docs: address CodeRabbit review comments on #306

Reviewed all 12 CodeRabbit comments on PR #306, verified each against
the current code, and fixed the 11 valid ones. The 12th finding is a
real code bug (cache_manager.delete() calls in api_helper.py and
resource_monitor.py) that's already in the planned follow-up code-fix
PR, so it stays out of this docs PR.

Fixed:

.cursor/plugins_guide.md, .cursor/README.md, .cursorrules
- I claimed "there is no --emulator flag" in 3 places. Verified in
  run.py:19-20 that the -e/--emulator flag is defined and functional
  (it sets os.environ["EMULATOR"]="true" before the display imports).
  Other docs I didn't touch (.cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md,
  docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md) already use the flag correctly.
  Replaced all 3 wrong statements with accurate guidance that
  both forms work and explains the CLI flag's relationship to the
  env var.

.cursorrules, docs/GETTING_STARTED.md, docs/WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md,
docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md
- Four places claimed "the plugin loader also falls back to plugins/".
  Verified that PluginManager.discover_plugins()
  (src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py:154) only scans the
  configured directory — no fallback. The fallback to plugins/
  exists only in two narrower places: store_manager.py:1700-1718
  (store install/update/uninstall operations) and
  schema_manager.py:70-80 (schema lookup for the web UI form
  generator). Rewrote all four mentions with the precise scope.
  Added a recommendation to set plugin_system.plugins_directory
  to "plugins" for the smoothest dev workflow with
  dev_plugin_setup.sh symlinks.

docs/FONT_MANAGER.md
- The "Status" warning told plugin authors to use
  display_manager.font_manager.resolve_font(...) as a workaround for
  loading plugin fonts. Verified in src/font_manager.py that
  resolve_font() takes a family name, not a file path — so the
  workaround as written doesn't actually work. Rewrote to tell
  authors to load the font directly with PIL or freetype-py in their
  plugin.
- The same section said "the user-facing font override system in the
  Fonts tab still works for any element that's been registered via
  register_manager_font()". Verified in
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py:5404-5428 that
  /api/v3/fonts/overrides is a placeholder implementation that
  returns empty arrays and contains "would integrate with the actual
  font system" comments — the Fonts tab does not have functional
  integration with register_manager_font() or the override system.
  Removed the false claim and added an explicit note that the tab
  is a placeholder.

docs/ADVANCED_FEATURES.md:523
- The on-demand section said REST/UI calls write a request "into the
  cache manager (display_on_demand_config key)". Wrong — verified
  via grep that api_v3.py:1622 and :1687 write to
  display_on_demand_request, and display_on_demand_config is only
  written by the controller during activation
  (display_controller.py:1195, cleared at :1221). Corrected the key
  name and added controller file:line references so future readers
  can verify.

docs/ADVANCED_FEATURES.md:803
- "Plugins using the background service" paragraph listed all
  scoreboard plugins but an orphaned "⏳ MLB (baseball)" bullet
  remained below from the old version of the section. Removed the
  orphan and added "baseball/MLB" to the inline list for clarity.

web_interface/README.md
- The POST /api/v3/system/action action list was incomplete. Verified
  in web_interface/app.py:1383,1386 that enable_autostart and
  disable_autostart are valid actions. Added both.
- The Plugin Store section was missing
  GET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status (verified at
  api_v3.py:3296). Added it.
- The SSE line-range reference was app.py:607-615 but line 619
  contains the "Exempt SSE streams from CSRF and add rate limiting"
  block that's semantically part of the same feature. Extended the
  range to 607-619.

docs/GETTING_STARTED.md
- Rows/Columns step said "Columns: 64 or 96 (match your hardware)".
  The web UI's validation accepts any integer in 16-128. Clarified
  that 64 and 96 are the common bundled-hardware values but the
  valid range is wider.

Not addressed (out of scope for docs PR):

- .cursorrules:184 CodeRabbit comment flagged the non-existent
  cache_manager.delete() calls in src/common/api_helper.py:287 and
  src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:343. These are real CODE
  bugs, not doc bugs, and they're the first item in the planned
  post-docs-refresh code-cleanup PR (see
  /home/chuck/.claude/plans/warm-imagining-river.md). The docs in
  this PR correctly state that delete() doesn't exist on
  CacheManager — the fix belongs in the follow-up code PR that
  either adds a delete() shim or updates the two callers.

+# Cursor Helper Files for LEDMatrix Plugin Development
+
+This directory contains Cursor-specific helper files to assist with plugin development in the LEDMatrix project.
+
+## Files Overview
+
+### `.cursorrules`
+Comprehensive rules file that Cursor uses to understand plugin development patterns, best practices, and workflows. This file is automatically loaded by Cursor and helps guide AI-assisted development.
+
+### `plugins_guide.md`
+Detailed guide covering:
+- Plugin system overview
+- Creating new plugins
+- Running plugins (emulator and hardware)
+- Loading and configuring plugins
+- Development workflow
+- Testing strategies
+- Troubleshooting
+
+### `plugin_templates/`
+Template files for quick plugin creation:
+- `manifest.json.template` - Plugin metadata template
+- `manager.py.template` - Plugin class template
+- `config_schema.json.template` - Configuration schema template
+- `README.md.template` - Plugin documentation template
+- `requirements.txt.template` - Dependencies template
+- `QUICK_START.md` - Quick start guide for using templates
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Creating a New Plugin
+
+1. **Using templates** (recommended):
+```bash
+# See QUICK_START.md in plugin_templates/
+cd plugins
+mkdir my-plugin
+cd my-plugin
+cp ../../.cursor/plugin_templates/*.template .
+# Edit files, replacing PLUGIN_ID and other placeholders
+```
+
+2. **Using dev_plugin_setup.sh**:
+```bash
+# Link from GitHub
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github my-plugin
+
+# Link local repo
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link my-plugin /path/to/repo
+```
+
+### Running the Display
+
+```bash
+# Emulator mode (development, no hardware required)
+python3 run.py --emulator
+# (equivalent: EMULATOR=true python3 run.py)
+
+# Hardware (production, requires the rpi-rgb-led-matrix submodule built)
+python3 run.py
+
+# As a systemd service
+sudo systemctl start ledmatrix
+
+# Dev preview server (renders plugins to a browser without running run.py)
+python3 scripts/dev_server.py  # then open http://localhost:5001
+```
+
+The `-e`/`--emulator` CLI flag is defined in `run.py:19-20` and
+sets `os.environ["EMULATOR"] = "true"` before any display imports,
+which `src/display_manager.py:2` then reads to switch between the
+hardware and emulator backends.
+
+### Managing Plugins
+
+```bash
+# List plugins
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh list
+
+# Check status
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh status
+
+# Update plugin(s)
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh update [plugin-name]
+
+# Unlink plugin
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh unlink <plugin-name>
+```
+
+## Using These Files with Cursor
+
+### `.cursorrules`
+Cursor automatically reads this file to understand:
+- Plugin structure and requirements
+- Development workflows
+- Best practices
+- Common patterns
+- API reference
+
+When asking Cursor to help with plugins, it will use this context to provide better assistance.
+
+### Plugin Templates
+Use templates when creating new plugins:
+1. Copy templates from `.cursor/plugin_templates/`
+2. Replace placeholders (PLUGIN_ID, PluginClassName, etc.)
+3. Customize for your plugin's needs
+4. Follow the guide in `plugins_guide.md`
+
+### Documentation
+Refer to `plugins_guide.md` for:
+- Detailed explanations
+- Troubleshooting steps
+- Best practices
+- Examples and patterns
+
+## Plugin Development Workflow
+
+1. **Plan**: Determine plugin functionality and requirements
+2. **Create**: Use templates or dev_plugin_setup.sh to create plugin structure
+3. **Develop**: Implement plugin logic following BasePlugin interface
+4. **Test**: Test with emulator first, then on hardware
+5. **Configure**: Add plugin config to config/config.json
+6. **Iterate**: Refine based on testing and feedback
+
+## Resources
+
+- **Plugin System**: `src/plugin_system/`
+- **Base Plugin**: `src/plugin_system/base_plugin.py`
+- **Plugin Manager**: `src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py`
+- **Example Plugins**: see the
+  [`ledmatrix-plugins`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins)
+  repo for canonical sources (e.g. `plugins/hockey-scoreboard/`,
+  `plugins/football-scoreboard/`). Installed plugins land in
+  `plugin-repos/` (default) or `plugins/` (dev fallback).
+- **Architecture Docs**: `docs/PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md`
+- **Development Setup**: `scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh`

+# Implementation Plan: Fix Config Schema Validation Issues
+
+Based on audit results showing 186 issues across 20 plugins.
+
+## Overview
+
+Three priority fixes identified from audit:
+1. **Priority 1 (HIGH)**: Remove core properties from required array - will fix ~150 issues
+2. **Priority 2 (MEDIUM)**: Verify default merging logic - will fix remaining required field issues
+3. **Priority 3 (LOW)**: Calendar plugin schema cleanup - will fix 3 extra field warnings
+
+## Priority 1: Remove Core Properties from Required Array
+
+### Problem
+Core properties (`enabled`, `display_duration`, `live_priority`) are system-managed but listed in schema `required` arrays. SchemaManager injects them into properties but doesn't remove them from `required`, causing validation failures.
+
+### Solution
+**File**: `src/plugin_system/schema_manager.py`
+**Location**: `validate_config_against_schema()` method, after line 295
+
+### Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Add code to remove core properties from required array**:
+   ```python
+   # After injecting core properties (around line 295), add:
+   # Remove core properties from required array (they're system-managed)
+   if "required" in enhanced_schema:
+       core_prop_names = list(core_properties.keys())
+       enhanced_schema["required"] = [
+           field for field in enhanced_schema["required"] 
+           if field not in core_prop_names
+       ]
+   ```
+
+2. **Add logging for debugging** (optional but helpful):
+   ```python
+   if "required" in enhanced_schema and core_prop_names:
+       removed_from_required = [
+           field for field in enhanced_schema.get("required", [])
+           if field in core_prop_names
+       ]
+       if removed_from_required and plugin_id:
+           self.logger.debug(
+               f"Removed core properties from required array for {plugin_id}: {removed_from_required}"
+           )
+   ```
+
+3. **Test the fix**:
+   - Run audit script: `python scripts/audit_plugin_configs.py`
+   - Expected: Issue count drops from 186 to ~30-40
+   - All "enabled" related errors should be eliminated
+
+### Expected Outcome
+- All 20 plugins should no longer fail validation due to missing `enabled` field
+- ~150 issues resolved (all enabled-related validation errors)
+
+## Priority 2: Verify Default Merging Logic
+
+### Problem
+Some plugins have required fields with defaults that should be applied before validation. Need to verify the default merging happens correctly and handles nested objects.
+
+### Solution
+**File**: `web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py`
+**Location**: `save_plugin_config()` method, around lines 3218-3221
+
+### Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Review current default merging logic**:
+   - Check that `merge_with_defaults()` is called before validation (line 3220)
+   - Verify it's called after preserving enabled state but before validation
+
+2. **Verify merge_with_defaults handles nested objects**:
+   - Check `src/plugin_system/schema_manager.py` → `merge_with_defaults()` method
+   - Ensure it recursively merges nested objects (it does use deep_merge)
+   - Test with plugins that have nested required fields
+
+3. **Check if defaults are applied for nested required fields**:
+   - Review how `generate_default_config()` extracts defaults from nested schemas
+   - Verify nested required fields with defaults are included
+
+4. **Test with problematic plugins**:
+   - `ledmatrix-weather`: required fields `api_key`, `location_city` (check if defaults exist)
+   - `mqtt-notifications`: required field `mqtt` object (check if default exists)
+   - `text-display`: required field `text` (check if default exists)
+   - `ledmatrix-music`: required field `preferred_source` (check if default exists)
+
+5. **If defaults don't exist in schemas**:
+   - Either add defaults to schemas, OR
+   - Make fields optional in schemas if they're truly optional
+
+### Expected Outcome
+- Plugins with required fields that have schema defaults should pass validation
+- Issue count further reduced from ~30-40 to ~5-10
+
+## Priority 3: Calendar Plugin Schema Cleanup
+
+### Problem
+Calendar plugin config has fields not in schema:
+- `show_all_day` (config) but schema has `show_all_day_events` (field name mismatch)
+- `date_format` (not in schema, not used in manager.py)
+- `time_format` (not in schema, not used in manager.py)
+
+### Investigation Results
+- Schema defines: `show_all_day_events` (boolean, default: true)
+- Manager.py uses: `show_all_day_events` (line 82: `config.get('show_all_day_events', True)`)
+- Config has: `show_all_day` (wrong field name - should be `show_all_day_events`)
+- `date_format` and `time_format` appear to be deprecated (not used in manager.py)
+
+### Solution
+
+**File**: `config/config.json` → `calendar` section
+
+### Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Fix field name mismatch**:
+   - Rename `show_all_day` → `show_all_day_events` in config.json
+   - This matches the schema and manager.py code
+
+2. **Remove deprecated fields**:
+   - Remove `date_format` from config (not used in code)
+   - Remove `time_format` from config (not used in code)
+
+3. **Alternative (if fields are needed)**: Add `date_format` and `time_format` to schema
+   - Only if these fields should be supported
+   - Check if they're used anywhere else in the codebase
+
+4. **Test calendar plugin**:
+   - Run audit for calendar plugin specifically
+   - Verify no extra field warnings remain
+   - Test calendar plugin functionality to ensure it still works
+
+### Expected Outcome
+- Calendar plugin shows 0 extra field warnings
+- Final issue count: ~3-5 (only edge cases remain)
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### After Each Priority Fix
+
+1. **Run local audit**:
+   ```bash
+   python scripts/audit_plugin_configs.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Check issue count reduction**:
+   - Priority 1: Should drop from 186 to ~30-40
+   - Priority 2: Should drop from ~30-40 to ~5-10
+   - Priority 3: Should drop from ~5-10 to ~3-5
+
+3. **Review specific plugin results**:
+   ```bash
+   python scripts/audit_plugin_configs.py --plugin <plugin-id>
+   ```
+
+### After All Fixes
+
+1. **Full audit run**:
+   ```bash
+   python scripts/audit_plugin_configs.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Deploy to Pi**:
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/deploy_to_pi.sh src/plugin_system/schema_manager.py web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py
+   ```
+
+3. **Run audit on Pi**:
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/run_audit_on_pi.sh
+   ```
+
+4. **Manual web interface testing**:
+   - Access each problematic plugin's config page
+   - Try saving configuration
+   - Verify no validation errors appear
+   - Check that configs save successfully
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] Priority 1: All "enabled" related validation errors eliminated
+- [ ] Priority 1: Issue count reduced from 186 to ~30-40
+- [ ] Priority 2: Plugins with required fields + defaults pass validation
+- [ ] Priority 2: Issue count reduced to ~5-10
+- [ ] Priority 3: Calendar plugin extra field warnings resolved
+- [ ] Priority 3: Final issue count at ~3-5 (only edge cases)
+- [ ] All fixes work on Pi (not just local)
+- [ ] Web interface saves configs without validation errors
+
+## Files to Modify
+
+1. `src/plugin_system/schema_manager.py` - Remove core properties from required array
+2. `plugins/calendar/config_schema.json` OR `config/config.json` - Calendar cleanup (if needed)
+3. `web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py` - May need minor adjustments for default merging (if needed)
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+**Priority 1**: Low risk - Only affects validation logic, doesn't change behavior
+**Priority 2**: Low risk - Only ensures defaults are applied (already intended behavior)
+**Priority 3**: Very low risk - Only affects calendar plugin, cosmetic issue
+
+All changes are backward compatible and improve the system rather than changing core functionality.

+# Quick Start: Creating a New Plugin
+
+This guide will help you create a new plugin using the templates in `.cursor/plugin_templates/`.
+
+## Step 1: Create Plugin Directory
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/LEDMatrix
+mkdir -p plugins/my-plugin
+cd plugins/my-plugin
+```
+
+## Step 2: Copy Templates
+
+```bash
+# Copy all template files
+cp ../../.cursor/plugin_templates/manifest.json.template ./manifest.json
+cp ../../.cursor/plugin_templates/manager.py.template ./manager.py
+cp ../../.cursor/plugin_templates/config_schema.json.template ./config_schema.json
+cp ../../.cursor/plugin_templates/README.md.template ./README.md
+cp ../../.cursor/plugin_templates/requirements.txt.template ./requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Step 3: Customize Files
+
+### manifest.json
+
+Replace placeholders:
+- `PLUGIN_ID` → `my-plugin` (lowercase, use hyphens)
+- `Plugin Name` → Your plugin's display name
+- `PluginClassName` → `MyPlugin` (PascalCase)
+- Update description, author, homepage, etc.
+
+### manager.py
+
+Replace placeholders:
+- `PluginClassName` → `MyPlugin` (must match manifest)
+- Implement `_fetch_data()` method
+- Implement `_render_content()` method
+- Add any custom validation in `validate_config()`
+
+### config_schema.json
+
+Customize:
+- Update description
+- Add/remove configuration properties
+- Set default values
+- Add validation rules
+
+### README.md
+
+Replace placeholders:
+- `PLUGIN_ID` → `my-plugin`
+- `Plugin Name` → Your plugin's name
+- Fill in features, installation, configuration sections
+
+### requirements.txt
+
+Add your plugin's dependencies:
+```txt
+requests>=2.28.0
+pillow>=9.0.0
+```
+
+## Step 4: Enable Plugin
+
+Edit `config/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "my-plugin": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "display_duration": 15
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 5: Test Plugin
+
+### Test with Emulator
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/LEDMatrix
+python run.py --emulator
+```
+
+### Check Plugin Loading
+
+Look for logs like:
+```
+[INFO] Discovered 1 plugin(s)
+[INFO] Loaded plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
+[INFO] Added plugin mode: my-plugin
+```
+
+### Test Plugin Display
+
+The plugin should appear in the display rotation. Check logs for any errors.
+
+## Step 6: Develop and Iterate
+
+1. Edit `manager.py` to implement your plugin logic
+2. Test with emulator: `python run.py --emulator`
+3. Check logs for errors
+4. Iterate until working correctly
+
+## Step 7: Test on Hardware (Optional)
+
+When ready, test on Raspberry Pi:
+
+```bash
+# Deploy to Pi
+rsync -avz plugins/my-plugin/ pi@raspberrypi:/path/to/LEDMatrix/plugins/my-plugin/
+
+# Or if using git
+ssh pi@raspberrypi "cd /path/to/LEDMatrix/plugins/my-plugin && git pull"
+
+# Restart service
+ssh pi@raspberrypi "sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix"
+```
+
+## Common Customizations
+
+### Adding API Integration
+
+1. Add API key to `config_schema.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "api_key": {
+    "type": "string",
+    "description": "API key for service"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+2. Implement API call in `_fetch_data()`:
+```python
+import requests
+
+def _fetch_data(self):
+    response = requests.get(
+        "https://api.example.com/data",
+        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {self.api_key}"}
+    )
+    return response.json()
+```
+
+3. Store API key in `config/config_secrets.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "my-plugin": {
+    "api_key": "your-secret-key"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Adding Image Rendering
+
+There is no `draw_image()` helper on `DisplayManager`. To render an
+image, paste it directly onto the underlying PIL `Image`
+(`display_manager.image`) and then call `update_display()`:
+
+```python
+def _render_content(self):
+    # Load and paste image onto the display canvas
+    image = Image.open("assets/logo.png").convert("RGB")
+    self.display_manager.image.paste(image, (0, 0))
+
+    # Draw text overlay
+    self.display_manager.draw_text(
+        "Text",
+        x=10, y=20,
+        color=(255, 255, 255)
+    )
+
+    self.display_manager.update_display()
+```
+
+For transparency, paste with a mask:
+
+```python
+icon = Image.open("assets/icon.png").convert("RGBA")
+self.display_manager.image.paste(icon, (5, 5), icon)
+```
+
+
+### Adding Live Priority
+
+1. Enable in config:
+```json
+{
+  "my-plugin": {
+    "live_priority": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+2. Implement `has_live_content()`:
+```python
+def has_live_content(self) -> bool:
+    return self.data and self.data.get("is_live", False)
+```
+
+3. Override `get_live_modes()` if needed:
+```python
+def get_live_modes(self) -> list:
+    return ["my_plugin_live_mode"]
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Plugin Not Loading
+
+- Check `manifest.json` syntax (must be valid JSON)
+- Verify `entry_point` file exists
+- Ensure `class_name` matches class name in manager.py
+- Check for import errors in logs
+
+### Configuration Errors
+
+- Validate config against `config_schema.json`
+- Check required fields are present
+- Verify data types match schema
+
+### Display Issues
+
+- Check display dimensions: `display_manager.width`, `display_manager.height`
+- Verify coordinates are within bounds
+- Ensure `update_display()` is called
+- Test with emulator first
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Review existing plugins for patterns:
+  - `plugins/hockey-scoreboard/` - Sports scoreboard example
+  - `plugins/ledmatrix-music/` - Real-time data example
+  - `plugins/ledmatrix-stocks/` - Data display example
+
+- Read full documentation:
+  - `.cursor/plugins_guide.md` - Comprehensive guide
+  - `docs/PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md` - Architecture details
+  - `.cursorrules` - Development rules
+
+- Check plugin system code:
+  - `src/plugin_system/base_plugin.py` - Base class
+  - `src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py` - Plugin manager
+

+```json
+{
+  "PLUGIN_ID": {
+    "api_key": "your-secret-api-key"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Required Settings
+
+- `enabled` (boolean): Enable or disable the plugin
+- `api_key` (string): API key for external service (if required)
+
+### Optional Settings
+
+- `display_duration` (number): How long to display this plugin (default: 15 seconds)
+- `refresh_interval` (integer): How often to refresh data in seconds (default: 60)
+- `live_priority` (boolean): Enable live priority takeover (default: false)
+
+## Display Modes
+
+This plugin provides the following display modes:
+
+- `PLUGIN_ID`: Main display mode
+
+## API Requirements
+
+This plugin requires:
+
+- **API Name**: Description of API requirements
+  - URL: https://api.example.com
+  - Rate Limit: X requests per minute
+  - Authentication: API key required
+
+## Development
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+cd plugins/PLUGIN_ID
+python test_PLUGIN_ID.py
+```
+
+### Testing with Emulator
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/LEDMatrix
+python run.py --emulator
+```
+
+### Debugging
+
+Enable debug logging in `config/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "logging": {
+    "level": "DEBUG"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Check logs:
+
+```bash
+# On Raspberry Pi (if running as service)
+journalctl -u ledmatrix -f
+
+# Direct execution
+python run.py
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Plugin Not Loading
+
+1. Check that `manifest.json` exists and is valid
+2. Verify `entry_point` file exists
+3. Check that `class_name` matches the class in manager.py
+4. Review logs for import errors
+
+### Configuration Errors
+
+1. Validate config against `config_schema.json`
+2. Check required fields are present
+3. Verify data types match schema
+
+### API Errors
+
+1. Verify API key is correct
+2. Check API rate limits
+3. Review network connectivity
+4. Check API service status

+The LEDMatrix project uses a plugin-based architecture where all display functionality (except core calendar) is implemented as plugins. Plugins are dynamically loaded from the `plugins/` directory and integrated into the display rotation.
+
+### Plugin Architecture
+
+```
+LEDMatrix Core
+├── Plugin Manager (discovers, loads, manages plugins)
+├── Display Manager (handles LED matrix rendering)
+├── Cache Manager (data persistence)
+├── Config Manager (configuration management)
+└── Plugins/ (plugin directory)
+    ├── plugin-1/
+    ├── plugin-2/
+    └── ...
+```
+
+### Plugin Lifecycle
+
+1. **Discovery**: PluginManager scans `plugins/` for directories with `manifest.json`
+2. **Loading**: Plugin module is imported and class is instantiated
+3. **Configuration**: Plugin config is loaded from `config/config.json`
+4. **Validation**: `validate_config()` is called to verify configuration
+5. **Registration**: Plugin is added to available display modes
+6. **Execution**: `update()` is called periodically, `display()` is called during rotation
+

+
+## Creating a New Plugin
+
+### Method 1: Using dev_plugin_setup.sh (Recommended)
+
+This method is best for plugins stored in separate Git repositories.
+
+#### From GitHub Repository
+
+```bash
+# Link a plugin from GitHub (auto-detects URL)
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github <plugin-name>
+
+# Example: Link hockey-scoreboard plugin
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github hockey-scoreboard
+
+# With custom URL
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github <plugin-name> https://github.com/user/repo.git
+```
+
+The script will:
+- Clone the repository to `~/.ledmatrix-dev-plugins/` (or configured directory)
+- Create a symlink in `plugins/<plugin-name>/` pointing to the cloned repo
+- Validate the plugin structure
+
+#### From Local Repository
+
+```bash
+# Link a local plugin repository
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link <plugin-name> <path-to-repo>
+
+# Example: Link a local plugin
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link my-plugin ../ledmatrix-my-plugin
+```
+
+### Method 2: Manual Plugin Creation
+
+1. **Create Plugin Directory**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p plugins/my-plugin
+cd plugins/my-plugin
+```
+
+2. **Create manifest.json**
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "my-plugin",
+  "name": "My Plugin",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "author": "Your Name",
+  "description": "Description of what this plugin does",
+  "entry_point": "manager.py",
+  "class_name": "MyPlugin",
+  "category": "custom",
+  "tags": ["custom", "example"],
+  "display_modes": ["my_plugin"],
+  "update_interval": 60,
+  "default_duration": 15,
+  "requires": {
+    "python": ">=3.9"
+  },
+  "config_schema": "config_schema.json"
+}
+```
+
+3. **Create manager.py**
+
+```python
+from src.plugin_system.base_plugin import BasePlugin
+from PIL import Image
+import logging
+
+class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
+    """My custom plugin implementation."""
+    
+    def update(self):
+        """Fetch/update data for this plugin."""
+        # Fetch data from API, files, etc.
+        # Use self.cache_manager for caching
+        cache_key = f"{self.plugin_id}_data"
+        cached = self.cache_manager.get(cache_key, max_age=3600)
+        if cached:
+            self.data = cached
+            return
+        
+        # Fetch new data
+        self.data = self._fetch_data()
+        self.cache_manager.set(cache_key, self.data)
+    
+    def display(self, force_clear=False):
+        """Render this plugin's display."""
+        if force_clear:
+            self.display_manager.clear()
+        
+        # Render content using display_manager
+        self.display_manager.draw_text(
+            "Hello, World!",
+            x=10, y=15,
+            color=(255, 255, 255)
+        )
+        
+        self.display_manager.update_display()
+    
+    def _fetch_data(self):
+        """Fetch data from external source."""
+        # Implement your data fetching logic
+        return {"message": "Hello, World!"}
+    
+    def validate_config(self):
+        """Validate plugin configuration."""
+        # Check required config fields
+        if not super().validate_config():
+            return False
+        
+        # Add custom validation
+        required_fields = ['api_key']  # Example
+        for field in required_fields:
+            if field not in self.config:
+                self.logger.error(f"Missing required field: {field}")
+                return False
+        
+        return True
+```
+
+4. **Create config_schema.json**
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": {
+    "enabled": {
+      "type": "boolean",
+      "default": true,
+      "description": "Enable or disable this plugin"
+    },
+    "display_duration": {
+      "type": "number",
+      "default": 15,
+      "minimum": 1,
+      "description": "How long to display this plugin (seconds)"
+    },
+    "api_key": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "description": "API key for external service"
+    }
+  },
+  "required": ["enabled"]
+}
+```
+
+5. **Create requirements.txt** (if needed)
+
+```
+requests>=2.28.0
+pillow>=9.0.0
+```
+
+6. **Create README.md**
+
+Document your plugin's functionality, configuration options, and usage.
+

+
+## Running Plugins
+
+### Development Mode (Emulator)
+
+Run the LEDMatrix system with emulator for plugin testing:
+
+```bash
+# Using run.py
+python run.py --emulator
+
+# Using emulator script
+./run_emulator.sh
+```
+
+The emulator will:
+- Load all enabled plugins
+- Display plugin content in a window (simulating LED matrix)
+- Show logs for plugin loading and execution
+- Allow testing without Raspberry Pi hardware
+
+### Production Mode (Raspberry Pi)
+
+Run on actual Raspberry Pi hardware:
+
+```bash
+# Direct execution
+python run.py
+
+# As systemd service
+sudo systemctl start ledmatrix
+sudo systemctl status ledmatrix
+sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -f  # View logs
+```
+
+### Plugin-Specific Testing
+
+Test individual plugin loading:
+
+```python
+# test_my_plugin.py
+from src.plugin_system.plugin_manager import PluginManager
+from src.config_manager import ConfigManager
+from src.display_manager import DisplayManager
+from src.cache_manager import CacheManager
+
+# Initialize managers
+config_manager = ConfigManager()
+config = config_manager.load_config()
+display_manager = DisplayManager(config)
+cache_manager = CacheManager()
+
+# Initialize plugin manager
+plugin_manager = PluginManager(
+    plugins_dir="plugins",
+    config_manager=config_manager,
+    display_manager=display_manager,
+    cache_manager=cache_manager
+)
+
+# Discover and load plugin
+plugins = plugin_manager.discover_plugins()
+print(f"Discovered plugins: {plugins}")
+
+if "my-plugin" in plugins:
+    if plugin_manager.load_plugin("my-plugin"):
+        plugin = plugin_manager.get_plugin("my-plugin")
+        plugin.update()
+        plugin.display()
+        print("Plugin loaded and displayed successfully!")
+    else:
+        print("Failed to load plugin")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Loading Plugins
+
+### Enabling Plugins
+
+Plugins are enabled/disabled in `config/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "my-plugin": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "display_duration": 15,
+    "api_key": "your-api-key-here"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Plugin Configuration Structure
+
+Each plugin has its own section in `config/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "<plugin-id>": {
+    "enabled": true,                    // Enable/disable plugin
+    "display_duration": 15,             // Display duration in seconds
+    "live_priority": false,             // Enable live priority takeover
+    "high_performance_transitions": false, // Use 120 FPS transitions
+    "transition": {                     // Transition configuration
+      "type": "redraw",                 // Transition type
+      "speed": 2,                       // Transition speed
+      "enabled": true                   // Enable transitions
+    },
+    // ... plugin-specific configuration
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Secrets Management
+
+Store sensitive data (API keys, tokens) in `config/config_secrets.json`
+under the same plugin id you use in `config/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "my-plugin": {
+    "api_key": "secret-api-key-here"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+At load time, the config manager deep-merges `config_secrets.json` into
+the main config (verified at `src/config_manager.py:162-172`). So in
+your plugin's code:
+
+```python
+class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
+    def __init__(self, plugin_id, config, display_manager, cache_manager, plugin_manager):
+        super().__init__(plugin_id, config, display_manager, cache_manager, plugin_manager)
+        self.api_key = config.get("api_key")  # already merged from secrets
+```
+
+There is no separate `config_secrets` reference field — just put the
+secret value under the same plugin namespace and read it from the
+merged config.
+
+### Plugin Discovery
+
+Plugins are automatically discovered when:
+- Directory exists in `plugins/`
+- Directory contains `manifest.json`
+- Manifest has required fields (`id`, `entry_point`, `class_name`)
+
+Check discovered plugins:
+
+```bash
+# Using dev_plugin_setup.sh
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh list
+
+# Output shows:
+# ✓ plugin-name (symlink)
+#   → /path/to/repo
+#   ✓ Git repo is clean (branch: main)
+```
+
+### Plugin Status
+
+Check plugin status and git information:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh status
+
+# Output shows:
+# ✓ plugin-name
+#   Path: /path/to/repo
+#   Branch: main
+#   Remote: https://github.com/user/repo.git
+#   Status: Clean and up to date
+```
+
+---
+
+## Plugin Development Workflow
+
+### 1. Initial Setup
+
+```bash
+# Create or clone plugin repository
+git clone https://github.com/user/ledmatrix-my-plugin.git
+cd ledmatrix-my-plugin
+
+# Link to LEDMatrix project
+cd /path/to/LEDMatrix
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link my-plugin ../ledmatrix-my-plugin
+```
+
+### 2. Development Cycle
+
+1. **Edit plugin code** in linked repository
+2. **Test with the dev preview server**:
+   `python3 scripts/dev_server.py` (then open `http://localhost:5001`).
+   Or run the full display in emulator mode with
+   `python3 run.py --emulator` (or equivalently
+   `EMULATOR=true python3 run.py`). The `-e`/`--emulator` CLI flag is
+   defined in `run.py:19-20` and sets the same `EMULATOR` environment
+   variable internally.
+3. **Check logs** for errors or warnings
+4. **Update configuration** in `config/config.json` if needed
+5. **Iterate** until plugin works correctly
+
+### 3. Testing on Hardware
+
+```bash
+# Deploy to Raspberry Pi
+rsync -avz plugins/my-plugin/ ledpi@your-pi-ip:/path/to/LEDMatrix/plugins/my-plugin/
+
+# Or if using git, pull on Pi
+ssh ledpi@your-pi-ip "cd /path/to/LEDMatrix/plugins/my-plugin && git pull"
+
+# Restart service
+ssh ledpi@your-pi-ip "sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix"
+```
+
+### 4. Updating Plugins
+
+```bash
+# Update single plugin from git
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh update my-plugin
+
+# Update all linked plugins
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh update
+```
+
+### 5. Unlinking Plugins
+
+```bash
+# Remove symlink (preserves repository)
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh unlink my-plugin
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Plugins
+
+### Unit Testing
+
+Create test files in plugin directory:
+
+```python
+# plugins/my-plugin/test_my_plugin.py
+import unittest
+from unittest.mock import Mock, MagicMock
+from manager import MyPlugin
+
+class TestMyPlugin(unittest.TestCase):
+    def setUp(self):
+        self.config = {"enabled": True}
+        self.display_manager = Mock()
+        self.cache_manager = Mock()
+        self.plugin_manager = Mock()
+        
+        self.plugin = MyPlugin(
+            plugin_id="my-plugin",
+            config=self.config,
+            display_manager=self.display_manager,
+            cache_manager=self.cache_manager,
+            plugin_manager=self.plugin_manager
+        )
+    
+    def test_plugin_initialization(self):
+        self.assertEqual(self.plugin.plugin_id, "my-plugin")
+        self.assertTrue(self.plugin.enabled)
+    
+    def test_config_validation(self):
+        self.assertTrue(self.plugin.validate_config())
+    
+    def test_update(self):
+        self.cache_manager.get.return_value = None
+        self.plugin.update()
+        # Assert data was fetched and cached
+    
+    def test_display(self):
+        self.plugin.display()
+        self.display_manager.draw_text.assert_called()
+        self.display_manager.update_display.assert_called()
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    unittest.main()
+```
+
+Run tests:
+
+```bash
+cd plugins/my-plugin
+python -m pytest test_my_plugin.py
+# or
+python test_my_plugin.py
+```
+
+### Integration Testing
+
+Test plugin with actual managers:
+
+```python
+# test_plugin_integration.py
+from src.plugin_system.plugin_manager import PluginManager
+from src.config_manager import ConfigManager
+from src.display_manager import DisplayManager
+from src.cache_manager import CacheManager
+
+def test_plugin_loading():
+    config_manager = ConfigManager()
+    config = config_manager.load_config()
+    display_manager = DisplayManager(config)
+    cache_manager = CacheManager()
+    
+    plugin_manager = PluginManager(
+        plugins_dir="plugins",
+        config_manager=config_manager,
+        display_manager=display_manager,
+        cache_manager=cache_manager
+    )
+    
+    plugins = plugin_manager.discover_plugins()
+    assert "my-plugin" in plugins
+    
+    assert plugin_manager.load_plugin("my-plugin")
+    plugin = plugin_manager.get_plugin("my-plugin")
+    assert plugin is not None
+    assert plugin.enabled
+    
+    plugin.update()
+    plugin.display()
+```
+
+### Emulator Testing
+
+Test plugin rendering visually:
+
+```bash
+# Run with emulator
+python run.py --emulator
+
+# Plugin should appear in display rotation
+# Check logs for plugin loading and execution
+```
+
+### Hardware Testing
+
+1. Deploy plugin to Raspberry Pi
+2. Enable in `config/config.json`
+3. Restart LEDMatrix service
+4. Observe LED matrix display
+5. Check logs: `journalctl -u ledmatrix -f`
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Plugin Not Loading
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin doesn't appear in available modes, no logs about plugin
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check plugin directory exists: `ls plugins/my-plugin/`
+2. Verify `manifest.json` exists and is valid JSON
+3. Check manifest has required fields: `id`, `entry_point`, `class_name`
+4. Verify entry_point file exists: `ls plugins/my-plugin/manager.py`
+5. Check class name matches: `grep "class.*Plugin" plugins/my-plugin/manager.py`
+6. Review logs for import errors
+
+### Plugin Loading but Not Displaying
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin loads successfully but doesn't appear in rotation
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check plugin is enabled: `config/config.json` has `"enabled": true`
+2. Verify display_modes in manifest match config
+3. Check plugin is in rotation schedule
+4. Review `display()` method for errors
+5. Check logs for runtime errors
+
+### Configuration Errors
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin fails to load, validation errors in logs
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Validate config against `config_schema.json`
+2. Check required fields are present
+3. Verify data types match schema
+4. Check for typos in config keys
+5. Review `validate_config()` method
+
+### Import Errors
+
+**Symptoms**: ModuleNotFoundError or ImportError in logs
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Install plugin dependencies: `pip install -r plugins/my-plugin/requirements.txt`
+2. Check Python path includes plugin directory
+3. Verify relative imports are correct
+4. Check for circular import issues
+5. Ensure all dependencies are in requirements.txt
+
+### Display Issues
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin renders incorrectly or not at all
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check display dimensions: `display_manager.width`, `display_manager.height`
+2. Verify coordinates are within display bounds
+3. Check color values are valid (0-255)
+4. Ensure `update_display()` is called after rendering
+5. Test with emulator first to debug rendering
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+**Symptoms**: Slow display updates, high CPU usage
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Use `cache_manager` to avoid excessive API calls
+2. Implement background data fetching
+3. Optimize rendering code
+4. Consider using `high_performance_transitions`
+5. Profile plugin code to identify bottlenecks
+
+### Git/Symlink Issues
+
+**Symptoms**: Plugin changes not appearing, broken symlinks
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Check symlink: `ls -la plugins/my-plugin`
+2. Verify target exists: `readlink -f plugins/my-plugin`
+3. Update plugin: `./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh update my-plugin`
+4. Re-link plugin if needed: `./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh unlink my-plugin && ./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link my-plugin <path>`
+5. Check git status: `cd plugins/my-plugin && git status`
+

+
+# Python Coding Standards
+
+## Code Quality Principles
+- **Simplicity First**: Prefer clear, readable code over clever optimizations
+- **Explicit over Implicit**: Make intentions clear through naming and structure
+- **Fail Fast**: Validate inputs and handle errors early
+- **Documentation**: Use docstrings for classes and complex functions
+
+## Naming Conventions
+- **Classes**: PascalCase (e.g., `NHLRecentManager`)
+- **Functions/Variables**: snake_case (e.g., `fetch_game_data`)
+- **Constants**: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., `ESPN_NHL_SCOREBOARD_URL`)
+- **Private methods**: Leading underscore (e.g., `_fetch_data`)
+
+## Error Handling
+- **Logging**: Use structured logging with context (e.g., `[NHL Recent]`)
+- **Exceptions**: Catch specific exceptions, not bare `except:`
+- **User-friendly messages**: Explain what went wrong and potential solutions
+- **Graceful degradation**: Continue operation when non-critical features fail
+
+## Manager Pattern
+All sports managers should follow this structure:
+```python
+class BaseManager:
+    def __init__(self, config, display_manager, cache_manager)
+    def update(self)  # Fetch and process data
+    def display(self, force_clear=False)  # Render to display
+```
+
+## Configuration Management
+- **Type hints**: Use for function parameters and return values
+- **Configuration validation**: Check required fields on initialization
+- **Default values**: Provide sensible defaults in code, not config
+- **Environment awareness**: Handle different deployment contexts

+- **Validation**: Check required fields and data types on startup
+- **Defaults**: Provide sensible defaults in code, not just config
+- **Environment awareness**: Handle development vs production differences
+- **Security**: Never commit secrets to version control
+
+## Manager Configuration Pattern
+```python
+def __init__(self, config, display_manager, cache_manager):
+    self.mode_config = config.get("sport_scoreboard", {})
+    self.favorite_teams = self.mode_config.get("favorite_teams", [])
+    self.show_favorite_only = self.mode_config.get("show_favorite_teams_only", False)
+```
+
+## Required Configuration Sections
+- **Display settings**: Update intervals, display durations
+- **API settings**: Timeouts, retry logic, rate limiting
+- **Background service**: Threading, caching, priority settings
+- **Team preferences**: Favorite teams, filtering options
+
+## Configuration Validation
+- **Type checking**: Ensure numeric values are numbers, lists are lists
+- **Range validation**: Check that intervals are reasonable
+- **Dependency checking**: Verify required services are available
+- **Fallback values**: Provide defaults when config is missing or invalid
+
+## Best Practices
+- **Documentation**: Comment complex configuration options
+- **Examples**: Provide working examples in templates
+- **Migration**: Handle configuration changes between versions
+- **Testing**: Validate configuration in test environments

+# Error Handling and Logging
+
+## Logging Standards
+- **Structured prefixes**: Use consistent tags like `[NHL Recent]`, `[NFL Live]`
+- **Context information**: Include relevant details (team names, game status, dates)
+- **Appropriate levels**: 
+  - `info`: Normal operations and status updates
+  - `debug`: Detailed information for troubleshooting
+  - `warning`: Non-critical issues that should be noted
+  - `error`: Problems that need attention
+
+## Error Handling Patterns
+```python
+try:
+    data = self._fetch_data()
+    if not data or 'events' not in data:
+        self.logger.warning("[Manager] No events found in API response")
+        return
+except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
+    self.logger.error(f"[Manager] API error: {e}")
+    return None
+```
+
+## User-Friendly Messages
+- **Explain the situation**: "No games available during off-season"
+- **Provide context**: "NHL season typically runs October-June"
+- **Suggest solutions**: "Check back when season starts"
+- **Distinguish issues**: API problems vs no data vs filtering results
+
+## Graceful Degradation
+- **Fallback content**: Show alternative games when favorites unavailable
+- **Cached data**: Use cached data when API fails
+- **Service continuity**: Continue operation when non-critical features fail
+- **Clear communication**: Explain what's happening to users
+
+## Debugging Support
+- **Comprehensive logging**: Log API responses, filtering results, display updates
+- **State tracking**: Log current state and transitions
+- **Performance monitoring**: Track timing and resource usage
+- **Error context**: Include stack traces for debugging
+
+## Off-Season Awareness
+- **Seasonal messaging**: Different messages for different times of year
+- **Helpful context**: Explain why no games are available
+- **Future planning**: Mention when season starts
+- **Realistic expectations**: Set appropriate expectations during off-season

+
+## Development Workflow
+- **Local development**: Write and test code on Windows
+- **Pi deployment**: Deploy and test on actual Pi hardware
+- **SSH access**: Use SSH for Pi-based testing and debugging
+- **Service management**: Use systemd services for production deployment
+
+## Testing Strategy
+- **Unit tests**: Test logic without hardware dependencies

+
+## Manager Architecture
+All sports managers inherit from base classes and follow consistent patterns:
+- **Base classes**: [src/nhl_managers.py](mdc:src/nhl_managers.py), [src/nfl_managers.py](mdc:src/nfl_managers.py)
+- **Common functionality**: Data fetching, caching, display rendering
+- **Configuration-driven**: Behavior controlled via config sections
+
+## Required Methods
+```python
+def __init__(self, config, display_manager, cache_manager)
+def update(self)  # Fetch fresh data
+def display(self, force_clear=False)  # Render current data
+```
+
+## Data Flow Pattern
+1. **Fetch**: Get data from API (with caching)
+2. **Process**: Extract relevant game information
+3. **Filter**: Apply favorite team preferences
+4. **Display**: Render to LED matrix
+
+## Logging Standards
+- **Structured prefixes**: `[NHL Recent]`, `[NFL Live]`, etc.
+- **Context information**: Include team names, game status, dates
+- **Debug levels**: Use appropriate log levels (info, debug, warning, error)
+- **User-friendly messages**: Explain what's happening and why
+
+## Error Handling
+- **API failures**: Log and continue with cached data if available
+- **No data scenarios**: Distinguish between API issues vs no games available
+- **Off-season awareness**: Provide helpful context during non-active periods
+- **Fallback behavior**: Show alternative content when preferred content unavailable
+
+## Configuration Integration
+- **Required settings**: Validate on initialization
+- **Optional settings**: Provide sensible defaults
+- **Background service**: Use for non-blocking data fetching
+- **Caching strategy**: Implement intelligent cache management

+# Testing Standards
+
+## Test Organization
+- **Test directory**: [test/](mdc:test/) - All test files
+- **Unit tests**: Test individual components in isolation
+- **Integration tests**: Test component interactions
+- **Hardware tests**: Validate on Raspberry Pi with actual LED matrix
+
+## Testing Principles
+- **Test behavior, not implementation**: Focus on what the code does, not how
+- **Mock external dependencies**: Use mocks for APIs, display managers, cache
+- **Test edge cases**: Empty data, API failures, configuration errors
+- **Pi-specific testing**: Validate hardware integration
+
+## Test Structure
+```python
+def test_manager_initialization():
+    """Test that manager initializes with valid config"""
+    config = {"sport_scoreboard": {"enabled": True}}
+    manager = ManagerClass(config, mock_display, mock_cache)

+
+def test_api_failure_handling():
+    """Test graceful handling of API failures"""
+    # Test that system continues when API fails
+    # Verify fallback to cached data
+    # Check appropriate error logging
+```
+
+## Mock Patterns
+- **Display Manager**: Mock for testing without hardware
+- **Cache Manager**: Mock for testing data persistence
+- **API responses**: Mock for consistent test data
+- **Configuration**: Use test-specific configs
+
+## Test Categories
+- **Unit tests**: Individual manager methods
+- **Integration tests**: Manager interactions with services
+- **Configuration tests**: Validate config loading and validation
+- **Error handling tests**: API failures, invalid data, edge cases
+
+## Testing Best Practices
+- **Descriptive names**: Test names should explain what they test
+- **Single responsibility**: Each test should verify one thing
+- **Independent tests**: Tests should not depend on each other
+- **Clean setup/teardown**: Reset state between tests
+- **Pi compatibility**: Ensure tests work in Pi environment

+# LEDMatrix Plugin Development Rules
+
+## Plugin System Overview
+
+The LEDMatrix project uses a plugin-based architecture. All display
+functionality (except core calendar) is implemented as plugins that are
+dynamically loaded from the directory configured by
+`plugin_system.plugins_directory` in `config.json` — the default is
+`plugin-repos/` (per `config/config.template.json:130`).
+
+> **Fallback note (scoped):** `PluginManager.discover_plugins()`
+> (`src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py:154`) only scans the
+> configured directory — there is no fallback to `plugins/` in the
+> main discovery path. A fallback to `plugins/` does exist in two
+> narrower places:
+> - `store_manager.py:1700-1718` — store operations (install/update/
+>   uninstall) check `plugins/` if the plugin isn't found in the
+>   configured directory, so plugin-store flows work even when your
+>   dev symlinks live in `plugins/`.
+> - `schema_manager.py:70-80` — `get_schema_path()` probes both
+>   `plugins/` and `plugin-repos/` for `config_schema.json` so the
+>   web UI form generation finds the schema regardless of where the
+>   plugin lives.
+>
+> The dev workflow in `scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh` creates
+> symlinks under `plugins/`, which is why the store and schema
+> fallbacks exist. For day-to-day development, set
+> `plugin_system.plugins_directory` to `plugins` so the main
+> discovery path picks up your symlinks.
+
+## Plugin Structure
+
+### Required Files
+- **manifest.json**: Plugin metadata, entry point, class name, dependencies
+- **manager.py**: Main plugin class (must inherit from `BasePlugin`)
+- **config_schema.json**: JSON schema for plugin configuration validation
+- **requirements.txt**: Python dependencies (if any)
+- **README.md**: Plugin documentation
+
+### Plugin Class Requirements
+- Must inherit from `src.plugin_system.base_plugin.BasePlugin`
+- Must implement `update()` method for data fetching
+- Must implement `display()` method for rendering
+- Should implement `validate_config()` for configuration validation
+- Optional: Override `has_live_content()` for live priority features
+
+## Plugin Development Workflow
+
+### 1. Creating a New Plugin
+
+**Option A: Use dev_plugin_setup.sh (Recommended)**
+```bash
+# Link from GitHub
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github <plugin-name>
+
+# Link local repository
+./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link <plugin-name> <path-to-repo>
+```
+
+**Option B: Manual Setup**
+1. Create directory in `plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/` (or `plugins/<plugin-id>/`
+   if you're using the dev fallback location)
+2. Add `manifest.json` with required fields
+3. Create `manager.py` with plugin class
+4. Add `config_schema.json` for configuration
+5. Enable plugin in `config/config.json` under `"<plugin-id>": {"enabled": true}`
+
+### 2. Plugin Configuration
+
+Plugins are configured in `config/config.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "<plugin-id>": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "display_duration": 15,
+    "live_priority": false,
+    "high_performance_transitions": false,
+    "transition": {
+      "type": "redraw",
+      "speed": 2,
+      "enabled": true
+    },
+    // ... plugin-specific config
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Testing Plugins
+
+**On Development Machine:**
+- Run the dev preview server: `python3 scripts/dev_server.py` (then
+  open `http://localhost:5001`) — renders plugins in the browser
+  without running the full display loop
+- Or run the full display in emulator mode:
+  `python3 run.py --emulator` (or equivalently
+  `EMULATOR=true python3 run.py`, or `./scripts/dev/run_emulator.sh`).
+  The `-e`/`--emulator` CLI flag is defined in `run.py:19-20`.
+- Test plugin loading: Check logs for plugin discovery and loading
+- Validate configuration: Ensure config matches `config_schema.json`
+
+**On Raspberry Pi:**
+- Deploy and test on actual hardware
+- Monitor logs: `journalctl -u ledmatrix -f` (if running as service)
+- Check plugin status in web interface
+
+### 4. Plugin Development Best Practices
+
+**Code Organization:**
+- Keep plugin code in `plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/` (or its dev-time
+  symlink in `plugins/<plugin-id>/`)
+- Use shared assets from `assets/` directory when possible
+- Follow existing plugin patterns — canonical sources live in the
+  [`ledmatrix-plugins`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins)
+  repo (`plugins/hockey-scoreboard/`, `plugins/football-scoreboard/`,
+  `plugins/clock-simple/`, etc.)
+- Place shared utilities in `src/common/` if reusable across plugins
+
+**Configuration Management:**
+- Use `config_schema.json` for validation
+- Store secrets in `config/config_secrets.json` under the same plugin
+  id namespace as the main config — they're deep-merged into the main
+  config at load time (`src/config_manager.py:162-172`), so plugin
+  code reads them directly from `config.get(...)` like any other key
+- There is no separate `config_secrets` reference field
+- Validate all required fields in `validate_config()`
+
+**Error Handling:**
+- Use plugin's logger: `self.logger.info/error/warning()`
+- Handle API failures gracefully
+- Cache data to avoid excessive API calls
+- Provide fallback displays when data unavailable
+
+**Performance:**
+- Use `cache_manager` for API response caching
+- Implement background data fetching if needed
+- Use `high_performance_transitions` for smoother animations
+- Optimize rendering for Pi's limited resources
+
+**Display Rendering:**
+- Use `display_manager` for all drawing operations
+- Support different display sizes (check `display_manager.width/height`)
+- Use `apply_transition()` for smooth transitions between displays
+- Clear display before rendering: `display_manager.clear()`
+- Always call `display_manager.update_display()` after rendering
+
+## Plugin API Reference
+
+### BasePlugin Class
+Located in: `src/plugin_system/base_plugin.py`
+
+**Required Methods:**
+- `update()`: Fetch/update data (called based on `update_interval` in manifest)
+- `display(force_clear=False)`: Render plugin content
+
+**Optional Methods:**
+- `validate_config()`: Validate plugin configuration
+- `has_live_content()`: Return True if plugin has live/urgent content
+- `get_live_modes()`: Return list of modes for live priority
+- `cleanup()`: Clean up resources on unload
+- `on_config_change(new_config)`: Handle config updates
+- `on_enable()`: Called when plugin enabled
+- `on_disable()`: Called when plugin disabled
+
+**Available Properties:**
+- `self.plugin_id`: Plugin identifier
+- `self.config`: Plugin configuration dict
+- `self.display_manager`: Display manager instance
+- `self.cache_manager`: Cache manager instance
+- `self.plugin_manager`: Plugin manager reference
+- `self.logger`: Plugin-specific logger
+- `self.enabled`: Boolean enabled status
+- `self.transition_manager`: Transition system (if available)
+
+### Display Manager
+Located in: `src/display_manager.py`
+
+**Key Methods:**
+- `clear()`: Clear the display
+- `draw_text(text, x, y, color, font, small_font, centered)`: Draw text
+- `update_display()`: Push the buffer to the physical display
+- `draw_weather_icon(condition, x, y, size)`: Draw a weather icon
+- `width`, `height`: Display dimensions
+
+**Image rendering**: there is no `draw_image()` helper. Paste directly
+onto the underlying PIL Image:
+```python
+self.display_manager.image.paste(pil_image, (x, y))
+self.display_manager.update_display()
+```
+For transparency, paste with a mask: `image.paste(rgba, (x, y), rgba)`.
+
+### Cache Manager
+Located in: `src/cache_manager.py`
+
+**Key Methods:**
+- `get(key, max_age=300)`: Get cached value (returns None if missing/stale)
+- `set(key, value, ttl=None)`: Cache a value
+- `clear_cache(key=None)`: Remove a cache entry, or all entries if `key`
+  is omitted. There is no `delete()` method.
+- `get_cached_data_with_strategy(key, data_type)`: Cache get with
+  data-type-aware TTL strategy
+- `get_background_cached_data(key, sport_key)`: Cache get for the
+  background-fetch service path
+
+## Plugin Manifest Schema
+
+Required fields in `manifest.json`:
+- `id`: Unique plugin identifier (matches directory name)
+- `name`: Human-readable plugin name
+- `version`: Semantic version (e.g., "1.0.0")
+- `entry_point`: Python file (usually "manager.py")
+- `class_name`: Plugin class name (must match class in entry_point)
+- `display_modes`: Array of mode names this plugin provides
+
+Common optional fields:
+- `description`: Plugin description
+- `author`: Plugin author
+- `homepage`: Plugin homepage URL
+- `category`: Plugin category (e.g., "sports", "weather")
+- `tags`: Array of tags
+- `update_interval`: Seconds between update() calls (default: 60)
+- `default_duration`: Default display duration (default: 15)
+- `requires`: Python version, display size requirements
+- `config_schema`: Path to config schema file
+- `api_requirements`: API dependencies and rate limits
+
+## Plugin Loading Process
+
+1. **Discovery**: PluginManager scans `plugins/` directory for directories containing `manifest.json`
+2. **Validation**: Validates manifest structure and required fields
+3. **Loading**: Imports plugin module and instantiates plugin class
+4. **Configuration**: Loads plugin config from `config/config.json`
+5. **Validation**: Calls `validate_config()` on plugin instance
+6. **Registration**: Adds plugin to available modes and stores instance
+7. **Enablement**: Calls `on_enable()` if plugin is enabled
+
+## Common Plugin Patterns
+
+### Sports Scoreboard Plugin
+- Use `background_data_service.py` pattern for API fetching
+- Implement live/recent/upcoming game modes
+- Use `scoreboard_renderer.py` for consistent rendering
+- Support team filtering and game filtering
+- Use shared sports logos from `assets/sports/`
+
+### Data Display Plugin
+- Fetch data in `update()` method
+- Cache API responses using `cache_manager`
+- Render in `display()` method
+- Handle API errors gracefully
+- Provide configuration for refresh intervals
+
+### Real-time Content Plugin
+- Implement `has_live_content()` for live priority
+- Use `get_live_modes()` to specify which modes are live
+- Set `live_priority: true` in config to enable live takeover
+- Update data frequently when live content exists
+
+## Debugging Plugins
+
+**Check Plugin Loading:**
+- Review logs for plugin discovery messages
+- Verify manifest.json syntax is valid JSON
+- Check that class_name matches actual class name
+- Ensure entry_point file exists and is importable
+
+**Check Plugin Execution:**
+- Add logging statements in `update()` and `display()`
+- Use `self.logger` for plugin-specific logging
+- Check cache_manager for cached data
+- Verify display_manager is rendering correctly
+
+**Common Issues:**
+- Import errors: Check Python path and dependencies
+- Config errors: Validate against config_schema.json
+- Display issues: Check display dimensions and coordinate calculations
+- Performance: Monitor CPU/memory usage on Pi
+
+## Plugin Testing
+
+**Unit Tests:**
+- Test plugin class instantiation
+- Test `update()` data fetching logic
+- Test `display()` rendering logic
+- Test `validate_config()` with various configs
+- Mock `display_manager` and `cache_manager` for testing
+
+**Integration Tests:**
+- Test plugin loading via PluginManager
+- Test plugin with actual config
+- Test plugin with emulator display
+- Test plugin with cache_manager
+
+**Hardware Tests:**
+- Test on Raspberry Pi with LED matrix
+- Verify display rendering on actual hardware
+- Test performance under load
+- Test with other plugins enabled
+
+## File Organization
+
+```
+plugins/
+  <plugin-id>/
+    manifest.json          # Plugin metadata
+    manager.py             # Main plugin class
+    config_schema.json     # Config validation schema
+    requirements.txt       # Python dependencies
+    README.md             # Plugin documentation
+    # Plugin-specific files
+    data_manager.py
+    renderer.py
+    etc.
+```
+
+## Git Workflow for Plugins
+
+**Plugin Development:**
+- Plugins are typically separate repositories
+- Use `dev_plugin_setup.sh` to link plugins for development
+- Symlinks are used to connect plugin repos to `plugins/` directory
+- Plugin repos follow naming: `ledmatrix-<plugin-name>`
+
+**Branching:**
+- Develop plugins in feature branches
+- Follow project branching conventions
+- Test plugins before merging to main
+
+**Automatic Version Bumping:**
+- **Automatic Version Management**: Version bumping is handled automatically via the pre-push git hook - no manual version bumping is required for normal development workflows
+- **GitHub as Source of Truth**: Plugin store always fetches latest versions from GitHub (releases/tags/manifest/commit)
+- **Pre-Push Hook**: Automatically bumps patch version and creates git tags when pushing code changes
+  - The hook is self-contained (no external dependencies) and works on any dev machine
+  - Installation: Copy the hook from LEDMatrix repo to your plugin repo:
+    ```bash
+    # From your plugin repository directory
+    cp /path/to/LEDMatrix/scripts/git-hooks/pre-push-plugin-version .git/hooks/pre-push
+    chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push
+    ```
+  - Or use the installer script from the main LEDMatrix repo (one-time setup)
+  - The hook automatically:
+    1. Bumps the patch version (x.y.Z) in manifest.json when code changes are detected
+    2. Creates a git tag (v{version}) for the new version
+    3. Stages manifest.json for commit
+  - Skip auto-tagging: Set `SKIP_TAG=1` environment variable before pushing
+- **Manual Version Bumping (Edge Cases Only)**: Manual version bumps are only needed in rare circumstances:
+  - CI/CD pipelines that bypass git hooks
+  - Forked repositories without the pre-push hook installed
+  - Major/minor version bumps (hook only handles patch versions)
+  - When skipping auto-tagging but still needing a version bump
+  - For manual bumps, use the standalone script: `scripts/bump_plugin_version.py`
+- **Registry**: The plugin registry (plugins.json) stores only metadata (name, description, repo URL) - no versions
+- **Version Priority**: Plugin store checks versions in this order: GitHub Releases → GitHub Tags → Manifest from branch → Git commit hash
+
+## Resources
+
+- Plugin System Docs: `docs/PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md`
+- Plugin Examples: `plugins/hockey-scoreboard/`, `plugins/football-scoreboard/`
+- Base Plugin: `src/plugin_system/base_plugin.py`
+- Plugin Manager: `src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py`
+- Development Setup: `dev_plugin_setup.sh`

-# LEDMatrix Cache Strategy Analysis
-
-## Current Implementation
-
-Your LEDMatrix system uses a sophisticated multi-tier caching strategy that balances data freshness with API efficiency.
-
-### Cache Duration Categories
-
-#### 1. **Ultra Time-Sensitive Data (15-60 seconds)**
-- **Live Sports Scores**: Now respects sport-specific `live_update_interval` configuration
-  - Soccer live data: Uses `soccer_scoreboard.live_update_interval` (default: 60 seconds)
-  - NFL live data: Uses `nfl_scoreboard.live_update_interval` (default: 60 seconds)
-  - NHL live data: Uses `nhl_scoreboard.live_update_interval` (default: 60 seconds)
-  - NBA live data: Uses `nba_scoreboard.live_update_interval` (default: 60 seconds)
-  - MLB live data: Uses `mlb.live_update_interval` (default: 60 seconds)
-  - NCAA sports: Use respective `live_update_interval` configurations (default: 60 seconds)
-- **Current Weather**: 5 minutes (300 seconds)
-
-#### 2. **Market Data (5-10 minutes)**
-- **Stocks**: 10 minutes (600 seconds) - market hours aware
-- **Crypto**: 5 minutes (300 seconds) - 24/7 trading
-- **Stock News**: 1 hour (3600 seconds)
-
-#### 3. **Sports Data (5 minutes to 24 hours)**
-- **Recent Games**: 5 minutes (300 seconds)
-- **Upcoming Games**: 1 hour (3600 seconds)
-- **Season Schedules**: 24 hours (86400 seconds)
-- **Team Information**: 1 week (604800 seconds)
-
-#### 4. **Static Data (1 week to 30 days)**
-- **Team Logos**: 30 days (2592000 seconds)
-- **Configuration Data**: 1 week (604800 seconds)
-
-### Smart Cache Invalidation
-
-Beyond time limits, the system uses content-based invalidation:
-
-```python
-def has_data_changed(self, data_type: str, new_data: Dict[str, Any]) -> bool:
-    """Check if data has changed from cached version."""
-```
-
-- **Weather**: Compares temperature and conditions
-- **Stocks**: Compares prices (only during market hours)
-- **Sports**: Compares scores, game status, inning details
-- **News**: Compares headlines and article IDs
-
-### Market-Aware Caching
-
-For stocks, the system extends cache duration during off-hours:
-
-```python
-def _is_market_open(self) -> bool:
-    """Check if the US stock market is currently open."""
-    # Only invalidates cache during market hours
-```
-
-## Enhanced Cache Strategy
-
-### Sport-Specific Live Update Intervals
-
-The cache manager now automatically respects the `live_update_interval` configuration for each sport:
-
-```python
-def get_sport_live_interval(self, sport_key: str) -> int:
-    """Get the live_update_interval for a specific sport from config."""
-    config = self.config_manager.get_config()
-    sport_config = config.get(f"{sport_key}_scoreboard", {})
-    return sport_config.get("live_update_interval", 30)
-```
-
-### Automatic Sport Detection
-
-The cache manager automatically detects the sport from cache keys:
-
-```python
-def get_sport_key_from_cache_key(self, key: str) -> Optional[str]:
-    """Extract sport key from cache key to determine appropriate live_update_interval."""
-    # Maps cache key patterns to sport keys
-    sport_patterns = {
-        'nfl': ['nfl', 'football'],
-        'nba': ['nba', 'basketball'],
-        'mlb': ['mlb', 'baseball'],
-        'nhl': ['nhl', 'hockey'],
-        'soccer': ['soccer', 'football'],
-        # ... etc
-    }
-```
-
-### Configuration Examples
-
-**Current Configuration (config/config.json):**
-```json
-{
-    "nfl_scoreboard": {
-        "live_update_interval": 30,
-        "enabled": true
-    },
-    "soccer_scoreboard": {
-        "live_update_interval": 30,
-        "enabled": false
-    },
-    "mlb": {
-        "live_update_interval": 30,
-        "enabled": true
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Cache Behavior:**
-- NFL live data: 30-second cache (from config)
-- Soccer live data: 30-second cache (from config)
-- MLB live data: 30-second cache (from config)
-
-### Fallback Strategy
-
-If configuration is unavailable, the system uses sport-specific defaults:
-
-```python
-default_intervals = {
-    'soccer': 60,      # Soccer default
-    'nfl': 60,         # NFL default
-    'nhl': 60,         # NHL default
-    'nba': 60,         # NBA default
-    'mlb': 60,         # MLB default
-    'milb': 60,        # Minor league default
-    'ncaa_fb': 60,    # College football default
-    'ncaa_baseball': 60,  # College baseball default
-    'ncaam_basketball': 60,  # College basketball default
-}
-```
-
-## Usage Examples
-
-### Automatic Sport Detection
-```python
-# Cache manager automatically detects NFL and uses nfl_scoreboard.live_update_interval
-cached_data = cache_manager.get_with_auto_strategy("nfl_live_20241201")
-
-# Cache manager automatically detects soccer and uses soccer_scoreboard.live_update_interval
-cached_data = cache_manager.get_with_auto_strategy("soccer_live_20241201")
-```
-
-### Manual Sport Specification
-```python
-# Explicitly specify sport for custom cache keys
-cached_data = cache_manager.get_cached_data_with_strategy("custom_live_key", "sports_live")
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **Configuration-Driven**: Cache respects your sport-specific settings
-2. **Automatic Detection**: No manual cache duration management needed
-3. **Sport-Optimized**: Each sport uses its appropriate update interval
-4. **Backward Compatible**: Existing code continues to work
-5. **Flexible**: Easy to adjust intervals per sport in config
-
-## Migration
-
-The enhanced cache manager is backward compatible. Existing code will automatically benefit from sport-specific intervals without any changes needed.
-
-To customize intervals for specific sports, simply update the `live_update_interval` in your `config/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-    "nfl_scoreboard": {
-        "live_update_interval": 15  // More aggressive for NFL
-    },
-    "mlb": {
-        "live_update_interval": 45  // Slower pace for MLB
-    }
-}
-```

+# LEDMatrix
+
+## Project Structure
+- `src/plugin_system/` — Plugin loader, manager, store manager, base plugin class
+- `web_interface/` — Flask web UI (blueprints, templates, static JS)
+- `config/config.json` — User plugin configuration (persists across plugin reinstalls)
+- `plugin-repos/` — **Default** plugin install directory used by the
+  Plugin Store, set by `plugin_system.plugins_directory` in
+  `config.json` (default per `config/config.template.json:130`).
+  Not gitignored.
+- `plugins/` — Legacy/dev plugin location. Gitignored (`plugins/*`).
+  Used by `scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh` for symlinks. The plugin
+  loader falls back to it when something isn't found in `plugin-repos/`
+  (`src/plugin_system/schema_manager.py:77`).
+
+## Plugin System
+- Plugins inherit from `BasePlugin` in `src/plugin_system/base_plugin.py`
+- Required abstract methods: `update()`, `display(force_clear=False)`
+- Each plugin needs: `manifest.json`, `config_schema.json`, `manager.py`, `requirements.txt`
+- Plugin instantiation args: `plugin_id, config, display_manager, cache_manager, plugin_manager`
+- Config schemas use JSON Schema Draft-7
+- Display dimensions: always read dynamically from `self.display_manager.matrix.width/height`
+
+## Plugin Store Architecture
+- Official plugins live in the `ledmatrix-plugins` monorepo (not individual repos)
+- Plugin repo naming convention: `ledmatrix-<plugin-id>` (e.g., `ledmatrix-football-scoreboard`)
+- `plugins.json` registry at `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins/main/plugins.json`
+- Store manager (`src/plugin_system/store_manager.py`) handles install/update/uninstall
+- Monorepo plugins are installed via ZIP extraction (no `.git` directory)
+- Update detection for monorepo plugins uses version comparison (manifest version vs registry latest_version)
+- Plugin configs stored in `config/config.json`, NOT in plugin directories — safe across reinstalls
+- Third-party plugins can use their own repo URL with empty `plugin_path`
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+- paho-mqtt 2.x needs `callback_api_version=mqtt.CallbackAPIVersion.VERSION1` for v1 compat
+- BasePlugin uses `get_logger()` from `src.logging_config`, not standard `logging.getLogger()`
+- When modifying a plugin in the monorepo, you MUST bump `version` in its `manifest.json` and run `python update_registry.py` — otherwise users won't receive the update

+[LEDMatrix Discord](https://discord.gg/uW36dVAtcT) (DM a moderator or
+ChuckBuilds directly) or by opening a private GitHub Security Advisory if
+the issue involves account safety. All complaints will be reviewed and
+investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+# Contributing to LEDMatrix
+
+Thanks for considering a contribution! LEDMatrix is built with help from
+the community and we welcome bug reports, plugins, documentation
+improvements, and code changes.
+
+## Quick links
+
+- **Bugs / feature requests**: open an issue using one of the templates
+  in [`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/).
+- **Real-time discussion**: the
+  [LEDMatrix Discord](https://discord.gg/uW36dVAtcT).
+- **Plugin development**:
+  [`docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md`](docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md)
+  and the [`ledmatrix-plugins`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins)
+  repository.
+- **Security issues**: see [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md). Please don't
+  open public issues for vulnerabilities.
+
+## Setting up a development environment
+
+1. Clone with submodules:
+   ```bash
+   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/LEDMatrix.git
+   cd LEDMatrix
+   ```
+2. For development without hardware, run the dev preview server:
+   ```bash
+   python3 scripts/dev_server.py
+   # then open http://localhost:5001
+   ```
+   See [`docs/DEV_PREVIEW.md`](docs/DEV_PREVIEW.md) for details.
+3. To run the full display in emulator mode:
+   ```bash
+   EMULATOR=true python3 run.py
+   ```
+4. To target real hardware on a Raspberry Pi, follow the install
+   instructions in the root [`README.md`](README.md).
+
+## Running the tests
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pytest
+```
+
+See [`docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md`](docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md) for details
+on test markers, the per-plugin tests, and the web-interface
+integration tests.
+
+## Submitting changes
+
+1. **Open an issue first** for non-trivial changes. This avoids
+   wasted work on PRs that don't fit the project direction.
+2. **Create a topic branch** off `main`:
+   `feat/<short-description>`, `fix/<short-description>`,
+   `docs/<short-description>`.
+3. **Keep PRs focused.** One conceptual change per PR. If you find
+   adjacent bugs while working, fix them in a separate PR.
+4. **Follow the existing code style.** Python code uses standard
+   `black`/`ruff` conventions; HTML/JS in `web_interface/` follows the
+   patterns already in `templates/v3/` and `static/v3/`.
+5. **Update documentation** alongside code changes. If you add a
+   config key, document it in the relevant `*.md` file (or, for
+   plugins, in `config_schema.json` so the form is auto-generated).
+6. **Run the tests** locally before opening the PR.
+7. **Use the PR template** — `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` will
+   prompt you for what we need.
+
+## Commit message convention
+
+Conventional Commits is encouraged but not strictly enforced:
+
+- `feat: add NHL playoff bracket display`
+- `fix(plugin-loader): handle missing class_name in manifest`
+- `docs: correct web UI port in TROUBLESHOOTING.md`
+- `refactor(cache): consolidate strategy lookup`
+
+Keep the subject under 72 characters; put the why in the body.
+
+## Contributing a plugin
+
+LEDMatrix plugins live in their own repository:
+[`ledmatrix-plugins`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins).
+Plugin contributions go through that repo's
+[`SUBMISSION.md`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins/blob/main/SUBMISSION.md)
+process. The
+[`hello-world` plugin](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins/tree/main/plugins/hello-world)
+is the canonical starter template.
+
+## Reviewing pull requests
+
+Maintainer review is by [@ChuckBuilds](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds).
+Community review is welcome on any open PR — leave constructive
+comments, test on your hardware if applicable, and call out anything
+unclear.

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+If you've found a security issue in LEDMatrix, **please don't open a
+public GitHub issue**. Disclose it privately so we can fix it before it's
+exploited.
+
+### How to report
+
+Use one of these channels, in order of preference:
+
+1. **GitHub Security Advisories** (preferred). On the LEDMatrix repo,
+   go to **Security → Advisories → Report a vulnerability**. This
+   creates a private discussion thread visible only to you and the
+   maintainer.
+   - Direct link: <https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/LEDMatrix/security/advisories/new>
+2. **Discord DM**. Send a direct message to a moderator on the
+   [LEDMatrix Discord](https://discord.gg/uW36dVAtcT). Don't post in
+   public channels.
+
+Please include:
+
+- A description of the issue
+- The version / commit hash you're testing against
+- Steps to reproduce, ideally a minimal proof of concept
+- The impact you can demonstrate
+- Any suggested mitigation
+
+### What to expect
+
+- An acknowledgement within a few days (this is a hobby project, not
+  a 24/7 ops team).
+- A discussion of the issue's severity and a plan for the fix.
+- Credit in the release notes when the fix ships, unless you'd
+  prefer to remain anonymous.
+- For high-severity issues affecting active deployments, we'll
+  coordinate disclosure timing with you.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope for this policy:
+
+- The LEDMatrix display controller, web interface, and plugin loader
+  in this repository
+- The official plugins in
+  [`ledmatrix-plugins`](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins)
+- Installation scripts and systemd unit files
+
+Out of scope (please report upstream):
+
+- Vulnerabilities in `rpi-rgb-led-matrix` itself —
+  report to <https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix>
+- Vulnerabilities in Python packages we depend on — report to the
+  upstream package maintainer
+- Issues in third-party plugins not in `ledmatrix-plugins` — report
+  to that plugin's repository
+
+## Known security model
+
+LEDMatrix is designed for trusted local networks. Several limitations
+are intentional rather than vulnerabilities:
+
+- **No web UI authentication.** The web interface assumes the network
+  it's running on is trusted. Don't expose port 5000 to the internet.
+- **Plugins run unsandboxed.** Installed plugins execute in the same
+  Python process as the display loop with full file-system and
+  network access. Review plugin code (especially third-party plugins
+  from arbitrary GitHub URLs) before installing. The Plugin Store
+  marks community plugins as **Custom** to highlight this.
+- **The display service runs as root** for hardware GPIO access. This
+  is required by `rpi-rgb-led-matrix`.
+- **`config_secrets.json` is plaintext.** API keys and tokens are
+  stored unencrypted on the Pi. Lock down filesystem permissions on
+  the config directory if this matters for your deployment.
+
+These are documented as known limitations rather than bugs. If you
+have ideas for improving them while keeping the project usable on a
+Pi, open a discussion — we're interested.
+
+## Supported versions
+
+LEDMatrix is rolling-release on `main`. Security fixes land on `main`
+and become available the next time users run **Update Code** from the
+web UI's Overview tab (which does a `git pull`). There are no LTS
+branches.
