CodeRabbit raised six; all six were real.
The test double had drifted ahead of production. VisualTestDisplayManager
accepted set_scrolling_state(frame_hold=...) while DisplayManager did not,
so such a call passed every harness run and would raise TypeError on the
panel -- the one failure a safety harness exists to prevent. frame_hold
belongs to the change that adds it to DisplayManager (#523), so it moves
there and the double matches main again.
The harness swallowed exceptions from re-rendered frames. _settle_loop
re-renders a mode that came back blank, to give a scroll time to draw;
returning silently on a crash meant a mode that renders one good frame
and then explodes was reported as passing. Recorded on result.error now,
keeping the captured frame so the failure stays inspectable.
starlark-apps display() returned True after _display_frame() failed, so
the controller held a dead frame for the whole display_duration instead
of rotating on. _display_frame now returns bool on all three paths.
run_plugin_tests.py used env.setdefault for PYTHONPATH and
LEDMATRIX_CORE, so an inherited value won and the subprocess imported a
different core than the one under test -- ledmatrix-plugins#467 exactly.
Prepends PROJECT_ROOT and sets LEDMATRIX_CORE unconditionally.
The on-demand mailbox is polled after every frame, ~125x/second on a
scrolling mode, and the read is deliberately uncached, so it was that
many disk reads per second to find nothing. Floored at 250ms, which is
imperceptible for a web-UI click. Consuming it also deleted whatever was
present rather than what had just been processed, so a request posted
while the previous one was in flight was thrown away and never ran; the
delete is now keyed by request_id. That narrows the window rather than
closing it -- a true atomic claim needs a primitive the cache layer does
not offer, and the code says so rather than implying otherwise.
Codacy's 2 criticals were bandit B404/B603 on the subprocess call added
to run_plugin_tests.py. Fixed interpreter, argument list, no shell;
annotated with the repo's existing nosec convention. Bandit is clean on
the file.
Adds test/test_on_demand_mailbox.py (8), test_starlark_display_contract.py
(4) and two settle cases in test_harness_empty_claimed.py. 4, 4 and 2 of
those fail against the pre-fix code. Full suite: 3961 passed.
