constants.
- Viewer detection: the web SSE display broadcaster (which only runs
  while browsers are subscribed) touches /tmp/led_matrix_preview_viewer
  each loop; the display service stats it at most 1/s. On viewer
  arrival the write clock resets so the first frame lands within ~1s.
- Hoisted the per-call pathlib/permission_utils imports; directory
  permissions ensured once instead of every frame.
