ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 93e2d29af6 docs: fix .cursor/ helper docs
The .cursor/ directory holds the dev-side helper docs that Cursor and
contributors using AI tooling rely on to bootstrap plugin development.
Several of them had the same bug patterns as the user-facing docs.

.cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md
- "Adding Image Rendering" section showed
  display_manager.draw_image(image, x=0, y=0). That method doesn't
  exist on DisplayManager (same bug as PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md and
  PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md). Replaced with the canonical
  display_manager.image.paste((x,y)) pattern, including the
  transparency-mask form.

.cursor/plugins_guide.md
- 10 occurrences of ./dev_plugin_setup.sh — the script lives at
  scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh, so anyone copy-pasting these
  examples gets "command not found". Bulk fixed via sed.
- "Test with emulator: python run.py --emulator" — there's no
  --emulator flag. Replaced with the real options:
  EMULATOR=true python3 run.py for the full display, or
  scripts/dev_server.py for the dev preview.
- Secrets management section showed a fictional
  "config_secrets": { "api_key": "my-plugin.api_key" } reference
  field. Verified in src/config_manager.py:162-172 that secrets are
  loaded by deep-merging config_secrets.json into the main config.
  There is no separate reference field — just put the secret under
  the same plugin namespace and read it from the merged config.
  Rewrote the section with the real pattern.
- "ssh pi@raspberrypi" -> "ssh ledpi@your-pi-ip" (consistent with
  the rest of LEDMatrix docs which use ledpi as the default user)

.cursor/README.md
- Same ./dev_plugin_setup.sh -> ./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh
  fix (×6 occurrences via replace_all).
- Same "python run.py --emulator" -> "EMULATOR=true python3 run.py"
  fix. Also added a pointer to scripts/dev_server.py for previewing
  plugins without running the full display.
- "Example Plugins: plugins/hockey-scoreboard/" — the canonical
  source is the ledmatrix-plugins repo. Installed copies land in
  plugin-repos/ or plugins/. Updated the line to point at the
  ledmatrix-plugins repo and explain both local locations.

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 a62d4529fb docs: flag aspirational/regressed features in plugin docs
These docs describe features that exist as documented in the doc but
either never wired up or regressed when v3 shipped. Each gets a clear
status banner so plugin authors don't waste time chasing features that
don't actually work.

FONT_MANAGER.md
- The "For Plugin Developers / Plugin Font Registration" section
  documents adding a "fonts" block to manifest.json that gets
  registered via FontManager.register_plugin_fonts(). The method
  exists at src/font_manager.py:150 but is **never called from
  anywhere** in the codebase (verified: zero callers). A plugin
  shipping a manifest "fonts" block has its fonts silently ignored.
  Added a status warning and a note about how to actually ship plugin
  fonts (regular files in the plugin dir, loaded directly).

PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md
- Added a top-level status banner.
- Architecture diagram referenced src/plugin_system/registry_manager.py
  (which doesn't exist) and listed plugins/ as the install location.
  Replaced with the real file list (plugin_loader, schema_manager,
  health_monitor, operation_queue, state_manager) and pointed at
  plugin-repos/ as the default install location.
- "Dependency Management: Virtual Environments" — verified there's no
  per-plugin venv. Removed the bullet and added a note that plugin
  Python deps install into the system Python environment, with no
  conflict resolution.
- "Permission System: File Access Control / Network Access /
  Resource Limits / CPU and memory constraints" — none of these
  exist. There's a resource_monitor.py and health_monitor.py for
  metrics/warnings, but no hard caps or sandboxing. Replaced the
  section with what's actually implemented and a clear note that
  plugins run in the same process with full file/network access.

PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS.md and PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- The custom-icon feature was implemented in the v2 web interface
  via a getPluginIcon() helper in templates/index_v2.html that read
  the manifest "icon" field. When the v3 web interface was built,
  that helper wasn't ported. Verified in
  web_interface/templates/v3/base.html:515 and :774, plugin tab
  icons are hardcoded to `fas fa-puzzle-piece`. The "icon" field in
  plugin manifests is currently silently ignored (verified with grep
  across web_interface/ and src/plugin_system/ — zero non-action-
  related reads of plugin.icon or manifest.icon).
- Added a status banner to both docs noting the regression so plugin
  authors don't think their custom icons are broken in their own
  plugin code.

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 b577668568 docs: clarify plugin paths and fix systemd manual install bug
PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md
- Added a "Plugin directory note" callout near the top explaining
  the plugins/ vs plugin-repos/ split:
  - Dev workflow uses plugins/ (where dev_plugin_setup.sh creates
    symlinks)
  - Production / Plugin Store uses plugin-repos/ (the configurable
    default per config.template.json:130)
  - The plugin loader falls back to plugins/ so dev symlinks are
    picked up automatically (schema_manager.py:77)
  - User can set plugins_directory to "plugins" in the General tab
    if they want both to share a directory

CLAUDE.md
- The Project Structure section had plugins/ and plugin-repos/
  exactly reversed:
  - Old: "plugins/ - Installed plugins directory (gitignored)"
         "plugin-repos/ - Development symlinks to monorepo plugin dirs"
  - Real: plugin-repos/ is the canonical Plugin Store install
    location and is not gitignored. plugins/* IS gitignored
    (verified in .gitignore) and is the legacy/dev location used by
    scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh.
  Reversed the descriptions and added line refs.

systemd/README.md
- "Manual Installation" section told users to copy the unit file
  directly to /etc/systemd/system/. Verified the unit file in
  systemd/ledmatrix.service contains __PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__
  placeholders that the install scripts substitute at install time.
  A user following the manual steps would get a service that fails
  to start with "WorkingDirectory=__PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__" errors.
  Added a clear warning and a sed snippet that substitutes the
  placeholder before installing.

src/common/README.md
- Was missing 2 of the 11 utility modules in the directory
  (verified with ls): permission_utils.py and cli.py. Added brief
  descriptions for both.

Out-of-scope code bug found while auditing (flagged but not fixed):
- scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh:9 sets PROJECT_ROOT="$SCRIPT_DIR"
  which resolves to scripts/dev/, not the project root. This means
  the script's PLUGINS_DIR resolves to scripts/dev/plugins/ instead
  of the project's plugins/ — confirmed by the existence of
  scripts/dev/plugins/of-the-day/ from prior runs. Real fix is to
  set PROJECT_ROOT="$(cd "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.." && pwd)". Not fixing in
  this docs PR.

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 2f3433cebc docs: fix misc remaining docs (architecture, dev quickref, sub-dir READMEs)
PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md
- Added a banner at the top noting this is a historical design doc
  written before the plugin system shipped. The doc is ~1900 lines
  with 13 stale /api/plugins/* paths (real is /api/v3/plugins/*),
  references to web_interface_v2.py (current is app.py), and a
  Migration Strategy / Implementation Roadmap that's now history.
  Banner points readers at the current docs
  (PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE, PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE,
  REST_API_REFERENCE) without needing to retrofit every section.

PLUGIN_CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE.md
- 10 occurrences of /api/plugins/* missing /v3 prefix. Bulk fixed.

DEVELOPER_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- cache_manager.delete("key") -> cache_manager.clear_cache("key")
  with comment noting delete() doesn't exist. Same bug already
  documented in PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md.

SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL.md
- 4 occurrences of port 5001 -> 5000 in AP-mode and Ethernet/WiFi
  recovery instructions.

PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000.

CONFIG_DEBUGGING.md
- Documented /api/v3/config/plugin/<id> and /api/v3/config/validate
  endpoints don't exist. Replaced with the real endpoints:
  /api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=,
  /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=. Added a note that validation
  runs server-side automatically on POST.

STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE.md
- "Plugins -> Starlark Apps" UI navigation path doesn't exist (5
  occurrences). Replaced with the real path: Plugin Manager tab,
  then the per-plugin Starlark Apps tab in the second nav row.
- "Navigate to Plugins" install step -> Plugin Manager tab.

web_interface/README.md
- Documented several endpoints that don't exist in the api_v3
  blueprint:
  - GET /api/v3/plugins (list) -> /api/v3/plugins/installed
  - GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> -> doesn't exist
  - POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config -> POST /api/v3/plugins/config
  - GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable + /disable -> POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle
  - GET /api/v3/store/plugins -> /api/v3/plugins/store/list
  - POST /api/v3/store/install/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/install
  - POST /api/v3/store/uninstall/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall
  - POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/update
  - POST /api/v3/display/start/stop/restart -> POST /api/v3/system/action
  - GET /api/v3/display/status -> GET /api/v3/system/status
- Also fixed config/secrets.json -> config/config_secrets.json
- Replaced the per-section endpoint duplication with a current real
  endpoint list and a pointer to docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md.
- Documented that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the
  Flask app at app.py:607-615, not in the api_v3 blueprint.

scripts/install/README.md
- Was missing 3 of the 9 install scripts in the directory:
  one-shot-install.sh, configure_wifi_permissions.sh, and
  debug_install.sh. Added them with brief descriptions.

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 b374bfa8c6 docs: fix plugin config + store + dependency docs
PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md
- 19 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000
- All API paths missing /v3 (e.g. /api/plugins/install ->
  /api/v3/plugins/install). Bulk fix.

PLUGIN_REGISTRY_SETUP_GUIDE.md
- Same port + /api/v3 fixes (3 occurrences each)
- "Go to Plugin Store tab" -> "Open the Plugin Manager tab and scroll
  to the Install from GitHub section" (the real flow for registry
  setup is the GitHub install section, not the Plugin Store search)

PLUGIN_CONFIG_QUICK_START.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000 (5001 is the dev_server.py default, not the web UI)
- "Plugin Store tab" install flow -> real Plugin Manager + Plugin Store
  section + per-plugin tab in second nav row
- Removed reference to PLUGIN_CONFIG_TABS_SUMMARY.md (archived doc)

PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS.md
- "Plugin Management vs Configuration" section confusingly described
  a "Plugins Tab" that doesn't exist as a single thing. Rewrote to
  describe the real two-piece structure: Plugin Manager tab (browse,
  install, toggle) vs per-plugin tabs (configure individual plugins).

PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_GUIDE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000

PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- Wrong port (8080) and wrong UI nav ("Plugin Store or Plugin
  Management"). Fixed to the real flow.

PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- "Plugin Location: ./plugins/ directory" -> default is plugin-repos/
  (verified in config/config.template.json:130 and
  display_controller.py:132). plugins/ is a fallback.
- File structure diagram showed plugins/ -> plugin-repos/.
- Web UI install flow: "Plugin Store tab" -> "Plugin Manager tab ->
  Plugin Store section". Also fixed Configure ⚙️ button (doesn't
  exist) and "Drag and drop reorder" (not implemented).
- API examples: replaced ad-hoc Python pseudocode with real curl
  examples against /api/v3/plugins/* endpoints. Pointed at
  REST_API_REFERENCE.md for the full list.
- "Migration Path Phase 1-5" was a roadmap written before the plugin
  system shipped. The plugin system is now stable and live. Removed
  the migration phases as they're history, not a roadmap.
- "Quick Migration" section called scripts/migrate_to_plugins.py
  which doesn't exist anywhere in the repo. Removed.
- "Plugin Registry Structure" referenced
  ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugin-registry which doesn't exist. The
  real registry is ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins. Fixed.
- "Next Steps" / "Questions to Resolve" sections were
  pre-implementation planning notes. Replaced with a "Known
  Limitations" section that documents the actually-real gaps
  (sandboxing, resource limits, ratings, auto-updates).

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 49287bdd1a docs: fix ADVANCED_FEATURES and REST_API_REFERENCE
REST_API_REFERENCE.md
- Wrong path: /fonts/delete/<font_family> -> /fonts/<font_family>
  (verified the real DELETE route in
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py).
- Diffed the documented routes against the real api_v3 blueprint
  (92 routes vs the 71 documented). Added missing sections:
  - Error tracking (/errors/summary, /errors/plugin/<id>, /errors/clear)
  - Health (/health)
  - Schedule dim/power (/config/dim-schedule GET/POST)
  - Plugin-specific endpoints (calendar/list-calendars,
    of-the-day/json/upload+delete, plugins/<id>/static/<path>)
  - Starlark Apps (12 endpoints: status, install-pixlet, apps CRUD,
    repository browse/install, upload)
  - Font preview (/fonts/preview)
- Updated table of contents with the new sections.
- Added a footer note that the API blueprint mounts at /api/v3
  (app.py:144) and that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on
  the Flask app at app.py:607-615.

ADVANCED_FEATURES.md
- Vegas Scroll Mode section was actually accurate (verified all
  config keys match src/vegas_mode/config.py:15-30).

- On-Demand Display section had multiple bugs:
  - 5 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000
  - All API paths missing /v3 (e.g. /api/display/on-demand/start
    should be /api/v3/display/on-demand/start)
  - "Settings -> Plugin Management -> Show Now Button" UI flow doesn't
    exist. Real flow: open the plugin's tab in the second nav row,
    click Run On-Demand / Stop On-Demand.
  - "Python API Methods" section showed
    controller.show_on_demand() / clear_on_demand() /
    is_on_demand_active() / get_on_demand_info() — none of these
    methods exist on DisplayController. The on-demand machinery is
    all internal (_set_on_demand_*, _activate_on_demand, etc) and
    is driven through the cache_manager. Replaced the section with
    a note pointing to the REST API.
  - All Use Case Examples used the same fictional Python calls.
    Replaced with curl examples against the real API.

- Cache Management section claimed "On-demand display uses Redis cache
  keys". LEDMatrix doesn't use Redis — verified with grep that
  src/cache_manager.py has no redis import. The cache is file-based,
  managed by CacheManager (file at /var/cache/ledmatrix/ or fallback
  paths). Rewrote the manual recovery section:
  - Removed redis-cli commands
  - Replaced cache.delete() Python calls with cache.clear_cache()
    (the real public method per the same bug already flagged in
    PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md)
  - Replaced "Settings -> Cache Management" with the real Cache tab
  - Documented the actual cache directory candidates

- Background Data Service section:
  - Used "nfl_scoreboard" as the plugin id in the example.
    The real plugin is "football-scoreboard" (handles both NFL and
    NCAA). Fixed.
  - "Implementation Status: Phase 1 NFL only / Phase 2 planned"
    section was severely outdated. The background service is now
    used by all sports scoreboards (football, hockey, baseball,
    basketball, soccer, lacrosse, F1, UFC), the odds ticker, and
    the leaderboard plugin. Replaced with a current "Plugins using
    the background service" note.

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 1d31465df0 docs: fix WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE and WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP
WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md
- Web UI port: 5050 -> 5000 (4 occurrences)
- Tab list was almost entirely fictional. Documented tabs:
  General Settings, Display Settings, Durations, Sports Configuration,
  Plugin Management, Plugin Store, Font Management. None of these
  exist. Real tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html:
  935-1000): Overview, General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor,
  Fonts, Logs, Cache, Operation History, plus Plugin Manager and
  per-plugin tabs in the second nav row. Rewrote the navigation
  section, the General/Display/Plugin sections, and the Common Tasks
  walkthroughs to match.
- Quick Actions list referenced "Test Display" button (doesn't exist).
  Replaced with the real button list verified in
  partials/overview.html:88-152: Start/Stop Display, Restart Display
  Service, Restart Web Service, Update Code, Reboot, Shutdown.
- API endpoints used /api/* paths. The api_v3 blueprint mounts at
  /api/v3 (web_interface/app.py:144), so the real paths are
  /api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/system/status, etc. Fixed.
- Removed bogus "Sports Configuration tab" walkthrough; sports
  favorites live inside each scoreboard plugin's own tab now.
- Plugin directory listed as /plugins/. Real default is plugin-repos/
  (verified in config/config.template.json:130 and
  display_controller.py:132); plugins/ is a fallback.
- Removed "Swipe navigation between tabs" mobile claim (not implemented).

WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP.md
- 21 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000.
- All /api/wifi/* curl examples used the wrong path. The real wifi
  API routes are at /api/v3/wifi/* (api_v3.py:6367-6609). Fixed.
- ap_password default was documented as "" (empty/open network) but
  config/wifi_config.json ships with "ledmatrix123". Updated the
  Quick Start, Configuration table, AP Mode Settings section, and
  Security Recommendations to match. Also clarified that setting
  ap_password to "" is the way to make it an open network.

ChuckandClaude Opus 4.6 2a7a318cf7 docs: refresh and correct stale documentation across repo
Walked the README and docs/ tree against current code and fixed several
real bugs and many stale references. Highlights:

User-facing
- README.md: web interface install instructions referenced
  install_web_service.sh at the repo root, but it actually lives at
  scripts/install/install_web_service.sh.
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: every web UI port reference said 5050, but
  the real server in web_interface/start.py:123 binds 5000. Same bug
  was duplicated in docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md (17 occurrences). Fixed
  both.
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: rewrote tab-by-tab instructions. The doc
  referenced "Plugin Store", "Plugin Management", "Sports Configuration",
  "Durations", and "Font Management" tabs - none of which exist. Real
  tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html) are: Overview,
  General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor, Fonts, Logs, Cache,
  Operation History, Plugin Manager (+ per-plugin tabs).
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: removed references to a "Test Display"
  button (doesn't exist) and "Show Now" / "Stop" plugin buttons. Real
  controls are "Run On-Demand" / "Stop On-Demand" inside each plugin's
  tab (partials/plugin_config.html:792).
- docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md: removed dead reference to
  troubleshoot_weather.sh (doesn't exist anywhere in the repo); weather
  is now a plugin in ledmatrix-plugins.

Developer-facing
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: documented draw_image() doesn't exist
  on DisplayManager. Real plugins paste onto display_manager.image
  directly (verified in src/base_classes/{baseball,basketball,football,
  hockey}.py). Replaced with the canonical pattern.
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: documented cache_manager.delete() doesn't
  exist. Real method is clear_cache(key=None). Updated the section.
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: added 10 missing BasePlugin methods that
  the doc never mentioned: dynamic-duration hooks, live-priority hooks,
  and the full Vegas-mode interface.
- docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md: same draw_image fix.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: corrected the "Plugin Submodules" section. Plugins
  are NOT git submodules - .gitmodules only contains
  rpi-rgb-led-matrix-master. Plugins are installed at runtime into the
  plugins directory configured by plugin_system.plugins_directory
  (default plugin-repos/). Both internal links in this doc were also
  broken (missing relative path adjustment).
- docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md: removed pytest-timeout from install line
  (not in requirements.txt) and corrected the test/integration/ path
  (real integration tests are at test/web_interface/integration/).
  Replaced the fictional file structure diagram with the real one.
- docs/EMULATOR_SETUP_GUIDE.md: clone URL was a placeholder; default
  pixel_size was documented as 16 but emulator_config.json ships with 5.

Index
- docs/README.md: rewrote. Old index claimed "16-17 files after
  consolidation" but docs/ actually has 38 .md files. Four were missing
  from the index entirely (CONFIG_DEBUGGING, DEV_PREVIEW,
  PLUGIN_ERROR_HANDLING, STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE). Trimmed the navel-gazing
  consolidation/statistics sections.

Out of scope but worth flagging:
- src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:343 and src/common/api_helper.py:287
  call cache_manager.delete(key) but no such method exists on
  CacheManager. Both call sites would AttributeError at runtime if hit.
  Not fixed in this docs PR - either add a delete() shim or convert
  callers to clear_cache().
