### B6 — the decision as of 2026-08-05
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Do not run B6 yet. Do not abandon it either.** The blocker is no longer
|
||||||
|
technical; it is calendar time, and it is the one thing here that cannot be
|
||||||
|
worked around by writing more code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Why not yet.** 3.2.0 was published **2026-08-03**. Its predecessor 3.1.0 ran
|
||||||
|
for nine months. B6's entire safety argument is "cores without
|
||||||
|
`src.common.sports_scroll` are gone", and two days after release that is not
|
||||||
|
close to true. There are no release assets to count and no install telemetry, so
|
||||||
|
we cannot demonstrate otherwise — and that absence of evidence *is* the answer.
|
||||||
|
Executing B6 now would strand essentially the whole user base on their current
|
||||||
|
plugin versions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What is already done and waiting.** The hard part is built and tested. The
|
||||||
|
install gate refuses a plugin whose floor exceeds the core's version, and
|
||||||
|
refuses one whose floor is above 2.0.0 when the core reports an untrustworthy
|
||||||
|
version — so a v3.1.0-release user (who reports `1.0.0`) keeps a working plugin
|
||||||
|
instead of receiving one that cannot load. Every adopted plugin has a
|
||||||
|
`test_core_fallback.py` covering both paths.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What would unblock it.** Evidence of 3.2.0 uptake — a few months of it being
|
||||||
|
the default download, or store-side install data if that is ever added. Revisit
|
||||||
|
then, not on a schedule.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**When it happens, remember:** four plugins declare their floor top-level, where
|
||||||
|
editing `versions[0]` is a silent no-op, and the floor has three live spellings
|
||||||
|
(`min_ledmatrix_version`, `requires.min_ledmatrix_version`,
|
||||||
|
`versions[].ledmatrix_min_version`, plus deprecated `ledmatrix_min`). See
|
||||||
|
`src/plugin_system/compatibility.py:declared_min_version` for the resolution
|
||||||
|
order any floor-raising tool must reproduce.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### B5 retrospective — what the adoption actually cost
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recorded because it is the evidence behind the two decisions above, and because
|
||||||
|
"the adoption went fine" is not what happened.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Four of the eight shipped with scroll mode broken** on a 3.2.0 core, and were
|
||||||
|
repaired in plugins-repo #251. The restructure lifted the content methods
|
||||||
|
verbatim but left the state they read off `self` behind: separator-icon
|
||||||
|
constants (hockey, basketball, lacrosse) and the game-renderer cache (afl).
|
||||||
|
hockey/basketball/lacrosse could not construct the scroll display at all; afl
|
||||||
|
raised inside `prepare_scroll_content`, which the core base *catches*, so its
|
||||||
|
only symptom was scroll mode silently drawing nothing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Three things are worth carrying forward:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **The bundled fallback did not protect anyone from this.** The break was on
|
||||||
|
the modern path, which the fallback never touches. Carrying the second copy
|
||||||
|
bought nothing against the actual defect while creating the divergence that
|
||||||
|
produced it. That is an argument *for* B6, not against it.
|
||||||
|
- **Every gate was green.** The safety harness renders the scoreboard screens,
|
||||||
|
not scroll mode; `test_core_fallback.py` checked that methods existed and that
|
||||||
|
their *globals* resolved, and `self.NHL_SEPARATOR_ICON` is an attribute read,
|
||||||
|
invisible to an AST scan for `Name` loads. The fix was to stop reasoning about
|
||||||
|
source and **build the object**: construct both classes on both paths, compare
|
||||||
|
the separator icons they end up with, and assert the adopted class ends up
|
||||||
|
with every instance attribute the bundled one sets.
|
||||||
|
- **Test what the change touches, not what is convenient to render.** Scroll
|
||||||
|
mode had no coverage because the harness could not reach it. A comparison
|
||||||
|
harness that renders the same games through both paths and diffs the pixels
|
||||||
|
needs no per-sport knowledge of the right answer, only that adopting core code
|
||||||
|
did not change it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**The ledger.** Before adoption, eight duplicated copies totalled 5,685 lines.
|
||||||
|
After adoption plus the frozen legacy copies it was 10,610; removing the dead
|
||||||
|
inline duplication (plugins #252) brought it to roughly 8,620. B6 would take it
|
||||||
|
to about 3,300 including the shared core module — some 2,400 fewer than before
|
||||||
|
this project started. **Until B6 runs, the adoption is net negative on disk**,
|
||||||
|
and its one delivered user-visible gain is that adopted plugins honour the
|
||||||
|
global `target_fps` instead of hardcoding ~100 FPS.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Decision: stop adopting further modules until B6 closes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`data_sources.py` (9 copies), `game_renderer.py` (8) and `base_odds_manager.py`
|
||||||
|
are the obvious next candidates. **Do not adopt them yet.** Each adoption adds
|
||||||
|
carrying cost — a second copy to keep in step — against a payoff that is
|
||||||
|
contingent on B6, and B6 is gated on an installed base we cannot currently
|
||||||
|
measure. Consolidate what is already committed; revisit when B6 does.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## What's next
|
## What's next
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order. Each step is independently useful and independently revertible.
|
Steps 1–5 of the original plan are **done**: 3.2.0 is tagged and published with
|
||||||
|
a version number CI now asserts (#428), the compatibility gate is in
|
||||||
|
`install_plugin` and reads `compatible_versions` as well as the floor (#431,
|
||||||
|
#433), the newest manifest entry is required to use `ledmatrix_min_version`
|
||||||
|
(plugins #244), and all eight plugins have adopted the scroll orchestration
|
||||||
|
(plugins #245–#249, repaired in #251, tidied in #252).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Tag and publish v3.2.0.** The code is already on `main` (`21825cbf`).
|
What actually remains, smallest first:
|
||||||
Nothing else blocks this, and it is what makes `ledmatrix_min_version:
|
|
||||||
"3.2.0"` refer to something real.
|
1. **Nothing on the critical path.** B6 is the only remaining phase and it is
|
||||||
2. **Make the version number honest.** Have the release process assert that the
|
waiting on calendar time, not on work. Resist the urge to fill the gap by
|
||||||
tag, the GitHub release, and `src.__version__` agree — a check in CI is
|
adopting more modules — see the decision above.
|
||||||
cheaper than the confusion of the last two releases. Then revisit the
|
2. **The stale plugin-test tranche** — 5 failures across baseball, hockey and
|
||||||
`< 2.0.0` skip in `_warn_if_incompatible`, which currently silences the
|
basketball, all pre-existing API drift in the plugins' own older tests
|
||||||
warning for the users who most need it.
|
(`plugin.initialized`, `CacheManager(config_manager=...)`, a bare
|
||||||
3. **Add the compatibility gate** to `StoreManager.install_plugin` and
|
`cache_manager` import, `MockLogger.setLevel`, `BasketballPluginManager`).
|
||||||
`.update_plugin`: refuse a plugin whose declared floor exceeds
|
None are scroll-related. They make the suite noisy, which is how a real
|
||||||
`src.__version__`, and surface the reason in the store UI rather than only
|
failure gets ignored.
|
||||||

|
3. **Soak the remaining adoptions on hardware.** Only baseball has been watched
|
||||||
into a guarantee, and B6 depends on it.
|
through a live game, and hockey has been loaded on devpi. The other six are
|
||||||
4. **Migrate the manifests** to `ledmatrix_min_version`, and reconcile them with
|
proven by harness, unit tests and pixel comparison — not by a live match.
|
||||||
`compatible_versions` (see above — that field is the required, canonical one,
|
Out-of-season sports cannot be soaked until their season starts.
|
||||||
and the gate does not read it yet). Currently 28 plugins spell the floor both
|
4. **`CLAUDE.md` in the plugins repo says four panel sizes; the harness renders
|
||||||
ways across their `versions[]` entries, 12 use only the old spelling, and 2
|
eight.** A one-line doc fix, and the discrepancy has already produced one
|
||||||
only the new. Scope the sweep to the nine sports plugins if a 42-plugin
|
false review finding.
|
||||||
version-bump wave isn't worth it — but the `compatible_versions` half has to
|
5. **Then, when the evidence supports it, B6** — with the four-case
|
||||||
cover every manifest the gate can refuse, or define explicit legacy handling,
|
compatibility regression test above in CI first.
|
||||||
before the gate is allowed to block anything.
|
|
||||||
5. **Run B5 adoption** — hockey, soccer, football, then the remaining six.
|
|
||||||
Bundled copies stay. Byte-identical harness output per plugin, then a soak.
|
|
||||||
6. **Only then plan B6**, with the compatibility regression test described above
|
|
||||||
in CI first.
