ChuckBuildsandClaude Opus 5 cbe6240665 fix(backup): restore must not depend on owning the file it replaces
Follow-up from testing the previous commit on real hardware, where the
secrets fix turned out to be both too narrow and slightly wrong.

Too narrow: config.json, wifi_config.json and ytm_auth.json are installed
root-owned and group-readable exactly like the secrets file, so all four
were unrestorable by the web service, not just one. `shutil.copy2` opens
the destination for writing, which needs permission on the *existing
file*; the web user could create files in that directory all day and
still not replace them.

Slightly wrong: the previous commit loosened the secrets file to
group-writable. That was treating the symptom. The real error was
deciding ownership from `ledmatrix.service` -- the display service, which
runs as root and only ever *reads* secrets -- when the account that
*writes* them is the web interface, which deliberately does not run as
root. Ownership now follows the web service's user and the mode stays
640.

`_copy_file` writes a temporary file alongside the target and renames
over it. That needs only directory permission, so a restore no longer
cares who owns the destination, and it is atomic: a crash mid-restore can
no longer leave a half-written config. The destination's mode is carried
across so restoring secrets does not widen them to the umask, and its
owner is carried across too when the OS allows it -- only root can hand a
file to another user, so a restore run by the web service keeps its own
ownership rather than pretending to preserve root's.

Verified on a device with all four config files set root-owned 640 and
unwritable by the web user: before, every one failed with EACCES; after,
the restore reports success with no errors and all four sections
restored, mode still 640, root still able to read them and the web
service still able to write them.

ChuckBuildsandClaude Opus 5 ffd706a454 fix(backup): make a restored device match the one that was backed up
Found by wiping a working device and reinstalling from scratch. Every
problem here is invisible until you actually do that, which is why a
green test suite and eleven hours of uptime had not surfaced any of them.

**Four enabled plugins vanished on restore.** Weather, stocks, music and
leaderboard have a registry `id` that differs from the `id` in their own
manifest: the registry calls them `weather`, everything else calls them
`ledmatrix-weather`. Installation already prefers the manifest id for the
directory name and warns when the two disagree, so on disk, in
config.json and in a backup they are `ledmatrix-weather` -- but nothing
resolved that in reverse. Restore asked the store for `ledmatrix-weather`
and got "Plugin not found in registry", four times, and the device came
back missing four plugins the user had enabled.

Registry lookup now falls back to matching `plugin_path`, which already
records `plugins/ledmatrix-weather`. Renaming the published ids would
have orphaned `plugin_state.json` entries keyed on the old ones. Exact id
still wins, so a path that collides with another entry's id cannot
shadow it. Against the live registry and a real 28-plugin install this
takes unresolvable directories from five to one -- the one being
starlark-apps, which is genuinely not in the registry.

**Secrets could not be restored at all.** A fresh install left
config_secrets.json group-readable but not group-writable, and the web
interface -- which is what performs a restore -- does not necessarily run
as the owner. Every other file in the backup restored; secrets failed
with EACCES. Now group-writable, so the account running the web UI can
put them back.

**A partial restore reported "Restore had errors" and nothing else.**
That is the same message whether the whole thing failed or it quietly
dropped your API keys. It now names what was restored, what failed, and
which plugins were not reinstalled.

**ytm_auth.json was never in the backup.** It sits in config/ beside the
three files that are, and is pure device-local auth: losing it silently
signs the user out of YouTube Music. Backed up and restored with the
wifi config, which it resembles.

**Backups were written inside the directory a reinstall deletes.**
config/backups/exports is destroyed by the reinstall the user was told to
make it before. Exports now go beside the install, falling back to the
old path when that is not writable.

**The installer reboots without asking in non-interactive mode**, which
the README did not mention -- easy to hit when piping the install, and
alarming when a device you are installing onto disappears. Documented,
with --no-reboot-prompt. Its log also claimed root:ledmatrix while
printing a hardcoded group name rather than the one it used.

Tests: registry resolution gets its own suite, including the collision
case and third-party entries with an empty plugin_path. The existing
round-trip test passed throughout this because its fixture plugin has a
directory name equal to its id -- the one shape that cannot fail -- so it
now carries ytm_auth too.

4ef3f8cad5 feat(web): add config backup & restore UI (#310)
* feat(web): add config backup & restore UI

Adds a Backup & Restore tab to the v3 web UI that packages user config,
secrets, WiFi, user-uploaded fonts, plugin image uploads, and the installed
plugin list into a single ZIP for safe reinstall recovery. Restore extracts
the bundle, snapshots current state via the existing atomic config manager
(so rollback stays available), reapplies the selected sections, and
optionally reinstalls missing plugins from the store.

* fix(backup): address PR review findings

- backup_manager: read plugin state from "states" key (not "plugins") to
  match the actual plugin_state.json format written by state_manager
- backup_manager: stream ZIP directly to a temp file instead of building
  it in an io.BytesIO buffer to avoid OOM on Raspberry Pi
- backup_manager: tighten plugin-uploads path validation in validate_backup
  and restore_backup to require "/uploads/" in the path, rejecting any
  non-uploads files smuggled under assets/plugins/
- api_v3: enforce 200 MB upload limit by streaming in chunks rather than
  relying on validate_file_upload (which only checks the filename)
- api_v3: replace bool() with _coerce_to_bool() for RestoreOptions fields
  so string "false" is not treated as truthy
- api_v3: capture and log _save_config_atomic return value instead of
  discarding it; log rather than silence font-cache and config-reload errors
- backup_restore.html: track inspectedFile so runRestore always applies to
  the file the user inspected, not a subsequently selected file; clear on
  input change or clearRestore()
- backup_restore.html: throw on non-success restore payload so errors are
  surfaced via the error notification path instead of yellow "warnings"
- test: update fixture to use correct "states" key structure; import
  SCHEMA_VERSION constant instead of hardcoding 1; rename unused err -> _err

* fix(backup): address second round of PR review findings

- api_v3: guard opts_dict with isinstance check after json.loads so a
  non-object JSON payload (null, array, etc.) returns a 400 instead of a
  500 AttributeError
- backup_manager: wrap tmp ZIP creation and os.replace in try/except so
  the .zip.tmp temp file is always removed on any failure
- backup_manager: replace hardcoded Path("/tmp/_zip_check") sentinel in
  validate_backup with a proper tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() so path
  traversal checks are portable and leave no artifacts
- backup_restore.html: detect partial-success responses (plugins_failed or
  errors non-empty) even when status is 'success' and render yellow/warning
  styling and notify instead of green

* fix(backup): add post-install steps for restored plugins; conditional restart hint

- api_v3: after a successful plugin reinstall during restore, run the same
  post-install sequence used by the normal /plugins/install flow:
  invalidate schema cache, discover_plugins()/load_plugin(), and
  set_plugin_installed() so restored plugins are immediately available
- backup_restore.html: only show the "restart the display service" hint
  when at least one item was restored or at least one plugin was installed

* fix(backup): address Codacy findings

- api_v3: replace 'fonts' in ' '.join(result.restored) substring check
  with any(r.startswith("fonts") for r in result.restored) to avoid
  fragile joined-string membership testing
- api_v3: replace deprecated datetime.utcnow() and utcfromtimestamp()
  with datetime.now(timezone.utc) and fromtimestamp(..., timezone.utc);
  add timezone to import
- test: remove unused import io (backup_manager no longer uses BytesIO)
- src/backup_manager.py hardcoded /tmp sentinel was already fixed in a
  prior commit (tempfile.TemporaryDirectory)
