ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 8136a2d525 fix(ipc): a plugin reload no longer freezes the panel during Vegas (#723)
A plugin.reload no longer freezes the panel during Vegas: the old instance is torn down and the new one loaded off the render thread (frame gap 3017 ms -> 9 ms in the ledpi reproduction). A failed or timed-out teardown stops the reload with a restart hint instead of loading over stale modules or tearing down an instance still in use.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 746dcfcadb feat(ipc): control socket stage 2 - wake the render thread, brightness.set, plugin.reload (#720)
Control socket stage 2: the render thread wakes for queued commands (static screens ~1 ms, Vegas within one frame), brightness.set, and plugin.reload after a store update, with mailbox/restart fallbacks. Rig checks listed in the PR body are still to run.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 34be83d595 fix(display): end the scroll state at scroller-to-static handovers (#716)
A static plugin screen that follows a scroller no longer starts with the ticker's lagging rows on scan-compensated panels, and the 1 Hz loop's second frame is no longer recorded as a ~1 s mid-scroll freeze / Render stall. The display controller calls DisplayManager.end_scroll_for_static_screen() before a static screen's first display() (clears the scan history; _scan_segments passes its frames through in one swap) and set_scrolling_state(False) after it; the scroller's hold stays until then, so late-frame counts are unchanged. A screen's first frame is tagged 'handover': gaps of 250 ms or more before it go to the additive handover_freezes (frame_soak prints 'Handover gaps'), not freezes. The display thread is named display-<plugin id>. The WiFi notice and the schedule-off blank are not covered yet (docs list them as a follow-up).

ledpi A B B A soak (20 min each, --preview): main 0.118% / 0.113% late with 6 / 3 freezes; with this and #717 0.107% / 0.104% late, 0 freezes.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 4be53d048b feat(fetch): shared fetch service, stage 1 (pooling, merging, host budgets, counters) (#702)
Core's own HTTP fetch paths (APIHelper, fetch_espn_scoreboard and its date chunks, BackgroundDataService, BaseOddsManager.get_odds) go through one service in src/common/fetch_service.py: shared connection pools per retry policy, merged identical in-flight GETs, per-host token-bucket budgets (fetch_service.rate_limits), and per-plugin request counters published to GET /api/v3/plugins/fetch-stats. Return values, exceptions, cache keys, TTLs and retry policies are unchanged. Core-internal in this release; plugins should not import it directly yet.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 9edeb6da14 fix(display): a raising display() counts as a circuit-breaker failure (#707)
The first-frame dispatch (_dispatch_first_frame) now asks PluginExecutor.execute_display() to re-raise (raise_errors=True) and records a raise inside the executor as a breaker failure, with the original exception as last_error, instead of a success. The screen is still an empty pass and rotation is unchanged; a hung display() is still recorded once, as a hang. The run-loop golden trace plugin_error.json is regenerated (crashy now records health failures and is skipped by the breaker), and behaviour 7 is dropped from docs/RUN_LOOP_REDESIGN.md.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 2601cb4cbb chore(deprecation): remove the 35 APIs deprecated for 3.8.0 (#708)
* chore(deprecation): remove the 35 APIs deprecated for 3.8.0

The usage scan (docs/DEPRECATIONS_3.8.md, regenerated 2026-10-01 and
committed here) finds no call or override of any of them in the 46
monorepo plugins or the 8 third-party plugins plugins.json lists; the
only core callers were other deprecated methods removed alongside.

- CacheManager: 13 methods, plus the private helpers only
  has_data_changed used (_has_*_changed, _is_market_open).
- DisplayManager: 7 methods, plus WEATHER_COLORS and the private
  _draw_sun/_cloud/_rain/_snow/_storm helpers only the icon methods used.
- FontManager: 14 methods, plus size_tokens, _save_overrides and
  _clear_plugin_font_cache. font_overrides and _load_overrides stay:
  resolve_font() still applies config/font_overrides.json.
  performance_stats stays: get_font() keeps it and tests read it.
- PluginManager.get_enabled_plugins.

test_deprecation.py pins only the two 3.9.0 markers now; the scanner
tests run against a stand-in core instead of the real markers. The
memory-tier tests read stats through log_memory_cache_stats() and the
component, and the test of the removed _clear_plugin_font_cache goes.
Docs drop the removed methods' reference entries; the Deprecated APIs
table becomes "Removed in 3.8.0". CHANGELOG gains a Removed section.

* chore(deprecation): drop the test harness's copies of the removed icon methods

VisualTestDisplayManager still drew weather icons that DisplayManager no
longer has, so a plugin's visual tests could pass on calls that raise
AttributeError on the real display. Its draw_sun/draw_cloud/draw_rain/
draw_snow/draw_weather_icon/draw_text_with_icons, WEATHER_COLORS and the
private helpers go, with the tests that exercised them. The CHANGELOG's
Deprecations entries no longer say nothing is removed.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 c6701ac00d feat(web): ES-module page lifecycle and one schema field model (stage 1) (#703)
Adds a native ES-module layer to the web UI (core/boot, registry, api, facade; window.LEDMatrix as the one global), a page lifecycle that the Cache tab is converted to as the reference, text/javascript serving and revalidation for unversioned module requests, and src/plugin_system/field_model.py with a parity test against the render_field macro. Also: the cache page toggles its grey 'Not configured' style instead of only adding it.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 a12be7c3c5 feat(sports): live Vegas cards for the scoreboards (shared layer) (#698)
* perf(timing): say which render-thread work a late frame followed

The soak already says how often a moving frame reached the panel late, but
not what the render thread was doing just before it. Vegas does two kinds of
work there between frames -- building its strip (compose, extend) and, with
live elements, patching changed pixels into it -- and deciding whether either
is affordable needs their own numbers.

- FrameTimingRecorder.note_op(kind, nbytes) tags the next presented frame.
  Totals gain op_frames, late_op_frames, op_freezes and op_bytes per kind;
  aggregate() still takes frames without ops. The file schema is unchanged.
- Vegas tags compose and every strip extension (with the bytes it copied).
- frame_soak prints an "after work" table: frames, late %, freezes and MB
  moved per kind, only when something tagged its work.
- render_bench gains --strip-screens (Vegas-sized strips), --patch-bytes /
  --patch-every / --patch-where (in-place column writes, as a live element
  update does) and --extend-every-screens / --extend-width (append + trim on
  a fixed cadence that holds the strip's width).

No runtime behaviour changes: this is the measurement gate for live Vegas
elements.

* perf(scroll): build the strip's PIL image only when something reads it

Every Vegas strip extension rebuilt ScrollHelper.cached_image from
cached_array in full, twice (append, then trim), on the render thread:
Image.fromarray is 1.7ms for an 8,000px strip and 3.8ms for 20,000px on a
Pi 4 (measured on ledpi), about two thirds of an extension's render-thread
cost. Nothing on the frame path reads the image's pixels; every frame is cut
from the array.

cached_image is now a property. append_content and drop_scrolled_prefix
defer it; the first read builds it from the array it started with and keeps
it only if the strip has not changed meanwhile, so a sync push racing an
extension cannot leave a stale image cached. Assigning cached_image stores
exactly what was assigned, as before. has_strip() says whether there is a
strip without building its image; the helper's frame path, Vegas and the
adapter's scroll-cache invalidation use it. The strip is also no longer held
in memory twice.

In Vegas the image is now built only by a multi-display sync push.

* feat(vegas): live elements -- a plugin API for content that changes while it scrolls

Vegas bakes each plugin's pictures into one strip, so a card already on its
way across the panel keeps what it showed when it was drawn. This adds the
API and bookkeeping for content that can be updated in place; the worker
that redraws and swaps it follows separately. No shipped plugin implements
the hook yet, so nothing changes for users.

Plugin API (core 3.8.0), all no-ops by default:
- BasePlugin.get_vegas_elements() -> [VegasElement(key, image, version,
  live, refresh_hz)]: named, fixed-width pieces of Vegas content.
- BasePlugin.redraw_vegas_element(key, width, height, at): a lock-free
  redraw for content that changes with time.
- BasePlugin.notify_vegas_data_changed(): data that lands outside update().
- src/plugin_system/vegas_elements.py (VegasElement, re-exported from
  base_plugin).

Core:
- PluginAdapter asks a plugin that implements the hook for elements on the
  background fetch only (under its lock, on its own canvas); every other
  path keeps get_vegas_content(). Live elements are pinned (padded with
  content_padding, never trimmed), tagged with their key, digest and data
  epoch in Image.info so the existing cache and group plumbing carry them
  unchanged, and untagged if a width budget crops them.
- RenderPipeline records where each live element lands (ElementRecord), in
  absolute strip columns a trim does not move; the block-start arithmetic
  is shared with the STATIC markers.
- PluginManager update listeners (add/remove_update_listener,
  notify_data_changed): told the moment update() completes, not at the
  next ~4s Vegas poll. The coordinator uses one to move each plugin's data
  epoch on.
- vegas_scroll.live_refresh (kill switch), live_max_hz, live_min_interval,
  live_lead_screens; per-plugin core-owned vegas_live. Live elements are
  off under multi-display sync, in swap mode and with offscreen_prefetch off.
- scripts/check_plugin.py checks the element contract
  (src/plugin_system/testing/vegas.py); test/fixtures/plugins/vegas-live-stub
  is a working example.

* feat(vegas): live elements update in place while they scroll

One background worker (src/vegas_mode/live_worker.py) redraws a plugin's
live elements when its data epoch moves on (update listener) or on their
refresh_hz, nearest the screen first, and hands changed pixels lock-free to
the render thread, which copies them into the strip between frames
(RenderPipeline.apply_live_patches, ScrollHelper.patch_columns): at most
four patches or two screens of bytes a frame, no drawing or locks there.
The worker takes over group prefetch once a live element is placed, runs
inside the render gate, and is supervised. Update tick 1s while live
elements exist. Web UI switch for live_refresh. OFFSCREEN_RENDERING.md
describes what was built and why SegmentStrip was not needed.

* feat(sports): live Vegas cards for the scoreboards (shared layer)

One live element per game, drawn only when what the card shows changes, so
a score changes on a card already crossing the panel. The shared part, so
each scoreboard adopts it in a few lines:

- src/common/sports_vegas.py: game_key, game_fingerprint (the whole game
  dict, frozen: no drawn field can be missed), dedupe_games, VegasCardCache,
  StickyOdds (odds a live poll left out stay drawn), finished_games /
  with_finished_games (a game that just went final keeps its card, after its
  league's live games; one a heuristic only judged over keeps its live
  state, so a tied end of regulation never shows FINAL early).
- SportsScrollDisplay.make_vegas_renderer() is the override point;
  build_vegas_elements() and SportsScrollDisplayManager
  .get_vegas_elements_for() do the rest. A card's version includes its
  teams' ranks, which the renderer draws from the rankings cache.
- SportsLiveSharedMixin._record_finished_game() / finished_games_snapshot():
  held for FINISHED_GAME_TTL after it leaves the live list.

A sport that does not implement make_vegas_renderer keeps its ordinary Vegas
content, so no scoreboard changes until it opts in.

scripts/render_plugin.py --vegas renders a plugin's Vegas block as the
ticker lays it out, and --timeline stacks it at successive moments as
the ticker would update it in place; the join is now
render_pipeline.join_plugin_rows().

* refactor(sports): a default _determine_game_type on SportsScrollDisplay

render_vegas_card looked the method up with getattr and a None default, which
static analysis (Codacy) reports as calling something that may not be
callable. The base class now has the default -- the card type from the game's
state -- and the plugins that define their own override it as before.

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

* fix: review follow-ups on the shared live-card layer

- The reused Vegas renderer always gets the current rankings, empty
  included, so ranks cleared since are not kept drawn.
- render_plugin.py: --timeline refuses --no-live (a timeline shows live
  elements changing), --timeline/--no-live need --vegas, and the Vegas
  paths create the output's directory like the display path does.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 64c7289593 feat(display): systemd watchdog and heartbeat for a frozen render loop (#687)
If the render loop gets stuck inside a plugin's display(), ledmatrix.service
stays active and the panel stays frozen. This adds a way to detect that.

- src/display_watchdog.py (standard library only) sends sd_notify over
  $NOTIFY_SOCKET and writes /run/ledmatrix/display-heartbeat.json. Only the
  render thread counts: beats from other threads are ignored.
- ledmatrix.service: WatchdogSec=120, NotifyAccess=main,
  RuntimeDirectory=ledmatrix (0755), RestartSteps=4 and
  RestartMaxDelaySec=2min. It stays Type=simple. run.py widens the watchdog
  to 15 min for start-up, and load_plugin() does the same on the render
  thread. The loop arms after its first frame.
- /api/v3/health adds checks.display_loop: running, stalled (no heartbeat
  for over 60s, which makes the status degraded) or not_reported. With web
  login on, a caller who is not logged in still gets only healthy/degraded,
  and a stall degrades that answer.
- The update verifier requires a fresh heartbeat from the restarted display
  when the display it replaced was writing one. A frozen panel is rolled
  back.
- Existing installs get the systemd watchdog only after install_service.sh
  is re-run. The heartbeat works right away.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 b09434a418 refactor(plugins): the display publishes plugin runtime state; retire plugin_state.json (#690)
Stage 2 of the web plugin catalog, after #688.

- The display publishes a plugin runtime snapshot (plugin_runtime.py) to
  the shared cache: per plugin loaded, lifecycle state, a short redacted
  error summary, the version it loaded and when, plus published_at /
  stale_after / running. Written on change (throttled to 10 s; the
  RUNNING/ENABLED flip of an ordinary update is not a change) and once a
  minute otherwise; cleanup() publishes running: false.
- The web reads it back and restores loaded / state / error_info in
  /api/v3/plugins/installed (plus loaded_version, loaded_at and
  data.runtime). Only a live snapshot counts; stale, stopped or missing
  answers null and says which.
- data/plugin_state.json is retired: every reader and writer moved to
  config + disk (desired) or the snapshot (observed). Nothing in it was
  non-derivable, so nothing is migrated and an existing file is left
  unread. The web-side PluginStateManager (state_manager.py) is removed;
  the display's plugin_state.PluginStateManager is the only state machine.
- StateReconciliation compares config + disk with the snapshot, reporting
  enabled-but-not-loaded and older-version-loaded as no_action findings.
- Backups list installed manifests with enabled from config.json.

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

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

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 5ea0d511dc feat(store): read ledmatrix_min_version, aliases and commit from the registry (#686)
The store reads three optional registry fields: ledmatrix_min_version
(an incompatible install/update is refused before any download, with a
"Needs LEDMatrix X+" card badge), aliases (update/uninstall/reinstall by
registry id find a plugin installed under its manifest id, with registry
proof only), and commit (shown and linked on the store card). An older
plugins.json behaves as before.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 1c928b2033 feat(vegas): one declared participation per plugin (scroll | pause | exclude) (#682)
A plugin takes part in Vegas mode in one declared way: 'scroll', 'pause'
or 'exclude', resolved from the user's vegas_participation setting, the
manifest field, then the legacy hooks, so no plugin changes behaviour.
The stream manager decides inclusion and pauses through it; the installed
plugins API and the Vegas plugin-order list report it. Deprecates
get_supported_vegas_modes, get_vegas_segment_width and vegas_panel_count
for removal in 3.9.0, and regenerates docs/DEPRECATIONS_3.8.md to include
them.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 c0d97e4867 fix(plugins): one hung plugin no longer stops every plugin from updating (#677)
The update worker no longer blocks forever on a plugin whose display()
never returns. It waits at most PLUGIN_LOCK_TIMEOUT (5s) for a plugin's
lock, then skips that plugin's update (a report-only "busy skip" in
health) and keeps updating every other plugin. display() frames are timed
(slow calls logged and counted; calls past the executor timeout recorded as
hangs), a hung update() is recorded, and on_config_change() now runs under
the plugin lock or is deferred to the worker. The plugin-facing API is
unchanged.

Optional web login, off by default: a device that sets no password behaves

route needs a session login or an API token (Authorization: Bearer).
Loopback, the Wi-Fi setup flow in AP mode, static files, captive-portal
probes and a reduced /api/v3/health stay open. Secrets live in the web_auth

scripts/reset_web_password.py turns login off. Stacked on #674.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 c3a7a110c4 fix(display): on-demand loads a disabled plugin live instead of failing (#678)
* fix(web): on-demand no longer restarts a running display service

POST /display/on-demand/start treated start_service (default true, sent by
"Preview on display", the on-demand dialog and the MQTT bridge) as
"restart": with the service running it ran systemctl stop, slept 1.5s and
started it again. Every request cold-started the display process -- every
plugin reloaded, panel blank -- to deliver a request the running process
already reads from the cache mailbox every ON_DEMAND_POLL_INTERVAL (0.25s),
including mid-dwell, mid-screen and mid-Vegas. The restart bought nothing:
startup only restores a session the display saved itself
(display_on_demand_config), so the new request arrived through the same
mailbox either way.

start_service now means "start it if it is not running". The stop route
coerces stop_service to a boolean so "false" no longer stops the service.
test_api_v3_on_demand_restart.py pinned the old restart path; it now pins
the replacement. Docs updated.

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

* fix(display): on-demand loads a disabled plugin live instead of failing

The display process only loads enabled plugins, so an on-demand request for
a disabled one -- "Preview on display" offers it on every config page, with a
note that the plugin will be enabled for the preview -- failed with
invalid-mode. Nothing enabled it short of a restart, and the on-demand route
no longer restarts the service.

_activate_on_demand now loads an installed-but-not-running plugin through
the live-enable path (load_plugin + _register_loaded_plugin), with a new
load_plugin(force_enabled=True) so the instance runs enabled while
config.json keeps saying disabled. The plugin is tracked in
_on_demand_loaded_plugins, and the main loop unloads it through
_unregister_plugin once on-demand moves off it (stop, expiry, another
request, or a failed request that ends the session) -- right after its own
poll, where no display() is on the stack. A failed load publishes status
error with load-failed. A plugin enabled during the session stays loaded.

A session restored after a restart uses the same tracking instead of
setting enabled in the config dict config_manager caches, so its plugin is
unloaded when the session ends rather than staying loaded until the next
restart. Ending a session no longer resumes the rotation onto a plugin that
is about to be unloaded, which a restored session did.

Also: a stop sent while on-demand is inactive clears a failed request's
error, instead of /display/on-demand/status reporting status: error until
the state aged out.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 8557eff88a fix(plugins): put a (re)loading plugin's directory first on sys.path (#663)
Plugins import their own files by bare name (`from sports import ...`),
which resolves to the first directory on sys.path that has the file. The
loader added a plugin's directory only if it was missing, so on a reload --
a live re-enable from the web UI -- the plugin's directory stayed behind
every plugin loaded since, and its bare imports found their files first.

Seen on ledpi: re-enabling UFC with hockey running failed with "cannot
import name '_status_is_final' from 'sports'" (it got hockey's sports.py).
A loading plugin's directory is now always moved to the front. Every
scoreboard ships its own sports.py, so any of them was exposed on reload.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 b8c01c69fb ci: mypy ratchet -- keep type-clean modules clean (71 modules, 536 -> 442 errors) (#661)
* ci: mypy ratchet -- keep type-clean modules clean

mypy-clean.txt lists the 71 modules under src/ that type-check clean;
scripts/check_types.py runs mypy (--follow-imports=silent) on exactly
those files and fails on any error or a missing/unsorted/duplicate entry.
A new "Type check (mypy ratchet)" CI job runs it with mypy 1.20.2 and
pinned stubs; the manual pre-commit mypy hook now runs the same script
(a local hook, so mypy sees the installed requirements like CI does).

35 modules were made clean with annotation-only fixes: hints, typing.cast,
TYPE_CHECKING imports, implicit-Optional defaults made explicit, and
annotations widened (never guards removed) where mypy called a defensive
isinstance check unreachable. No runtime behaviour change.

mypy.ini: numpy and orjson are treated as Any (follow_imports=skip, also
for stubs). numpy 2.3+ stubs use 3.12 `type` statements that mypy won't
parse at python_version 3.10, and orjson is optional, so seeing its stubs
made the result depend on whether it was installed.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 989eae9405 refactor(plugins): split PluginStoreManager into mixins (#659)
* refactor(plugins): split PluginStoreManager into mixins

src/plugin_system/store_manager.py (2,977 lines) keeps the class, its
shared state, locks, the uninstall registry, directory lookup and
uninstall; its methods are split by area into:
- store_registry.py (_RegistryMixin): registry, GitHub metadata, search,
  manifest validation
- store_install.py (_InstallMixin): install paths and dependencies
- store_update.py (_UpdateMixin): updates, rollback, local git state

Pure move: all 56 members are byte-identical (checked with ast) and the
assembled class has exactly the same attributes as before (checked at
runtime). PluginStoreManager is imported from store_manager.py as before.
Tests that patched shared modules (subprocess, requests, tempfile, shutil)
through store_manager now reach them through the module whose code they
exercise; a source-text contract test reads all store_*.py modules.

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

* chore: annotate findings the split moved into new store modules

subprocess imports and a list-form git clone (no shell), and the config
template's placeholder token string -- existing code that Codacy reported
as new because it moved. Annotated with the repo's nosec/nosemgrep style.

* fix(plugin-system): unload/update race, failed-load module cleanup, limits validation, schema lookup, install rollback, op-queue dedupe

- unload_plugin takes the per-plugin lock (5s bounded) before cleanup(),
  and an update() that finishes after its plugin was unloaded no longer
  sets the state back to ENABLED.
- A load that fails after import drops plugin_<id> and its submodules
  and forgets its manager fonts, so a fixed plugin reloads new code.
- Resource limits are validated as non-negative numbers: 400 at
  POST /plugins/limits, bad cached records ignored with one warning.
  Route docstrings note health/metrics reset and limits only change the
  web process's view.
- SchemaManager.get_schema_path resolves each search dir via
  resolve_plugin_dir (manifest id, ledmatrix-<id>) before the literal
  paths; plugins/ still before plugin-repos/. Misses cached 30s and
  logged once at DEBUG.
- install_from_url sets an existing copy aside and restores it if the
  move fails, under the per-plugin reinstall lock.
- Operation queue refuses a second pending op for a plugin and trims
  _operations with history.
- get_vegas_render_width reads display_manager.width first.
- get_logger in store/schema/health/resource/saved_repositories;
  UTF-8 reads in store_manager and state_manager.
- Docs: update_interval precedence (manifest over config) stated where
  users are told to set it in config.

- store_manager._install_via_download: extract dir cleanup moved to finally.
- Test doubles: draw_image() warns (DeprecationWarning; the real
  DisplayManager has none), MockDisplayManager.draw_text accepts the real
  signature's optional params, VisualTestDisplayManager logs draw errors at
  WARNING.
- Docs/comments: compatibility.py method name, PluginState.LOADED meaning,

* fix(security): refuse unsafe plugin ids, keep secrets private, validate bodies

- install_from_url and the registry install's manifest rename refuse a
  plugin id that is not a single safe name (no ../ out of plugins_dir).
- Uninstall and config reset refuse core config sections and ids with
  path parts; uninstall of a plugin whose directory is gone still works.
- separate_secrets checks a field's own x-secret marker before recursing,
  so object/array secrets no longer land in config.json.
- Backup restore creates missing secrets/wifi/ytm files with mode 640;
  export skips non-object manifests and no longer collides on same-second
  exports.
- SYSTEM_FONTS includes every bundled font from BUNDLED_FONTS.
- Raw config/secrets saves and validate_request_json require a JSON object.
- A blank max_dynamic_duration_seconds keeps the stored value; other values
  are validated to 30-1800 instead of raising a 500.

* fix(security): validate the id before install_plugin moves anything; claim backup names atomically

- install_plugin set aside plugins_dir / plugin_id before any id check, so
  "../x" moved a directory outside the plugins dir (the rollback moved it
  back, but only if the install path got that far)
- two exports finishing in the same second could both see a free name and
  the later os.replace destroyed the first archive; the name is now
  claimed with O_EXCL before the archive is swapped in

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 da5937da3d fix: six bugs found testing main on a real Pi (#641)
* fix: six bugs found testing main on a real Pi (ledpi)

- Stopping the service now runs cleanup. systemd stops ledmatrix.service
  with SIGTERM, whose default action ended Python before run()'s finally
  block, so the update worker, Vegas and the panel were never torn down.
  main() now turns SIGTERM into KeyboardInterrupt, the Ctrl-C path.
- "Now showing" no longer turns into "unknown". display_current_state was
  only written on a mode change and the web UI reads it with max_age=120,
  so a live game or a single plugin on screen for longer read as unknown.
  It is republished every 30 s while unchanged.
- Switching Vegas on in the web UI works when it was off at startup. The
  coordinator was only created at startup; the config watcher now flags it
  and the render thread creates it.
- configure_web_sudo.sh finds reboot and poweroff in /usr/sbin. Run as the
  web user it could not, silently dropped their rules and still said it
  granted them, so the web UI's Reboot/Shutdown stopped working.
- check_system_compatibility.sh reports installed packages as installed.
  `dpkg -l | grep -q` under pipefail failed when grep exited early.
- A network failure fetching GitHub repo info logs a WARNING, not ERROR.

* fix(display): cover the follower, long-render and startup cases

Review follow-ups on the ledpi fixes:
- The pending Vegas start is applied before the sync-follower branch too
  (_apply_pending_vegas_init), which skips _is_vegas_mode_active() while a
  follower is connected but needs the coordinator for the leader's image.
- _service_pending_changes(), which runs inside Vegas iterations and long
  screens, republishes a stale display_current_state as well; the main
  loop alone could be away for a 240 s Vegas iteration.
- The SIGTERM handler is installed after DisplayController() is built, so a
  stop during parallel plugin loading keeps the default immediate exit.

DisplayManager.offscreen() gives a thread its own canvas, so Vegas renders every plugin's ticker content on its prefetch thread instead of pausing the scroll for canvas-bound plugins on the render thread. A render gate (src/common/render_gate.py, vegas_scroll.prefetch_gate, on by default with the GIL-releasing binding) lets the prefetch thread run Python only while the render thread waits in SwapOnVSync: on hdpi, frames 2+ refreshes late fell eightfold and late frames overall from 0.90% to 0.60%.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 7b90759252 fix: /errors stack traces, Wi-Fi disconnect and save, plugin fonts, API cache TTL (#636)
* fix(errors): record the exception's own stack trace

record_error() called traceback.format_exc(), which only sees an
exception while its except block is running. plugin_executor records
exceptions caught on a worker thread after that block has ended, so
every trace on /errors read "NoneType: None". The trace is now built
from the exception's __traceback__. The executor's log call had the
same problem with exc_info=True and now passes the exception.

record_error() also merged LEDMatrixError context into the caller's
dict in place; it now works on a copy.

* docs(wifi): point at configure_wifi_permissions.sh instead of a sudoers list

The module docstring told users to grant NOPASSWD sudo on iptables and

the script and say why it leaves them out.

* fix(wifi): disconnect finds the saved profile by SSID

disconnect_from_network() asked `nmcli -f NAME,802-11-wireless.ssid
connection show` for the profile to take down, but nmcli rejects that
column for `connection show`, so the lookup always failed and only the
device was disconnected. The per-profile lookup _connect_nmcli() already
used is now _find_profile_for_ssid(), and both callers share it. It
also splits terse output on the last colon and unescapes "\:", so a
profile name containing a colon is found.

* fix(wifi): write wifi_config.json atomically and report a failed save

_save_config() opened the file for writing in place and swallowed any
error, so a wifi_config.json left owned by root made the web toggle for
auto-enabling AP mode report success while nothing was saved, and a
crash mid-write could truncate the file. It now uses atomic_write_json,
which also keeps the file's owner and shared group when root saves it,
and returns False on failure. POST /wifi/ap/auto-enable answers 500 in
that case.

The file is now written with indent=4, like the other config files.

* fix(fonts): resolve plugin:// fonts in the plugin's own directory

FontManager looked for a plugin's bundled fonts under Path("plugins") /
plugin_id: relative to the process cwd, and not the default install
directory (plugin-repos/), so a manifest's plugin:// fonts never loaded.

register_plugin_fonts() takes an optional plugin_dir, and PluginManager
passes the directory it loaded the plugin from. Callers that omit it get
a lookup in the configured plugin_system.plugins_directory, then plugins/,
resolved against the install root.

* fix(api-helper): cache responses for the requested cache_ttl

APIHelper.get(cache_ttl=...) and set_cache(ttl=...) dropped the ttl on
the claim that CacheManager does not support one, but CacheManager.set()
takes a ttl, stores it with the entry, and both cache tiers honour it
over a reader's max_age. Without it every response expired after the
300-second default read age, whatever the plugin asked for. The ttl is
now passed through, and the cache read passes cache_ttl as max_age for
entries written without one. The class docstring describes what the
helper actually does.

* fix(style): one scale range for the schema, element_scale and LogoHelper

The generated Scale field allowed 0.1 to 10, element_style's reader
capped at 10 with no floor, and LogoHelper accepted 0.05 to 8 and reset
anything else to 1.0. A logo scale of 9, which the form accepts, drew at
the shipped size.

MIN_ELEMENT_SCALE / MAX_ELEMENT_SCALE (0.1, 10.0) in src.element_style
are now the schema bounds and the clamp every reader applies through
coerce_scale(): a positive number outside the range is clamped, and
anything that is not a finite positive number means the default. That
also stops element_scale() passing NaN through, since min(nan, 10.0)
is nan.

* fix(logos): placeholder lands at the requested path; empty logos list

download_missing_logo() wrote its fallback placeholder to
<normalize_abbreviation(abbr)>.png in the logo directory rather than to
the logo_path the caller passed, so it could return True while nothing
existed where the plugin looks (e.g. "TA&M.png" vs "TAANDM.png").
create_placeholder_logo() takes an optional filepath, and
download_missing_logo passes the requested one.

download_missing_logo_for_team() only caught KeyError, so a team whose
"logos" list is empty raised IndexError; it now treats KeyError,
IndexError and TypeError as "no logo URL".

The placeholder is drawn with PLACEHOLDER_SIZE / PLACEHOLDER_BG, the
constants is_placeholder_logo() recognises it by, instead of repeated
literals.

* fix(fonts): resolve bundled font paths against the install root

TextHelper's default font_dir, the logo placeholder's font and
FontManager's font_overrides.json were all relative to the process cwd,
so a process started anywhere but the install root (the plugin safety
harness, a manual run, a unit without WorkingDirectory) drew with PIL's
default face and read no overrides. They now go through
font_layout.resolve_asset_path; the overrides file sits in the install
root's config/.

The resolver docstrings described an order the code does not follow:
resolve_asset_path never consults the cwd, and sports_shared's
_resolve_font_path tries the cwd first. Both docstrings now say what
the code does, and _resolve_font_path calls resolve_asset_path instead
of probing FontManager for it.

* fix(sync): the web UI reads the sync status file the display writes

sync_manager writes its status to tempfile.gettempdir(), but
GET /api/v3/sync/status read a hardcoded /tmp/led_matrix_sync_status.json

any non-/tmp host) the page only ever showed "starting". The endpoint now
uses sync_manager.STATUS_FILE and SYNC_PORT.

DynamicTeamResolver fetched ESPN rankings with a bare requests.get, so

DEFAULT_HTTP_HEADERS. BaseOddsManager carried its own copy of the
User-Agent string and now uses the same shared headers (which also adds
Accept-Language).

the branch's ref was packed. It is now src.__version__.

list_installed_plugins() scanned a hardcoded plugin-repos/, so on an
install whose plugin_system.plugins_directory points elsewhere, plugins
missing from plugin_state.json were left out of the backup. It now reads
the configured directory from config/config.json, defaulting to
plugin-repos.

* fix(startup): report a missing display section once

A config without a display section produced three errors for the one
problem ("Missing required configuration key: display", "Display
configuration is missing or empty" and "Display configuration is
missing"), and an empty one produced two. _validate_config now reports
it once, as a missing key or an empty section, and
_validate_display_config leaves it to that.

The module docstring said the validator fails fast; nothing in the
display service calls raise_on_errors(), so it now says the errors are
reported and startup continues.

* refactor(wifi): share the copied blocks and name the AP constants

- _parse_nmcli_wifi_list() is the one parser behind _scan_nmcli and
  _scan_nmcli_cached.
- _verify_connected(), _wait_for_device_idle(), _failsafe_ap() and
  _mark_forced() replace blocks that were pasted two or three times in
  the connect and enable-AP paths. The device-idle wait now checks
  before its first one-second sleep instead of after it.
- _check_command() calls _find_command_path() instead of repeating it.
- AP_IP, PORTAL_PORT, AP_PROFILE_NAME and AP_PROFILE_NAMES name values
  that were spelled out 14, 12, 8 and 2 times; the two deletion loops
  now walk the same tuple. The iwconfig status path compares the AP
  address exactly: startswith() also skipped 192.168.4.10-19.
- Dropped a second WIFI.SIGNAL query that repeated the first, a no-op
  "if ssid: continue", the try/except around _connect_wpa_supplicant's
  constant return, and a second save of a scan scan_networks already
  saves.
- _ensure_wifi_radio_enabled's docstring says it returns True when the
  radio state cannot be read at all.

* refactor(config): drop dead branches and history comments in ConfigManager

- The module docstring pointed plugin authors at update_plugin_config(),
  which does not exist; it now names save_config_atomic() and
  save_raw_file_content().
- load_config's FileNotFoundError handler tested the message for
  "config_secrets.json", but a missing secrets file is handled where it
  is read, so only config.json reaches it; the check is gone.
- save_raw_file_content's `file_type == "main" or "secrets"` guard was
  always true (anything else raised earlier).
- get_raw_file_content('secrets') already returns {} for a missing file,
  so the os.path.exists() in front of two calls to it is gone.
- Comments that narrated earlier behaviour are rewritten as what the
  code does now.

* refactor(background-data): present-tense comments, drop unused API

- Comments that told the history of each fix (what "used to" happen,
  "the old per-delivery release") now state the invariant the code keeps.
- get_statistics() no longer reports a constant 'queue_size': 0, and the
  uncalled clear_completed_requests() is gone (_cleanup_completed_requests
  does that job on every completion). Neither is referenced in core, the
  web UI or the plugin monorepo.

shutdown_background_service() has no production caller either, but it
is the only way to tear down the get_background_service() singleton,
which the tests rely on, so it stays.

* refactor(odds): drop the unread cache_ttl and merge the odds_data branches

BaseOddsManager loaded base_odds_manager.cache_ttl from config and never
used it: cached odds live for the update interval (get_odds' ttl=interval).
No core or monorepo code reads the attribute, so it is gone along with
its log line. The two consecutive `if odds_data:` blocks are one.

* refactor(backup): one table for the single-file sections

config, secrets, wifi and ytm_auth were each spelled out in create,

with the RestoreOptions flag that restores each, and all four walk it.
Restore error messages keep their wording ("Failed to restore
<file name>").

* refactor(fonts): drop FontManager's write-only state and duplicate logs

- fonts_config, font_metadata and font_dependencies were written and
  never read; the performance_stats keys font_load_times, render_times,
  total_renders and the per-call "resolve" timings
  (_record_performance_metric) likewise. get_performance_stats() reads
  only the counters that remain. Nothing in core or the plugin monorepo
  references any of them.
- A failed BDF load was logged twice, by _load_bdf_font and again by
  get_font; get_font's line is the one kept.
- Removed "NEW:" and commented-out cozette entries, the "Copy font to
  assets/fonts" comment on code that copies nothing, and local imports
  of names the module already imports. The deprecated add_font() now
  resolves assets/fonts against the install root.

The @deprecated methods stay.

* refactor(text-helper): cache loaded fonts; drop the pre-textlength fallback

TextHelper declared _font_cache, cleared it and reported its size, but
never stored anything in it. load_fonts() now keeps each (file, size)
it loads there, so clear_font_cache() and get_font_cache_stats() mean
what they say and repeated load_fonts() calls reuse the fonts.

get_text_width() no longer catches AttributeError for Pillow releases
without ImageDraw.textlength; requirements.txt pins Pillow>=12.2.
The class docstring describes what the helper does.

* docs(common): fix wrong docstrings in api_helper, permission_utils, snapshot_policy

- permission_utils called 0o2775 "sticky bit"; the 2 is setgid, which is
  what makes new files take the directory's group.
- snapshot_policy pointed at web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py, which
  is a package now; the health check is in api_v3/misc.py.
- APIHelper.clear_cache() lost a history note and a fallback to a
  clear() method that neither CacheManager nor the testing
  MockCacheManager has. The session headers are built from
  DEFAULT_HTTP_HEADERS instead of a copy of them, and the module
  docstring says what the module offers.

* docs(sports): present-tense comments in the shared scoreboard renderers

- sports_scroll and sports_game_renderer comments that referred to "this
  PR", "the old flat 128px card" or what the renderer "previously" did
  now describe the current behaviour and its reason.
- The block explaining why non-finite settings are rejected sat above
  _score_reserve_width; it describes _center_gap_width and now lives in
  it.
- unshare_element_fonts wrapped its import of font_layout.load_truetype
  in an `except ImportError` that cannot fire inside core; the import
  stays at call time so tests can spy on the pinned loader.
- sports_card docstrings that told the history of a fix say what the
  code does.

* refactor(sports-shared): drop dead code, name the ESPN limit

- _get_weeks_data asked for limit=1000, which fetch_espn_scoreboard
  clamps to ESPN_MAX_LIMIT anyway; it now names that constant. Its
  unused `immediate_events = []` is gone.
- _get_season_schedule_dates() returned ("", "") and has no caller in
  core or the plugin monorepo.
- _should_log keeps its warning_type parameter (part of the inherited
  signature, though nothing in core or the monorepo calls it) and its
  docstring says the cooldown is shared across types.
- An unused ImageFont import is gone.

* refactor(sync): one follower-mode switch, shared panel defaults

- The class docstring said the leader sends PNG frames. Frames go over
  UDP as raw RGB; PNG is only the Vegas scroll image sent over TCP. It
  now describes both paths.
- _enter_follower_mode() replaces the two copies of "note the leader,
  switch from standalone to follower, log, write status" in the frame
  and scroll-position handlers.
- The rows/cols fallbacks use DEFAULT_ROWS / DEFAULT_COLS from
  src.display_geometry, as chain_length already did.

- _element_block_from_spec checked spec['size'] was a dict again after
  size_spec already had; it reads size_spec.
- The "Layout Offsets" title written into three generated schema blocks
  is _LAYOUT_TITLE.

* docs(logo-helper): say what the placeholder draws; name the 1.5 box factor

- _create_placeholder_logo's docstring said it draws the team
  abbreviation; it draws an outlined grey box and nothing else. The
  docstring says so, and the "in a real implementation you'd want text"
  comments are gone.
- The 1.5 x panel default logo box, written out six times, is
  DEFAULT_LOGO_BOX_FACTOR.
- ImageDraw is imported with Image at the top of the module.

* refactor(logos): drop dead code and a duplicate regex in logo_downloader

- _SAFE_LEAGUE_CODE_RE was the same pattern as _SAFE_LEAGUE_RE; both
  checks use the one.
- get_logo_filename_variations reassigned the TA&M case to the list it
  already had; the function returns the two names directly.
- _get_team_name_variations() had no caller in core or the plugin
  monorepo.
- fetch_single_team's docstring was copied from fetch_teams_data; a log
  message read "for{team_id}".

* refactor: drop the Pillow<9.1 resample shim and a catch-and-reraise

- adaptive_images fell back to Image.LANCZOS/NEAREST for Pillow < 9.1;
  requirements.txt pins Pillow>=12.2. RESAMPLE_LANCZOS and
  RESAMPLE_NEAREST keep their names (src.common re-exports them).
- CacheManager.save_cache caught CacheError only to re-raise it; the
  disk write is now called directly, with the same result.

The fixture now stops the thread on teardown.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 b11bcfa204 fix(plugins): store and plugin-manager bugs; tidy src/plugin_system (#635)
* fix(store): don't read a ZIP-installed plugin's remote from the LEDMatrix repo

update_plugin looked up remote.origin.url with `git -C <plugin> config
--local` for plugins that are not git checkouts. Under plugin-repos/ git
walks up to the enclosing LEDMatrix repository, so the lookup returned
LEDMatrix's own URL and a plugin missing from the registry was
"reinstalled" from the LEDMatrix repo. Only ask git when the plugin
directory has its own .git, the test _get_local_git_info already uses.

* fix(schema): report each missing required field once, by name

validate_config_against_schema ran its own required-fields loop after
Draft7Validator.iter_errors, which already yields one `required` error
per missing field, so every missing top-level field was listed twice.
The validator's copy also printed the schema's whole `required` list
("Missing required property '['api_key', 'city']'") instead of the field.
Drop the loop and take the field name from the error itself.

* fix(store): stop mangling repository URLs that contain ".git"

install_from_url and fetch_registry_from_url cleaned URLs with
`rstrip('/').replace('.git', '')`, which removes ".git" anywhere:
https://github.com/user/my.github.io became .../myhub.io, so installing
or browsing that repository asked GitHub for one that does not exist.

Add src/plugin_system/repo_urls.py with one anchored normalize_repo_url(),
same_repo() for comparisons, github_owner_repo() and github_api_headers(),
and use them for the five copies of the owner/repo parsing and GitHub
headers in the store and for saved repositories. GitHub URLs are now
recognised by urlparse().hostname everywhere: _get_latest_commit_info
used a substring test, and _install_from_monorepo_api parsed any host.

* fix(store): install a repository whose only branch is not main/master

_install_via_git returned None both when every clone failed and when the
last-resort clone of the repository's default branch succeeded.
_install_plugin_impl papered over it with `and not plugin_path.exists()`;
install_from_url did not, so a repository whose only branch is e.g.
`develop` was cloned, then treated as a failure, then "downloaded" from
main/master archives that do not exist.

After a default-branch clone, return the branch the clone checked out
(read from .git/HEAD), so None means failure and nothing else, and give
both callers the same `branch_used is None` fallback.

* fix(plugins): judge the memory limit on each call's own growth

monitor_call stores `metrics.memory_mb = max(previous, growth)`, and
_check_limits compared that high-water mark with max_memory_mb. It never
decreases, so once one update() grew the process past the limit every
later call raised ResourceLimitExceeded and the circuit breaker kept
reopening. Pass the call's own RSS growth to _check_limits; keep the
high-water mark for reporting and document what it measures.

Remove ResourceMetrics.update_average_execution_time: nothing called it,
and it overwrote the running total with the average.

* fix(plugins): reload_plugin re-reads the manifest from the discovered directory

reload_plugin read `plugins_dir / plugin_id / "manifest.json"`, ignoring
the discovery map and the plugin_dirs rules. For a plugin whose
directory name differs from its manifest id the path did not exist, the
re-read was skipped without a word, and the reload kept the stale
manifest. Resolve the directory with find_plugin_directory, as
load_plugin does.

* fix(plugins): drop the always-null last_display from plugin state info

PluginStateManager reported `last_display` from `_last_display`, which
nothing ever wrote, so it was null for every plugin. Recording it in
PluginExecutor.execute_display would not help: get_state_info's only
reader is the web process, whose PluginManager never calls display().
Remove the field, its dict and get_last_display() (no caller in core,
the web UI or the plugin monorepo).

* refactor(store): share the rollback and requirements helpers, drop dead code

- install_plugin and _reinstall_with_rollback set aside, discard and
  restore the old copy through _set_aside/_discard_backup/_restore_backup
  instead of two copies of the same blocks.
- The loader and the store run the same pre-pip checks through
  contained_plugin_dir() and requirements_to_install() in plugin_loader.
  They still invoke pip differently (sys.executable -m pip vs. the sudo
  wrapper). `except (BrokenPipeError, OSError)` + `isinstance(e, OSError)`
  becomes `except OSError` checking errno.EPIPE.
- load_module never returns None, so load_plugin's check is gone and the
  docstring says what it raises.
- Remove the always-true JSONSCHEMA_AVAILABLE, the inline re-imports of
  re and permission_utils, the fake status_result object nobody reads,
  hasattr(git_error, 'cmd'), a redundant "merge conflict" test and
  `import traceback` (exc_info=True does it).
- Correct comments: install_from_url names the directory for the
  caller's id when given (not always the manifest id), _get_local_git_info
  saves one git subprocess (not four), _enrich calls two helpers,
  search_plugins documents all its arguments, _find_plugin_path states
  its behaviour instead of a TODO, and history narration is gone.

* refactor(plugins): tidy base_plugin, correct plugin_manager/state comments

- base_plugin: drop the unused `import logging`; get_display_duration
  runs the instance value and the config value through one
  _positive_seconds() helper instead of two copies of the coercion; the
  'static'/'none'/fallback branches of get_vegas_display_mode, which all
  returned FIXED_SEGMENT, are one; fix the mis-indented validate_config
  example; say that get_supported_vegas_modes/get_vegas_segment_width
  are not consulted by core (kept, plugins override them).
- schema_manager: import expand_style_elements normally rather than
  swallowing an ImportError of a core module.
- plugin_manager: the plugins directory is the configured one
  (plugin-repos/ by default), not plugins/; get_config() returns the live
  dict, not a copy, so the interval cache comments say what it saves.
- state_manager: config_version and the file version are not used to
  detect corruption; say what they are.

* refactor(plugins): stop writing data/plugin_operations.json

PluginOperationQueue wrote its finished-operation history to
data/plugin_operations.json after every operation, and read it back only
into its own in-memory list, which only get_operation_history() exposes
-- and nothing calls that. The operation-history endpoint reads
OperationHistory (data/operation_history.json). No code in src/,
web_interface/, scripts/ or test/ reads the file.

Drop the history_file/lazy_load parameters and the load/save code; the
bounded in-memory history stays. web_interface/app.py and the
integration test stop passing the removed arguments. An existing
data/plugin_operations.json is left in place (data/* is gitignored).

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 ece416c4e5 refactor(plugins): one plugin-directory resolver (#623)
* refactor(plugins): one resolver for plugin id -> directory

Five places mapped a plugin id to its directory, each with its own rules
and each re-reading manifests per lookup: PluginManager discovery and
get_plugin_directory, PluginLoader.find_plugin_directory,
PluginStoreManager._find_plugin_path / list_installed_plugins, and
state_reconciliation.disk_plugin_ids. They disagreed on backup dirs,
on whether the manifest id or the directory name is the id, on duplicate
ids and on path safety.

src/plugin_system/plugin_dirs.py now holds the rules once:
PluginDirectoryIndex scans one directory and reads each manifest once;
resolve_plugin_dir() searches directories in order. What legitimately
differs per caller is an explicit argument: search dirs (discovery and
the loader: configured dir only; the store: configured then sibling
plugins/), ledmatrix- prefix (not for the store), case folding (loader
only), manifest pass (not for get_plugin_directory, whose discovery map
already holds it).

Behaviour changes, all for layouts installs do not produce:
- a directory whose manifest declares the id beats one merely named for
  it (discovery already worked this way; the loader and store now agree)
- the store searches the configured dir completely before plugins/
- backup and hidden dirs are skipped everywhere (the loader's case and
  manifest scans and list_installed_plugins used to return them)
- duplicate ids resolve deterministically (exact name, then
  ledmatrix-<id>, then by name) with a one-time warning; discovery no
  longer lists the id twice
- disk_plugin_ids / list_installed_plugins report manifest ids, falling
  back to the directory name; auto-update looks the directory up
- ids that are not one plain path segment resolve to nothing in every
  caller (the loader used to truncate them, the store to join them)

The .standalone-backup- marker is one constant, BACKUP_MARKER, used by
store_manager's rename-aside names and every lookup.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 afe9001aed refactor(fonts): one BDF loader and one BDF rasterizer (#627)
* refactor(fonts): one BDF loader and one BDF rasterizer

BDF faces were loaded three ways (FontManager._load_bdf_font,
element_style._load_bdf, DisplayManager._load_fonts) and drawn by two
copies of the same per-pixel loop (DisplayManager._draw_bdf_text and the
plugin test harness's "replicated" copy), which golden images and
check_plugin/dev_server previews rely on matching the panel.

src/common/bdf_font.py now owns both:
- load_bdf_face(path, size) -> (face, realised_px): native-strike fallback
  for sizes the file lacks, one bounded LRU cache keyed on path, size and
  mtime. FontManager, element_style and DisplayManager delegate to it;
  read_bdf_native_size moves here (the old names delegate).
- draw_bdf_text(draw, text, x, y, face, color, clip): builds each glyph as
  a 1-bit mask and fills it with ImageDraw.bitmap instead of a draw.point
  per pixel. A blending Draw (RGB image, "RGBA" mode) keeps the point path
  so translucent colours still blend.

Pixel-identical: 220,032 renders (every bundled BDF at native and
off-strike sizes, 14 strings, 4 colours, clipped on every edge, through
each old loader x rasterizer) match origin/main byte for byte.
test/test_bdf_font.py keeps a lightweight version against a frozen copy of
the old loop. DisplayManager._draw_bdf_text goes from 1.4-23 ms to about
0.1 ms per string (the old loop re-read FreeType's buffer as a Python list
for every pixel).

* fix(testing): harness calendar_font is sized like the panel's

VisualTestDisplayManager built its 5x7 calendar_font / bdf_5x7_font as a
bare freetype.Face. With no size set its ascender reads 0, so BDF text
drawn with it landed 6px above where DisplayManager draws it -- entirely
off the canvas at y=0 -- and get_font_height() returned 0. Golden images
and check_plugin / dev_server previews showed text the panel does not.

Load it through load_bdf_face at the panel's 7px, so it is the very face
DisplayManager uses. Across the differential run this changes only the
cases drawn with the harness's own calendar_font (968 of 220,032), which
now match the panel's output.

* fix(fonts): one BDF face per thread

The shared face cache now hands every loader (FontManager, element_style,
DisplayManager, the harness) the same freetype.Face. FreeType does not allow
two threads to use one face at once, since load_char rewrites its glyph
slot, so key the cache by thread as well.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f3894916a9 feat(web): show which plugins use each font; warn before deleting one (#619)
* feat(web): show which plugins use each font, warn before deleting one

The Fonts tab lists font files from the web process's own scan, and the
plugins that register fonts run in the display process, so the tab had no
way to say whether a font was in use before deleting it.

The display service now publishes {catalog key: [plugin ids]} to the
shared cache (font_usage_snapshot, src/font_usage.py), built from the
loaded plugins' FontManager.register_manager_font() registrations. A
daemon thread checks every 10 s and writes only when the usage changed
(plus a daily refresh so cache cleanup cannot expire it); it never raises.
Families, aliases (press_start, four_by_six, ...) and paths are resolved
through FontManager's catalog to the file stem the Fonts tab keys rows by;
fonts outside assets/fonts are left out. Unloading a plugin drops its
registrations (new FontManager.forget_manager_fonts).

GET /api/v3/fonts/catalog merges used_by into each row per request (the
5-minute scan cache is copied, never edited): a list of plugin ids, or
null when the display service has not reported. The tab shows a Used by
column ("unknown" / "-" / ids, rendered as text) and deleting an in-use
font names the plugins in the confirmation, from a fresh read. The server
still refuses only system fonts. Catalog fetches bypass the browser's
5-second API cache, which otherwise served the pre-delete list.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 61e462c635 refactor: remove the skin system and the unused src/base_classes package (#615)
* refactor: remove the skin system

Skins never rendered with the current scoreboard plugins: the only hook was
SportsCore._render_game in src/base_classes, which no plugin builds on, so
the UI and store already treated them as unsupported. The owner decided on
2026-09-23 to remove them outright.

Removed src/skin_system/ (runtime, base class, fixtures), skins/,
scripts/validate_skin.py and their tests; the store's "type": "skin"
installer, uninstaller and hide/refuse filters (the official registry lists
no skins); SchemaManager.inject_skin_selector; and GET /api/v3/skins.

Stored skin/skin_options config values are handled in the next commit.

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

* fix(config): drop retired skin/skin_options keys instead of validating them

A config.json written while the skin system existed can carry skin and
skin_options in any plugin section, and most plugin schemas set
additionalProperties: false. They are no longer core plugin properties;
RETIRED_PLUGIN_KEYS in schema_manager lists them and
drop_retired_plugin_keys removes them (unless the plugin's own schema
declares the name) in prepare_plugin_config, which loading, hot reload,
GET /plugins/config and both web saves already share, and in
validate_config_against_schema for callers that validate a raw section.
POST /plugins/config and /config/main also drop them from the stored
section they merge into, so they leave config.json on the next save.

Tests cover the load path (real PluginManager.load_plugin: no schema
warning, not degraded), raw and prepared validation,
validate_all_plugin_configs, and the JSON, form and /config/main saves.

(docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md), and none of the third-party registry plugins
imports it. The one import anywhere, baseball-scoreboard's
rankings_manager.py, is a lazy import of ESPNDataSource in a class nothing
instantiates.

Removed the package and the eight test files that only tested it
(test_api_extractors, test_data_sources, test_sports_base_characterization,
test_sports_capabilities, test_sports_core_promotions,
test_sports_logo_cache_bounded, test_sports_modes_promotions,
test_sports_odds_fanout). test_common_is_hardware_free no longer lists
src.base_classes as a forbidden import, and comments in sports_helpers.py
and base_odds_manager.py stop pointing at it.

* docs: drop the skin system and src/base_classes from the docs

Deletes docs/SKIN_SYSTEM.md and docs/CREATING_SKINS.md and every link to
them (docs/README.md, README.md, PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md, the /skins
section of REST_API_REFERENCE.md), the skin section of CLAUDE.md and the
term in PRODUCT.md. SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md now says src/base_classes was
removed and shared code lives in src/common, in the Layering section and
the view-model-contract rule. Other docs stop pointing at the removed
package. CHANGELOG records both removals under Unreleased.

* fix(store): hide and refuse registry entries that aren't plugins

The skin filters went with the skin system, but a custom registry can still
list "type": "skin" entries, and installing one as a plugin would unpack it
into the plugins directory. PluginStoreManager.is_plugin_entry() (a missing
type means plugin) now hides non-plugin entries from the store and
custom-registry listings, and install refuses them, in the route with a
clear 400 and in _install_plugin_impl for any other caller.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 604f58ff07 feat: deprecate unused plugin-facing methods for removal in 3.7.0 (#610)
35 methods on CacheManager, DisplayManager, FontManager and PluginManager
have no caller in core, the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo or the registry's
third-party plugins, but plugins live elsewhere, so they stay for one
release. src.deprecation.deprecated logs a warning (and emits a
DeprecationWarning) the first time each is called in a process, naming the
release that removes it. The list and replacements are in CHANGELOG and
PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE's new Deprecated APIs section; a test pins the set.

* refactor(plugins): remove the no-op PluginHealthMonitor

Its monitor loop did nothing (`if callbacks: pass`), register_health_check
had no callers and api_v3.health_monitor was never read by any route. The
live health data comes from PluginHealthTracker, which is untouched.

* refactor(store): drop the never-set uninstall tombstones

Nothing in production called mark_recently_uninstalled, so the
reconciler's was_recently_uninstalled check was always False. The
persistent uninstall registry is what actually stops resurrection; the
reconciler test now exercises that gate instead.

* refactor(common): delete unused config/display/game helpers, utils and error_handler

Nothing in core, the web UI, scripts or the plugin monorepo imports
config_helper, display_helper, game_helper, utils or error_handler; only
their own tests did. The error_handler re-exports leave src.common's
__all__; APIHelper, TextHelper, ScrollHelper, LogoHelper and the adaptive
layout exports are unchanged.

* refactor(config): drop ConfigService's unused versioning and save API

ConfigVersion, get_version/get_version_history/get_version_config,
rollback, save_config, reload, get_plugin_config and the backward-compat
load_config/get_config_path/get_secrets_path had no callers. The display
controller only uses get_config, subscribe, unsubscribe and shutdown,
plus the file watcher. Change detection now compares against the
current checksum instead of the last history entry.

The subscriber tests asserted `callback.called or True`; they now
reload the way the watcher does and assert the notification.

* refactor(plugins): drop unread plugin state history and callbacks

plugin_state.PluginStateManager kept a bounded per-plugin transition
history that only get_state_history (tests only) read; get_state_info
reports a separate lifetime count, which stays. set_error_info and
record_display had no callers, and set_state_with_error's `error`
argument only fed the history.

The web-side state_manager.PluginStateManager loses
subscribe_to_state_changes, _notify_callbacks, set_plugin_error and
get_state_version, none of which had callers; with no subscribers the
old-state copy in update_plugin_state went with them.

* refactor(plugins): remove unused PluginManager methods and attribute guards

update_all_plugins was only called by a test (the display loop uses
run_scheduled_updates); get_plugin_health_metrics,
get_plugin_resource_metrics and get_plugin_state had no callers; and
plugin_modules was written but never read. plugin_directories is now
initialised in __init__, so the hasattr() guards around it go.

* refactor(plugins): remove unused executor, loader, store and package helpers

- PluginExecutor.execute_safe: no callers.
- PluginLoader._parse_semver: only its own tests; compatibility.parse_semver
  is the live copy and test_compatibility.py already covers it.
- PluginStoreManager.get_installed_plugin_info: no callers.
- PluginResourceMonitor._local: never read.
- src.plugin_system.get_store_manager and __api_version__: no importers in
  core, scripts or the plugin monorepo.

* fix(wifi): stop storing Wi-Fi passwords in wifi_config.json

WiFiManager appended every joined network's SSID and password, in
plaintext, to saved_networks in config/wifi_config.json, and nothing
(web UI, backup restore, scripts) ever read them back: NetworkManager
keeps its own credentials. The writes are gone, and loading the config
now drops any saved_networks key and rewrites the file, so passwords
already on disk are scrubbed.

Also removes _check_dnsmasq_conflict (never called) and _detect_trixie,
whose result only reached one log line, along with the
NM_CONNECTIONS_PATHS constant only it used.

* refactor(display): remove unreachable and unused DisplayController code

- _follower_rebuild_scroll_image: never called.
- mode_duration (never read) and last_mode_change (write-only).
- The `chosen_cap <= 0` branch: chosen_cap is either the minimum of
  caps already filtered to > 0 or DEFAULT_DYNAMIC_DURATION_CAP (180).
- The `max_duration < min_duration` branch directly after
  `max_duration = max(min_duration, max_duration)`.
- The circuit-breaker branch's `display_result = False` and
  `manager_to_display = None`: the first is overwritten a few lines
  later, the second is already None there.
- The bool-to-bool conversion of execute_display's result, which is
  always a bool.
- The `loaded_plugins` lookup in _update_modules: PluginManager has no
  such attribute, so it always fell through to `plugins`.

* refactor(vegas): remove unused config update, boundary finder and refresh

VegasModeConfig.update had no callers outside its own tests (the
coordinator rebuilds the config with from_config on a change);
geometry.find_item_boundary and StreamManager._refresh_plugin_content
had no callers at all.

* refactor(run): drop the debug block that pretended to import the plugin system

In debug mode run.py put src/plugin_system itself on sys.path and printed
"Plugin system import successful" without importing anything. Nothing
imports plugin_system modules by bare name, so the path entry did
nothing either.

* test: delete tests that test nothing

- test/plugins/test_{basketball_scoreboard,calendar,clock_simple,
  odds_ticker,soccer_scoreboard,text_display}.py skip everywhere the named
  plugins are not installed, including CI (LEDMATRIX_PLUGINS_DIR holds only
  the fixture plugin); test_plugin_matrix.py already covers every
  discovered plugin. Their PluginTestBase and the fixtures only it used
  (plugins_dir, mock_display_manager, mock_cache_manager,
  mock_plugin_manager, base_plugin_config in test/plugins/conftest.py) go
  with them.
- test_plugin_system.py: test_discover_plugins (body was `pass`) and
  test_dependency_check (a comment), plus the test_plugin_manager fixture
  only the former requested.
- test_display_manager.py: test_draw_image asserted that an image it had
  just assigned was not None.
- test_display_controller.py: the rotation and schedule-override tests
  re-implemented the run-loop arithmetic inline and asserted on their own
  result without calling the controller.

EveryStampRecordsACompletion required at least two success-path stamps;

the check that every stamp calls _note_update_completed is unchanged.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every documented request body, query parameter and response shape was
re-checked against the handlers in web_interface/blueprints/api_v3/.
Fixes calls that failed as documented (repo_url, action_id/params,
files/image_id, font_file+font_family, ?font=, cache key,
auto_enable_ap_mode, plugin limit keys), removes the font-override
endpoints dropped in #566, corrects response shapes (plugins/config,
plugins/schema, health, metrics, operation history, github-status,
fonts/catalog, cache/list, logs, wifi, on-demand, SSE streams), and adds
the 26 routes it omitted (backup, system auto-update/git, wifi radio,
starlark editor, MQTT bridge, status endpoints, skins).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* docs(store): search via /plugins/store/list?query=; send Content-Type on registry curls

/plugins/store/search does not exist (404) and the list endpoint reads
query, not q. The registry guide's curl examples omitted the JSON
Content-Type, so the handlers saw an empty body and answered 400.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- ADVANCED_FEATURES: StreamManager methods that exist
  (get_next_segment, take_next_group, refresh, advance_cycle, ...), and the
  real on-demand status envelope ({status, data: {state, service}})
- app.py:199 / :144 / :607-619 line citations and
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py (now a package) replaced with file and
  function names in ADVANCED_FEATURES, CONFIG_DEBUGGING,
  PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC, PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE,
  PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS, TROUBLESHOOTING and web_interface/README
- CONFIG_DEBUGGING: partial /config/main saves change only sent keys; use
  /config/raw/main to replace the file; describe where validation runs
- TROUBLESHOOTING: clear_cache.py needs --clear-all (no args only prints
  usage)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* docs(install): what install_service.sh installs; verify script port; no sudo for --help

install_service.sh installs and starts ledmatrix, ledmatrix-web and the
update-verify units, not only ledmatrix.service (systemd/README.md,
README.md). MIGRATION_GUIDE presented 'sudo install_service.sh --help'
as a harmless check; it now shows --help without sudo and warns what a
real run does. SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: verify_installation.sh
checks the web interface on port 5000.

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

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

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

Audit finding F18.

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

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

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

Audit findings F03, F16, F19, F21.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MULTI_ROOT_WORKSPACE_SETUP described one sibling repository per plugin;

plugin-repos/ and update_plugin_repos.py pulls only the monorepo, and the
workspace file opens LEDMatrix plus ../ledmatrix-plugins.

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

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

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

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

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

Plugin config was prepared differently depending on how it arrived:

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

then brought in the same mode the installer chmod had made locally, so
installer_chmod saw no mode change left to check. The updater was fine:
with the upstream commit at 100755 the --autostash carries the device's
chmod across. Verified under Linux (WSL, git 2.43): the old helper fails
exactly as CI did, the fixed one passes all 63 tests in the file.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 9616a5a054 fix(web): auto_update and other core settings are not orphaned plugins (#589)
v3.4.0 shows "Plugin Config Warning - In config but not installed:
auto_update. Reinstall via the Plugin Store, or remove these entries from
config.json." auto_update is the core weekly-update setting from #581.
Reconciliation treated every top-level dict not in its private
_SYSTEM_CONFIG_KEYS list as a plugin id, and #581 could not know to extend
that list.

- Move core top-level keys into src/core_config_keys.py (CORE_CONFIG_KEYS)
  and use it in reconciliation. Tests fail if a config.template.json key or
  a key written by the general-settings save is missing from it.
- A secrets-file key only counts as a non-plugin when no installed plugin
  has that id. Plugin secrets are namespaced by id, so installed plugins
  with secrets were reported as missing from config on every run.
- still_unresolved() drops "not on disk" findings whose id is no longer a
  plugin entry in config, so a stored verdict clears without a restart.
- A plugin whose id is a core key is skipped with a warning, and the fix
  never writes a plugin stub over or in place of a core setting.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 c200b5837d fix(plugins): normalize legacy boolean settings before schema validation (#588)
The news plugin's schema turned global.dynamic_duration from a boolean
into an {enabled, min_duration_seconds, ...} object. Installs that have
not saved the news settings since still hold `true`, so every start
logged "Plugin news config does not match its schema (loading anyway):
Field 'global.dynamic_duration': Expected type object, got bool" and
flagged news degraded.

The settings form already reads such a boolean as {"enabled": <bool>}
(render_nested_section in plugin_config.html) and the next save writes
the object. The loader did not. It now applies the same rule before
merging schema defaults and validating, so the defaults fill in the rest
of the object and the plugin receives it in the new shape.

The rule lives in schema_manager.legacy_bool_as_object /
normalize_legacy_booleans. It applies at any depth of nested objects
but not inside arrays, matching the form, and only to a real bool under
an object-typed property with an `enabled` child. Every other mismatch
still warns. A parity test renders the template macro against the helper
so the two cannot drift.

Nothing is written to config.json at load: the normalization is in
memory, and the next save of the plugin's settings persists the object.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 814c21de1c chore: mark skins unsupported, fix stale docs and preview size, prepare 3.4.0 (#580)
* chore: mark skins unsupported, fix stale docs and preview size, prepare 3.4.0

Skins: no current scoreboard plugin builds on src.base_classes, so the only
skin hook (SportsCore._render_game) never runs. The plugin schema endpoint no
longer injects the Visual Skin dropdown, the store hides and refuses
"type": "skin" registry entries, and GET /api/v3/skins reports
supported: false with a message. Stored skin config still loads and saves.
src/skin_system/ and its tests are unchanged apart from the support flag.

Docs: check_plugin.py/render_plugin.py examples use --plugin; document
BasePlugin.get_update_interval() and its interaction with the manifest
update_interval; CLAUDE.md drops the stale template line number and
recommends display_manager.width/height.

Preview size: new src/display_geometry.py holds the size computation and
defaults DisplayManager uses (double-sided applied, chain_length default 2).
The web preview, /display/current, Starlark magnify default, sync handshake
and two dev scripts use it.

Release: __version__ 3.4.0, CHANGELOG 3.4.0 section plus a 3.3.0 tag note.

* fix: address CodeRabbit review on #580

- Preview fallbacks (SSE stream and /display/current) use logical_size({})
  (128x32, the shared default) instead of a hard-coded 128x64.
- display_geometry treats a non-mapping display/hardware block as missing,
  so a malformed config.json falls back to defaults instead of raising
  AttributeError (which turned the Starlark render into an HTTP 500).
- Docs: the static update interval falls back manifest -> plugin config
  -> 60s, in both the API reference and the architecture spec.

Not taken: validating double_sided copies against chain_length/parallel.
An orientation Rotate: or U-mapper pixel mapper decides which axis panels
lie on, so the counts would reject working setups (the existing
vertical-split test is one).

* fix(display_geometry): a non-finite hardware size raises ValueError, not OverflowError

CodeRabbit flagged the Starlark magnify default in
_standalone_render_starlark_app for truthy non-mapping display values. That
case was already handled by a9e1bd0b (_display/_hardware treat a non-mapping
block as missing, covered by test_non_mapping_display_config_uses_the_defaults),
and the magnify it produces from the 128x32 defaults is the same as from 64x32.

Checking the same path found one input that still escaped: Python's JSON
parser accepts Infinity, and int(inf) raises OverflowError, which neither the
Starlark path (TypeError, ValueError) nor the preview stream in app.py caught,
so a hand-edited "rows": Infinity returned HTTP 500. physical_size now raises
ValueError for it, matching its documented contract, so every caller's
existing fallback applies. DisplayManager already caught Exception.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 69d408b321 feat(core): one per-element display-customization framework, wired into the web UI (#566)
* fix(sports): rebuild un-shared faces through the pinned layout engine

unshare_element_fonts re-instantiates a duplicate font face so two
elements can be told apart by id(). It did so through bare
ImageFont.truetype, which takes PIL's default layout engine rather than
the one src/common/font_layout.py pins. Raqm and Basic disagree on
fractional advances -- that disagreement is the reason the pin exists,
having broken golden images across machines -- so a rebuilt face could
measure differently from the shared face it replaced, on any host where
Raqm is installed.

These were the only two call sites in src/ bypassing the pin.

The guard asserts that the rebuild goes through the pinned loader rather
than comparing engine values: where Raqm is absent, bare truetype returns
BASIC anyway, so an engine comparison passes whether or not the pin is
honoured. The first draft of this test did exactly that and passed with
the bug reintroduced.

* refactor(web): drop the two dead client-side config-form renderers

generateConfigForm and generateSimpleConfigForm (580 lines) were defined
on the Alpine component and never called: server-side Jinja replaced them,
as pages_v3.py:641 records. Nothing in any template invokes them -- there
is no x-html in the templates and no bracket access on the component.

They carried their own x-widget dispatch, which made them an active trap:
the next person adding a widget would reasonably think both renderers
needed updating.

plugins/config_manager.js (PluginConfigManager, 133 lines) goes for the
same reason -- loaded on every page from base.html, referenced only by
itself and by an archived doc.

Kept, having checked them: widgets/example-color-picker.js is the worked
example docs/widget-guide.md points plugin authors at, and
widgets/plugin-loader.js is the client half of a documented feature
(manifest-declared plugin widgets) whose server route is missing --
soccer-scoreboard already ships a widgets/custom-leagues.js that this
loader is meant to fetch. That is an unfinished feature to complete, not
dead code to delete.

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

* feat(web): serve plugin-declared widgets, and actually ask for them

LEDMatrixWidgets.loadPluginWidget has always fetched
/static/plugin-widgets/<plugin>/<widget>.js, and docs/widget-guide.md has
always documented that path, but nothing served it. soccer-scoreboard has
shipped a 17KB widgets/custom-leagues.js since August that could never
load. Both halves were missing, not just the route:

- serve_plugin_widget serves the script from the plugin's widgets/
  directory as text/javascript. The manifest is the allowlist -- only a
  widget the plugin declares is reachable -- so installing a plugin does
  not publish everything it ships. Path handling mirrors the sibling
  serve_plugin_web_ui: allowlist regexes, os.path.basename, resolve() +
  relative_to() containment, and the ledmatrix- prefix fallback. The
  declared script name is guarded too, since it comes from the plugin
  rather than the request.

- The config form never requested one. Its x-widget dispatch is a
  hardcoded list of core widget names, so a plugin's own widget fell
  through to a plain text input. An unrecognised x-widget on a string
  field now asks ensureWidget() for it. The text input stays as the
  fallback and is removed only once the widget has actually rendered, so
  a missing or broken widget costs the user an editor rather than their
  configured value on the next save.

- manifest_schema.json gains "widgets", so the declaration is validated
  rather than merely tolerated by additionalProperties.

Verified in a browser against the real partial: a declared widget loads,
registers and renders, and its field posts exactly one value; a field
whose widget 404s keeps its text input and still posts its value.

Not addressed: loadPluginWidgetsFromManifest still has no caller. The
per-field ensureWidget path is lazier and is what the form now uses, so
that bulk helper is dead weight -- worth removing, but left alone here
rather than inventing a call site for it.

Known limitation, documented: only string-typed fields take this path.
object/array/boolean/number fields and enums are dispatched by the
template's own branches, which still only know core widgets.

* fix(element-style): a wrong-size BDF now keeps its font, not its size

BDF fonts are fixed-size bitmap strikes: FreeType accepts only the pixel
size baked into the file and raises for anything else. 32 of the 35
shipped fonts are BDF, so a size picked in the web UI usually is not a
valid strike -- and load_font caught that failure with its generic
"unloadable font" handler, which substitutes PressStart2P. Asking for
5x7.bdf at size 10 therefore rendered a completely different typeface,
silently.

It now falls back to the file's own native size instead, which is what
SportsCore._load_custom_font_from_element_config has always done. The
native size is read via FontManager._read_bdf_native_size rather than a
fourth copy of that parser, matching how core.py already delegates.

Also here, because they are the same code path:

- native_bdf_size() is exposed for the web UI, which needs to know when a
  size field can take effect at all. None means "free choice".
- ElementStyle.font_size now reports the size actually realised rather
  than the one requested. Callers lay out from it, and reserving space
  for a size nothing was drawn at is how this surfaces.
- The module font cache is a bounded LRU (256) instead of an unbounded
  dict. The display process runs for weeks and every config save can add
  a (font, size) pair; every other hot cache in the codebase is bounded
  this way.

Untouched configs are unaffected: the shipped classic fonts are the three
TTFs, so nothing was hitting the substitution path by default.

* feat(element-style): per-mode style and offset overrides

Lets one element be styled differently per situation -- a scoreboard's
live / upcoming / recent cards, weather's current / hourly / daily
screens -- under customization.modes.<mode>.

The mode is bound at construction rather than passed per call. That is
what makes this cheap to adopt: SportsUpcoming and SportsRecent are
already separate instances with distinct SKIN_MODE values, so binding
once makes every existing style()/offset_value() call site mode-aware
without editing any of them. A per-call mode argument exists for the rare
host that renders more than one mode.

The two layers answer different questions, deliberately:

- The base layer keeps the existing "differs from the schema default"
  rule, because the save flow writes the full default object into
  config.json whether or not the user touched it.
- A mode layer is pure override -- its fields default to None, so
  presence is intent. Nothing writes into it unasked, so there is nothing
  for the stricter rule to protect against.

None therefore means inherit, and has to stay distinct from 0: a mode
y_offset of 0 means "sit at the base position", not "no preference".
This is the same distinction scroll_card.switch_* draws with "inherit".

A malformed mode value falls back to the resolved base value rather than
to the caller's default -- caught by the degradation tests, which is what
they are for: resolving the mode first let one bad string in a mode block
silently discard a good base offset.

With no modes block, and for every existing caller, resolution is
unchanged.

* feat(element-style): declare per-mode overrides in config_schema.json

A plugin adds "x-style-modes": ["live", "upcoming", "recent"] alongside
its x-style-elements declaration and gets a customization.modes.<mode>
group per mode, with every field of every declared element repeated as an
override.

Those override fields are typed nullable and default to null, which is
the whole trick. The save flow writes schema defaults into config.json
wholesale, so giving a mode field the base element's default would make
every mode a frozen copy of the base the first time a user pressed Save,
and the base would stop reaching them. Null means inherit. The mutation
test for this is explicit: with concrete defaults, a base font_size of 14
resolves as 10 with user_forced set.

min/max from the declaration carry into the mode blocks, so an
out-of-range override is rejected by validation rather than clamped
silently at render time.

Also: the emitted font field now carries "x-widget": "font-selector". The
widget already shipped and the config form already allowlisted it -- the
hint was simply never emitted, so the field rendered as a bare text box
that the user had to type a font filename into.

Verified through the real SchemaManager path -- load_schema, defaults
extraction, merge_with_defaults, validation, then resolution -- rather
than against a hand-built dict, since the thing at risk is what that
pipeline does to a null.

* fix(web): render the config form from the schema the save route validates

The form read config_schema.json with a raw json.load while
api_v3.save_plugin_config went through SchemaManager. Those are not the
same schema: SchemaManager applies expand_style_elements, which turns a
compact customization.x-style-elements declaration into the per-element
blocks the form knows how to render.

Without it, that customization object has an x-style-elements key and no
"properties", so the template's object branch matched nothing and the
section rendered as empty space -- while saving still validated against
the expanded shape. of-the-day ships the compact form, so its
customization section has been invisible in the web UI.

pages_v3 gains a schema_manager the way it already has config_manager and
plugin_manager. use_cache=False matches the save route, so an edited
schema is not served stale during plugin development. The raw read stays
as a fallback for callers that register this blueprint without one.

Checked before making the change: load_schema does nothing here except
read, validate and expand -- inject_skin_selector is a separate method it
does not call -- so this is not a behaviour change for schemas without
the declaration.

The test pair renders the same compact schema with and without a
SchemaManager, so it documents exactly what was broken as well as what is
fixed.

* feat(web): style-editor widget -- a row per element instead of 65 accordions

Rendered element by element, a realistic scoreboard's customization block
is 65 nested sections, and reaching one per-mode font size takes five
levels of expanding. The widget collapses that to one compact row per
element -- font, size, colour, X, Y -- with a tab per declared mode.

It emits ordinary inputs under the same dotted names the generic renderer
would produce, so the save/validate/merge pipeline is untouched: no hidden
JSON blob and no new server-side parsing. It is driven entirely by the
schema block it is handed, so fields added to the schema later appear
without editing the widget. If it fails to load or throws, the generic
nested rendering it replaces is left in place.

Fixing two things the save path got wrong for nullable fields, found by
posting what the widget actually emits:

- The indexed-array recombiner (text_color.0/.1/.2 -> one list) compared
  the declared type to the string 'array', so a per-mode colour, typed
  ["array", "null"], was never reassembled and failed validation on save.
  _parse_form_value_with_schema had the same comparison.
- A blank nullable field became [] rather than None, which then failed the
  minItems the colour array declares. Null is the inherit sentinel, so it
  has to survive.

And two things the widget itself got wrong, found by looking at it:

- An unset base control fell back to the select's first option, so an
  untouched scoreboard claimed every element used 10x20.bdf -- and the
  size box then locked itself to that bitmap font's fixed size. Base
  controls now show the schema default; mode controls stay blank, because
  blank there means inherit.
- Elements arrived alphabetised (Detail and Odds above Score). Flask's
  JSON provider sorts keys, so declaration order has to be stated
  explicitly; expand_style_elements now emits x-propertyOrder, which the
  generic renderer already honoured too.

Size is disabled and shown as fixed for a bitmap font, using the
scalable/native_size the font catalog now reports.

* feat(element-style): visibility, alignment and scale per element

Completes the customization vocabulary: hide an element, align it, and
resize a logo, alongside the font/size/colour/offset that already existed.
All three per mode.

They resolve to "change nothing" until the user asks for something -- True,
None and 1.0 -- rather than to whatever the schema declares. That is the
same invariant the font fields keep: a caller that honours them still
renders an untouched config exactly as it did before they existed. A
schema default therefore does not count as a choice, which matters because
the save flow writes that default into config either way.

scale sits in the layout block with the offsets rather than in the element
block, because it is geometry: a logo has a scale and no font. The widget's
columns come from the schema, so a logo row shows visibility, offsets and
scale and no empty font cell.

Two bugs found by the tests rather than by reading:

- A nullable enum needs null in its enum list, not just in its type. The
  mode copy of `align` defaulted to null and then failed its own schema, so
  a plugin declaring any enum field with modes could not save at all. Six
  tests failed on this before any of them reached what they were testing.
- defaults_from_schema only ever extracted font/font_size/text_color, so
  the schema defaults for the new fields were invisible to the resolver and
  a declared default read as a user choice.

Widget: the table scrolls horizontally and pins the element-name column.
Nine columns do not fit the config panel, and clipping them hid the offsets
entirely while scrolling them made every row anonymous.

* feat(element-style): resolve elements under the names plugins actually use

Two naming conventions collided as the scoreboards grew. Counted across
the published schemas: the style block names elements with a _text suffix
(score_text, status_text, detail_text), while the layout block mostly uses
the bare noun (score, date, time, odds) -- except status_text, which kept
the suffix in seven plugins and lost it in two. records vs record splits
seven to two the same way.

A lookup now tries the exact name first and then the spellings that mean
the same thing. Exact-first is what makes this inert for any config that
already matches; the aliases only decide cases that resolved to nothing
before.

This is also what makes migrating to the compact declaration form safe.
That form uses one key for both blocks, so a scoreboard adopting it asks
for layout.score_text while its users have layout.score saved -- without
the aliases, every offset they had dialled in would silently become 0.

Applies to the style block, the layout block, the schema defaults and the
per-mode overrides, since the drift shows up in all four.

Not attempting to canonicalise on write: renaming keys in config.json
would break the plugins still reading the old spelling from their own
bundled code, and the drift costs a dict miss rather than correctness.

* feat(plugins): BasePlugin.styles -- per-element styling every plugin inherits

Adopting the element-style system meant repeating three things in every
plugin: a guarded import, finding its own config_schema.json, and
rebuilding the resolver when on_config_change swapped the config dict.
This is those three things once, on the class all 45 plugins already
inherit from.

    title = self.styles.style('title_text',
                              classic_font='PressStart2P-Regular.ttf',
                              classic_size=8, classic_color=(255, 255, 255))

The classic_* arguments are the adoption contract: with nothing configured
they come back verbatim, so a plugin that switches to this renders exactly
as before until a user changes something.

A plugin with one instance per display mode sets STYLE_MODE on the class
and every existing lookup becomes mode-aware without a call site changing
-- which is the point of binding the mode to the resolver rather than
passing it per call. styles_for() covers a plugin that renders several
modes from one instance.

Schema discovery reads the concrete class's own module rather than this
file, because this file lives in src/plugin_system where no plugin schema
exists -- the same trap SportsCore._config_schema_path documents. The
first mutation test for that passed anyway: an installed plugin's module
directory and its entry under plugins_dir are the same path, so the test
could not tell the two apart. The case where they diverge is a plugin
symlinked in for development, and the test now forces that shape.

Getting discovery wrong is silent rather than loud: with no schema the
resolver has no defaults to compare against, so every configured value
reads as a deliberate override and the plugin quietly stops honouring its
own shipped styling.

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

* feat(element-style): adopt hand-written customization blocks, and widen the font list

Nineteen plugins spell their style elements out longhand instead of
declaring them -- football's block is 701 lines for seven elements -- and
predate this system entirely. Core now recognises that shape, so they pick
up the row-per-element editor and the real font picker on a core update
rather than on a plugin release. Checked against every published schema:
21 plugins adopt, and the defaults of each still validate against the
schema generated for it.

Detection requires *every* field in a block to be one this system
understands. A looser "has at least one style field" rule sweeps in
baseball's `count`, which carries a text_color beside geometry that means
nothing here. That distinction took three attempts to test: the first two
assertions passed under both rules, because an over-eager rule leaves a
fontless block looking untouched and only surfaces as an extra row in the
editor.

The hardcoded font enum is replaced rather than extended. Football lists
five of the thirty-five installed fonts, which is why a font a user
uploads can never appear in one. It is not a curated safe set -- it omits
some twenty other faces that fit the declared size cap just as well -- it
is the fonts that happened to exist when it was written.

Widening it does need a guard, though, and not the one the schema already
has: a bitmap font ignores font_size and renders at its size baked into
the file, so `maximum: 16` cannot stop a 27px face. The picker now filters
out fixed-size fonts taller than the element's own declared ceiling, which
drops exactly the four that would overflow a 32px panel and keeps the
other thirty.

Per-mode overrides stay opt-in: core cannot invent a plugin's display
modes, so `x-style-modes` remains the one line that unlocks them. Their
layout half covers every positionable element rather than only those with
a style block -- the two namespaces do not line up in a hand-written
schema, and football positions six things (logos, timeouts, possession)
that have no style block at all.

* refactor(web): remove the two Fonts-tab panels that reported invented data

"Element Font Overrides" let a user configure an override, showed a
success toast, and changed nothing. All three endpoints behind it were
stubs -- GET returned a hardcoded {}, POST and DELETE returned success
without calling anything -- each marked "This would integrate with the
actual font system".

Wiring them to FontManager would not have fixed it. The machinery there is
real (_load_overrides/_save_overrides persist config/font_overrides.json,
resolve_font applies them, and the countdown plugin genuinely consumes
it), but the panel's element dropdown offered eleven invented keys --
nfl.live.score, clock.time, weather.current -- that no plugin has ever
read. An override saved against one of those would have persisted
correctly and still done nothing.

"Detected Manager Fonts" goes for the same reason. It claimed to show
"fonts currently in use by managers (auto-detected)"; its own comment said
"we'll simulate this", and it listed every font in the catalog with a
hardcoded usage_count of 1 -- the panel beside it, with fabricated
numbers attached.

Per-element font choice now lives in each plugin's own config editor,
against the elements that plugin actually has, and covers size, colour,
offsets, visibility, alignment and scale rather than family and size.

Kept: the font library (upload, preview, delete), which works, and
/fonts/tokens, which is a stub but genuinely feeds the preview's size
dropdown. FontManager's override methods are untouched -- countdown uses
them.

Verified in a browser with the tab's JS running: no console errors, 35
fonts listed, upload and preview intact. Removing the panel meant unwiring
it from populateFontSelects too, which would otherwise have bailed out
early on the missing select and left the preview dropdown empty.

* refactor(sports): one reader for element colours and layout offsets

There were two copies of the per-element colour read and three of the
layout-offset read. They had already drifted -- the scroll-card renderer
carries a comment about having ignored offsets its own schema advertised
-- and each new capability had to be added to all of them or silently work
in some places and not others.

All of them now go through src.element_style, which is what carries the
alias handling and the per-mode lookup. That lands immediately for the
nine plugins importing these modules: a scoreboard asking for `score_text`
offsets finds the `layout.score` its users configured, and a Live instance
resolves its own colours through SKIN_MODE without any call site passing a
mode.

_normalize_color learned "#RRGGBB" in the process. The scoreboards' own
readers have always accepted it, so the shared one had to, or consolidating
would have quietly dropped a form users' configs may hold. _coerce_offset
picked up the non-finite guard the scroll-card reader had and the other two
did not.

_get_layout_offset is promoted onto SportsCoreSharedMixin. Each plugin
still carries its own copy in its bundled sports.py, which wins by MRO --
so adopting this is a deletion in the plugin, and until that deletion
nothing changes for it.

Note for whoever runs the suite next: test_display_dirty_tracking.py is
order-dependent. Fifteen of its tests failed in one full run and passed in
the next with no change in between, and pass in isolation. Pre-existing,
unrelated to this, but it makes a full-run diff untrustworthy until it is
fixed.

* docs(changelog): record the element-style work under Unreleased

This file's own preamble asks for it: a plugin may delete its bundled
fallback copy of a core module only when its manifest floors on the first
release that shipped that module, which requires the additions to be
recorded here against a version.

Names a plugin can now import and floor on -- the stateless layout_offset
and element_color readers, alias_keys, native_bdf_size, the resolver's mode
binding, BasePlugin.styles, and the promoted
SportsCoreSharedMixin._get_layout_offset -- plus the schema and web-UI
changes, the four fixes and the three removals.

* fix(fonts): log the BDF native-size read failure instead of swallowing it

The bdf-native-size lookup in get_fonts_catalog() caught any exception
and silently discarded it. Every other guarded read added in this PR
(the manifest parse in _declared_widget_script, the SchemaManager
fallback in _load_plugin_config_partial) logs before falling through
to the same degraded behavior. This one didn't, which is the shape a
silent-exception-swallow lint rule flags. Behavior is unchanged --
native_size still comes back None -- but a corrupt or unreadable BDF
file now leaves a trace.

Verified: font-related tests (140) and the full suite still pass,
with only the 2 pre-existing Europe/Kiev/Asia/Calcutta tzdata-alias
failures already present on origin/main.

* fix: address CodeRabbit findings on the style-editor/font-selector PR

- Fix _load_font_sized double-wrapping the (font, size) tuple on the
  missing-font path, which handed callers a tuple instead of a font.
- Fix _set_nested_value skipping an explicit None when the key already
  existed, which silently kept stale overrides when a user cleared a
  nullable per-mode field or blanked all channels of an indexed color.
- Preserve BDF scalable/native_size metadata through fetchFontCatalog's
  catalog-format mapping so maxFixedSize filtering actually applies.
- Stop caching an empty array on a failed font-catalog fetch so a later
  call can retry instead of being stuck with the failed result.
- Keep a saved font selected in the style editor even when it no longer
  fits a newly declared maxFixedSize, instead of silently deselecting it.
- Don't drop in-progress user edits to fallback fields when a plugin
  widget finishes loading asynchronously and takes over the form.
- Tighten the removed font-override endpoint test to assert 405, not
  just != 200.

* fix(web): a partial save no longer switches off checkboxes it never showed

An HTML checkbox posts nothing when unchecked, so the save route walked the
schema and forced every boolean missing from the form to False. That is right
for the rendered form and wrong for every other caller: a script, the MQTT
bridge or a curl against the documented endpoint never rendered a checkbox, and
reading its silence as "all off" turns a one-field save into a mass disable.

Found on hardware. Posting four customization.* keys to a live device switched
off nfl.enabled, ncaa_fb.enabled and every display-mode toggle in one request.

The form now reports the top-level sections it drew (__rendered_section), and
inside those an absent checkbox still means unchecked -- including a section
whose only fields are checkboxes that are all off, which no heuristic could
recover. A post with no marker only touches objects it actually posted a field
from. Meta fields are dropped before form keys are treated as config paths,
because unknown keys are otherwise written straight into config.json.

* feat(sports): resolve element colour by name, and honour visible/align/scale

Two of the three gaps this framework shipped with.

Colour by name. A draw resolved its colour by comparing the *identity* of the
font object it was handed, which cannot tell two elements apart when they share
a face -- so those draws went out white. Every bitmap font is in that case,
because a freetype.Face cannot be re-instantiated to un-share it, which is how
an element rendered in any of the 32 shipped BDF fonts silently lost a colour
its picker had offered all along. _draw_text_with_outline now takes
element="score_text" and reads the colour by name; the identity path remains
for un-annotated callers, but narrows before giving up -- one configured colour
among the sharers is the only thing the user can have meant.

Visible, align and scale. The resolver has understood these since the
framework landed and nothing consumed them: an element could be marked hidden
in the web UI and still render. Adds the stateless readers, the mixin
accessors, and a scale parameter on the one shared logo-sizing seam (keyed into
the cache, so two elements scaled differently cannot be served each other's
image). Naming an element in a draw also honours its visibility.

Untouched configs are unaffected: every new parameter defaults to today's
behaviour, and all ten affected plugins render pixel-identically to main across
every harness size.

* docs(plugins): how to declare styleable elements; harden the widget's lookups

The plugin-author guide for the compact x-style-elements declaration -- what
each key does, how to read values back without breaking the "user-forced only
when it differs from the default" rule, and why a hand-written block needs no
changes to be adopted.

Also clears the static-analysis findings on style-editor.js. Every lookup in
that file is keyed by something out of a schema or a saved config, so a key of
__proto__ or constructor would walk the prototype chain and hand back a
function instead of a schema; reads now go through an own-property helper. The
panel registry became a list, and the flagged vars moved to their function
roots.

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

* fix(web): clear the remaining static-analysis findings

Five, all on lines this branch touched.

The Python one is not a new defect: _set_missing_booleans_to_false's first
parameter was always named `config`, which shadows the `config` submodule
imported for its side effects at the bottom of this module. Editing the
signature simply put the existing warning on a changed line. The parameter is
the plugin's config dict, so `plugin_config` is what it should have been called
anyway; callers pass it positionally and are unaffected.

The JavaScript ones are the object-injection rule firing on reads keyed by
data. own() now goes through a property descriptor, so the one unavoidable
data-keyed read is no longer a computed member access; at() consumes its path
instead of indexing it; and the column set is a Map, which has no prototype to
pollute and needs no guarded reads at all.

Verified the widget still renders identically against football's real schema:
29 element rows, all four mode tabs, values populated, no console errors.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 92ac231138 fix(fonts): load 4x6 on its pixel grid, from any working directory (#565)
* fix(fonts): load 4x6 on its pixel grid, from any working directory

`extra_small_font` loaded 4x6-font.ttf at 6, off the face's 7px grid.
Under `draw.fontmode = "1"` the mono rasteriser thresholds each glyph at
50% coverage, so every glyph lost its fourth column and deformed:
christmas-countdown rendered "UNTIL" as "VM1JL". The advance is 5px at
both sizes, so snapping to 7 reflows nothing.

- Sizes in DisplayManager._load_fonts go through crisp_size() instead of
  literals. crisp_size / FONT_PIXEL_GRID / FONT_NAME_ALIASES move to
  src/common/font_layout.py; sports_card re-exports them.
- Mirror the fix in VisualTestDisplayManager, the harness's fork of
  _load_fonts. Without it every golden is blessed at the old size.
- Resolve bundled font paths against the install root, not the cwd.
  FontManager._resolve_asset_path now delegates to
  font_layout.resolve_asset_path (kept by name; plugins probe for it).
- The startup banner's middle rung snaps to 7; the 5 rung stays off-grid
  on purpose (the only size that fits a dotted quad on 64px).
- loading.py reads all plugin JSON as UTF-8 (cp1252 on Windows aborted
  check_plugin.py on a 0x9d byte).
- check_plugin.py reports in ASCII and never dies on an unencodable char.

* fix(fonts): resolve relative asset paths from the install root, not the cwd

resolve_asset_path checked os.path.exists(relative_path) unconditionally,
so a relative asset path was still resolved against the process cwd first
-- exactly the dependency this module exists to remove. An unrelated
working directory that happens to contain assets/fonts/4x6-font.ttf (a
stale checkout, a copied assets folder, another project) would shadow the
real bundled font instead of the install root ever being consulted.

Only an absolute path is now returned as-is; a relative path always
resolves against _INSTALL_ROOT first, matching the docstring's stated
contract. FontManager._resolve_asset_path delegates to this function, so
it's covered by the same fix.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 39f27d285d fix(plugins): stop reconciliation inventing plugins and telling users to delete real config (#557)
On a device running four installed, configured, working plugins, the overview
banner read:

  Stale plugin config entries found: football-scoreboard, odds-ticker, data,
  ledmatrix-weather, starlark-apps. Remove them from config.json or reinstall
  via the Plugin Store.

Every claim in that sentence was wrong, and following its advice would have
deleted 4.9KB of working league settings. Four separate defects combined.

1. Secrets keys became phantom plugins. load_config() merges
   config_secrets.json into the config it returns, and the ignore list named
   only 'github' and 'youtube'. A 'data' key in that file therefore read as a
   plugin id and was reported as "in config but not on disk" forever. Read the
   secrets file's own top-level keys instead of hardcoding two of them.

2. The auto-fix clobbered real config. The handler for "on disk but not in
   config" assigned `config[plugin_id] = {'enabled': False}` unconditionally,
   so whenever detection was wrong it replaced a plugin's entire configuration
   with a stub. On the reported device it only failed to do so because the
   write hit EACCES. Now it refuses to overwrite an entry that already exists.

3. The banner gave backwards advice. plugin_missing_in_config ("on disk, not in
   config") and plugin_missing_on_disk ("in config, not on disk") are opposite
   problems, and both were rendered as "stale config entries ... remove them
   from config.json" -- which is correct for the second and destructive for the
   first. They are now reported separately, each with the advice that fits.

4. A stale verdict was served indefinitely. The result is a snapshot written
   once per run to a status file, and a run that fails to apply a fix also
   declares it will not retry. A condition that had since resolved kept being
   reported for hours. The status endpoint now re-checks stored findings
   against current state, dropping only what it can prove stale and keeping
   any kind it cannot re-verify.

The secrets-key lookup is deliberately fail-safe: an unreadable, absent,
malformed or non-path secrets location narrows the ignore set rather than
raising. An earlier revision let TypeError escape, which the broad handler in
_get_config_state() swallowed as "Error reading config state" -- emptying the
config state and making every downstream detection wrong. The existing
reconciliation tests caught it; there is now a regression test for it too.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 577f5501a6 perf(plugins): stop re-deriving a display() signature the caller already cached (#549)
display_controller resolves once, and caches, whether a plugin's display()
takes a display_mode keyword -- self._plugin_accepts_display_mode, populated
right before the dispatch. It then handed the executor a
types.SimpleNamespace wrapping a closure, and execute_display() ran
inspect.signature() on that to work out the same thing.

Because the SimpleNamespace is rebuilt per call, the callable was new every
time, so nothing inside the executor could ever cache it either. Measured at
~39us per dispatch on a Pi 4, for a value the caller had a line earlier.

execute_display() now takes accepts_display_mode, falling back to inspecting
only when a caller does not pass it, so existing callers are unaffected.

Also documents two things that read as bugs and are not:

- execute_with_timeout()'s timeout is advisory. Nothing cancels the thread --
  Python cannot -- so on expiry the operation runs to completion in the
  background and only the caller gives up. A permanently hung plugin leaks a
  daemon thread per attempt. This is why callers holding a lock across the
  call must release it from inside the wrapped callable, as run()'s
  _release_display_lock already does.

- Only the first display() of each mode goes through the executor; the
  per-frame loops call display() directly. That is deliberate: a thread per
  frame would cost more than an advisory timeout buys. Both loops now say so,
  so the asymmetry does not read as an oversight.

ChuckandClaude Sonnet 5 fb3b293ace fix(plugins): let a plugin ask to be polled faster while it has live content (#555)
* fix(plugins): let a plugin ask to be polled faster while it has live content

Reported: "the football plugin with live games only updates the live game in
progress if I restart the display."

The data path was never the problem. NFLLiveManager fetches ESPN with no cache,
SportsLive.update() refreshes current_game in place when the game IDs are
unchanged, and the scorebug redraws from the game dict every frame -- which is
why the reporter's logs look healthy.

The problem is cadence. _get_plugin_update_interval() read only the manifest's
static update_interval, football's manifest pins that to 60, and the plugin's
own live_update_interval (15s) was invisible to the scheduler. Measured on a rig
during the fourth quarter of the game in the report:

    23:21:49  23:22:50  23:23:50  23:24:50  23:25:50   <- exactly 60s apart

A clock and score up to a minute stale during a two-minute drill reads as a
frozen panel, and a restart is the one moment it is ever current.

A single static number cannot say "every 15 seconds while a game is on, every 15
minutes in July", and only the plugin knows which is true. get_update_interval()
lets it say so per tick; returning None means "no opinion" and the existing
manifest/config resolution applies, so every plugin that predates this is
unaffected.

Requests are clamped to MIN_DYNAMIC_UPDATE_INTERVAL (5s): a plugin returning 0
would otherwise be re-entered on every tick of the render loop, busy-waiting
against its own API. A hook that raises or returns a non-number is ignored
rather than propagated -- a scheduler that fails on one plugin's bug stops
updating all the others.

Deliberately NOT changed: the manifest still beats config in the static path.
That looked like the obvious fix -- user config being silently ignored -- until
checking a real rig, where football and baseball both carry update_interval 3600
in config against a manifest 60, and weather 1800 against 60. Those values are
stale precisely because nothing has been honouring them; making config win would
have slowed three plugins by 60x, turning a one-minute lag into an hour. The
dynamic hook makes the flip unnecessary. There is a test pinning the current
precedence with that reasoning attached.

Full suite: 4,283 passed, 68 skipped.

* test(plugins): drive the real scheduler, not just the interval resolver

test_plugin_dynamic_update_interval.py asserts that
_get_plugin_update_interval() returns the number the plugin asked for. That is
not the same claim as "the plugin gets updated more often", and the gap between
those two is exactly where the original bug lived: the plugin knew it wanted
15s, said so in live_update_interval, and nothing downstream acted on it.

So this ticks the real run_scheduled_updates() through a simulated hour and
counts dispatches. Against pre-fix core it reports "10 updates in 10 minutes of
a live game" -- the 60s manifest cadence, matching what was measured on a rig
during the reported game. Against the fix it reports ~40.

Also pins the regression that would be worse than the bug: an idle hour must
still be ~60 updates, not 240. Asking for the live interval year-round would
poll ESPN four times a minute all summer.

Scope note, since it is easy to over-read this fix: the *switch* display path
already refreshed the manager immediately before drawing, via
_try_manager_display() -> _ensure_manager_updated(), which honours the manager's
own 15s interval. So a switch-mode card was already <=15s stale at draw time
before this change. What this fixes is the background cadence, which is what
live-priority detection, Vegas content and scroll preparation all read.

Full suite: 4,288 passed, 68 skipped.

* fix(plugins): reject bool and -inf hook results in dynamic interval

get_update_interval() ran bool through float() (bool is an int subclass,
so True/False became 1.0/0.0) and only checked for +inf, not -inf. Both
cases landed on the MIN_DYNAMIC_UPDATE_INTERVAL floor by coincidence
instead of falling back to the static/manifest interval as invalid
input should.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 968b953a51 fix(display): pin one text layout engine, and give the 5x7 BDF face a size (#539)
* fix(display): pin one text layout engine, and give the 5x7 face a size

Two ways a font could render differently on two machines running the same
code, both found while diagnosing four plugins whose golden images passed on
the machine that generated them and failed everywhere else.

**Layout engine.** `ImageFont.truetype` picks its engine at load time: Raqm
where the host Pillow was built with libraqm, Basic otherwise. The two round
fractional glyph advances differently. `PressStart2P-Regular.ttf` at 8px has
whole-pixel advances, so they agree — which is why most of the fleet matched
everywhere and hid this. `4x6-font.ttf` at 6px does not: glyph positions drift
cumulatively along a run, and the four plugins that draw body text in it
(geochron, of-the-day, christmas-countdown, ledmatrix-weather's almanac) are
exactly the four whose goldens travelled badly.

Every core font load now goes through `src/common/font_layout.load_truetype`,
which pins the Basic engine, so a render depends on the font file and the size
and nothing else. Basic gives up complex-script shaping and kerning pairs;
neither applies to bitmap-grid faces on an LED panel. Output is unchanged on a
host without libraqm.

**Zero font height.** `DisplayManager` built the 5x7 BDF face with
`freetype.Face(path)` and never called `set_char_size`, so `face.size.height`
stayed 0 and `get_font_height()` returned 0 for it — callers stacking rows by
`prev_y + prev_height + gap` drew two lines on top of each other. The
start-up line `Calendar font size: 0 pixels` has been printing the symptom all
along. `font_manager._load_bdf_font` already called `set_char_size`, so
whether measurement worked depended on which path loaded the face.

`DisplayManager` now sets it too, and `get_font_height()` falls back to the
strike the file declares rather than returning a zero line height.

* fix(display): give the startup banner a rung that fits a full address at 64px

CI caught what pinning the layout engine exposed rather than caused.
`_fitting_font` walks PressStart2P then 4x6 at 6px, and "255.255.255.255" --
the widest thing the startup banner ever shows -- measures 66px at 4x6/6px
against the 62 a 64x32 panel has to give. It used to squeak in only because
the measurement depended on which layout engine the host Pillow happened to
have; with the engine pinned it does not, so the rung the worst case actually
needs is now in the ladder instead of implied: 4x6 at 5px, which measures 51.

The fallback was wrong in the same place. When nothing in the ladder fit, it
returned `self.font` -- the *widest* option, and precisely how "Initializing"
came to run off the side of a 64px panel to begin with. It returns the
narrowest face that loaded now.

test/test_initializing_screen.py: 34 passed.

* fix(display): name the exceptions the BDF strike read can raise

Codacy flagged the try/except/pass. It was already narrow in intent -- a
malformed strike table on the measurement path must degrade to "size unknown"
rather than take the display down -- but a bare `except Exception: pass` says
neither of those things and hides a genuinely broken font behind a silent 8px
fallback. It now catches what reading `available_sizes` can actually raise and
logs which face failed.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 c9289e3a1d fix(store): update_plugin silently did nothing for four installed plugins (#536)
install_plugin() deliberately renames a plugin's directory to the MANIFEST id
when it differs from the REGISTRY id, so registry `stocks` lands in
`ledmatrix-stocks/`. Every lookup in _find_plugin_path() is by directory name,
so update_plugin("stocks") found nothing, logged "Plugin not installed", and
returned False.

Nothing surfaced that to the user. Clicking update in the web UI was a no-op
with no error, and the plugin stayed on a stale version indefinitely. Four
installed plugins hit this on a real device -- leaderboard, music, stocks and
weather -- found because a scripted update of eleven plugins failed on exactly
those four.

Adds a manifest-id scan as the LAST step of the resolution chain, so the two
documented lookups above it (configured dir, then the sibling plugins/
fallback) keep their exact meaning and ordering. That ordering is pinned by
test_discovery_path_contract.py, which characterises the divergence between
the three resolvers on purpose; this extends the chain rather than reordering
it. Directories renamed aside with '.standalone-backup-' during an install or
rollback are skipped, since matching one would report a half-finished install
as a live plugin.

Also adds scripts/audit_render_path.py, which walks the call graph from
display() and reports blocking calls reachable from it. display() runs on the
render thread, so anything slow there stalls the panel; on a vsync-paced loop
a single 15ms call drops a frame and a network round trip freezes the marquee.
Two instances were already found the slow way, by reading frame-time
histograms -- odds-ticker reading the scoreboard cache per frame, and
soccer-scoreboard timing out inside update(). The audit finds that shape in
the source instead. It is a heuristic and says so: a hit behind an interval
check may be fine.

It currently flags 23 calls across six plugins. The clearest is
ledmatrix-music, whose display() falls back to an inline
requests.get(timeout=5) when album art has not been prefetched -- a deliberate
"show the art rather than go blank" tradeoff by its author, but up to five
seconds of frozen panel. Reported, not changed; that is its owner's call.

185 store tests pass. Three of the six new tests fail without the fix.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 d12323e7f1 perf(scroll): pace frames to the panel — 44→100 fps, stalls 14% → 0.02% (#523)
* perf(scroll): pace frames to the panel, not to a fixed sleep

Scrolling ran at 44-46 fps on a 2x128x64 chain and 14-17% of frames took
41-53ms, which reads as judder. Four independent causes, each measured on
the hardware; details and the diagnostic recipe are in
docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md.

The high-FPS loop slept a flat 8ms after every render. display() has
already blocked on the panel's vsync by then, so that sleep was added to a
wait that had happened: ~4ms of render plus 8ms put each iteration at ~12ms
against a 10ms refresh grid, so every swap missed a refresh and the loop
settled at 50fps while asking for 125 -- with no headroom, so a further
14% of frames slipped again. It now sleeps only the remainder, with a 1ms
floor so plugin threads still get the GIL.

ScrollHelper stepped position on a wall clock at 1/scroll_delay steps per
second. Plugins set scroll_delay to the frame period, so that comparison
sat exactly on its own threshold: a frame arriving a hair early moved zero
pixels and rendered an identical frame, dirty-tracking skipped the swap, it
returned in ~2ms, and the beat repeated. No scroll_delay value tunes that
out -- a shorter delay trades stalled frames for periodic double-steps.
Both modes now accumulate elapsed time at the same configured speed, so
position stays proportional to real time.

Sub-pixel blending goes back to off by default. It renders a half-step by
mixing two adjacent columns, which on a coarse panel showing pixel-font
text alternates crisp and smeared frames and reads as shimmer -- visibly
worse than integer stepping on the hardware. Vegas mode still opts in.

disk_cache uses orjson when importable, falling back to the stdlib. Encoding
a ~1MB record drops from 14.8ms to 5.4ms end-to-end, and that work holds the
GIL while a marquee is on screen. display_manager also checksummed the whole
framebuffer twice per frame (dirty tracking, then the preview snapshot); the
snapshot now takes the checksum the caller already computed.

New src/common/scroll_config.py resolves scroll settings in one place. Five
ticker plugins each hand-rolled this and disagreed: odds-ticker ranked the
deprecated scroll_pixels_per_second above the documented scroll_speed/delay
pair, and because that key carries a schema default the documented settings
were dead for every user (ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins#408), while
ledmatrix-leaderboard read the same key only as a fallback. The resolver also
warns when a speed will not advance a whole number of pixels per refresh,
which is the property that actually determines whether a scroll looks smooth.

scripts/build_rgbmatrix_nogil.sh rebuilds the rgbmatrix binding so it
releases the GIL. Upstream declares SwapOnVSync without nogil, unlike
SetPixel/Clear/Fill beside it, so the render thread held the GIL for the
whole vsync wait and starved background threads into long uninterruptible
bursts. The script patches, builds and self-verifies into a scratch tree;
--install backs up the original and rolls back if the service does not come
back healthy.

Measured after: 100 fps locked, no stalls observed, render thread down from
51% to 19% of one core.

* fix(display): keep the panel swap locked to vsync while scrolling

Dirty tracking skipped SwapOnVSync for byte-identical frames. That is the
right call for static content, but SwapOnVSync is also what paces the render
loop, so skipping it skips the wait for the panel: a duplicate frame returns
in ~8ms instead of ~10ms on a 100Hz panel, advances the strip only 0.8px
instead of 1.0px, and so makes the next frame more likely to repeat as well.
The effect sustains itself once it starts.

Measured over 20 minutes on a 2x128x64 chain, both scrollers configured
identically at 100 px/s:

    leaderboard   10ms x35, 11ms x3            (clean)
    odds-ticker   10ms x26, 8ms x7, 15ms x5    (~20% duplicates mid-scroll)

The duplicates were not end-of-cycle idling -- 38% of fast frames fell within
90s of a scroll completion against 35% of normal frames, a null result. The
trigger is per-frame work: odds does more of it, and more variably, so it is
first to land a frame that advances less than a whole pixel.

Pushing an identical frame costs one canvas copy. Falling out of vsync lock
costs smooth motion. Static content is untouched, because
is_currently_scrolling() expires on its own inactivity threshold -- covered
by test_stale_scrolling_state_stops_forcing_pushes so a plugin that stops
scrolling without saying so cannot pin the panel into always-push.

Also de-flakes test_snapshot_still_written_on_skip, which asserted a strict
mtime increase between two writes that can land in the same filesystem tick;
it failed about two runs in three on Windows regardless of the code under
test. The file is now backdated before the check.

156 tests pass on the Pi. Not yet confirmed by eye on the panel.

* fix(scroll): report the frame-time tail, and stop the row-major blit

Two problems, both found by looking at the panel rather than the metric.

The frame-stats line reported ONE instantaneous frame every 5 seconds --
about 1 frame in 500 -- printed beside a 100-frame average. Both hide exactly
the fault they are used to chase: a 2ms duplicate and a 21ms double-wait
average to precisely 10ms, so a ticker stalling on half its frames still
reports a healthy "Avg FPS: 100.0". That reading cost several rounds of
chasing the wrong layer. The line now aggregates every frame since the last
log and reports median, p95, max, min, and explicit stall and skip rates
(past 1.5x the median missed a refresh; under half never reached the panel,
because dirty tracking skipped the swap so the frame never waited on vsync).

On the hardware this now reads:

    leaderboard  100.0 fps over 501 frames | median 10.00ms p95 10.05ms
                 max 10.34ms | stalls 0 (0.0%) skips 0 (0.0%)

The binding rebuild's blit patch becomes opt-in (RGB_PATCH_BLIT=1, default
off). Reordering that loop to row-major changes what a torn frame looks like:
column-major tearing shows as a vertical seam, row-major as a horizontal split
between the panel's upper and lower halves. On a 1/32 scan panel that reads as
a one-pixel fold across the middle of every panel, which is what was reported
on hardware and what went away when the blit was reverted. All of the measured
gain comes from the SwapOnVSync change, so the risky half is simply not worth
taking; the header says so.

Also fixes --install resolving its paths against $HOME, which is /root under
sudo, so it looked in /root/rgbmatrix-nogil-build and died with "no built
module found" on a machine where the build had just succeeded. It now resolves
SUDO_USER's home. Both build paths are verified on the Pi: default yields one
GIL-release site, RGB_PATCH_BLIT=1 yields two.

* feat(scroll): let users pick a crisp speed for their own panel

Whole-pixel motion was previously only available at multiples of the refresh
rate -- 100, 200, 300 px/s on a 100Hz panel. 100 px/s crosses a 256px panel in
2.6s, which is brisk for reading, and everything slower had to blend (blur) or
repeat frames unevenly (judder). There was no way to ask for 50 px/s and get
clean motion.

SwapOnVSync takes a framerate_fraction the display manager never passed. It
holds each frame for N panel refreshes; the panel keeps refreshing at its full
rate throughout, so holding costs nothing in flicker and only changes how often
a NEW image is presented. That turns 50 px/s into one whole pixel every second
refresh instead of half a pixel every refresh.

The crisp speeds are therefore refresh_hz / hold * pixels_per_frame, and that
ladder depends on the panel: a Pi Zero on a long chain has a different set of
good speeds from a Pi 4 on a short one. crisp_ladder() enumerates them and
solve_crisp() picks the best match for a requested speed.

solve_crisp weights motion quality rather than picking the numerically nearest
entry, which matters more than it sounds. Asked for 30 px/s, nearest-by-value
answers 28.6 -- 2px jumps at 14fps -- over 33.3, which is single-pixel motion
at 33fps and obviously better on the panel. The target is also clamped into the
ladder's range first, because relative error saturates near 1.0 for a target
far outside it and the quality penalty would otherwise answer "10000 px/s" with
the slowest entry.

configure() snaps to the ladder and applies the hold when given a display
manager. Without one the hold silently cannot happen and motion falls back to
fractional pixels, so it warns rather than failing quietly. set_frame_hold()
resets to 1 when scrolling stops, so one plugin's pacing cannot leak into
whatever is on screen next.

scripts/scroll_speeds.py is the user-facing part: it prints the ladder for the
configured rate, measures what the panel ACTUALLY manages (--measure, for
hardware that cannot reach its configured limit), highlights the nearest option
to a wanted speed, and demos one live. It never starts or stops the display
service itself -- doing that inside a script stranded the panel twice today.

Speeds below ~20 px/s remain stepped regardless. That is the pixel pitch, not a
software limit.

Also fixes the dirty-tracking test spy, which stubbed SwapOnVSync with a
single-argument function and would have masked the new call as a failed push,
and rewrites a configure() test that had started passing for the wrong reason:
it asserted a judder warning, which snapping now prevents, and was matching the
unrelated "hold could not be applied" warning instead.

183 tests pass on the Pi.

* fix(scroll): tie the frame hold to the scroll, not the plugin

The hold applied in configure() never reached the panel. Plugins share one
display manager, and set_scrolling_state(False) -- fired whenever ANY other
plugin finishes its scroll -- reset the hold to 1. A hold set once at plugin
construction was therefore always gone by the time that plugin rendered.

The symptom was a log line that lied. ledmatrix-stocks reported

    Scroll configured: 50.0 px/s (1px every 2 refreshes = 50.0 fps, smooth)

while the panel measured 100.0 fps, median 10.00ms. Config, resolution and
snapping were all correct; only the pacing silently was not applied.

set_scrolling_state(is_scrolling, frame_hold=1) now carries it, so the hold
lives exactly as long as the scroll that asked for it. configure() reports the
value as ScrollSettings.frame_hold instead of applying it -- applying it behind
the caller's back could never have been right on a shared display manager.
Existing callers are unaffected; the default keeps one frame per refresh.

Verified on hardware: stocks at 50 px/s now measures

    50.0 fps over 251 frames | median 20.00ms p95 20.09ms | stalls 0 skips 0

20.00ms being exactly two refreshes, with the panel still refreshing at 100Hz
underneath so flicker is unchanged.

test_another_plugin_stopping_does_not_strand_a_hold pins the interaction that
broke this.

* fix(scroll,cache): resolve CodeRabbit review on #523

Eight findings, all reproduced before fixing.

scroll_config.configure() read the refresh rate *after* resolve() had
already used it. resolve() fills in target_fps, pixels_per_frame and the
judder warning from that rate, so on a 60Hz panel every one of them
described 100Hz -- and with snap_to_crisp=False nothing downstream
corrected it, so set_target_fps() paced the helper to 100 FPS. The rate
is now settled first, and falls back to the global config rather than
straight to the default.

refresh_hz_from_config() used `(cfg.get("display") or {}).get(...)`,
which raises AttributeError when either level is truthy but not a
mapping -- out of a function whose whole contract is a rate or a default.

The frame-stats line reported the upper-middle sample as the median and
the 96th sorted sample as p95 of 100. Both are also thresholds (stalls
at 1.5x the median, skips at 0.5x), so the counts were biased too. The
arithmetic is now in frame_stats()/format_frame_stats(), testable
without a clock.

configure()'s docstring and docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md still said it
applies the frame hold and warns when it cannot. It deliberately does
neither since "tie the frame hold to the scroll, not the plugin"; a
caller following the old text would omit set_scrolling_state() and slow
snapped speeds would still present every refresh.

disk_cache had no policy for non-finite floats: orjson writes null,
the stdlib writes NaN/Infinity, and orjson then rejects those legacy
files so DiskCache.get deleted them as corrupt. One behaviour on both
paths now -- write null, keep legacy records readable. allow_nan=False
detects the values; the replacement walk runs only when there is one,
so the ordinary write path is byte-identical and pays nothing.

build_rgbmatrix_nogil.sh picked the build artifact with a glob piped to
`head -1`, which sorts cpython-311 ahead of cpython-313, so a stale .so
staged in from the source tree was installed as core.so while the GIL
check -- which reads the generated core.cpp, not the .so -- still passed.
It now requires the current interpreter's exact ABI name and fails
closed. Its systemctl calls were also unchecked under `set -uo pipefail`:
a failed stop left the old service running, the following start
succeeded as a no-op, and the health check reported SUCCESS for a
binding that was never loaded.

orjson floor raised to 3.11.6 for CVE-2025-67221 (unbounded recursion
in dumps); it covers the project's Python 3.10-3.13 range.

Adds test/test_cache_nonfinite_floats.py (14) plus regression tests in
test_scroll_config.py and test_scroll_helper.py. 9 of the cache tests
and 9 of the scroll_config tests fail against the pre-fix code.

* test(harness): keep the visual double's signature tied to production

Moves set_scrolling_state's frame_hold into the test double here, where
DisplayManager gains it, rather than in #534 where it arrived a PR early.
CodeRabbit flagged the #534 version correctly: a double that accepts an
argument production does not lets the call pass every harness run and
raise TypeError on the panel, which is the one failure a safety harness
exists to prevent.

The drift has now gone both ways across two branches -- double behind
production on this branch, double ahead of it on #534 -- so it is pinned
instead of remembered. test_display_double_parity.py compares the two
signatures and fails with the direction of the drift named. It reads the
files with ast rather than importing them, because display_manager
imports rgbmatrix at module scope and this check should hold on a laptop
and in CI as well as on a Pi.

Plugins begin passing frame_hold in ledmatrix-plugins#462, which is why
production and the double both need it before that lands.

Full suite: 3889 passed.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 a0d3e64099 fix: ten defects found validating the whole plugin fleet on hardware (#534)
* fix(core): register tom_thumb, accept frame_hold in the test double, wire api_v3's managers

Three independent fixes found while validating every plugin on a 256x64 rig.

FontManager never registered tom_thumb even though assets/fonts/tom-thumb.bdf
ships with the core, so every plugin offering it logged "Font family
'tom_thumb' not found" (16 warnings per countdown render) and had to carry a
private loader to use a bundled font. Closes #524.

VisualTestDisplayManager.set_scrolling_state() lacked the frame_hold parameter
that DisplayManager gained, so any plugin passing it died with TypeError at
render time and failed every size. Nine plugins now make that call;
ledmatrix-stocks and ledmatrix-leaderboard were failing outright and the other
seven only passed because their scroll path was unreachable without data.
Closes #525.

api_v3 declared module-level config_manager/plugin_manager = None that nothing
ever assigned -- app.py sets the blueprint attributes, which the other 150+
call sites use. Three sites read the decoys, so /health reported the config
unreadable and the plugin system uninitialised (making "degraded" permanent and
unreachable-by-design) and /display/current fell back to a hardcoded 128x64 on
every rig. The decoys are removed rather than assigned, so a bare name is now a
NameError at test time instead of a silent None. The same function's first-call
uptime was computed from two separate clock reads and came out negative.
Closes #529.

Verified on the rig: both previously-failing plugins render, the tom_thumb
warnings are gone, /health reports "healthy" with all three checks passing, and
/display/current reports the real 256x64.

* fix(core): unique snapshot temp name, honour on-demand requests, skip empty starlark

The preview snapshot wrote through a fixed "<snapshot>.tmp". /tmp is
world-writable and sticky, and the display service runs as a different user
from the tooling, so a leftover temp owned by anyone else became unopenable
even by root -- fs.protected_regular refuses O_CREAT on a foreign file in a
sticky directory. The preview and the health check's liveness proxy then froze
until someone deleted the file by hand; on the test rig that meant 23 hours of
a healthy display reporting "hardware: stale". Now uses tempfile.mkstemp with
cleanup on failure, matching the hardware-status write a few hundred lines
above. Closes #528.

_poll_on_demand_requests read its mailbox with max_age=3600, and get() defaults
the in-memory TTL to max_age -- so the first request was pinned in memory for an
hour and every later poll returned that stale copy. No second on-demand request
was honoured until the service restarted, while the API kept returning 200.
get() already documents memory_ttl=0 for exactly this cross-process case.
The consumed request is also now deleted: leaving it on disk meant a restart
replayed the previous request, activated it, and ignored the one the caller had
just made. Closes #530.

starlark-apps returned None from display() when it has no app to show, which is
the state of every install without Pixlet and of a fresh one before any app is
added. The controller only skips on a boolean False, so that held a black panel
for the full display_duration instead of rotating on. Closes #456 (core side).

Verified on the rig: two consecutive on-demand requests with no restart between
them are both activated, where the second was previously dropped in silence.

* perf(harness): share one cache across a plugin's renders

_instantiate built a fresh MockCacheManager for every (size, mode), and that
mock is a per-instance in-memory dict, so each render was a cold start. A plugin
that fetches per game or per player re-fetched everything N times over --
baseball-scoreboard at one size took 840s for nine renders where the arithmetic
said ~72s, and at eight sizes it exceeded a 900s timeout.

The second and later renders also never exercised the cache-hit path, which is
what a running rig executes almost all of the time, so a caching regression
could not be caught here.

The cache is now built once per render_plugin_matrix call and threaded down.
The display manager stays per-render -- the bounds checking depends on that --
so only fetched data is shared.

Measured on the rig, same render counts and same goldens:
  tide-display         2s -> 1s   (32 renders)
  cricket-scoreboard  10s -> 3s   (24 renders)
No pass/fail change across tide-display, cricket-scoreboard, clock-simple,
geochron, christmas-countdown, of-the-day, web-ui-info and incoming-packages.

Closes #533.

* fix(scripts): run standalone plugin tests instead of collecting nothing

run_plugin_tests.py discovered every plugin test file and handed the lot to
pytest. Most plugin tests are standalone scripts -- module-level main() plus an
`if __name__ == "__main__"` guard, signalling through an exit code -- and pytest
collects zero items from those. The run printed how many files it had *found*,
then "no tests ran", and exited without executing any of them. On a rig with all
44 first-party plugins that is 151 of 248 files.

Files are now classified and each kind runs under the right runner: pytest for
real test modules, subprocess for scripts, honouring the 0 pass / 2 skip / 1
fail convention ledmatrix-plugins' own runner established (a script that wants a
tty or an LED matrix is a skip, not a regression).

Before:
    $ python3 scripts/run_plugin_tests.py -p countdown -d ~/LEDMatrix/plugin-repos
    Found 1 test file(s)
    collected 0 items
    no tests ran in 0.31s                      rc=0

After:
    Found 1 test file(s) -- 0 collectable, 1 standalone script(s)
    1 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed (scripts)    rc=0

Verified across three shapes: countdown (1 script), jellyfin-now-playing and
pomodoro-timer (pytest only, 16 and 42 tests), and ledmatrix-flights (11 files
split 4 collectable / 7 scripts, all seven of which had never run).

Closes #532.

Running the flights scripts for the first time also surfaced four genuinely
failing tests there, hidden by the mirror-image bug in the plugins repo's own
runner -- filed as ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins#464 and #465.

* fix(harness): give an empty-looking mode a few frames before warning about it

check_plugin's "drew nothing but display() returned X" warning fired on a single
frame, rendered with force_clear=True, under a frozen clock. All three defeat a
scrolling plugin, whose first frame is legitimately its blank scroll-in buffer.
Across 44 first-party plugins, 60 of 76 warnings were false -- the rate at which
people stop reading a warning, which matters because the true positives are
real: a mode that draws nothing and does not return False holds a blank panel
for its whole display duration.

An apparently-empty frame is now re-driven for up to 48 more frames with
force_clear=False (force_clear means "reset the scroll", so repeating it would
redraw frame 1 for ever) and with the clock advancing -- freezegun's factory
where time is frozen, a real sleep where it is not, since scroll position is
usually a function of elapsed time. The first frame that draws content replaces
the result.

The clock is moved back afterwards. It is shared by every render in the matrix,
so time borrowed by the probe leaked into later modes and drifted their goldens
-- f1_upcoming picked up 5 spurious drifts before this was restored.

Measured on the rig:

                        empty warns          check
                        before  after
  f1-scoreboard            42      0    48 PASS / 0 FAIL, goldens intact
  ledmatrix-elections      16      0    16 PASS / 0 FAIL
  on-air                    8      8    true positive, kept
  nfl-draft                 8      8    true positive, kept
  clock-simple/geochron/    0      0    unchanged
  christmas-countdown

58 false positives gone, both true positives kept, no golden regressions. Cost
is confined to modes that really are blank: plugins that draw immediately are
unchanged (clock-simple and tide-display still 2s), while on-air -- eight
deliberately blank modes -- goes to 21s.

Closes #527.

* fix(harness): load nested schema defaults, and merge caller config at leaf level

load_config_defaults read only top-level properties. An object property carries
its defaults on its children, not on itself, so everything nested was dropped --
2,386 defaults across 37 of 44 plugins, soccer-scoreboard alone losing 539 of
565. render_plugin_matrix's comment says the plugin then "behaves like a real
install", which for most of the fleet it did not.

_defaults_from_properties now recurses. merge_config deep-merges the caller's
config onto the result so an override lands at the leaf: a shallow merge would
let -c '{"nhl": {"enabled": true}}' replace the whole nhl subtree and discard
every other nhl default, which is the same class of bug being fixed here.

Measured before/after across all 49 installed plugins on the rig: **no render
changed** -- identical PASS/FAIL counts, byte-identical output, goldens intact.
Plugins already fall back to the same values internally via config.get(key,
default), so supplying them explicitly agrees with what they were doing. The
defaults really are arriving now:

  ufc-scoreboard        9 -> 87 defaults
  ledmatrix-flights    51 -> 95
  masters-tournament   10 -> 51
  cricket-scoreboard   22 -> 50
  tide-display         12 -> 18

and hockey-scoreboard, which used to load nhl.enabled=None, now gets
nhl.enabled=True with its full display_modes block.

Caveat worth carrying: the eight plugins with the most nested config
(soccer, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, football, afl, nrl -- 1,634 of
the 2,386 dropped defaults, 68%) could not be measured. They import
src.common.sports_shared, which the test rig's core branch predates, so they
fail to load there identically before and after. Re-run this comparison against
a core that has that module before trusting the "nothing changed" result for
them; those are exactly the plugins whose renders should change most.

Closes #531.

* refactor: narrow the exception handlers this branch introduced

Codacy flagged the new code; it passes on other recent PRs, so the finding is
mine. Four of the five broad `except Exception` clauses I added were catching
far more than they needed to, which is the same shape as several bugs this
branch fixes -- hello-world's TypeError sat invisible for exactly this reason.

  freezer() / move_to() / tick()   -> (AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError)
  cache_manager.delete()           -> (OSError, AttributeError, KeyError)

The fifth stays broad and now says why: it wraps a call into a plugin's own
display(), which can raise anything, and the first frame has already rendered --
so a failure there must not turn a good result into an error.

Verified against a checkout of main: f1-scoreboard 48 PASS / 0 FAIL with 0 empty
warnings, on-air keeps its 8 true positives, clock-simple 8 PASS. geochron shows
7 golden drifts both before and after this branch, so it is not from these
changes -- its committed goldens predate #521's 1-bit text rendering.

* fix: resolve CodeRabbit review and Codacy findings on #534

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.

* chore: satisfy Codacy's subprocess checks on the new test runner

Codacy runs Bandit and Opengrep (its Semgrep fork). The new
subprocess.run in scripts/run_plugin_tests.py trips three patterns, on
two different lines:

  Bandit   B404 on the import, B603 on the call
  Opengrep dangerous-subprocess-use-audit          on the run( line
           dangerous-subprocess-use-tainted-env-args on the argv line

A nosemgrep applies only to its own line, so the call line and the argv
line each need one; a single comment on the call covered neither rule
fully. Suppression is the right answer here rather than a rewrite: the
interpreter is sys.executable, the arguments are a list, and no shell is
involved, so there is nothing to word-split or expand.

Matches the pair the rest of the repo already uses for this shape --
permission_utils.py, plugin_loader.py, install_dependencies_apt.py.

Codacy: 0 new issues, up to standards.

* chore: leave visual_display_manager untouched so #523 can merge

The only change this branch made to that file was a docstring, and it
collided with #523's rewrite of the same method -- so #534 and #523 each
merged cleanly against main but conflicted with each other. Reverted to
main's text; #523 owns this method and adds frame_hold to it.

The note the docstring carried ('frame_hold arrives in #523') would have
been stale the moment #523 landed anyway. The parity test in #523 is
what actually keeps the two signatures honest.

* chore: add the Ruff suppression nosec/nosemgrep do not cover

Ruff reports S603 on the same call Bandit and Opengrep do, and none of
the three suppressions covers the others. Confirmed the precondition
first: path comes from discover_plugin_tests(), which globs test files
inside the repo, and the call is a fixed interpreter with a list argv
and no shell.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 91d15a8943 fix(display): draw text 1-bit, so glyphs stay crisp on the LED grid (#521)
An LED panel has no partial brightness. PIL defaults ImageDraw's fontmode to
"L", which anti-aliases TrueType glyphs into a grey fringe the panel can only
round off -- a 4px glyph arrives smeared into 3px.

DisplayManager creates its shared `draw` in six places and set fontmode at
none of them, while _load_fonts loads extra_small_font as 4x6-font.ttf at
size 6. Measured at draw time, that face at that size puts 74% of its lit
pixels at partial coverage. Every plugin drawing small text through the
shared draw inherited the blur; geochron was the case that surfaced it.

The harness's VisualDisplayManager had the same gap, which mattered more than
it looks: goldens were recording anti-aliased text that production would not
produce, so the harness could not have caught this. Fixing only production
left geochron still blurry under the harness -- that is how the second site
was found.

Both are set to "1" so the harness renders what the panel renders.
