Change After=network.target to After=network-online.target + Wants=network-
online.target in both service templates and install_web_service.sh.
network.target only means NetworkManager has started — it does NOT mean the
device has an active internet connection. On boot, the LED matrix service was
starting within seconds of the network interface appearing, before WiFi
association and DHCP completed, causing all first-update API calls to fail
with "Network is unreachable" or DNS resolution errors.
network-online.target waits for a confirmed network route before the service
starts. On Raspberry Pi OS this is provided by NetworkManager-wait-online.
The tradeoff is a few extra seconds at boot, which is acceptable for a
display device.
Applied live to /etc/systemd/system/ledmatrix.service on devpi via
systemctl daemon-reload (no restart required for the config change to take
effect on next boot).

first_time_install.sh: remove --remote from both git submodule update
calls so first-time installs check out the pinned commit recorded in the
repo rather than whatever upstream master happens to be at install time.
The branch = master config in .gitmodules reserves --remote for an
explicit maintainer upgrade (git submodule update --remote).
display_manager.py: guard rp1_rio assignment with hasattr() so setting
the option in config does not cause an AttributeError and silently fall
through to emulator mode when running against RGBMatrixEmulator or an
older rgbmatrix build that predates the Pi 5 property. Emit a warning
instead so the operator knows the value was ignored.

The library migrated from 'make build-python' + 'pip install bindings/python'
to a scikit-build-core + cmake build where the entire repo root is pip-
installable via 'pip install .'. Update first_time_install.sh accordingly:
- Remove the 'make build-python' step (target no longer exists)
- Install directly from the repo root instead of bindings/python
- Replace build deps: remove cython3/scons/python3-dev, add python-dev-is-python3

Configure submodule to track upstream master branch (branch = master in
.gitmodules) so future updates are a single 'git submodule update --remote'
rather than manual SHA management.
Update first_time_install.sh to use --remote flag so fresh installs always
pull the current upstream master, not the commit recorded at clone time.
Current upstream HEAD (8907235) brings:
- PR #1886: Raspberry Pi 5 support — new RP1 PIO and RIO backends. The
library auto-detects Pi 5 hardware at runtime; no config change required
for basic operation. adafruit-hat-pwm is confirmed supported on Pi 5.
- PR #1833: setup.py migrated from distutils → setuptools, fixing Python
3.12+ build failure (Pi runs Python 3.13). Previous version could not
build the bindings at all on current Pi OS.
Expose new rp1_rio option in display_manager.py and config.template.json:
0 (default) = PIO mode — uses Pi 5 RP1 coprocessor, minimal CPU usage
1 = RIO mode — Registered IO, faster throughput, higher CPU; note that
gpio_slowdown has inverted effect in this mode
No API changes to RGBMatrix, RGBMatrixOptions, or FrameCanvas. Pi 4 and
earlier hardware is unaffected — rp1_rio is silently ignored on non-Pi-5.
