plugin_adapter narrates every step of acquiring content from every plugin --
"Has get_vegas_content", "Native: calling get_vegas_content()", "Native
content returned None", "Has scroll_helper", per-item sizes -- once per plugin
per cycle, all at INFO.
Measured on a live rig: 13,408 log lines an hour, of which 13,366 were INFO
and 35 were WARNING. Roughly 223 lines a minute of string formatting on a Pi
that is also driving the panel, written through journald to the SD card, with
the 35 lines that actually indicate a problem buried among them.
Top repeated messages in that hour:
717 Scroll progress: elapsed=... total_scrolled=.../... px
399 [plugin] --> INCLUDED in Vegas scroll
323 [plugin] content_type=static, display_mode=fixed
195 [plugin] Has get_vegas_content: True
195 [plugin] Native: calling get_vegas_content()
168 [plugin] Native: get_vegas_content() returned None
168 [plugin] Native content returned None <- the same fact, twice
54 logger.info calls in plugin_adapter become logger.debug, along with the
per-frame scroll-progress line in scroll_helper. Together those are 3,174 of
the 13,408 lines an hour, a 23% cut, and the ~3,600 odds-manager lines are
addressed separately by ledmatrix-plugins#300.
Nothing is lost: the 19 warning/error/exception calls in the module are
untouched, so real failures still surface at their own level. This is a
logging-level change only -- no control flow, no behaviour.
One INFO call is deliberate and stays. The padding-strip message picks its
level at runtime (`logger.warning if (left and right) else logger.info`) and
test_vegas_plugin_adapter.py pins that choice; it survives because it is not a
direct logger.info call site. That test still passes.
Mutation-checked both ways: reintroducing a single INFO trace fails the guard,
and demoting the warning/error calls along with the trace fails a second guard
written for exactly that mistake. 537 vegas and scroll tests pass.
The 3.2.0 section described the unified sports library but none of the
install-path work that landed in #428 and #431 -- which matters more than a
normal changelog omission, because the sunset rule keys on this section to
tell plugin authors what a given floor buys them.
The headline addition: 3.2.0 is the first release that *enforces*
ledmatrix_min_version. Before it the floor was advisory, so a plugin could
declare one and still be delivered to a core that could not run it. That is
the property B6 waits on, and it is now stated where a plugin author will
look for it -- along with the caveat that a core reporting below 2.0.0 is
treated as unknown rather than old and is never blocked.
Also records compatibility.py (and that it does not yet read
compatible_versions), check_release_version.py and its workflow, the
install-preservation fix, the reentrant-lock deadlock fix, and the
web_interface version re-export.
No version bump: 3.2.0 is unreleased, so this describes the release being
cut rather than a new one.
