refactor(sports): put the scoreboards on the shared scroll resolver (#542)
* refactor(sports): put the scoreboards on the shared scroll resolver Eight sports scoreboards -- afl, baseball, basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse, nrl, soccer -- scrolled through this module's own pacing while the other eleven scrolling plugins went through src/common/scroll_config. Two implementations of the same job, and this one was on the losing side of every difference. It never called set_scrolling_state. Two consequences, both of which this release's work was about: - The frame hold is applied through that call, so a speed the crisp ladder could render in whole pixels still presented a new frame every refresh. - Core only runs deferred updates while nothing is scrolling. Believing nothing was, it ran blocking work in the middle of these scrolls. The default is non-crisp today: scroll_speed 50.0 with scroll_delay 0.01 is 50 px/s, which on a 100Hz panel is half a pixel per refresh. That cannot render as motion -- it alternates 0px and 1px steps and judders at a 50Hz beat, on every scoreboard, out of the box. Resolved through the ladder it stays 50 px/s and holds each frame for two refreshes: same speed, whole-pixel motion. The stepping disagreement that used to justify a separate module is gone. scroll_config avoided frame-based mode because it stepped on a wall clock at 1/scroll_delay with scroll_delay set to the frame period, so the decision sat on its own threshold and flipped on sub-millisecond jitter. That branch now accumulates elapsed time, identical arithmetic to the time-based one, so the two differ only in the units the speed arrives in. What is NOT shared, and must not be: the two modules read identically-named keys with different meanings. Here scroll_speed is px/SECOND and scroll_delay only converts to px/frame; in scroll_config scroll_speed is px per STEP, so px/s is speed/delay. Passing this module's settings dict to the resolver turns 50 px/s into 5000, clamped to 500 -- a tenfold speed-up everywhere. So _get_scroll_settings keeps sole ownership of reading sports config, including the league merging, and hands the resolver a plain px/s. A test pins that specific number, because it is the mistake the refactor invites. MIN/MAX_PIXELS_PER_FRAME are gone; the resolver bounds speed and the helper clamps FPS. _resolve_target_fps stays, re-purposed: under the old model that key was the rate frames were presented at, so it is the faithful translation into the refresh the ladder is computed against, used when no hardware refresh is configured. Speed changes for panels that are not 100Hz: 50 px/s becomes 60 at 60Hz (+20%) and 48 at 120Hz (-4%). At 100Hz it is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(display): drop the frame hold when a scroll times out, not just when it says so set_scrolling_state(False) clears the hold. The other way a scroll ends is is_currently_scrolling() deciding, after scroll_inactivity_threshold of silence, that it is over -- which is what happens when the rotation moves on mid-scroll or a plugin is torn down. That path cleared the flag and kept the hold, so every later plugin, scrolling or static, was presented at refresh/N by whoever scrolled last, until something called the explicit stop. The method's own docstring already states the rule this breaks: the hold "must not outlive the scroll that asked for it". The timeout was the exception it did not cover. Pre-existing, but reachable by three plugins before and eleven after the sports scoreboards moved onto the shared resolver, so it belongs with that change. The test ages the activity timestamp past the threshold rather than sleeping. Also adds scripts/sports_scroll_check.py. The sports scroll path is per-league opt-in, so a rig showing static game cards never constructs a SportsScrollDisplay and none of its pacing can be observed from a normal run -- which is exactly what happened when this change was first put on hardware: 26 minutes, zero sports scroll lines. The script drives the path directly with synthetic games and asserts the three things the resolver is meant to buy: the speed lands on whole pixels, the hold is published, and it is released after. It never starts or stops the display service, matching scroll_speeds.py, so a crash here cannot leave the panel dark. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(scripts): refuse to grab the panel while the display service has it The module docstring already said to stop ledmatrix first. Nothing enforced it, and running the script against a live service is not a harmless mistake: rpi-rgb-led-matrix configures GPIO directions and the hardware PWM inside RGBMatrix(), and when the root check fails it calls exit() from C with no cleanup. The service keeps rendering and swapping onto pins that have been reconfigured underneath it, so the panel goes black while every diagnostic says the display is healthy -- fresh framebuffer, every pixel lit, "RGB Matrix initialized successfully", nothing in the log. A restart fixes it, once you work out that is what happened. Found the hard way: this is what took the panel down on the test rig, not the change the script was written to verify. --fallback skips the check, since it never opens the matrix. --force is there for anyone who means it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(scripts): annotate the subprocess call the way this repo already does Codacy fails a PR on one new issue, and bandit B404 fires on any subprocess import. scripts/run_plugin_tests.py carries the same suppression with the same justification -- list-form argv, no shell -- so this follows it rather than inventing a second convention.
