ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 ee789775b4 perf(install): build rpi-rgb-led-matrix with a faster SetImage (#736)
first_time_install.sh applies patches/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/0001-bulk-setimage.patch just before building the Python binding and reverts it afterwards (and from the EXIT trap), so the submodule stays at its pinned commit. The patch copies each image row with one bulk FrameCanvas::SetPixels call and writes the bit planes branch-free: on a 512x64 Pi 4 the frame copy went from 6.57 ms to 2.21 ms. A patch that no longer applies is reported and skipped. Existing installs get it on a rebuild (RPI_RGB_FORCE_REBUILD=1).

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 05deb1ee7d feat(install): support Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm (Python 3.11) alongside Trixie (3.13) (#689)
The installer and scripts/check_system_compatibility.sh share one set of OS rules (scripts/install/lib_os.sh): Bookworm (Debian 12, Python 3.11) and Trixie (Debian 13, Python 3.13) are supported, python3 older than 3.11 stops the install before anything changes, and dhcpcd gets a warning with directions. setcap targets /usr/bin/python3, the apt fallback honours the requirement floors, and the desktop check no longer misreads under pipefail. CI runs the unit and plugin-safety suites on 3.11 and 3.13 (tooling jobs on 3.13); mypy targets 3.11.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f841fa36b6 feat(install): updates refresh systemd units; new installs run the newest release (#729)
Updates that move HEAD now install changed systemd units through a root-owned helper (/usr/local/sbin/ledmatrix-refresh-units, two literal sudo lines), with a backup restored on rollback; a refresh that fails part-way puts the old units back. Devices without the new sudo rule keep updating and are told to re-run the installer once. The one-shot installer now checks out the newest vX.Y.Z release (LEDMATRIX_CHANNEL=beta keeps main) and never moves an existing checkout backwards.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 515248b34e feat(ipc): control socket stage 3 - a state stream replaces polled cache keys (#735)
Adds state.get / state.subscribe to the display's control socket (StateHub in src/ipc/server.py). The web interface holds one subscription per process (web_interface/display_state.py) and reads current-status, on-demand status, plugin runtime and /health's display_loop from it, falling back to the cache keys and heartbeat file. While the socket serves readers, display_current_state and plugin_runtime_snapshot are written less often (about 1.5 instead of 5 cache writes a minute for 15 s screens).

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 6bf7c3fa51 perf(layout): id-keyed fit_image cache entries no longer pin the source (#732)
LayoutContext.fit_image keyed images without a cache_key by id() and held
a strong reference to the source so the id could not be recycled. A
plugin following the documented one-liner -- draw_image(Image.open(path),
box) each frame -- never hit that cache and kept the last 64 sources
alive: ~64MB for 500x500 RGBA team logos (median size under
assets/sports), up to ~600MB for the largest.

The entry now holds a weak reference whose callback drops it when the
source is freed, and a hit re-checks that the referent is the same
image. Sources that cannot be weak-referenced are still pinned. Keyed
entries (the only kind any plugin on ledmatrix-plugins main uses today:
football-scoreboard's logo fit) are unchanged.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 76ad71d1c5 fix(frame-timing): keep the GC monitor quiet at interpreter shutdown (#734)
A collection during interpreter shutdown called GcMonitor after the
module's `time` global was torn down, printing "Exception ignored while
calling GC callback ... 'NoneType' object has no attribute
'perf_counter'" at the end of service and test runs.

- GcMonitor binds its clock and sys.is_finalizing at construction and
  does nothing once the interpreter is finalizing.
- install_gc_monitor() unregisters it with atexit; new
  uninstall_gc_monitor().
- DisplayManager.cleanup() (reached from SIGTERM via run()'s finally)
  unregisters it alongside the frame recorder.

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 5aa7a63127 feat(timing): time garbage-collection pauses in the frame stats (#722)
A GcMonitor in src/common/frame_timing.py, installed once per process from gc.callbacks by the display manager (and render_bench), counts collections and seconds per generation, the longest, and those of 20 ms or more. A long one tags the next presented frame 'gc' in record(), so frame_soak shows its late rate under 'after work'; the stats file gains an additive 'gc' block printed as a 'Garbage collection' line; and a Render stall dump says when a long collection ran inside the stall. Diagnostic only: nothing tunes, freezes or disables the collector.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 85be4bf25d fix(display): end the scroll before the schedule-off blank and WiFi notice (#721)
The schedule-off blank and the WiFi notice are drawn by the display controller, not dispatched to a plugin, so #716's handover never reached them. Drawn while the last scroll's state was still set, the blank went out with the ticker's lagging rows on a scan-compensated panel and stayed up for its 60 s dwell, and the notice's redraws (which #712 now shows over a running scroller or Vegas) were timed as 0.5-1 s freezes and logged as a mid-scroll Render stall. The controller now calls set_scrolling_state(False) before drawing either; a scroller that resumes sets the state again on its next frame.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 0e78e06eb9 perf(sports): reuse an unchanged scroll strip at the start of a turn (#719)
A scoreboard in scroll mode no longer redraws every card at the start of a recent/upcoming turn whose games have not changed (~1.4 s for seven football cards at 192x48 on a Pi 4, with the render thread waiting). SportsScrollDisplayManager keeps one display per slate (game type + leagues; up to 4 per game type, at most 6 MB per plugin of strips not on screen) and rewinds the strip it built last time when its games, rankings, config, panel size and date are unchanged and it is under 10 minutes old. First turns, changed slates, live strips and empty turns are drawn as before; get_scroll_display() still answers with the strip on screen.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f72d69c2b0 perf(display): skip preview work nobody reads (lazy checksum, 1 Hz snapshot writer) (#717)
Mid-scroll, update_display() no longer checksums every frame: it asks is_currently_scrolling() once per frame and reuses the answer, hashes only when dirty tracking can skip a static frame, and the preview snapshot asks its policy first and hashes only when a write or touch could follow (decide() is monotone, pinned by a property test). With the preview open the snapshot is written at most once a second (VIEWER_INTERVAL 1.0 s, was 0.2 s; the SSE stream re-read it once a second, so four encodes in five went unread); the stream now polls its mtime every 0.25 s (VIEWER_POLL_INTERVAL), so the preview stays about as fresh. The PNG is written at compress_level=1. --preview soaks are not comparable across this change.

Merged with #716: _scan_segments takes the frame's one scrolling answer and #716's static-handover pass-through, as soaked on ledpi (A B B A, 20 min each: main 0.118% / 0.113% late, with #716 and this 0.107% / 0.104%).

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f5793e2134 perf(common): rasterize outlined text once instead of nine times (#718)
New draw_text_outlined(draw, xy, text, font, fill, outline_color=(0, 0, 0), offsets=OUTLINE_SQUARE) in src/common/text_helper.py, with OUTLINE_SQUARE and OUTLINE_CROSS. It rasterizes the string once and stamps the mask at each outline offset instead of one draw.text per offset: the same pixels as the nine-draw loop (an equivalence sweep across the bundled fonts, image and font modes, colours and positions pins it, on Windows and Linux), about 8x faster per outlined string. Fractional coordinates, multiline text, fonts other than a plain FreeTypeFont, other image modes and a replaced draw.text take the old loop. SportsCoreSharedMixin._draw_text_with_outline and TextHelper.draw_text_with_outline draw through it; the scoreboards' own game_renderer loops adopt it in a ledmatrix-plugins change after a core release.

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 41db488c73 fix(display): schedule windows end at the end time; on-demand ending in off hours blanks at once (#714)
Schedule and dim windows are half-open [start, end): on from the start time, off at exactly the end time, whatever second the check runs. An on-demand session that ends in scheduled-off hours (expiry or stop) clears the once-a-minute schedule gate, so the panel blanks within about a second. Golden: schedule; two test_display_pending_changes.py tests now say end_time 23:00.

Merged with #712 and #713: with all three in, docs/RUN_LOOP_REDESIGN.md's 'may be wrong' list is empty, so that section now records that all six items are fixed and by which PR.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 77e0ea91ae fix(display): live games take over within a second, and straight from Vegas (#713)
A game that goes live takes over within about a second (_check_live_takeover in the frame loops and the dwell sleep, throttled to 1 s, never during on-demand, scheduled-off, live_in_ticker or an already-live screen); an interrupted Vegas iteration switches straight to the game; has_live_content() is asked once per plugin per scan. Goldens: live_priority, vegas.

Merged with #712: after an interrupted Vegas iteration the WiFi-notice check runs before the live switch (WiFi outranks live). Adds test/test_run_loop_wifi_and_live.py, pinning that a notice and a game arriving during the same screen (1 Hz, 125 Hz, Vegas) show the notice first, then the game, and neither while scheduled off.

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 Sonnet 5.5 eb8128a981 feat(display): cancel the half-panel scan offset on slower, held-frame scrolls (#711)
Scan-order compensation only ran at one frame per refresh, so a crisp scroll
like 60 px/s on a 120 Hz panel (1px every 2 refreshes) showed a half-pixel
step across the middle of the panel. A held frame is now presented as a
sequence of swaps (scan_order.refresh_plan): the lagging half shows the
previous frame for its first refresh and the new one for the rest, so it
steps one refresh after the rest. Skipped when a blit takes over half a
refresh, since the second blit has to land before the next vsync.

Soaked on ledpi (60 px/s, 120 Hz): 0.16% late frames, as before the change.

* feat(scroll): show which scroll speeds are smooth on this panel

The Vegas Scroll Speed slider now says what the panel will do with the
chosen speed and offers the nearest smooth ones to click. Backed by
scroll_config.speed_advice() and GET /api/v3/config/scroll-speed-advice,
which uses the refresh the display measured rather than the cap.

Also stops the default 50 px/s snapping to a stepped 48 px/s (2px every 5
refreshes, 24fps) on a 120Hz panel: the low-fps penalty in solve_crisp()
now loses to 60 or 40 px/s. 100Hz panels are unchanged.

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

* fix(scroll): hint threw before its timer variables existed; count 25-30fps as stepped

The Vegas speed hint called refreshScrollSpeedHint() before the let
declarations it uses, so it never rendered (found on ledpi). And the
solver's low-fps penalty stopped at 25fps, which let a measured 125.7Hz
panel keep a 25.1fps 2px-every-5-refreshes scroll.

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.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 695ff92009 feat(ipc): display control socket, stage 1 - on-demand with acks (#706)
The display serves a control socket (/run/ledmatrix/control.sock) carrying versioned JSON commands, one per line, each answered. Stage 1 covers on-demand start, stop and status; commands are queued on the socket thread and applied on the render thread through the mailbox's own handler, and the web interface falls back to the file mailbox when the socket is unavailable. Protocol and security model: docs/IPC_CONTROL_SOCKET.md.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 74696d2108 fix(display): routine rotation log lines are DEBUG (30% fewer journal lines) (#693)
"Processing mode", "display() returned False" and "No content to display" repeated what "Switching to mode" already logs on every rotation; they are now DEBUG. On ledpi this cut the display's journal lines by about 30%; the measured SD-write saving is small (within noise).

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 795834811f perf(scroll): extend and trim the Vegas strip in place (#701)
* 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().

* feat(vegas): keep live games in the ticker by default

display.vegas_scroll.live_in_ticker now defaults to true: through a live
game the marquee keeps running and the live scoreboard takes extra turns in
it -- its cards updating in place while they scroll -- instead of the ticker
giving way to the full-screen scoreboard.

The new default would reach nobody on its own: every existing config holds
an explicit false copied from the template (there was no control for it),
and the template merge only adds missing keys. ConfigManager therefore turns
a stored false on once, with a backup, and records live_in_ticker_migrated
so a false chosen afterwards stays. The marker is never in the template.

A "Keep live games in the ticker" checkbox under Vegas mode sets it. Tests
that pin the full-screen takeover now say live_in_ticker=false.

* feat(dev): preview a plugin's Vegas strip in the dev server

The dev server's View selector gains "Vegas strip (live elements)" and
"Vegas strip (plain Vegas content)": the plugin's block of the Vegas ticker,
laid out by the ticker's own code (render_vegas_strip, as render_plugin.py
--vegas uses), with its live elements listed. /api/render takes
"vegas": "live" | "plain"; the display view is unchanged.

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

* perf(scroll): extend and trim the Vegas strip in place

Every strip extension rebuilt the whole strip (np.concatenate: 2-2.6 ms for
a 10-14k px strip at 512x64 on a Pi 4) and every trim copied what was left
(1.2-1.8 ms), on the render thread. With ~4 ms of slack per refresh, every
extension frame on hdpi missed its refresh (5/5 in each soak run).

The strip now lives in a buffer with spare room; cached_array is a view of
its live columns. An append writes only the new columns (~0.2 ms), a trim
only moves the view's start, and the one full copy happens when the buffer
is reallocated (STRIP_SPARE_FACTOR 3: about once every two strip-lengths
scrolled). A cached_array set from outside -- the multi-display follower's
read-only one, create_scrolling_image's -- is never written through, and a
new strip lets the old buffer go. last_copy_bytes says what was copied, and
the Vegas frame-timing attribution reports that instead of the whole strip.

test_scroll_helper_in_place.py: the buffer is reused and only new columns
copied, trims copy nothing, reallocation when the room runs out, outside
arrays untouched, and random appends/trims/patches/scrolling checked frame
by frame against the old copying strip (mutation-checked).

* 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.

* 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.

* perf(vegas): lay a group's blocks out before the extension, off the render thread

#701 cut the strip copy, but the frame after an extension was still late:
the render thread also joined each plugin's rows (separation_gap measures
every pair) and pasted the blocks into an addition image, ~37 ms on hdpi
(Pi 4, 512x64) against ~3.75 ms of slack.

The thread that fetched the group now does that as each member arrives:
RenderPipeline.prepare_group_member joins the rows and turns the block into
pixels (the prefetch thread and the live worker, under the render gate).
extend_scroll_content takes those blocks, and ScrollHelper.append_content
writes items -- images or RGB arrays -- straight into the strip's spare room,
blanking only the gaps. A member that was not prepared (an inline fetch) is
joined at the extension as before; the strip is identical either way.

On hdpi the extension's render-thread work goes from 37.5 ms to 3.2 ms p50
in place (6.9 ms when the buffer is reallocated). The helper's per-append
INFO line, a duplicate of the pipeline's, is now DEBUG.

* 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().

* feat(vegas): keep live games in the ticker by default

display.vegas_scroll.live_in_ticker now defaults to true: through a live
game the marquee keeps running and the live scoreboard takes extra turns in
it -- its cards updating in place while they scroll -- instead of the ticker
giving way to the full-screen scoreboard.

The new default would reach nobody on its own: every existing config holds
an explicit false copied from the template (there was no control for it),
and the template merge only adds missing keys. ConfigManager therefore turns
a stored false on once, with a backup, and records live_in_ticker_migrated
so a false chosen afterwards stays. The marker is never in the template.

A "Keep live games in the ticker" checkbox under Vegas mode sets it. Tests
that pin the full-screen takeover now say live_in_ticker=false.

* 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 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.

* docs(changelog): note the frame-op attribution and bench modes

* 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.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 7804ea8f69 feat(update): stable/beta update channel; stable follows release tags (#684)
Adds auto_update.channel: stable follows the newest vX.Y.Z release tag
(detached HEAD; pre-releases and other tags ignored), beta follows main as
before. Nothing ever moves a device backwards: a checkout newer than the
newest release keeps following main (or stays put when detached) until a
release contains its commit. Legacy configs migrate to stable when they
reach a release. Update Code, the weekly updater's preflight, and the
verifier's rollback (back to old_ref: branch or detached release) all
honour the channel. General tab Update Channel select, GET/POST
/api/v3/system/update-channel, release-aware Overview banner and Tools git
panel. New installs default to stable.

Rig fix (ledpi): /system/check-update reports update_available: false when
the channel's action is none (a detached HEAD newer than the newest
release), matching Update Code; the Tools panel no longer calls every
detached HEAD "a release".

Merged with main through #687 (heartbeat verifier, #683 login, #688
plugin_catalog, #685 Tailwind build).

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

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 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'

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 15c61def67 fix(web): make the SSE streams' 200/min rate limit actually apply (#691)
app.py called limiter.limit("200 per minute")(stream_x) after the routes
were registered and discarded the result. flask-limiter 3.x enforces a
decorated limit in the wrapper limit() returns, and marks the original
function so the before_request middleware skips it, so the streams had
no limit at all -- not even the 1000/min default. Register the wrapper
as the view instead.

The new test (skipped without flask-limiter) reconnects to each stream
201 times and expects the last to get a 429; it fails on the old code.

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.

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.

* 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 6047eb5e4e test: stop the suite reinstalling plugins into the real plugin-repos/ (#679)
Any test that imported web_interface.app and sent a request fired the app's
startup reconciliation, which runs against the checkout's real config.json
and plugin-repos/ and reinstalls every configured-but-missing plugin from the
live store. A full Windows run left basketball-scoreboard, calendar,
football-scoreboard, leaderboard and ledmatrix-stocks untracked in
plugin-repos/ (not gitignored) from that daemon thread.

test/conftest.py now installs an import hook that sets the app's run-once
_reconciliation_started latch as the module finishes executing, so lazy
imports, module-level imports and reloads all start disarmed.
StateReconciliation's own tests are unaffected. A regression test pins that
a request to the imported app launches no reconciliation thread.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 1e4c890d59 feat(common): sports_celebration, sports_fetch and sports_card_wrappers, promoted from the scoreboards (sports consolidation stage 3) (#672)
Three new hardware-free modules holding code the scoreboard plugins carry
as identical copies (executable AST, docstrings stripped, checked across
every carrying plugin at ledmatrix-plugins 30455671). The bodies are the
plugins'; the changes are type annotations for the mypy ratchet, the
colour helpers losing their leading underscore as public free functions,
and two comments that described the plugins' files.

- src/common/sports_celebration.py: SportsCelebrationMixin, the score/win
  takeover drawn by afl, football, hockey, nrl and soccer
  (_draw_celebration_layout and the palette, backdrop, scenery, confetti,
  crest and _fit_font steps, with their class constants), plus the colour
  helpers (logo_palette, lift_color, cap_luminance, mix_color, ...). Only
  the drawing: _start_celebration, _check_for_goal/_check_for_score,
  _check_for_win and display() differ between the plugins and stay there.
- src/common/sports_fetch.py: SportsFetchMixin, the four SportsCore methods
  identical in all nine scoreboards: _fetch_season_directly,
  _background_fetches_espn_ranges, _needs_previous_day and
  _wants_live_odds, with _LOOKBACK_CUTOFF_HOUR and _LIVE_ODDS_LOOKAHEAD.
  _get_timezone, _extract_game_details and _fetch_data are as identical
  and stay behind, for the reasons sports_shared gives (a per-plugin
  import; the abstract contract); so does SportsUpcoming.__init__, since
  no src/common mixin has a constructor.
- src/common/sports_card_wrappers.py: SportsCardWrappersMixin, the
  seventeen sports_card delegations the eight game renderers carry (15 in
  all eight, 2 in all but football, whose own versions override them).
  _schema_font_size/_resolve_font_size look identical but read each
  plugin's own _SCHEMA_PATH, so they stay.

Each mixin has no __init__ and creates no attributes (the host contract is
declared as annotations only), defines no name the mixins beside it
define, and documents the attributes it reads; a host-contract test
parses each and fails on an undocumented read. A method kept on a
plugin's class wins over the mixin's.

Tests: behaviour ported from the plugins' celebration, odds, lookback and
date-range tests against stub hosts carrying exactly the contract, with
crests drawn by the test (test_sports_celebration.py, test_sports_fetch.py,
test_sports_card_wrappers.py), and test_sports_stage3_parity.py, which with
LEDMATRIX_PLUGINS set compares every body with every plugin copy that is
left (58 pass against the plugins today; a copy that is gone counts as
adopted). All three modules are on the mypy ratchet, in
src/common/README.md, the CHANGELOG's Unreleased section and
SPORTS_UNIFICATION's module table. Nothing in core uses them yet.

Full suite: the same 67 failing test ids as main (Windows-only), 77 more
passing.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 439013b18c fix(common): favourite check no longer calls the Europa League finished between matchdays (#670)
On 2026-09-29 ESPN's uefa.europa scoreboard still showed the 17 September
matchday, so every event was past. Its calendar is a "list" of rounds
(League Phase to 30 Jan 2027, then the knockout rounds to the final), not
a match-day whitelist, and the league's season type is a soccer id rather
than 2/3, so neither 3.6.1 rule applied and the check said the season had
finished.

When every event is past, a round in a list calendar that has not started
yet now draws no conclusion. Only a round's start date counts: end dates
are padded past the last game (AFL's Grand Final round still had a day to
run three days after the Grand Final), and rounds in an offseason phase
(college football's All-Star week) are skipped. Season end dates are still
ignored, so PLL (season to 2027-01-01) stays "finished", as do the World
Cup and AFL. Of 28 live ESPN scoreboards only uefa.europa's message changes.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 db49275075 fix(common): favourite check no longer calls a started postseason a finished season (#667)
* fix(common): favourite check no longer calls a started postseason a finished season

The day after a regular season ends, ESPN's default scoreboard still
returns that last regular-season day, while leagues[0].season has moved
to Postseason. All events were in the past, so the check logged "the
season has finished" for MLB on 2026-09-29 while the upcoming manager in
the same process was showing TB's wild-card games.

When every event is past and the league is in a later in-season phase
(regular season or postseason) than all of the returned events, draw no
conclusion. The offseason is excluded, so a genuinely finished season is
still reported as finished.

* fix(common): favourite check reports the next matchday between soccer rounds

Between matchdays ESPN's soccer scoreboard keeps showing the last one, so
every event is in the past and in the league's current phase, which the
postseason rule does not cover; the check said the Premier League season
had finished on 2026-09-29 (last games 20 September, next 10 October).
When the league calendar is a "day" whitelist, its entries are days with
games, so a future one is used as the next fixture. MLB's day calendar is
a blacklist and is not read that way; PLL's whitelist has no future days
and is still reported as finished.

* feat(common): favorite_team_check and sports_timezone, promoted from the scoreboards (sports consolidation stage 2)

Two new hardware-free modules, taken from files the scoreboard plugins carry
as copies:

- src/common/favorite_team_check.py: FavoriteTeamCheck(logger, leagues), the
  seven byte-identical <sport>_favorite_check.py copies. Same code; the only
  additions are two type annotations (for the mypy ratchet).
- src/common/sports_timezone.py: resolve_timezone_name(), resolve_timezone(),
  system_timezone_name(), from the ten <sport>_timezone.py copies. They
  differed only in the plugin label named in the nothing-resolved warning and
  the write-back-bug values, which become keyword-only arguments
  (plugin_label, writeback_fixed_in). Same resolution order and log text.

Tests are ported from the plugins' own (test_favorite_check.py,
test_schedule_note_uses_game_dates.py, test_timezone_resolution.py; the
timezone ones run once per plugin's values and pin the exact warning text).
Both modules are on the mypy ratchet, in src/common/README.md, the CHANGELOG's
Unreleased section and SPORTS_UNIFICATION's module table. Nothing in core uses
them yet.

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 e6e0a16140 ci: run the web UI DOM test suites; fix two stale suites (#660)
A new "Web UI JS tests" job installs jsdom, starts the web interface in
emulator mode and runs test/js/run_all.js with REQUIRE_DOM=1, which makes a
DOM suite that can't run a failure rather than a silent skip. (The unit
suites were already covered through pytest.)

Two suites failed against main when run for real:
- test_tools_sections rendered the Tools partial without LEDEscape, which
  base.html's app-early.js defines; it now installs it in beforeParse, and
  supplies two sample Starlark apps (one id with a quote) when the server
  has none, instead of assuming a device with apps and Pixlet.
- test_store_dom assumed the live registry had at most 48 plugins; it now
  checks pagination whichever side of 48 it is.

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.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 d469fe39d2 fix(odds): don't return the cached no-odds marker as odds (#662)
A game ESPN had no odds for is cached as {"no_odds": True}, so it isn't
re-requested on every update. On the next update get_odds() returned that
marker from the cache as if it were odds: a truthy dict that callers took
to mean the game had some. It's still a cache hit (its ttl decides when to
ask again), but get_odds() now returns None for it -- on the cache hit and
in the stale-cache fallback after a failed fetch -- as the plugins' bundled
copies already did.

* refactor(web): split api_v3/plugins.py by area

web_interface/blueprints/api_v3/plugins.py (3,285 lines) becomes:
- plugins.py: installed list, enable/disable, plugin actions
- plugin_store.py: install, update, uninstall, store, saved repositories
- plugin_config.py: config get/save, schema, reset
- plugin_assets.py: asset uploads and plugin static files
- plugin_health.py: health, metrics, limits
- plugin_operations.py: operation history, state reconciliation
- plugin_calendar.py: calendar credentials and auth

Pure move: all 44 functions and 38 route decorators are byte-identical
(checked with ast), URLs and endpoint names are unchanged (url-map test).
Each module imports only what it uses. Tests and config.py that reached
into plugins.py for moved names now import from the new module.

* fix(web): keep exception text out of calendar responses; annotate moved code

The split made scanners report existing findings in the moved code as new:
- CodeQL: the calendar auth and calendar-list routes returned exception
  text (redacted, but still derived from the exception). Both now log the
  exception and return a fixed message pointing at the log.
- MD5 in the asset upload only makes a filename unique: usedforsecurity=False.
- pickle reads/writes the calendar plugin's own OAuth token (as before):
  annotated. Token-status labels and a log line naming the secrets path are
  false positives: annotated with the repo's nosec/nosemgrep convention.

* fix(web): name uploaded assets with SHA-256 instead of MD5

The hash only makes an uploaded image's filename unique. Codacy flags MD5
even with usedforsecurity=False, and SHA-256 does the job as well; existing
files keep their names.

* fix(web): keep the redacted exception detail in calendar errors

Reverts the calendar part of 5e695b7c. The project's policy
(test_no_api_v3_handler_discards_its_exception) is that an API error
carries the redacted exception detail -- describe_exception runs it
through the credential redactor -- so a failure is diagnosable from the web
UI. Dropping it for CodeQL broke that; CodeQL can't see the redaction, so
its two alerts here are false positives, like the existing ones on main.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 724673ba0b fix: one retry layer for background fetches; CI installs the web requirements; one Discord invite (#657)
- BackgroundDataService: the session adapter retried connection errors 3x
  inside each attempt of the service's own retry loop (up to 16 connection
  attempts per request on a dead network). The adapter no longer retries;
  ESPN date chunks, which bypass the loop and skip a failed chunk, get a
  small connection retry of their own (_ConnectionRetryingSession).
- CI installs web_interface/requirements.txt. The brotli header test now
  checks its intent (core never hand-sets br; requests may advertise it when
  a decoder is installed) instead of failing whenever brotli is present.
- Every Discord link uses the LEDMatrix server's invite (RdrC37rEag).

* fix(web): plugin dir resolver in routes, nmcli AP detection, daemon config reload, upload safety

- Route plugin lookups (installed list, update, recorded version, config
  form, web UI pages) through the plugin manager's resolver so plugins in
  ledmatrix-<id> directories work.
- Captive-portal detection also sees the nmcli fallback AP (cached).
- WiFi monitor daemon re-reads wifi_config.json when its mtime changes.
- Drop the AP check in disconnect_from_network that could never fire.
- LED status file per WiFiManager; config path falls back to this checkout.
- BDF font preview via src.common.bdf_font.
- Asset uploads validate every file before saving; metadata and calendar
  credentials written atomically; no absolute path in the response;
  asset delete answers 400 for a missing body.
- Coerce string booleans in plugin toggle, on-demand start and AP force.
- SSE broadcaster clears its thread handle before exiting.
- start.py log filter handles every exc_info form.
- Cleanups: unused plugins/fonts partial work, duplicate backup catch-alls,
  raw-config error helper, update-route tidy, redundant imports.

* fix(web): take the update route's plugin directory from a directory listing

CodeQL flagged the path built from the request's plugin_id (the id was
already validated with safe_path_component, which CodeQL doesn't model; the
same flow on main is alerts 738/739). The directory is now the entry of
plugins_dir matched by name, so nothing built from user input reaches the
filesystem; an id with nothing installed goes to the store manager, which
reports it not found as before.

* fix(web): read the blueprint's plugin_manager defensively in _plugin_directory

_get_plugin_version now goes through _plugin_directory, which read
api_v3.plugin_manager directly; the attribute exists only once the app sets
it, so test_path_traversal_guards::test_a_real_manifest_is_read failed
when run on its own (order-dependent in the full suite).

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 c00bf5e8e6 fix(plugin-system): unload/update race, failed-load cleanup, limits validation, schema lookup, install rollback (#653)
* 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.

- Fire-and-forget loadInstalledPlugins() calls catch the rejection it has

- Timezone picker renders again when the General partial is re-injected.
- Remove dead code: executePluginAction's six plugin-id fallbacks and
  [DEBUG] logging, window.currentPluginConfig and every read of it, the
  file-upload JSON delete branch, unused PluginAPI / PluginInstallManager /
  PluginStateManager helpers, loadPluginWidgetsFromManifest, the stale

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 65d82580bc test(starlark): cover the review fixes #535 shipped without tests (#650)
Six Starlark fixes are on main via #535 and #537, but a follow-up commit
carrying tests for half of them was pushed to fix/starlark-pixlet-install
six minutes after #535 merged, so those tests never landed. This ports
them onto the api_v3 package split:

- a failed toggle write answers 500, and a loaded app is not flipped in
  memory when the manifest write fails
- each manifest writer gets its own temp file; concurrent writes leave
  readable JSON; no temp files are left behind
- a failed dynamic import of tronbyte_repository / pixlet_renderer does
  not stay cached in sys.modules
- a failed save_config() leaves config and timing untouched and does not
  re-render; a successful save still applies

It also logs when the timing update to the manifest is not persisted.
_update_manifest_safe answers False rather than raising, so the existing
except branch never saw that failure.

* fix(core): font zip cache, monotonic timers, resolver back-off, and other core/common fixes

- font_manager: a .zip font URL is served as its extracted font after a
  restart (the cached-file check returned the archive first); downloads
  use requests with a 30s timeout into a temp file + os.replace.
- api_helper / sync_manager: rate-limit and heartbeat/leader timeouts use
  time.monotonic(); last_request_time and the status file's ts stay
  wall-clock. set_on_new_cycle docstring no longer claims core uses it.
- logo_helper: the placeholder uses the same scaled box as a real logo.
- permission_utils: one _sudo_bash_candidates() helper (with the sudoers
  exact-argv rationale) shared by sudo_remove_directory, which now retries
  the next bash path on a sudo refusal, and install_requirements_file.
- dynamic_team_resolver: failed/empty fetch backs off 5 min; duplicate
  INFO log and contradictory docstring example fixed.
- element_style: scale default looked up through element aliases.
- background_data_service: cache-hit callback runs outside the lock.
- config_arrays: union-aware type check (["array","null"]); stale
  dotToNested() reference removed.
- auto_update_setup: non-dict auto_update reads as off; temp result file
  unlinked when the write fails.
- exceptions: constructors copy the caller's context dict.
- logging_config: StructuredFormatter json.dumps(default=str).
- error_aggregator: removed unused export_path/export_to_file/_auto_export.
- Docstrings: validate_file_upload max_size_mb, raise_on_errors.

* fix(sync): retry the status-file rename like the other atomic writers

On Windows os.replace can fail with "Access is denied" while a scanner
briefly holds the target open; config_manager_atomic._replace already
retries that (and re-raises at once on other platforms). The sync status
writer called os.replace directly, which made
test_concurrent_writers_each_use_their_own_temp_file flaky on Windows.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 6f45ff5e63 fix(display): thread-safety for deferred updates, BDF faces and follower image; one refresh default (#652)
- DisplayManager.defer_update()/process_deferred_updates(): one lock around
  every queue mutation (appends from the update thread were lost to the
  render thread's filter/slice reassignments); callables run outside it.
- FontManager and element_style no longer cache BDF freetype.Face objects
  process-wide (load_bdf_face caches them per thread); element_style's LRU
  is locked against get/move_to_end vs eviction races.
- limit_refresh_rate_hz default is one constant, DEFAULT_REFRESH_LIMIT_HZ =
  100 (the template's), for the library options, refresh_hz, the matrix
  guard, Vegas and scroll_config. Previously a missing key capped the panel
  at 90 while pacing assumed 100.
- Sync follower: the TCP thread queues the leader's scroll image; the render
  thread swaps image/array/width in between frames.
- update_display() error log rate-limited (traceback first, then once a
  minute with a count); swallowed DisplayController exceptions log at DEBUG.
- Root display_controller.py runs run.py via runpy.
- stream_manager: correct the RLock release comments; merge duplicate if.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 1e62677257 fix(vegas): pause for STATIC plugins where their turn falls in the strip (#651)
The static trigger peeked at the front of StreamManager's segment buffer,
which continuous scrolling (the default) never advances -- it extends the
strip with take_next_group() -- so the same first segment was examined on
every frame. A STATIC plugin paused the scroll only if it was first, once,
at startup; otherwise it scrolled past as ordinary content. Swap mode had
the same problem for any STATIC plugin not first in its cycle.

The render pipeline now records a marker (strip column, plugin id) for
each STATIC plugin where the strip is built -- composition and every
extension -- shifts the markers when the scrolled prefix is trimmed, and
clears them on reset. The coordinator pauses when the scroll reaches the
next marker: a tuple comparison per frame instead of a lock, a plugin
lookup and a get_vegas_display_mode() call. take_next_group() no longer
renders STATIC plugins' content. The pause calls display() under the
plugin lock and is timed with the monotonic clock.

* fix(display): stop the run loop spinning when no mode has anything to show

A mode whose display() reports nothing rotates to the next at once, with no
dwell. With every enabled mode empty (only a sports plugin in its
off-season, say) the loop went round with no sleep: on ledpi, 169% CPU and
~1,800 "No content" log lines every 10 seconds. After one full rotation of
empty passes it now pauses EMPTY_ROTATION_PAUSE (1s) per pass, servicing
plugin updates and returning early on on-demand or schedule changes; live
priority is still checked at the top of every pass, and the streak resets
as soon as any mode shows something.

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

* fix(display): restart the loop if the empty-rotation pause starts on-demand; per-rotation streak

- an on-demand request serviced during the pause returned early into the
  on-demand branch, which advanced past the mode just requested; the loop
  now restarts when the pause changed the mode, on-demand state or schedule
- the streak is reset when the rotation changes (on-demand start/stop, a
  plugin enabled or disabled), so a streak from one rotation can't make
  another pause before its own modes are tried
- docstring: live content is picked up within the pause, not "at once"

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 76f5d8a336 fix(web): seven web UI bugs, and remove dead plugins_manager.js helpers (#647)
- Operation History: the plugin filter lists the installed plugin ids
  instead of one option, "plugins" (Object.keys of {plugins: [...]}).
- Ctrl/Cmd+S submits the active tab's first visible form with
  requestSubmit() (validation and onsubmit guards run) instead of a bare
  Event on the first form in the document; skipped inside a modal dialog
  and on tabs without a form.
- Overview "Check Updates" confirms like "Update Code", takes its button
  explicitly (no implicit global event) and shows the server's message.
  Both, and the Tools tab git pull, raise the restart-pending banner on
  restart_required.
- Tools: toolsAction and diagnostics show the server's error message;
  only a non-JSON body falls back to HTTP <status>.
- Installed list after uninstall: PluginAPI writes clear the throttler's
  GET cache, a forced loadInstalledPlugins clears it too, and the
  post-uninstall reload goes through refreshInstalledPlugins().
- Plugin widgets load from /static/plugin-widgets/ only (the other two
  paths have no route).
- Raw JSON editor escapes the parse error; slider escapes value/min/max/step.
- Removed the unreferenced array-of-objects and key-value helpers from
  plugins_manager.js, the textarea auto-resize and Ctrl+R handlers in
  app.js, and a redundant ?v= on the plugins_manager.js script tag.

- wifi: keep the "wrong_password:" prefix through the restore/AP fallback so
  the UI's incorrect-password prompt fires again.
- /plugins/installed returns the manifest's icon (string only).
- /starlark/apps/<id>/toggle coerces `enabled` and delegates to
  _toggle_starlark_app (disk before memory, no KeyError, "false" is false).
- /api/v3/ JSON GETs are sent Cache-Control: no-store; non-JSON keeps 5s.
- ScrollHelper.set_scrolling_image converts non-RGB input (alpha onto black);
  create/set_scrolling_image reset last_update_time like reset_scroll.
- LogoHelper backs off a failed download per path for
  MISSING_LOGO_RECHECK_SECONDS; cleared on invalidate/clear_cache.
- refresh_placeholder_timestamp saves atomically.
- FontManager.clear_cache / _clear_plugin_font_cache bump cache_generation.
- Odds manager: per-game logs to DEBUG; JSON decode error caught before
  RequestException (same cooldown).
- element_style mangled continuations; startup validator skips null plugin
  blocks and reuses the controller's discovery.
- src/common/README lists frame_timing, json_body, render_gate.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 6bc13a8934 fix(display): Vegas resumes after live priority, and six smaller runtime fixes (#644)
- Vegas: a live-priority pause was only lifted from inside run_frame(),
  which returns before that check while paused, so the ticker never came
  back until a restart. run_iteration() now resumes it (the controller
  only calls it when nothing preempts Vegas); start()/stop() clear the
  pause state. Iteration length is timed with the monotonic clock.
- Dim schedule: a per-day disabled day now updates the minute-gate cache,
  so brightness no longer flips back to dim within each minute.
- On-demand: a second request no longer overwrites the rotation resume
  index with the first request's mode.
- Render pipeline: reset() drops the prepared group and deferred queue,
  and a prefetch in flight across a reset discards its result.
- Sync: stop() removes the status file (and the controller's cleanup now
  calls it), standalone removes a stale one at startup, and writes use a
  unique mkstemp temp file.
- render_gate.swap_releases_gil() delegates to frame_timing.
- Stale docstrings/comments corrected.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 bcef1957a9 fix(security): refuse unsafe plugin ids, keep secrets private, validate request bodies (#643)
* 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.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5 c4927e82a3 fix(config): normalize nullable arrays and objects instead of refusing them (#642)
* fix(config): normalize nullable arrays and objects instead of refusing them

`element_style._nullable` widens every `customization.modes.<mode>` override
with 'null' so a blank means "inherit the base", which turns a colour declared
"array" into ["array", "null"]. `normalize_config_values` only knew how to
convert null/integer/number/boolean out of a union, so a valid [0, 249, 0]
matched nothing and logged

    Could not normalize field customization.modes.upcoming.odds_text.text_color:
    value=[0, 249, 0], type=<class 'list'>, schema_type=['array', 'null']

The warning was the harmless half. It `continue`d past the single-type handling
below, where `prop_type == 'array'` coerces items, so a nullable array never had
its items normalized while a plain one did. A form posts numbers as strings, so
["0", "249", "0"] survived to the validator and was rejected with "Expected type
integer, got str" -- setting a per-mode colour in the web UI failed outright.
Every per-mode override of a structural or string type was exposed, across all
eight scoreboard plugins, not only colours.

Re-enter the single-type handling with the matched member rather than bailing,
accept a string that matches, and warn only on a genuine mismatch so the
diagnostic still reaches the validator.

* fix(config): convert only integral numbers for integer array items

Review catch on the previous commit. Routing nullable arrays into the shared
item handling made its integer coercion reachable for them, and that coercion
called int(v) on any number: a client sending [2.5, 249, 0] for an RGB array
got 2 stored and a 200 back, so a wrong value was silently corrected into a
valid-looking one rather than refused.

Convert only genuinely integral values, at both the union-item and the plain
'array' item branch so the two cannot drift. A whole float -- 2.0, which is all
JSON can express for an integer -- still converts. This also settles an
inconsistency that predates the change: int('2.5') raises, so the string form
was always preserved and rejected while the numeric form was truncated.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 9964dd2183 feat(vegas): render plugin content off the render thread, and keep it off the GIL when the panel needs it (#630)
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%. See docs/OFFSCREEN_RENDERING.md.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 865d62f67b feat(display): compensate for the panel's scan order while scrolling (#634)
A 1:N-scan HUB75 panel lights the two rows either side of its middle at opposite ends of each refresh, so a scroll at one pixel per refresh shows a 1px step across the middle of every panel. While something scrolls at one frame per refresh, DisplayManager now shows the half whose seam row lights first one refresh behind the other (src/scan_order.py), which lines the two up again. Only for layouts whose row order is known; display.scan_order_compensation "off" disables it. Confirmed on hdpi before and after.

A stall watchdog logs the stacks behind any scroll held up for 250 ms or more (LEDMATRIX_STALL_WATCHDOG_MS lowers that). See docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md, "Soaking a rig".

Vegas scrolls a whole number of pixels per panel refresh, locked to SwapOnVSync, against the refresh the panel really holds (measured from swap gaps), instead of blending sub-pixel positions against the refresh cap. The web preview PNG is encoded off the render thread while scrolling, with writes ordered and retried. On hdpi, late frames fell from 6.3% to 0.7%. See docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 b9416ef803 fix(display): Vegas teardown and 240s default; remove dead Vegas buffer code (#637)
* fix(display): tear down Vegas mode on controller cleanup

DisplayController.cleanup() never called VegasModeCoordinator.cleanup(),
so the Vegas teardown (stop, pipeline/stream reset, adapter cache drop)
was unreachable. Call it before the display manager is cleaned up, and
skip it when Vegas was never created.

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

* fix(vegas): default max_cycle_duration to the documented 240s

The template, the web UI help, CONFIG_REFERENCE and the controller all
say 240, but the code defaulted to 600 in two places, so a config
without the key ran Vegas iterations 2.5x longer than documented.

from_config now falls back to the dataclass field defaults instead of
repeating each one, so the two copies can no longer drift, and the
controller's follower scroll-speed default reads VegasModeConfig's.

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

* fix(display): let run.py -d show display_manager's DEBUG output

display_manager pinned its logger to INFO at import, overriding the root
level, so debug mode never showed its DEBUG lines. Use get_logger() from
src.logging_config like the rest of the core and leave the level to the
logging setup.

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

* fix(display): run each startup validation check once

StartupValidator.validate_all() ran twice at boot, before and after the
plugin manager was created, so every config, cache, display and
systemd-unit warning was logged twice. The second pass now runs only the
plugin checks. Drop the commented-out raise_on_errors line.

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

* fix(vegas): one INFO line per plugin-list refresh

StreamManager logged "=" * 60 banners and a line per plugin (INCLUDED,
SKIPPED, FETCHING CONTENT, SEGMENT CREATED) at INFO on every refresh and
fetch, i.e. at each cycle start and every 30s. Log one INFO summary of
the rotation per refresh and move the per-plugin detail, the weighting
breakdown and "no content this cycle" to DEBUG (the adapter still warns
when every content path fails).

Also drop the check/cross marks from the controller's log messages.

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

* fix(vegas): drop the per-iteration static-mode plugin scan

run_iteration() rebuilt _static_mode_plugins on every iteration, asking
every plugin for its display mode and logging the set at INFO, but
nothing ever read it: static pauses are triggered by
_check_static_plugin_trigger() from the next segment. Delete it, the
coordinator's get_ordered_plugins() that only it used, and the
write-only _static_pause_plugin / _static_pause_start.

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

* fix(vegas): remove the staging buffer that was never filled

StreamManager and RenderPipeline carried a double-buffer design that
nothing used: _staging_buffer was only ever cleared or swapped, so
swap_buffers() never did anything and should_recompose()'s
staging_count > 0 branch was dead, and _active_scroll_image,
_staging_scroll_image, _is_rendering, _last_frame_time and
_frame_interval were written but never read. Delete the machinery and
rewrite the docstrings around what actually carries updates:
_pending_updates, consumed by process_updates() in swap mode and
invalidate_pending_updates() in continuous mode.

should_recompose() no longer builds a buffer-status dict every frame.

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

* refactor(display): tidy the display controller without changing behaviour

- Import VegasModeCoordinator locally instead of through module globals
  (there is no circular import to avoid).
- Drop hasattr() checks on attributes PluginManager.__init__ always sets
  (plugin_executor, plugin_last_update, get_plugin_lock,
  run_scheduled_updates*, stop_update_worker) and the dead "older
  manager" fallbacks; keep the health_tracker None checks, now via
  _health_tracker().
- Extract _display_once() for the per-frame display call both render
  loops copied, _advance_on_demand() for the two on-demand rotations,
  _reset_on_demand_fields() for the error and clear paths, and
  _timezone() / _in_window() for the two schedule checks.
- Remove always-true conditions and the unreachable non-plugin else
  branch in run(), and read _was_display_active / _last_published_mode /
  vegas_coordinator directly now that __init__ declares them.
- Declare the follower render state in __init__, name its tuning
  constants, add _follower_sign(), and share the 90/s sync send
  interval with the render pipeline (SYNC_SEND_INTERVAL).
- Delete history narration and the "Opt #N" labels, fix the comment
  that called _scroll_speed constant (hot reload updates it), and drop
  a startup timing log that measured nothing.
- render_pipeline / plugin_adapter: read display_manager.width/height
  as the properties they are, drop an empty TYPE_CHECKING block, an
  aliased threading import and a duplicated `if result and
  self.sync_manager:`.

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

* refactor(display): trim dead code from display_manager

- Add _new_canvas() for the image/draw/fontmode="1" setup that was
  copied six times.
- Call resolve_double_sided() and compose_pixel_mapper_config() directly
  instead of through a module alias and a passthrough method, and replace
  the comment that said the passthrough read class attributes.
- Delete the unused _initialized flag and _ORIENTATION_ROTATE_DEGREES
  alias (no core or monorepo reader; tests stop resetting the flag), the
  test pattern's unreachable no-matrix branch (it only runs once the
  matrix exists), `del old_image  # help GC` (a no-op on a local), a
  duplicated early return in process_deferred_updates, and stale
  comments.

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

* refactor(vegas): remove unread fields and test-only helpers, fix docstrings

- ContentSegment: drop total_width, fetched_at, is_stale, image_count and
  is_static, none of which is read.
- StreamManager: drop _current_index (never advanced) and the test-only
  get_all_content_for_composition() and has_pending_updates();
  VegasModeConfig: drop the test-only is_plugin_included().
- geometry.find_blank_cut() has had no production caller since the crop
  moved to item boundaries; delete it and its tests.
- PluginAdapter: the _finalize docstring described separator_width
  between every image, and _crop_to_budget's said cuts snap to the
  nearest blank column; both now describe what the code does.
- Coordinator: the static-pause interrupt log no longer blames follower
  mode for every interrupt, and set_update_callback names the callback
  the controller actually wires.

* refactor(scroll): correct ScrollHelper comments and drop dead branches

- Four comments said the strip always starts with display_width of
  blank; it does only when lead_gap is None (Vegas passes its own).
- Delete the "Width calculation mismatch" warning: the image is created
  at the calculated width, so the two can never differ.
- Remove the two scroll_delay <= 0 fallbacks (which disagreed with each
  other): set_scroll_delay clamps it to at least 0.001 and nothing in
  core or the plugin monorepo assigns it directly.
- Trim the scipy history from the blend docstring.

* refactor(run): drop a redundant comment

* fix(display): log set_scrolling_state only when it changes

Vegas and scrolling plugins set the scrolling state every frame, so once
display_manager's DEBUG output became visible in debug mode it printed
"Scrolling state set to: True" about 120 times a second. Log only when
the value differs from the previous one; the state, activity timestamp
and frame hold still update on every call.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 f6afbdbb15 fix(web): Cache/Logs error mix-up, store errors, tab fallbacks; remove ~2.5k lines of dead JS (#639)
* fix(web): keep Cache and Logs helpers out of each other's way

Both partials declared top-level showError and escapeHtml. Their scripts
run at global scope after every HTMX swap, so whichever tab was opened
last owned window.showError, and a Cache failure after visiting Logs
rendered into the Logs panel (and the other way round). Each script is
now an IIFE; Cache still exports deleteCacheFile for its row buttons.

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

* fix(web): make the HTMX-failure fallbacks for tab panels actually run

- The "HTMX never loaded" fallback read appElement.__x.$data, which is
  Alpine 2. The page ships Alpine 3, so the check was always false and
  the Overview never loaded without HTMX. It now reads Alpine.$data().
- The Overview and WiFi panels used hx-on::htmx:response-error, which
  htmx expands to "htmx:htmx:response-error", an event that never fires.
- loadTabContent sent requests with <body> as the source, so htmx fired
  its events on <body> and no panel's hx-on handler ran at all. The
  panel is now the source. htmx also resolves its promise on a 4xx/5xx,
  and the panel was stamped data-loaded anyway, leaving a skeleton that
  never retried; it is now stamped only when no responseError fired.

loadPluginsDirect, loadOverviewDirect and loadWifiDirect are merged into
one window.loadPartialDirect(id, url), which also runs the partial's
inline scripts before Alpine sees the markup (as htmx-config.js does on
htmx:afterSwap). The ~10 s "htmx never arrived" path in loadTabContent
uses it for every tab instead of four hard-coded ones.

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

* fix(web): store and registry failures no longer wipe the Plugin Manager

showError replaced the whole #plugins-content with an error message, so
one failed store search, custom-registry install or saved-repository
call took the installed list, the store and every control with it, with
no way back short of reloading the tab. Those failures are now error
notifications. The full-panel message is kept only for a first load of
the installed list that failed (nothing to show yet); a failed refresh
of an already-rendered list is a notification too. showSuccess's
fallback branch, which wrote the message into innerHTML unescaped, is
gone: showNotification always exists.

The "Please try refreshing your browser" hint tested for the text
"Failed to Fetch", which no browser produces (Chrome says "Failed to
fetch", Firefox "NetworkError..."), so it never appeared. It now keys on
the failure itself: a TypeError from fetch(), or PluginAPI's
NETWORK_ERROR wrapper around one.

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

* fix(web): escape plugin action and install output on every path

executePluginAction escaped data.message and data.output when an action
failed but put data.message straight into innerHTML when it succeeded,
and set the OAuth step-2 button's innerHTML from the manifest's
step2_button_text. Plugin actions run plugin code, so that is plugin- or
server-controlled markup in the page. Both paths now escape, and the
button label is set with textContent.

The same pattern sat in the install-from-GitHub-URL status lines
(plugin_id, the server's message, and error.message, which can echo a
repository URL) and the custom-registry load error; those are escaped
too.

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

* fix(web): file-upload widget owns the image list and schedule editor

plugins_manager.js loads after the widget bundle, so its older copies of
deleteUploadedFile, updateImageList, hideUploadProgress, formatDate,
openImageSchedule, toggleImageScheduleEnabled, updateImageSchedule{Mode,
Time,Day} and updateCheckboxGroupData replaced the widget's. They are
deleted; the widget files are the only definitions.

Before switching over, the two sets were diffed and fixed so nothing
regresses:

- The old copy labelled the schedule/delete buttons for screen readers
  and lazy-loaded thumbnails; the widget now does both.
- The schedule button did nothing on a card rendered by
  plugin_config.html whenever the image id is a UUID (every upload): the
  template turns "-" into "_" in the editor's id, and neither JS copy
  did. Both now use the template's rule.
- The widget's "keep the open editor open" copied the editor's innerHTML
  into the new list. That dropped its event listeners and showed the old
  values, so after the first change the editor looked live but ignored
  input. A schedule edit now saves to the hidden input and updates the
  card's summary in place without re-rendering the list; a list re-render
  (upload, delete) rebuilds an open editor from the data. Editor controls
  are routed by one delegated change listener, so there are no
  per-element listeners to lose.
- The old deleteUploadedFile had a JSON branch that removed a
  #file_<id> element and skipped the re-render. No template or script
  renders such an element, and JSON uploads are listed through
  updateImageList like images, so re-rendering (the widget's behaviour) is
  the consistent one; the branch was not carried over.
- The template always renders the summary line (".image-schedule-summary",
  "Always shown" when unscheduled) so an edit has a line to update.

The inline-handler test evaluated plugins_manager.js's updateImageList;
test_file_upload_widget.js now covers the widget's list and editor.

* refactor(web): delete the unused handleCredentialsUpload

Its last caller went when plugin_config.html switched credential uploads
to the file-upload widget's handleSingleFileSelect. Nothing in the web
UI, the tests or the plugin monorepo references it.

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

* refactor(web): delete dead and shadowed front-end code

Nothing calls any of these (checked across web_interface/, test/ and the
ledmatrix-plugins monorepo, including hx-*/x-*/onclick attributes):

- app-shell.js: the Alpine methods refreshPlugins (it called a
  nonexistent this.searchPluginStore), loadPluginConfig,
  savePluginConfig, getSchemaPropertyType, escapeCssSelector,
  formatCommitInfo and formatDateInfo, and the top-level copies of
  savePluginConfig, getSchemaPropertyType, escapeCssSelector,
  formatCommitInfo, formatDateInfo and togglePluginFromTab. Plugin config
  forms save through hx-post in plugin_config.html.
- window.reconnectSSE (app-shell.js); window.updateArrayTableAddButtonState
  (array-table.js).
- toggleNestedSection, defined twice (app-shell.js and
  plugins_manager.js) and called from nowhere.
- plugins_manager.js: the window.initializePlugins wrapper around an
  IIFE-local origInit that was always undefined, and __pluginDomReady,
  which was written but never read.
- display.html's fixInvalidNumberInputs fallback: app-shell.js defines it
  before any partial loads.
- base.html's window.loadCodeMirror and the two CodeMirror stylesheet
  preloads, and the .CodeMirror rules in plugins.html. The raw JSON
  editor is a plain textarea.

Also deleted: app-shell.js definitions that a later script always
replaced, so they never ran: executePluginAction (plugins_manager.js
assigns its own), uninstallPlugin and its pollUninstallOperation
(plugins_manager.js), and updateAllPlugins (install_manager.js).

vendor/codemirror stays: test/test_web_smoke.py still requests
codemirror.min.js as a sample static asset.

* refactor(web): call showNotification without checking it exists

app-shell.js defines window.showNotification (a stand-in that queues
until the notification widget loads) and base.html runs it, deferred,
before every other script that notifies: app.js, the utilities, the
widget bundle, plugins_manager.js, and all partials, which HTMX loads
after the page. The 81 `typeof showNotification === 'function'` /
`!== 'undefined'` checks, the `window.showNotification || console.log`
and `|| alert` fallbacks, and their else branches (alert(), console
output, and schedule.html's own hand-built toast) could never take the
fallback path. They are removed, as is fonts.html's second copy of the
queueing stand-in.

The stand-in in app-shell.js keeps its guard (it must not replace the
widget's implementation if load order ever changes), and BaseWidget's
public notify()/getNotificationFunction() keep their shape for widgets
that plugins ship.

* refactor(web): one HTML escaper, window.LEDEscape

About 30 files each carried their own escapeHtml / escapeAttr / escHtml /
_esc / escapeJs. They disagreed: several (notification.js, display.html's
escapeHtml, operation_history.html, the app() stub) did not escape
quotes, google-calendar-picker.js and tools.html's escHtml left ' alone,
and some turned 0 into ''. Most were fine only because the quote-safe
widget copies were preferred at runtime.

window.LEDEscape now lives at the top of app-early.js, a blocking script
in <head>, so it exists before any other script runs:

  html(v)          & < > " ' as entities, null/undefined as ''
  attr(v)          the same, for call sites that want to say "attribute"
  jsStringAttr(v)  a JS string literal safe inside an inline handler

Every former copy is now a one-line name for it (kept so call sites do
not change), widgets included, with no fallback. plugins_manager.js
loses its four escapeJs wrappers (callers use jsStringAttr), the
duplicate escapeAttr and escapeHtml inside renderInstalledCards and
renderCustomRegistryPlugins, and the window.escapeHtml /
window.escapeAttribute exports, which nothing read.
addArrayObjectItem's fallback markup (with a sixth hand-written escape
chain) is gone too: window.renderArrayObjectItem is defined earlier in
the same file, so the fallback could not run. The unused escapeHtml
methods on the Alpine app (app-early.js stub and app-shell.js) are
deleted.

test_html_escaping.js now runs LEDEscape and every remaining name for it,
and fails if a hand-rolled escaper reappears anywhere in web_interface/.
Suites that evaluate slices of plugins_manager.js or widget files load
LEDEscape from app-early.js through test/js/led_escape.js.

* fix(web): stop htmx re-running partial scripts after every tab load

htmx-config.js runs each swapped-in <script> itself on htmx:afterSwap
and meant to turn htmx's own script handling off with
htmx.config.allowScriptTags = false. It did that once, while setting up,
but base.html loads htmx with a dynamic <script>, so htmx was not defined
yet and the setting never applied. On every tab load htmx then tried to
run each script again in its settle phase, found it already replaced
(no parent node) and threw "Cannot read properties of null (reading
'insertBefore')" into the console, which also skipped the rest of that
swap's settle tasks.

The setting is now applied in the afterSwap handler, which always runs
after htmx exists and before htmx settles the same swap.

* fix(web): show "--" for a system stat the server could not read

The stats stream and /system/status now send null for a metric they
cannot read (cpu_temp off a Pi, for one) instead of 0. updateSystemStats
built the header and Overview text as value + unit, so a null showed as
"null°C". CPU, memory and temperature, in the header and on the
Overview, now render "--" plus the unit for null or a missing field --
the same placeholder the page starts with, and what tools.html already
shows.

* refactor(web): one Alpine accessor and one plugin-list signal

window.getApp() (app-early.js) returns the root <body x-data="app()">
component through Alpine's public Alpine.$data, or null before Alpine
has initialised it. It replaces the private el._x_dataStack[0] reads in
app.js, app-early.js, app-shell.js, settings-search.js, overview.html and
plugins_manager.js, the three local getAppComponent/appData/getAppData
copies, and the Alpine 2 el.__x.$data fallbacks, which Alpine 3 never
provides.

Publishing the installed-plugin list: one load set window.installedPlugins
and dispatched pluginsUpdated twice (loadInstalledPlugins, then
renderInstalledPlugins), then wrote into the Alpine component through
_x_dataStack[0] and called its updatePluginTabs() directly, and
app-early.js's global listener set window.installedPlugins a third time
and called updatePluginTabs() again. Now renderInstalledPlugins is the
one publisher: it sets window.installedPlugins and dispatches
pluginsUpdated once, and the full app()'s listener (app-shell.js) is the
receiver. The app-early.js listener only builds the tab row while the app
is not the full implementation yet. The "grid not loaded yet" case is a
normal state (Plugin Manager tab not opened), so it logs through
pluginLog instead of console.warn.

updatePluginTabs had a "Debounce" comment and clearTimeout over a timer
nothing ever set, and two identical branches; it now just calls
_doUpdatePluginTabs (app-early.js detects the full implementation by
that name in its source, which the new comment says).

app()'s unused baseComponent lookup is removed.

* fix(web): reload the plugin list after installs and failed toggles

Several callers refreshed the installed list with

    if (typeof loadInstalledPlugins === 'function') loadInstalledPlugins();
    else if (typeof window.loadInstalledPlugins === 'function') ...

but loadInstalledPlugins is local to the plugin-manager IIFE and
window.loadInstalledPlugins is never defined, so from outside that IIFE
both tests were false and nothing reloaded:

- A failed plugin toggle left the switch drawn in the new state while
  the data said the old one. It now re-renders from the reverted data.
  The optimistic in-place edit also has to forget the grid's
  last-rendered markup, or setGridHtmlIfChanged sees identical HTML and
  skips the revert. A successful toggle still keeps the switch (and
  focus) as drawn.
- Installing from a GitHub URL (the early handleGitHubPluginInstall),
  installing or uploading a Starlark app, and toggling a Starlark app on
  its config tab never refreshed the list, so the new app had no tab or
  Installed badge until the page was reloaded. They now force a reload
  through window.pluginManager.loadInstalledPlugins(true), and the
  Starlark grid redraws when that finishes instead of after a fixed
  500 ms.
- The Starlark uninstall inside the IIFE reloaded from the 3 s cache,
  which could still hold the app; it now forces a reload.

* refactor(web): route debug output through debugLog

base.html defines window.debugLog, gated on localStorage.pluginDebug.
plugins_manager.js read the same key twice more into its own flags
(_PLUGIN_DEBUG_EARLY, and PLUGIN_DEBUG behind a pluginLog() wrapper), and
api_client.js's RequestThrottler had a separate `debug` property with a
setDebug() that nothing called. All of it now goes through debugLog. The
"functions defined" dumps with their ✓ lines, and two per-plugin
"enabled=" loops that ran on every render, are dropped; "[PLUGINS STUB]"
labels on code that has not been a stub for a long time read
"[PLUGINS]".

Ungated console.log calls that announced normal events on every page
load or action (settings search and tooltips registering, every toast
repeated to the console, the schedule pickers initialising, widget
registry unregister/clear) go through debugLog too. What remains on
console.log is the widget registry's on-demand LEDMatrixWidgets.debug()
dump and BaseWidget.notify's no-notifier fallback.

* refactor(web): drop waits and guards that could never fire

- handlePluginAction polled up to 10 x 50 ms for window.togglePlugin,
  configurePlugin, updatePlugin and uninstallPlugin before calling them.
  All four are defined when the scripts load, before any card can be
  clicked, so the poll always succeeded at once; it now calls them.
  The long thinking-aloud comment over the toggle state is replaced by
  two lines on why the stored state, not the checkbox, decides.
- initializePlugins checked typeof on setupGitHubInstallHandlers and
  applyStoreFiltersAndSort, function declarations in the same IIFE, and
  wrapped window.checkGitHubAuthStatus(), which returns a promise with
  its own .catch, in try/catch.
- searchPluginStore wrapped each "#store-count" update (a getElementById
  and an innerHTML assignment) in try/catch four times; one
  setStoreCount() helper does it. The store's post-render re-attach of
  the GitHub token handler dropped its try/catch and existence checks
  for the same reason.
- The load-time fallback outside the IIFE tested typeof
  initializePluginPageWhenReady, which is IIFE-local and so always
  undefined there; it calls window.initPluginsPage directly.

* refactor(web): delete two unused plugin-manager helpers

stopOnDemand (IIFE-local; the page's stop button calls window.stopOnDemand
from app-shell.js) and debounce had no callers.

* refactor(web): document the plugin-config handlers templates call

validatePluginConfigForm, handleConfigSave, handleToggleResponse,
handlePluginUpdate and refreshPluginConfig each get a JSDoc naming the
attribute in partials/plugin_config.html that calls it and what the
return value means (only validatePluginConfigForm's matters: false
cancels the submit).

- The `if (!window.__pluginConfigHandlersInitialized)` wrapper is gone:
  app-shell.js runs once per page, so it was never false. The block is
  dedented one level; `git diff -w` shows the real change.
- The three handlers read xhr.responseJSON first. XMLHttpRequest has no
  such property (it is jQuery's), so that branch never ran; one
  xhrJson(xhr) helper parses responseText for all of them, with the same
  fallbacks as before.
- runPluginOnDemand and stopOnDemand checked that plugins_manager.js's
  openOnDemandModal/requestOnDemandStop exist; plugins_manager.js is on
  every page, so they call them.
- fixInvalidNumberInputs had a stray "Notification helper function"
  comment on top of its own; a leftover "section toggle ... duplicate
  definition removed" note is gone.

* fix(web): one toast per save, and a failed durations save says so

app.js's global htmx:afterRequest listener showed the server's message
for every htmx request, and every form and button that posts through
htmx (plugin config save/toggle/update, Display, Durations, General,
Schedule, Dim schedule, the Overview actions) also reports its own result
from hx-on after-request. Each save showed two toasts. The global
listener now stays quiet for a request whose element, or its form, has
its own after-request handler.

That exposed the Rotation & Durations form's handler, which read
xhr.responseJSON: XMLHttpRequest has no such property, so it always said
"Durations saved" in green, even when the save failed (the global toast
had been the only place the error showed). display.html already had a
correct version (2xx only counts as saved; the server's message wins;
its status may refine success but never overturn failure). That is now
window.showSaveResult(xhr, savedText, failedText) in app.js, used by the
Display, Durations and General forms; General's inline copy of the same
logic is gone.

* docs(web): file headers and comments that say what the code does now

- plugins_manager.js, app-shell.js, app.js and app-early.js open with a
  header: what the file owns, how base.html loads it and in what order
  relative to the others, and the globals it defines. app-early.js's
  app() stub also says why it exists and that, with app-shell.js now
  loaded before Alpine, it does not run in practice.
- base.html's note on plugins_manager.js said it must load last to win
  over same-named functions in app.js/app-shell.js; there are none left,
  so it now gives the real reason (it uses everything loaded before it).
- Change-narration and "already defined at the top, no need to redefine"
  notes are gone or rewritten as present-tense reasons; comments that
  were wrong are fixed ("Toggle password visibility" over the function
  that opens the token panel, "Insert before the closing </nav>" over an
  appendChild, "(from v2)", the export note that still listed
  escapeHtml). About forty comments that restated the line below them
  are removed, and a second window.currentPluginConfig = null outside the
  IIFE is dropped (the IIFE sets it).
- The file-upload, checkbox-group and custom-feeds widgets' render()
  stubs say plainly that the widget is rendered server-side, instead of
  "for now" / "placeholder for future client-side rendering".

test_plugin_action_delegation.js sliced the source up to one of the
removed notes; it now ends the slice at the next section header.

* fix(web): keep the escapeHtml/escapeAttribute globals for plugin pages

6da77363 removed window.escapeHtml and window.escapeAttribute because nothing in core or the plugin monorepo read them. Plugin web UIs served through serve_plugin_web_ui and third-party plugin pages may still call them, so they come back as aliases of window.LEDEscape.html and .attr, defined in app-early.js before any other script runs. test_html_escaping.js checks the aliases exist.

* fix(web): encode the image thumbnail path; match script tags case-insensitively

CodeQL flagged the upload widget building an <img> src from a stored path,
and the escaper test extracting inline scripts with a case-sensitive regex.
Each path segment is now URL-encoded (still a same-origin path, and correct
for names with spaces or

* fix(web): clear Codacy findings in the escaper, app shell and upload widget

- LEDEscape looks entities up in a Map instead of indexing an object.
- showNotification is declared as a global for app-shell.js.
- openImageSchedule checks the index is a non-negative integer and reads
  the image with Array.prototype.at.
- The schedule editor calls escapeHtml directly and documents why its
  innerHTML template is safe: every value is escaped or constrained.
  The remaining rule hits are suppressed on that line with the reason.

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

* fix(web): build the image schedule editor with DOM calls

Codacy does not honour inline suppressions, and the editor's innerHTML
template kept tripping its XSS rules even though every value was escaped.
The editor is now built with a small element helper (createElement and
setAttribute), so no value is ever parsed as HTML, and the file's own
escapeHtml goes away.

Also for Codacy:
- LEDEscape.attr is its own function rather than a second name for html.
- The tab loader records a failed load on the panel (data-load-failed)
  from a named handler, instead of a closure over a local flag.

The fake DOM in test_file_upload_widget.js gains append/replaceChildren,
its hostile-id check now asserts the id arrives as attribute data with no
innerHTML anywhere in the editor, and test_html_escaping.js drops the
file-upload.js escaper it no longer has.

* refactor(web): schedule editor helpers as plain functions

Codacy's lint flags arrow functions held in local constants and a forEach
callback that returns a value. The editor's pieces are now named function
declarations (displayStyle, scheduleModeOption, scheduleRangeTime,
scheduleDayTime, scheduleDayRow) taking what they need as arguments, and
the element helper loops with for...of. htmx is declared as a global in
app-shell.js. Output is unchanged; test_file_upload_widget.js passes.

ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 3a81f38f09 fix(web): uniqueItems saves, /health count, Vegas order wipe; one list-repair helper (#638)
* fix(web): drop repeats from uniqueItems lists before validating a plugin save

dedup_unique_arrays lost its only caller in #330, so submitting a value a
uniqueItems list already holds (a stock symbol saved once and posted again)
failed the whole save with a validation error. _prepare_plugin_config_for_save

when nothing has been scanned yet.

The config, plugin and hardware checks answered "see logs for details"

POST /plugins/store/refresh read fetch_commit_info (or fetch_latest_versions)

It never fetched any: the route re-downloads the registry and nothing else.
search_plugins takes the flag, but it reads commit info through its cache,
so passing it on would not refresh anything either. The flag is ignored now
and the message says what happened.

A vegas_plugin_order or vegas_excluded_plugins value that was not JSON, or

plugin_rotation_order already did; the three share one parser. A list that
holds anything but plugin-id strings is refused as well.

* fix(web): plugin config reset saves through the shared atomic save

POST /plugins/config/reset called config_manager.save_config directly, so it
took no backup, and a failed write escaped as an unhandled exception. It then
handed on_config_change the raw stored section, not the prepared config a
loaded plugin runs with. It now saves through _save_config_atomic with a
backup, answers CONFIG_SAVE_FAILED when that fails, and notifies with
_prepared_plugin_config, as POST /plugins/config does.

POST /plugins/toggle carried its own copy of _save_config_atomic's
save_config_atomic-or-save_config fallback; it calls the shared helper now.

* fix(web): one reading and one "unavailable" for each system metric

system_metrics.collect_system_metrics() promised None for a metric it could
not read, but returned cpu_temp as 0 off a Pi, and the whole no-psutil
fallback as zeros. GET /system/status measured the same numbers a second time
with its own code, and answered None there. Now both come from
collect_system_metrics(), and "unavailable" is None everywhere.

/system/status keeps its 0.1s CPU sample and its 10s cache, and gains
nothing it did not already send. Two differences: without psutil it answers
200 with null metrics instead of 503, and a disk it cannot stat is null
instead of a 500.

* fix(web): /display/current sends the snapshot as-is and logs a failed read

GET /display/current PIL-decoded the preview snapshot and re-encoded it before
base64-ing it, spending CPU on the Pi to send the same picture, and dropped
any failure with `except Exception: pass`. The /stream/display SSE stream
already passed the PNG's bytes straight through.

Both now read through web_interface/display_preview.py and answer with the
same payload. A missing snapshot is still a null image; any other read
failure is logged as a warning. /health reads the snapshot path from the same
module.

* refactor(web): one helper puts a submitted plugin config's lists back

The plugin-config save turned position-keyed dicts ({"0": ..., "1": ...})
back into lists in five copies: four in the form path's
fix_array_structures (whose prefix branches never ran, since no caller
passed one), and _fix_json_arrays on the JSON path. It then force-fixed
the news plugin's feeds.custom_feeds by name, in case the generic pass had
missed it. src/web_interface/config_arrays.coerce_array_shapes now does it
for both paths, custom_feeds included. ensure_array_defaults duplicated
_fix_none_arrays and is gone.

In the same function: the union-type re-checks that the null handling
above them made unreachable, the "(temporary)" random_seed debug log, and
a commented-out log line are removed. A failed validation is logged once
as a warning, not four ERROR lines and a WARNING.

Element types are left to normalize_config_values, which already converted
them for both paths. One difference: the form path no longer adds an empty
{} for a nested object the post left out that has no defaults.

* refactor(web): import at module top and log through the module logger

The web_interface.cache imports in config.py and fonts.py were wrapped in
`except ImportError` fallbacks. It is an in-repo module that imports nothing
from the project, so it cannot fail to import; it is imported once at module
top, as system.py now does. cache.py's docstring said blueprints import it
lazily "to avoid circular imports"; it now says why that is unnecessary.

Five logging.error calls in the dim-schedule GET and three logging.warning
calls in plugins.py went to the root logger; they use the module logger.
Function-local re-imports of json, os, shutil, logging and Path, all
already imported by the module, are gone. The `import os` inside two except
blocks of save_plugin_config also made os a local name for the whole function.

execute_plugin_action's step-1 handler gets a comment saying why it stays:
it looks like a copy of the blueprint handler, but without it a
TimeoutExpired from the plugin's script would reach the route's own
`except subprocess.TimeoutExpired` and be answered as a 408.

* refactor(web): app.py loses dead CSRF and reconciliation state, comments fixed

- csrf was always None, so `if csrf: csrf.exempt(...)` never ran, and its
  note that the api_v3 blueprint "is exempted above" named an exemption that
  does not exist. Both are gone; the reason there is no CSRF protection stays,
  shortened.
- The SSE rate-limit comment called the default "tight" at 20 per minute. The
  default is 1000 per minute and the streams' 200 is the tighter one; the
  comment now says so. The limits are unchanged.
- _reconciliation_done was written and never read. The docstring that
  explains why reconciliation runs once keeps its reason, in the present
  tense.
- Removed: a dangling "import cache functions" comment with no import under
  it, a "security check ... within project_root" label on an existence check,
  the "(simplified version)" narration, and the note that no redirect route is
  needed. The preview loop's sleep comment no longer mentions a PIL encode
  that the loop does not do.

Every route module's docstring said the shared blueprint comes "from

_common.py; it now describes this package and keeps the incident it
guards against. The "(corrected) in this commit" note in
resolve_pull_command and the /health comment the split's mechanical
time -> _pkg.time rewrite garbled ("Stamp the start _pkg.time") read
correctly again.

PluginManager.__init__ sets health_tracker and resource_monitor (to None

* refactor(web): pages_v3 dispatches partials from a dict with one error handler

load_partial chose a loader through a fourteen-branch if/elif, and thirteen
of the loaders then wrapped themselves in the same try/except, logging
"Error loading partial" without saying which. The route now looks the name up
in _PARTIAL_LOADERS and has the one handler, which logs the partial's name.
The loaders just render. _load_tools_partial keeps its own messages. The
search index's _partial_html already catches a loader that raises.

serve_plugin_web_ui repeated _plugin_dir_for inline (containment plus the
ledmatrix- prefix fallback); it calls it now. Also removed: the unused
markupsafe.escape import, function-local json/Path re-imports, and unused
exception bindings.

- branch_info in install_plugin was built and never logged; test_config in
  /health was bound and never read (the load_config call is the check).
- An f-string with no placeholders in the asset upload route.
- _installed_plugin_ids wrapped list(manifests.keys()) in try/except;
  _discovered_plugin_manifests always returns a dict.

* refactor(web): start.py logs its startup lines and drops unreachable branches

The startup banner went to stdout with print(); it goes through a logger
now, which the app import has already configured, so it reaches the journal
with a level and timestamp like every other line. The "no addresses" branch
is gone: get_local_ips() always returns at least "localhost".

The except around app.run re-raised "only if it's not a client
disconnection error" from inside the branch that had just established it
was one, so that raise could not run. It is one check now, on a named
tuple of the errnos, which the werkzeug log filter uses too. The comment
on threaded=True counts three SSE endpoints, which is how many there are.
Trailing whitespace is stripped.

hold them now, and the four per-section skip checks are one set.

The comment on that merge said plugin configs are handled "here too", and
"(including plugin keys)". Plugin sections are handled and removed from the
body before it runs; the comment says so.

Six lookups fell back to PROJECT_ROOT/plugins/<id> when there was no plugin

plugin static-file route, the calendar credentials upload and the calendar
OAuth routes. The loader never scans plugins/ (PluginManager.discover_plugins
reads only the configured directory, plugin-repos by default), so what they
found there was a plugin that never runs. _plugin_directory() asks the
manager and answers None without one, which each route already reports as
"not found".

record_error() called traceback.format_exc(), which only sees an

disconnect_from_network() asked `nmcli -f NAME,802-11-wireless.ssid

device was disconnected. The per-profile lookup _connect_nmcli() already

_save_config() opened the file for writing in place and swallowed any

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
and defaulted the port to a literal 5765. Wherever TMPDIR is set (or on
any non-/tmp host) the page only ever showed "starting". The endpoint now
uses sync_manager.STATUS_FILE and SYNC_PORT.

* fix(http): the rankings resolver sends the project's User-Agent

DynamicTeamResolver fetched ESPN rankings with a bare requests.get, so
it sent python-requests' default User-Agent, which ESPN rejects; the
AP_TOP_N favourites then resolved to nothing. It now sends
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).

* fix(backup): record the core release and read the configured plugin dir

The manifest's ledmatrix_version came from a VERSION file that does not
exist, then from .git/HEAD: a 12-character sha, or "ref: refs/he" when
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,
preview, validate and restore. _SINGLE_FILE_SECTIONS lists them once,
with the RestoreOptions flag that restores each, and all four walk it.
Restore error messages keep their wording ("Failed to restore
<file name>").

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

* 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.

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

* 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.

* refactor(style): drop _layout_axis, name the layout group title

- ElementStyleResolver._layout_axis() had no caller in core or the

- _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.

* test(api-helper): stop the real CacheManager's cleanup thread

The cache-lifetime tests built a CacheManager and left its cleanup

test_cache_cleanup_thread_ownership when it ran later in the session.
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).

* docs: correct stale setup, service and troubleshooting claims

- README: quick actions run systemctl on ledmatrix.service (run.py), not

  installer uses system pip with --break-system-packages, not a venv.
- CONFIG_DEBUGGING: LEDMATRIX_DEBUG must be "true"; logs are in journald.
- GETTING_STARTED, WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE, TROUBLESHOOTING: enabling a
  plugin, plugin settings, brightness and Vegas settings apply without a
  restart; matrix hardware settings still need one.
- TROUBLESHOOTING: install dependencies with sudo so the root service
  sees them; point permission problems at PERMISSIONS.md instead of a
  project-wide chown.
- ADVANCED_FEATURES: real BackgroundDataService stats keys; Vegas hooks
  return VegasDisplayMode and None falls back to capture; cache files
  are 0660; fix_web_permissions.sh runs as the web user and does not
  touch sudoers.
- STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE: only the linux-arm64 pixlet binary is downloaded.
- HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS: test class examples that exist.
- CLAUDE.md: PluginStoreManager, plugin_dirs.py, monorepo installs via
  the Trees API with ZIP fallback, requirements.txt is optional.

* docs: mark deprecated plugin APIs and state manifest fields once

Methods @deprecated("3.7.0") (the set pinned in test_deprecation.py)
were shown as current API in the quick reference, API reference,
advanced guide, development guide and FONT_MANAGER. Each is now marked
deprecated with its replacement. FONT_MANAGER is rewritten around the
current API; the override editor is gone and override methods are
deprecated.

Required manifest fields were stated three different ways. The API
reference now has one section: the 7 schema-required fields, the 4 the
store refuses without, class_name for the loader, and the 8 to set.
The other guides link to it.

- SPORTS_UNIFICATION listed two shared modules and called
  sports_helpers the first; it now lists all six.
- The widgets README lists all 28 registered widgets plus the support
  files, and absorbs the parts that only docs/widget-guide.md had
  (x-options.labels, x-advanced, x-display hidden, plugin-file-manager).
  docs/widget-guide.md is now a pointer to it.

* fix(security): fix_web_permissions.sh re-hardens the root sudo helpers

The script chowns the whole project to the web user. That included
scripts/fix_perms/safe_plugin_rm.sh and safe_pip_install.sh -- the two
helpers /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web lets the web user run as root -- so
running it turned both into a root shell for whoever can edit them. It
also re-grouped config_secrets.json away from ledmatrix.

After the chown it now does what first_time_install.sh's Steps 11 and
11.1 do: helpers back to root:root 755, and config_secrets.json back to
the web unit's User=:ledmatrix 640. Each step is non-fatal and prints the
manual command if it fails.

Also fixes what the script and its docs claimed: it never configured
sudoers, its closing hint pointed at ./configure_web_sudo.sh (wrong
path), and the README and ADVANCED_FEATURES.md said to run it with sudo,
which it refuses.

* fix(security): validate and harden every sudoers drop-in the scripts write

configure_wifi_permissions.sh copied its rules into
/etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_wifi without `visudo -c`. A malformed drop-in
makes sudo refuse every command for every user, which on a headless Pi
leaves no way back in. It now checks first and leaves the installed file
alone when the rules do not parse, as the other two writers do. (It
already used mktemp, so that part of the review did not apply.)

It also grants the two literal commands wifi_manager.py runs for
NetworkManager's shared-mode dnsmasq drop-in -- `cp
/tmp/ledmatrix-nm-dnsmasq.conf .../dnsmasq-shared.d/ledmatrix-captive.conf`
and `rm -f` of that file. The directory's mkdir was granted, the file was
not. Both are pinned in test_sudo_allowlist_covers_calls.py.

configure_web_sudo.sh wrote its rules to /tmp/ledmatrix_web_sudoers_$$,
a predictable name in a world-writable directory; it now uses mktemp with
an EXIT trap, as first_time_install.sh does. It sets mode 440 on the
installed file instead of leaving the temp file's mode, and finds visudo
in /usr/sbin when that is not on the user's PATH, which skipped the
check silently.

* fix(install): escape the project path in the DNS-fix and MQTT unit renderers

install_dns_fix.sh and install_mqtt_bridge.sh substituted
__PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__ with the raw path, while the other three renderers
go through sed_escape_replacement from lib_systemd_render.sh. A checkout
under a path containing `&`, `\` or `|` rendered a corrupted unit from
these two only. Both now source the helper and use it, and a test checks
that every placeholder substitution in scripts/install uses an escaped
value.

* fix(install): stop the installer scripts reporting things that are not true

- first_time_install.sh printed "Password: ledmatrix123" for the setup
  access point. wifi_manager creates it as an open network ("No
  password" on the panel), so it now says so.
- Step 10.1 printed "✓ WiFi management permissions configured" straight
  after its own failure message; install_wifi_monitor.sh printed
  "✓ Package installation completed" after a failed apt install. The
  tick now only follows success.
- Step 7 printed "Web dependencies already installed ... in Step 5" in
  the one branch that runs because Step 5 did not install them, then
  created .web_deps_installed on that basis. It now warns and leaves the
  marker off so the next run retries, as the comment below it intends.
- check_system_compatibility.sh called Debian 12 Bookworm "full
  compatibility confirmed" while first_time_install.sh refuses anything
  but Debian 13. Bookworm, older Debian and non-Debian systems are now
  errors. Its counters used ((X++)), which under `set -e` exits the
  script at the first warning or error (the expression is 0), so the
  check never reached its summary on any system with one.
- configure_web_sudo.sh and configure_wifi_permissions.sh finished by
  testing `sudo -n test -f ...` and `sudo -n nmcli device status`,
  neither of which is granted, so they always reported a failure. They
  now ask `sudo -n -l` about commands the new rules do grant, which
  checks the rule without running anything.

* fix(install): print the completion summary before rebooting

With -y -- and so for every one-shot `curl | bash` install, which always
passes -y -- first_time_install.sh ran `reboot` about 180 lines before
its "Installation Complete / Web UI Access" summary. reboot returns at
once, so the summary printed while the Pi was going down and the SSH
session usually dropped before the web UI address could be read.

The reboot block moves, unchanged, to the very end of the script. The
interactive prompt now also follows the summary. Because the summary now
runs before the -y reboot, its one command that could fail under
`set -Eeuo pipefail` (the SSID lookup, when nmcli reports a connected
device but no active network line) gets `|| true`; a missing SSID was
already handled as "SSID unknown".

one-shot-install.sh prints its "Next steps" after the installer returns,
by which time the reboot is under way, so it now says so, and README's
Quick Install mentions the automatic reboot.

* chore(scripts): correct wrong comments and messages, drop dead code

No behaviour change except the output text noted below.

- 2775 is setgid, not the sticky bit (first_time_install.sh Step 3.1,
  fix_plugin_permissions.sh), and root needs no "PWM hardware access"
  to plugin files.
- The 777 comments in first_time_install.sh Step 3's fallback and
  fix_assets_permissions.sh said root needs it to write. Root ignores
  mode bits; the comments now say what 777 actually opens. The 777
  itself is unchanged.
- apt_remove ends in `|| true`, so Step 12's "Some packages could not be
  removed" branch could never run; it is gone and the helper stays
  non-fatal.
- detect_web_service_user's comment named Step 8 for the web unit
  (install_service.sh installs it in Step 7.5) and now says which
  branch actually runs.
- Step 5 described an "already installed" check that does not exist;
  the ACTUAL_USER comment described the re-exec backwards.
- on_error printed a literal "\n" before "Common fixes:".
- Dead code: one-shot-install.sh's uncalled fix_tmp_permissions,
  LEDMATRIX_ELEVATED=1 (never read) on the sudo re-exec, and
  configure_web_sudo.sh's unused PYTHON_PATH, which also made a missing
  python3 fatal for rules that never mention it.
- start_display.sh / stop_display.sh said "for user: <you>"; the
  service runs as root.

* refactor(fix_perms): fix_cache_permissions.sh uses setup_cache.sh's model

There were two models for /var/cache/ledmatrix. setup_cache.sh (the
installer's Step 2) and install_web_service.sh share it through the
ledmatrix group: root:ledmatrix, 2775, files 660, which is also what
DiskCache relies on to give files the directory's group.
fix_cache_permissions.sh instead made it 777 and re-grouped it to the
invoking user's group, undoing that.

It now runs setup_cache.sh for /var/cache/ledmatrix and keeps its own
handling of ~/.ledmatrix_cache. Dropped: /var/cache/ledmatrix/
placeholder_logos (nothing reads it) and the checks against the
`daemon` user (no service runs as daemon).

* ci: pin actions/checkout in the Claude workflows, drop template comments

claude.yml and claude-code-review.yml used actions/checkout@v4 while
test.yml and release-version-check.yml pin the v4.2.2 commit SHA; they
now pin the same SHA. The commented-out starter-template settings
(prompt, claude_args, paths, author filter) are removed.

* docs(scripts): index every script and list removal candidates

New scripts/README.md gives one line per top-level script and scripts
directory, marked keep, dev-only or diagnostic, and lists the eight
scripts nothing in the repo refers to as candidates for removal (kept
for now). The install, utils and dev READMEs now list the files they
were missing.

* test: tighten two checks that mutation testing showed were too loose

- The wifi sudoers check matched `visudo -c -f "$TEMP_SUDOERS"` in the
  error report too, so replacing the check with `if false` still passed.
  It now requires the command as the condition.
- The summary test never had the setup access point up, so reinstating
  the bogus "Password: ledmatrix123" line went unnoticed. A case with
  hostapd active now checks the AP is described as open.
