941291561a fix(web): expose GitHub install handlers, simplify Alpine loader, explicit Flask threading (#305)
A user reported that buttons in the v3 web UI were unresponsive in Safari
after a fresh install. The screenshots showed Alpine.js actually running
fine end-to-end — the real issues are a narrow handler-exposure bug and
some latent brittleness worth cleaning up at the same time.

plugins_manager.js: attachInstallButtonHandler and setupGitHubInstallHandlers
were declared inside the main IIFE, but the typeof guards that tried to
expose them on window ran *outside* the IIFE, so typeof always evaluated
to 'undefined' and the assignments were silently skipped. The GitHub
"Install from URL" button therefore had no click handler and the console
printed [FALLBACK] attachInstallButtonHandler not available on window on
every load. Fixed by assigning window.attachInstallButtonHandler and
window.setupGitHubInstallHandlers *inside* the IIFE just before it closes,
and removing the dead outside-the-IIFE guards.

base.html: the Alpine.js loader was a 50-line dynamic-script + deferLoadingAlpine
+ isAPMode branching block. script.defer = true on a dynamically-inserted
<script> is a no-op (dynamic scripts are always async), the
deferLoadingAlpine wrapper was cargo-culted, and the AP-mode branching
reached out to unpkg unnecessarily on LAN installs even though
alpinejs.min.js already ships in web_interface/static/v3/js/. Replaced
with a single <script defer src="..."> tag pointing at the local file plus
a small window-load rescue that only pulls the CDN copy if window.Alpine
is still undefined.

start.py / app.py: app.run() has defaulted to threaded=True since Flask
1.0 so this is not a behavior change, but the two long-lived
/api/v3/stream/* SSE endpoints would starve every other request under a
single-threaded server. Setting threaded=True explicitly makes the
intent self-documenting and guards against future regressions.

39ccdcf00d fix(plugins): stop reconciliation install loop, slow plugin list, uninstall resurrection (#309)
* fix(plugins): stop reconciliation install loop, slow plugin list, and uninstall resurrection

Three interacting bugs reported by a user (Discord/ericepe) on a fresh install:

1. The state reconciler retried failed auto-repairs on every HTTP request,
   pegging CPU and flooding logs with "Plugin not found in registry: github
   / youtube". Root cause: ``_run_startup_reconciliation`` reset
   ``_reconciliation_started`` to False on any unresolved inconsistency, so
   ``@app.before_request`` re-fired the entire pass on the next request.
   Fix: run reconciliation exactly once per process; cache per-plugin
   unrecoverable failures inside the reconciler so even an explicit
   re-trigger stays cheap; add a registry pre-check to skip the expensive
   GitHub fetch when we already know the plugin is missing; expose
   ``force=True`` on ``/plugins/state/reconcile`` so users can retry after
   fixing the underlying issue.

2. Uninstalling a plugin via the UI succeeded but the plugin reappeared.
   Root cause: a race between ``store_manager.uninstall_plugin`` (removes
   files) and ``cleanup_plugin_config`` (removes config entry) — if
   reconciliation fired in the gap it saw "config entry with no files" and
   reinstalled. Fix: reorder uninstall to clean config FIRST, drop a
   short-lived "recently uninstalled" tombstone on the store manager that
   the reconciler honors, and pass ``store_manager`` to the manual
   ``/plugins/state/reconcile`` endpoint (it was previously omitted, which
   silently disabled auto-repair entirely).

3. ``GET /plugins/installed`` was very slow on a Pi4 (UI hung on
   "connecting to display" for minutes, ~98% CPU). Root causes: per-request
   ``discover_plugins()`` + manifest re-read + four ``git`` subprocesses per
   plugin (``rev-parse``, ``--abbrev-ref``, ``config``, ``log``). Fix:
   mtime-gate ``discover_plugins()`` and drop the per-plugin manifest
   re-read in the endpoint; cache ``_get_local_git_info`` keyed on
   ``.git/HEAD`` mtime so subprocesses only run when the working copy
   actually moved; bump registry cache TTL from 5 to 15 minutes and fall
   back to stale cache on transient network failure.

Tests: 16 reconciliation cases (including 5 new ones covering the
unrecoverable cache, force-reconcile path, transient-failure handling, and
recently-uninstalled tombstone) and 8 new store_manager cache tests
covering tombstone TTL, git-info mtime cache hit/miss, and the registry
stale-cache fallback. All 24 pass; the broader 288-test suite continues to
pass with no new failures.

* perf(plugins): parallelize Plugin Store browse and extend metadata cache TTLs

Follow-up to the previous commit addressing the Plugin Store browse path
specifically. Most users install plugins via the store (ZIP extraction,
no .git directory) so the git-info mtime cache from the previous commit
was a no-op for them; their pain was coming from /plugins/store/list.

Root cause. search_plugins() enriched each returned plugin with three
serial GitHub fetches: _get_github_repo_info (repo API), _get_latest_commit_info
(commits API), _fetch_manifest_from_github (raw.githubusercontent.com).
Fifteen plugins × three requests × serial HTTP = 30–45 sequential round
trips on every cold browse. On a Pi4 over WiFi that translated directly
into the "connecting to display" hang users reported. The commit and
manifest caches had a 5-minute TTL, so even a brief absence re-paid the
full cost.

Changes.

- ``search_plugins``: fan out per-plugin enrichment through a
  ``ThreadPoolExecutor`` (max 10 workers, stays well under unauthenticated
  GitHub rate limits). Apply category/tag/query filters before enrichment
  so we never waste requests on plugins that will be filtered out.
  ``executor.map`` preserves input order, which the UI depends on.
- ``commit_cache_timeout`` and ``manifest_cache_timeout``: 5 min → 30 min.
  Keeps the cache warm across a realistic session while still picking up
  upstream updates in a reasonable window.
- ``_get_github_repo_info`` and ``_get_latest_commit_info``: stale-on-error
  fallback. On a network failure or a 403 we now prefer a previously-
  cached value over the zero-default, matching the pattern already in
  ``fetch_registry``. Flaky Pi WiFi no longer causes star counts to flip
  to 0 and commit info to disappear.

Tests (5 new in test_store_manager_caches.py).

- ``test_results_preserve_registry_order`` — the parallel map must still
  return plugins in input order.
- ``test_filters_applied_before_enrichment`` — category/tag/query filters
  run first so we don't waste HTTP calls.
- ``test_enrichment_runs_concurrently`` — peak-concurrency check plus a
  wall-time bound that would fail if the code regressed to serial.
- ``test_repo_info_stale_on_network_error`` — repo info falls back to
  stale cache on RequestException.
- ``test_commit_info_stale_on_network_error`` — commit info falls back to
  stale cache on RequestException.

All 29 tests (16 reconciliation, 13 store_manager caches) pass.

* perf(plugins): drop redundant per-plugin manifest.json fetch in search_plugins

Benchmarking the previous parallelization commit on a real Pi4 revealed
that the 10x speedup I expected was only ~1.1x. Profiling showed two
plugins (football-scoreboard, ledmatrix-flights) each spent 5 seconds
inside _fetch_manifest_from_github — not on the initial HTTP call, but
on the three retries in _http_get_with_retries with exponential backoff
after transient DNS failures. Even with the thread pool, those 5-second
tail latencies stayed in the wave and dominated wall time.

The per-plugin manifest fetch in search_plugins is redundant anyway.
The registry's plugins.json already carries ``description`` (it is
generated from each plugin's manifest by update_registry.py at release
time), and ``last_updated`` is filled in from the commit info that we
already fetch in the same loop. Dropping the manifest fetch eliminates
one of the three per-plugin HTTPS round trips entirely, which also
eliminates the DNS-retry tail.

The _fetch_manifest_from_github helper itself is preserved — it is
still used by the install path.

Tests unchanged (the search_plugins tests mock all three helpers and
still pass); this drop only affects the hot-path call sequence.

* test: lock down install/update/uninstall invariants

Regression guard for the caching and tombstone changes in this PR:

- ``install_plugin`` must not be gated by the uninstall tombstone. The
  tombstone only exists to keep the state reconciler from resurrecting a
  freshly-uninstalled plugin; explicit user-initiated installs via the
  store UI go straight to ``install_plugin()`` and must never be blocked.
  Test: mark a plugin recently uninstalled, stub out the download, call
  ``install_plugin``, and assert the download step was reached.

- ``get_plugin_info(force_refresh=True)`` must forward force_refresh
  through to both ``_get_latest_commit_info`` and ``_fetch_manifest_from_github``,
  so that install_plugin and update_plugin (both of which call
  get_plugin_info with force_refresh=True) continue to bypass the 30-min
  cache TTLs introduced in c03eb8db. Without this, bumping the commit
  cache TTL could cause users to install or update to a commit older than
  what GitHub actually has.

* fix(plugins): address review findings — transactional uninstall, registry error propagation, payload hardening

Three real bugs surfaced by review, plus one nitpick. Each was verified
against the current code before fixing.

1. fetch_registry silently swallowed network errors, breaking the
   reconciler (CONFIRMED BUG).

   The stale-cache fallback I added in c03eb8db made fetch_registry
   return {"plugins": []} on network failure when no cache existed —
   which is exactly the state on a fresh boot with flaky WiFi. The
   reconciler's _auto_repair_missing_plugin code assumed an exception
   meant "transient, don't mark unrecoverable" and expected to never
   see a silent empty-dict result. With the silent fallback in place
   on a fresh boot, it would see "no candidates in registry" and
   mark every config-referenced plugin permanently unrecoverable.

   Fix: add ``raise_on_failure: bool = False`` to fetch_registry. UI
   callers keep the stale-cache-fallback default. The reconciler's
   _auto_repair_missing_plugin now calls it with raise_on_failure=True
   so it can distinguish a genuine registry miss from a network error.

2. Uninstall was not transactional (CONFIRMED BUG).

   Two distinct failure modes silently left the system in an
   inconsistent state:

   (a) If ``cleanup_plugin_config`` raised, the code logged a warning
       and proceeded to delete files anyway, leaving an orphan install
       with no config entry.
   (b) If ``uninstall_plugin`` returned False or raised AFTER cleanup
       had already succeeded, the config was gone but the files were
       still on disk — another orphan state.

   Fix: introduce ``_do_transactional_uninstall`` shared by both the
   queue and direct paths. Flow:
     - snapshot plugin's entries in main config + secrets
     - cleanup_plugin_config; on failure, ABORT before touching files
     - uninstall_plugin; on failure, RESTORE the snapshot, then raise
   Both queue and direct endpoints now delegate to this helper and
   surface clean errors to the user instead of proceeding past failure.

3. /plugins/state/reconcile crashed on non-object JSON bodies
   (CONFIRMED BUG).

   The previous code did ``payload.get('force', False)`` after
   ``request.get_json(silent=True) or {}``. If a client sent a bare
   string or array as the JSON body, payload would be that string or
   list and .get() would raise AttributeError. Separately,
   ``bool("false")`` is True, so string-encoded booleans were
   mis-handled.

   Fix: guard ``isinstance(payload, dict)`` and route the value
   through the existing ``_coerce_to_bool`` helper.

4. Nitpick: use ``assert_called_once_with`` in
   test_force_reconcile_clears_unrecoverable_cache. The existing test
   worked in practice (we call reset_mock right before) but the stricter
   assertion catches any future regression where force=True might
   double-fire the install.

Tests added (19 new, 48 total passing):

- TestFetchRegistryRaiseOnFailure (4): flag propagates both
  RequestException and JSONDecodeError, wins over stale cache, and
  the default behavior is unchanged for existing callers.
- test_real_store_manager_empty_registry_on_network_failure (1): the
  key regression test — uses the REAL PluginStoreManager (not a Mock)
  with ConnectionError at the HTTP helper layer, and verifies the
  reconciler does NOT poison _unrecoverable_missing_on_disk.
- TestTransactionalUninstall (4): cleanup failure aborts before file
  removal; file removal failure (both False return and raise) restores
  the config snapshot; happy path still succeeds.
- TestReconcileEndpointPayload (8): bare string / array / null JSON
  bodies, missing force key, boolean true/false, and string-encoded
  "true"/"false" all handled correctly.

All 342 tests in the broader sweep still pass (2 pre-existing
TestDottedKeyNormalization failures reproduce on main and are unrelated).

* style: address review nitpicks in store_manager + test

Four small cleanups, each verified against current code:

1. ``_git_info_cache`` type annotation was ``Dict[str, tuple]`` — too
   loose. Tightened to ``Dict[str, Tuple[float, Dict[str, str]]]`` to
   match what ``_get_local_git_info`` actually stores (mtime + the
   sha/short_sha/branch/... dict it returns). Added ``Tuple`` to the
   typing imports.

2. The ``search_plugins`` early-return condition
   ``if len(filtered) == 1 or not fetch_commit_info and len(filtered) < 4``
   parses correctly under Python's precedence (``and`` > ``or``) but is
   visually ambiguous. Added explicit parentheses to make the intent —
   "single plugin, OR small batch that doesn't need commit info" —
   obvious at a glance. Semantics unchanged.

3. Replaced a Unicode multiplication sign (×) with ASCII 'x' in the
   commit_cache_timeout comment.

4. Removed a dead ``concurrent_workers = []`` declaration from
   ``test_enrichment_runs_concurrently``. It was left over from an
   earlier sketch of the concurrency check — the final test uses only
   ``peak_lock`` and ``peak``.

All 48 tests still pass.

* fix(plugins): address second review pass — cache correctness and rollback

Verified each finding against the current code. All four inline issues
were real bugs; nitpicks 5-7 were valid improvements.

1. _get_latest_commit_info overwrote a good cached value with None on
   all-branches-404 (CONFIRMED BUG).

   The final line of the branch loop unconditionally wrote
   ``self.commit_info_cache[cache_key] = (time.time(), None)``, which
   clobbered any previously-good entry on a single transient failure
   (e.g. an odd 5xx, a temporary DNS hiccup during the branches_to_try
   loop). Fix: if there's already a good prior value, bump its
   timestamp into the backoff window and return it instead. Only
   cache None when we never had a good value.

2. _get_local_git_info cache did not invalidate on fast-forward
   (CONFIRMED BUG).

   Caching on ``.git/HEAD`` mtime alone is wrong: a ``git pull`` that
   fast-forwards the current branch updates ``.git/refs/heads/<branch>``
   (or packed-refs) but leaves HEAD's contents and mtime untouched.
   The cache would then serve a stale SHA indefinitely.

   Fix: introduce ``_git_cache_signature`` which reads HEAD contents,
   resolves ``ref: refs/heads/<name>`` to the corresponding loose ref
   file, and builds a signature tuple of (head_contents, head_mtime,
   resolved_ref_mtime, packed_refs_mtime). A fast-forward bumps the
   ref file's mtime, which invalidates the signature and re-runs git.

3. test_install_plugin_is_not_blocked_by_tombstone swallowed all
   exceptions (CONFIRMED BUG in test).

   ``try: self.sm.install_plugin("bar") except Exception: pass`` could
   hide a real regression in install_plugin that happens to raise.
   Fix: the test now writes a COMPLETE valid manifest stub (id, name,
   class_name, display_modes, entry_point) and stubs _install_dependencies,
   so install_plugin runs all the way through and returns True. The
   assertion is now ``assertTrue(result)`` with no exception handling.

4. Uninstall rollback missed unload/reload (CONFIRMED BUG).

   Previous flow: cleanup → unload (outside try/except) → uninstall →
   rollback config on failure. Problem: if ``unload_plugin`` raised,
   the exception propagated without restoring config. And if
   ``uninstall_plugin`` failed after a successful unload, the rollback
   restored config but left the plugin unloaded at runtime —
   inconsistent.

   Fix: record ``was_loaded`` before touching runtime state, wrap
   ``unload_plugin`` in the same try/except that covers
   ``uninstall_plugin``, and on any failure call a ``_rollback`` local
   that (a) restores the config snapshot and (b) calls
   ``load_plugin`` to reload the plugin if it was loaded before we
   touched it.

5. Nitpick: ``_unrecoverable_missing_on_disk: set`` → ``Set[str]``.
   Matches the existing ``Dict``/``List`` style in state_reconciliation.py.

6. Nitpick: stale-cache fallbacks in _get_github_repo_info and
   _get_latest_commit_info now bump the cached entry's timestamp by a
   60s failure backoff. Without this, a cache entry whose TTL just
   expired would cause every subsequent request to re-hit the network
   until it came back, amplifying the failure. Introduced
   ``_record_cache_backoff`` helper and applied it consistently.

7. Nitpick: replaced the flaky wall-time assertion in
   test_enrichment_runs_concurrently with just the deterministic
   ``peak["count"] >= 2`` signal. ``peak["count"]`` can only exceed 1
   if two workers were inside the critical section simultaneously,
   which is definitive proof of parallelism. The wall-time check was
   tight enough (<200ms) to occasionally fail on CI / low-power boxes.

Tests (6 new, 54 total passing):

- test_cache_invalidates_on_fast_forward_of_current_branch: builds a
  loose-ref layout under a temp .git/, verifies a first call populates
  the cache, a second call with unchanged state hits the cache, and a
  simulated fast-forward (overwriting ``.git/refs/heads/main`` with a
  new SHA and mtime) correctly re-runs git.
- test_commit_info_preserves_good_cache_on_all_branches_404: seeds a
  good cached entry, mocks requests.get to always return 404, and
  verifies the cache still contains the good value afterwards.
- test_repo_info_stale_bumps_timestamp_into_backoff: seeds an expired
  cache, triggers a ConnectionError, then verifies a second lookup
  does NOT re-hit the network (proves the timestamp bump happened).
- test_repo_info_stale_on_403_also_backs_off: same for the 403 path.
- test_file_removal_failure_reloads_previously_loaded_plugin:
  plugin starts loaded, uninstall_plugin returns False, asserts
  load_plugin was called during rollback.
- test_unload_failure_restores_config_and_does_not_call_uninstall:
  unload_plugin raises, asserts uninstall_plugin was never called AND
  config was restored AND load_plugin was NOT called (runtime state
  never changed, so no reload needed).

Broader test sweep: 348/348 pass (2 pre-existing
TestDottedKeyNormalization failures reproduce on main, unrelated).

* fix(plugins): address third review pass — cache signatures, backoff, isolation

All four findings verified as real issues against the current code.

1. _git_cache_signature was missing .git/config (CONFIRMED GAP).

   The cached ``result`` dict from _get_local_git_info includes
   ``remote_url``, which is read from ``.git/config``. But the cache
   signature only tracked HEAD + refs — so a config-only change (e.g.
   ``git remote set-url origin https://...``) would leave the stale
   URL cached indefinitely. This matters for the monorepo-migration
   detection in update_plugin.

   Fix: add ``config_contents`` and ``config_mtime`` to the signature
   tuple. Config reads use the same OSError-guarded pattern as the
   HEAD read.

2. fetch_registry stale fallback didn't bump registry_cache_time
   (CONFIRMED BUG).

   The other caches already had the failure-backoff pattern added in
   the previous review pass (via ``_record_cache_backoff``), but the
   registry cache's stale-fallback branches silently returned the
   cached payload without updating ``registry_cache_time``. Next
   request saw the same expired TTL, re-hit the network, failed
   again — amplifying the original transient failure.

   Fix: bump ``self.registry_cache_time`` forward by the existing
   ``self._failure_backoff_seconds`` (reused — no new constant
   needed) in both the RequestException and JSONDecodeError stale
   branches. Kept the ``raise_on_failure=True`` path untouched so the
   reconciler still gets the exception.

3. _make_client() in the uninstall/reconcile test helper leaked
   MagicMocks into the api_v3 singleton (CONFIRMED RISK).

   Every test call replaced api_v3.config_manager, .plugin_manager,
   .plugin_store_manager, etc. with MagicMocks and never restored them.
   If any later test in the same pytest run imported api_v3 expecting
   original state (or None), it would see the leftover mocks.

   Fix: _make_client now snapshots the original attributes (with a
   sentinel to distinguish "didn't exist" from "was None") and returns
   a cleanup callable. Both setUp methods call self.addCleanup(cleanup)
   so state is restored even if the test raises. On cleanup, sentinel
   entries trigger delattr rather than setattr to preserve the
   "attribute was never set" case.

4. Snapshot helpers used broad ``except Exception`` (CONFIRMED).

   _snapshot_plugin_config caught any exception from
   get_raw_file_content, which could hide programmer errors (TypeError,
   AttributeError) behind the "best-effort snapshot" fallback. The
   legitimate failure modes are filesystem errors (covered by OSError;
   FileNotFoundError is a subclass, IOError is an alias in Python 3)
   and ConfigError (what config_manager wraps all load failures in).

   Fix: narrow to ``(OSError, ConfigError)`` in both snapshot blocks.
   ConfigError was already imported at line 20 of api_v3.py.

Tests added (4 new, 58 total passing):

- test_cache_invalidates_on_git_config_change: builds a realistic
  loose-ref layout, writes .git/config with an "old" remote URL,
  exercises _get_local_git_info, then rewrites .git/config with a
  "new" remote URL + new mtime, calls again, and asserts the cache
  invalidated and returned the new URL.
- test_stale_fallback_bumps_timestamp_into_backoff: seeds an expired
  registry cache, triggers ConnectionError, verifies first call
  serves stale, then asserts a second call makes ZERO new HTTP
  requests (proves registry_cache_time was bumped forward).
- test_snapshot_survives_config_read_error: raises ConfigError from
  get_raw_file_content and asserts the uninstall still completes
  successfully — the narrow exception list still catches this case.
- test_snapshot_does_not_swallow_programmer_errors: raises a
  TypeError from get_raw_file_content (not in the narrow list) and
  asserts it propagates up to a 500, AND that uninstall_plugin was
  never called (proves the exception was caught at the right level).

Broader test sweep: 352/352 pass (2 pre-existing
TestDottedKeyNormalization failures reproduce on main, unrelated).

781224591f fix: post-audit follow-up code fixes (cache, fonts, icons, dev script) (#307)
* fix: post-audit follow-up code fixes (cache, fonts, icons, dev script, CI)

The docs refresh effort (#306, ledmatrix-plugins#92) surfaced seven
code bugs that were intentionally left out of the docs PRs because
they required code changes rather than doc fixes. This PR addresses
the six that belong in LEDMatrix (the seventh — a lacrosse-scoreboard
mode rename — lives in the plugins repo).

Bug 1: cache_manager.delete() AttributeError
  src/common/api_helper.py:287 and
  src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:343 both call
  cache_manager.delete(key), which doesn't exist — only
  clear_cache(key=None). Added a delete() alias method on
  CacheManager that forwards to clear_cache(key). Reverts the
  "There is no delete() method" wording in DEVELOPER_QUICK_REFERENCE,
  .cursorrules so the docs match the new shim.

Bug 2: dev_plugin_setup.sh PROJECT_ROOT resolution
  scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh:9 set PROJECT_ROOT to SCRIPT_DIR
  instead of walking up two levels to the repo root, so PLUGINS_DIR
  resolved to scripts/dev/plugins/ and created symlinks under the
  script's own directory. Fixed the path and removed the stray
  scripts/dev/plugins/of-the-day symlink left by earlier runs.

Bug 3: plugin custom icons regressed from v2 to v3
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py built the /plugins/installed
  response without including the manifest's "icon" field, and
  web_interface/templates/v3/base.html hardcoded
  fas fa-puzzle-piece in all three plugin-tab render sites. Pass
  the icon through the API and read it from the templates with a
  puzzle-piece fallback. Reverts the "currently broken" banners in
  docs/PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS.md and docs/PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md.

Bug 4: register_plugin_fonts was never wired up
  src/font_manager.py:150 defines register_plugin_fonts(plugin_id,
  font_manifest) but nothing called it, so plugin manifests with a
  "fonts" block were silently no-ops. Wired the call into
  PluginManager.load_plugin() right after plugin_loader.load_plugin
  returns. Reverts the "not currently wired" warning in
  docs/FONT_MANAGER.md's "For Plugin Developers" section.

Bug 5: dead web_interface_v2 import pattern (LEDMatrix half)
  src/base_odds_manager.py had a try/except importing
  web_interface_v2.increment_api_counter, falling back to a no-op
  stub. The module doesn't exist anywhere in the v3 codebase and
  no API metrics dashboard reads it. Deleted the import block and
  the single call site; the plugins-repo half of this cleanup lands
  in ledmatrix-plugins#<next>.

Bug 7: no CI test workflow
  .github/workflows/ only contained security-audit.yml; pytest ran
  locally but was not gated on PRs. Added
  .github/workflows/tests.yml running pytest against Python 3.10,
  3.11, 3.12 in EMULATOR=true mode, skipping tests marked hardware
  or slow. Updated docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md to reflect that the
  workflow now exists.

Verification done locally:
  - CacheManager.delete(key) round-trips with set/get
  - base_odds_manager imports without the v2 module present
  - dev_plugin_setup.sh PROJECT_ROOT resolves to repo root
  - api_v3 and plugin_manager compile clean
  - tests.yml YAML parses
  - Script syntax check on dev_plugin_setup.sh

* fix: address CodeRabbit review comments on #307

- src/cache_manager.py: clear_cache(key) treated empty string as
  "wipe all" because of `if key:`. Switched to `key is None`
  branching, made delete(key) and clear_cache(key) reject empty
  strings and None outright with ValueError, and updated both
  docstrings to make the contract explicit. Verified locally
  with a round-trip test that clear_cache() (no arg) still
  wipes everything but clear_cache("") and delete("") raise.

- src/plugin_system/plugin_manager.py: was reaching for the
  font manager via getattr(self.display_manager, 'font_manager',
  None). PluginManager already takes a dedicated font_manager
  parameter (line 54) and stores it as self.font_manager
  (line 69), so the old path was both wrong and could miss the
  font manager entirely when the host injects them separately.
  Switched to self.font_manager directly with the same try/except
  warning behavior.

- web_interface/templates/v3/base.html: in the full plugin-tab
  renderer, the icon was injected with
  `<i class="${escapeHtml(plugin.icon)}">` — but escapeHtml only
  escapes <, >, and &, not double quotes, so a manifest with a
  quote in its icon string could break out of the class
  attribute. Replaced the innerHTML template with createElement
  for the <i> tag, set className from plugin.icon directly
  (no string interpolation), and used a text node for the
  label. Same fix shape would also harden the two stub-renderer
  sites at line 515 / 774, but those already escape `"` to
  &quot; and CodeRabbit only flagged this site, so leaving them
  for now.

- docs/FONT_MANAGER.md: clarified that the Manual Font Overrides
  *workflow* (set_override / remove_override / font_overrides.json)
  is the supported override path today, and only the Fonts tab
  in the web UI is the placeholder. Previous wording conflated
  the two and made it sound like overrides themselves were
  broken.

- docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md: replaced the vague "see the PR
  adding it" with a concrete link to #307 and a note that the
  workflow file itself is held back pending the workflow scope.

601fedb9b4 fix(logos): register NCAA lacrosse + women's hockey in logo downloader (#308)
The lacrosse-scoreboard plugin renders broken on hardware: school
logos never appear, and SportsRecent/SportsUpcoming
_draw_scorebug_layout() falls into its "Logo Error" fallback
branch instead of drawing the normal logo-centric scorebug.

Root cause: src/logo_downloader.py LOGO_DIRECTORIES and
API_ENDPOINTS were missing entries for ncaam_lacrosse and
ncaaw_lacrosse, even though the plugin's manager files set those
exact sport_key values (ncaam_lacrosse_managers.py:29,
ncaaw_lacrosse_managers.py:29). The plugin's vendored sports.py
asks the main LogoDownloader to resolve sport_key →
on-disk directory the same way every other sports plugin does
(football, basketball, baseball, hockey), and
get_logo_directory() fell through to the safe fallback
f'assets/sports/{league}_logos' = 'assets/sports/ncaam_lacrosse_logos',
a directory that does not exist. Logo loads then failed for
every team and the scorebug layout collapsed to "Logo Error".

Adding the two lacrosse rows (and the missing ncaaw_hockey row
in API_ENDPOINTS, while we're here) makes lacrosse a first-class
peer to the other NCAA sports — same shared assets/sports/ncaa_logos
directory, same canonical ESPN team-list endpoint pattern. No
plugin-side change is needed because the plugin already imports
the main LogoDownloader.

Existing NCAA football/hockey schools that also play lacrosse
(DUKE, UVA, MD, NAVY, ARMY, YALE, SYR, …) get picked up
immediately on first render. Lacrosse-specific schools (JHU,
Loyola, Princeton, Cornell, Stony Brook, …) lazily download
into the shared directory via download_missing_logo() the first
time they appear in a scoreboard payload — verified locally
with both the team_id fallback path (ESPN sports.core.api) and
the direct logo_url path used by the plugin at runtime.

Verification (all from a clean clone):

  python3 -c "
  from src.logo_downloader import LogoDownloader
  d = LogoDownloader()
  for k in ('ncaam_lacrosse','ncaaw_lacrosse','ncaam_hockey','ncaaw_hockey'):
      print(k, '->', d.get_logo_directory(k))
  "
  # All four print .../assets/sports/ncaa_logos

  python3 -c "
  from pathlib import Path
  from src.logo_downloader import download_missing_logo
  ok = download_missing_logo(
      'ncaam_lacrosse', team_id='120', team_abbreviation='JHU',
      logo_path=Path('assets/sports/ncaa_logos/_jhu_test.png'),
      logo_url='https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/ncaa/500/120.png',
  )
  print('downloaded:', ok)  # True, ~40KB PNG
  "

6812dfe7a6 docs: refresh and correct stale documentation across repo (#306)
* docs: refresh and correct stale documentation across repo

Walked the README and docs/ tree against current code and fixed several
real bugs and many stale references. Highlights:

User-facing
- README.md: web interface install instructions referenced
  install_web_service.sh at the repo root, but it actually lives at
  scripts/install/install_web_service.sh.
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: every web UI port reference said 5050, but
  the real server in web_interface/start.py:123 binds 5000. Same bug
  was duplicated in docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md (17 occurrences). Fixed
  both.
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: rewrote tab-by-tab instructions. The doc
  referenced "Plugin Store", "Plugin Management", "Sports Configuration",
  "Durations", and "Font Management" tabs - none of which exist. Real
  tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html) are: Overview,
  General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor, Fonts, Logs, Cache,
  Operation History, Plugin Manager (+ per-plugin tabs).
- docs/GETTING_STARTED.md: removed references to a "Test Display"
  button (doesn't exist) and "Show Now" / "Stop" plugin buttons. Real
  controls are "Run On-Demand" / "Stop On-Demand" inside each plugin's
  tab (partials/plugin_config.html:792).
- docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md: removed dead reference to
  troubleshoot_weather.sh (doesn't exist anywhere in the repo); weather
  is now a plugin in ledmatrix-plugins.

Developer-facing
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: documented draw_image() doesn't exist
  on DisplayManager. Real plugins paste onto display_manager.image
  directly (verified in src/base_classes/{baseball,basketball,football,
  hockey}.py). Replaced with the canonical pattern.
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: documented cache_manager.delete() doesn't
  exist. Real method is clear_cache(key=None). Updated the section.
- docs/PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md: added 10 missing BasePlugin methods that
  the doc never mentioned: dynamic-duration hooks, live-priority hooks,
  and the full Vegas-mode interface.
- docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md: same draw_image fix.
- docs/DEVELOPMENT.md: corrected the "Plugin Submodules" section. Plugins
  are NOT git submodules - .gitmodules only contains
  rpi-rgb-led-matrix-master. Plugins are installed at runtime into the
  plugins directory configured by plugin_system.plugins_directory
  (default plugin-repos/). Both internal links in this doc were also
  broken (missing relative path adjustment).
- docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md: removed pytest-timeout from install line
  (not in requirements.txt) and corrected the test/integration/ path
  (real integration tests are at test/web_interface/integration/).
  Replaced the fictional file structure diagram with the real one.
- docs/EMULATOR_SETUP_GUIDE.md: clone URL was a placeholder; default
  pixel_size was documented as 16 but emulator_config.json ships with 5.

Index
- docs/README.md: rewrote. Old index claimed "16-17 files after
  consolidation" but docs/ actually has 38 .md files. Four were missing
  from the index entirely (CONFIG_DEBUGGING, DEV_PREVIEW,
  PLUGIN_ERROR_HANDLING, STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE). Trimmed the navel-gazing
  consolidation/statistics sections.

Out of scope but worth flagging:
- src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:343 and src/common/api_helper.py:287
  call cache_manager.delete(key) but no such method exists on
  CacheManager. Both call sites would AttributeError at runtime if hit.
  Not fixed in this docs PR - either add a delete() shim or convert
  callers to clear_cache().

* docs: fix WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE and WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP

WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md
- Web UI port: 5050 -> 5000 (4 occurrences)
- Tab list was almost entirely fictional. Documented tabs:
  General Settings, Display Settings, Durations, Sports Configuration,
  Plugin Management, Plugin Store, Font Management. None of these
  exist. Real tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html:
  935-1000): Overview, General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor,
  Fonts, Logs, Cache, Operation History, plus Plugin Manager and
  per-plugin tabs in the second nav row. Rewrote the navigation
  section, the General/Display/Plugin sections, and the Common Tasks
  walkthroughs to match.
- Quick Actions list referenced "Test Display" button (doesn't exist).
  Replaced with the real button list verified in
  partials/overview.html:88-152: Start/Stop Display, Restart Display
  Service, Restart Web Service, Update Code, Reboot, Shutdown.
- API endpoints used /api/* paths. The api_v3 blueprint mounts at
  /api/v3 (web_interface/app.py:144), so the real paths are
  /api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/system/status, etc. Fixed.
- Removed bogus "Sports Configuration tab" walkthrough; sports
  favorites live inside each scoreboard plugin's own tab now.
- Plugin directory listed as /plugins/. Real default is plugin-repos/
  (verified in config/config.template.json:130 and
  display_controller.py:132); plugins/ is a fallback.
- Removed "Swipe navigation between tabs" mobile claim (not implemented).

WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP.md
- 21 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000.
- All /api/wifi/* curl examples used the wrong path. The real wifi
  API routes are at /api/v3/wifi/* (api_v3.py:6367-6609). Fixed.
- ap_password default was documented as "" (empty/open network) but
  config/wifi_config.json ships with "ledmatrix123". Updated the
  Quick Start, Configuration table, AP Mode Settings section, and
  Security Recommendations to match. Also clarified that setting
  ap_password to "" is the way to make it an open network.

* docs: fix ADVANCED_FEATURES and REST_API_REFERENCE

REST_API_REFERENCE.md
- Wrong path: /fonts/delete/<font_family> -> /fonts/<font_family>
  (verified the real DELETE route in
  web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py).
- Diffed the documented routes against the real api_v3 blueprint
  (92 routes vs the 71 documented). Added missing sections:
  - Error tracking (/errors/summary, /errors/plugin/<id>, /errors/clear)
  - Health (/health)
  - Schedule dim/power (/config/dim-schedule GET/POST)
  - Plugin-specific endpoints (calendar/list-calendars,
    of-the-day/json/upload+delete, plugins/<id>/static/<path>)
  - Starlark Apps (12 endpoints: status, install-pixlet, apps CRUD,
    repository browse/install, upload)
  - Font preview (/fonts/preview)
- Updated table of contents with the new sections.
- Added a footer note that the API blueprint mounts at /api/v3
  (app.py:144) and that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on
  the Flask app at app.py:607-615.

ADVANCED_FEATURES.md
- Vegas Scroll Mode section was actually accurate (verified all
  config keys match src/vegas_mode/config.py:15-30).

- On-Demand Display section had multiple bugs:
  - 5 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000
  - All API paths missing /v3 (e.g. /api/display/on-demand/start
    should be /api/v3/display/on-demand/start)
  - "Settings -> Plugin Management -> Show Now Button" UI flow doesn't
    exist. Real flow: open the plugin's tab in the second nav row,
    click Run On-Demand / Stop On-Demand.
  - "Python API Methods" section showed
    controller.show_on_demand() / clear_on_demand() /
    is_on_demand_active() / get_on_demand_info() — none of these
    methods exist on DisplayController. The on-demand machinery is
    all internal (_set_on_demand_*, _activate_on_demand, etc) and
    is driven through the cache_manager. Replaced the section with
    a note pointing to the REST API.
  - All Use Case Examples used the same fictional Python calls.
    Replaced with curl examples against the real API.

- Cache Management section claimed "On-demand display uses Redis cache
  keys". LEDMatrix doesn't use Redis — verified with grep that
  src/cache_manager.py has no redis import. The cache is file-based,
  managed by CacheManager (file at /var/cache/ledmatrix/ or fallback
  paths). Rewrote the manual recovery section:
  - Removed redis-cli commands
  - Replaced cache.delete() Python calls with cache.clear_cache()
    (the real public method per the same bug already flagged in
    PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md)
  - Replaced "Settings -> Cache Management" with the real Cache tab
  - Documented the actual cache directory candidates

- Background Data Service section:
  - Used "nfl_scoreboard" as the plugin id in the example.
    The real plugin is "football-scoreboard" (handles both NFL and
    NCAA). Fixed.
  - "Implementation Status: Phase 1 NFL only / Phase 2 planned"
    section was severely outdated. The background service is now
    used by all sports scoreboards (football, hockey, baseball,
    basketball, soccer, lacrosse, F1, UFC), the odds ticker, and
    the leaderboard plugin. Replaced with a current "Plugins using
    the background service" note.

* docs: fix plugin config + store + dependency docs

PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md
- 19 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000
- All API paths missing /v3 (e.g. /api/plugins/install ->
  /api/v3/plugins/install). Bulk fix.

PLUGIN_REGISTRY_SETUP_GUIDE.md
- Same port + /api/v3 fixes (3 occurrences each)
- "Go to Plugin Store tab" -> "Open the Plugin Manager tab and scroll
  to the Install from GitHub section" (the real flow for registry
  setup is the GitHub install section, not the Plugin Store search)

PLUGIN_CONFIG_QUICK_START.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000 (5001 is the dev_server.py default, not the web UI)
- "Plugin Store tab" install flow -> real Plugin Manager + Plugin Store
  section + per-plugin tab in second nav row
- Removed reference to PLUGIN_CONFIG_TABS_SUMMARY.md (archived doc)

PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS.md
- "Plugin Management vs Configuration" section confusingly described
  a "Plugins Tab" that doesn't exist as a single thing. Rewrote to
  describe the real two-piece structure: Plugin Manager tab (browse,
  install, toggle) vs per-plugin tabs (configure individual plugins).

PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_GUIDE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000

PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- Wrong port (8080) and wrong UI nav ("Plugin Store or Plugin
  Management"). Fixed to the real flow.

PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- "Plugin Location: ./plugins/ directory" -> default is plugin-repos/
  (verified in config/config.template.json:130 and
  display_controller.py:132). plugins/ is a fallback.
- File structure diagram showed plugins/ -> plugin-repos/.
- Web UI install flow: "Plugin Store tab" -> "Plugin Manager tab ->
  Plugin Store section". Also fixed Configure ⚙️ button (doesn't
  exist) and "Drag and drop reorder" (not implemented).
- API examples: replaced ad-hoc Python pseudocode with real curl
  examples against /api/v3/plugins/* endpoints. Pointed at
  REST_API_REFERENCE.md for the full list.
- "Migration Path Phase 1-5" was a roadmap written before the plugin
  system shipped. The plugin system is now stable and live. Removed
  the migration phases as they're history, not a roadmap.
- "Quick Migration" section called scripts/migrate_to_plugins.py
  which doesn't exist anywhere in the repo. Removed.
- "Plugin Registry Structure" referenced
  ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugin-registry which doesn't exist. The
  real registry is ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins. Fixed.
- "Next Steps" / "Questions to Resolve" sections were
  pre-implementation planning notes. Replaced with a "Known
  Limitations" section that documents the actually-real gaps
  (sandboxing, resource limits, ratings, auto-updates).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: fix misc remaining docs (architecture, dev quickref, sub-dir READMEs)

PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md
- Added a banner at the top noting this is a historical design doc
  written before the plugin system shipped. The doc is ~1900 lines
  with 13 stale /api/plugins/* paths (real is /api/v3/plugins/*),
  references to web_interface_v2.py (current is app.py), and a
  Migration Strategy / Implementation Roadmap that's now history.
  Banner points readers at the current docs
  (PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE, PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE,
  REST_API_REFERENCE) without needing to retrofit every section.

PLUGIN_CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE.md
- 10 occurrences of /api/plugins/* missing /v3 prefix. Bulk fixed.

DEVELOPER_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- cache_manager.delete("key") -> cache_manager.clear_cache("key")
  with comment noting delete() doesn't exist. Same bug already
  documented in PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md.

SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL.md
- 4 occurrences of port 5001 -> 5000 in AP-mode and Ethernet/WiFi
  recovery instructions.

PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000.

CONFIG_DEBUGGING.md
- Documented /api/v3/config/plugin/<id> and /api/v3/config/validate
  endpoints don't exist. Replaced with the real endpoints:
  /api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=,
  /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=. Added a note that validation
  runs server-side automatically on POST.

STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE.md
- "Plugins -> Starlark Apps" UI navigation path doesn't exist (5
  occurrences). Replaced with the real path: Plugin Manager tab,
  then the per-plugin Starlark Apps tab in the second nav row.
- "Navigate to Plugins" install step -> Plugin Manager tab.

web_interface/README.md
- Documented several endpoints that don't exist in the api_v3
  blueprint:
  - GET /api/v3/plugins (list) -> /api/v3/plugins/installed
  - GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> -> doesn't exist
  - POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config -> POST /api/v3/plugins/config
  - GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable + /disable -> POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle
  - GET /api/v3/store/plugins -> /api/v3/plugins/store/list
  - POST /api/v3/store/install/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/install
  - POST /api/v3/store/uninstall/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall
  - POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/update
  - POST /api/v3/display/start/stop/restart -> POST /api/v3/system/action
  - GET /api/v3/display/status -> GET /api/v3/system/status
- Also fixed config/secrets.json -> config/config_secrets.json
- Replaced the per-section endpoint duplication with a current real
  endpoint list and a pointer to docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md.
- Documented that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the
  Flask app at app.py:607-615, not in the api_v3 blueprint.

scripts/install/README.md
- Was missing 3 of the 9 install scripts in the directory:
  one-shot-install.sh, configure_wifi_permissions.sh, and
  debug_install.sh. Added them with brief descriptions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: clarify plugin paths and fix systemd manual install bug

PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md
- Added a "Plugin directory note" callout near the top explaining
  the plugins/ vs plugin-repos/ split:
  - Dev workflow uses plugins/ (where dev_plugin_setup.sh creates
    symlinks)
  - Production / Plugin Store uses plugin-repos/ (the configurable
    default per config.template.json:130)
  - The plugin loader falls back to plugins/ so dev symlinks are
    picked up automatically (schema_manager.py:77)
  - User can set plugins_directory to "plugins" in the General tab
    if they want both to share a directory

CLAUDE.md
- The Project Structure section had plugins/ and plugin-repos/
  exactly reversed:
  - Old: "plugins/ - Installed plugins directory (gitignored)"
         "plugin-repos/ - Development symlinks to monorepo plugin dirs"
  - Real: plugin-repos/ is the canonical Plugin Store install
    location and is not gitignored. plugins/* IS gitignored
    (verified in .gitignore) and is the legacy/dev location used by
    scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh.
  Reversed the descriptions and added line refs.

systemd/README.md
- "Manual Installation" section told users to copy the unit file
  directly to /etc/systemd/system/. Verified the unit file in
  systemd/ledmatrix.service contains __PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__
  placeholders that the install scripts substitute at install time.
  A user following the manual steps would get a service that fails
  to start with "WorkingDirectory=__PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__" errors.
  Added a clear warning and a sed snippet that substitutes the
  placeholder before installing.

src/common/README.md
- Was missing 2 of the 11 utility modules in the directory
  (verified with ls): permission_utils.py and cli.py. Added brief
  descriptions for both.

Out-of-scope code bug found while auditing (flagged but not fixed):
- scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh:9 sets PROJECT_ROOT="$SCRIPT_DIR"
  which resolves to scripts/dev/, not the project root. This means
  the script's PLUGINS_DIR resolves to scripts/dev/plugins/ instead
  of the project's plugins/ — confirmed by the existence of
  scripts/dev/plugins/of-the-day/ from prior runs. Real fix is to
  set PROJECT_ROOT="$(cd "$SCRIPT_DIR/../.." && pwd)". Not fixing in
  this docs PR.

* docs: flag aspirational/regressed features in plugin docs

These docs describe features that exist as documented in the doc but
either never wired up or regressed when v3 shipped. Each gets a clear
status banner so plugin authors don't waste time chasing features that
don't actually work.

FONT_MANAGER.md
- The "For Plugin Developers / Plugin Font Registration" section
  documents adding a "fonts" block to manifest.json that gets
  registered via FontManager.register_plugin_fonts(). The method
  exists at src/font_manager.py:150 but is **never called from
  anywhere** in the codebase (verified: zero callers). A plugin
  shipping a manifest "fonts" block has its fonts silently ignored.
  Added a status warning and a note about how to actually ship plugin
  fonts (regular files in the plugin dir, loaded directly).

PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md
- Added a top-level status banner.
- Architecture diagram referenced src/plugin_system/registry_manager.py
  (which doesn't exist) and listed plugins/ as the install location.
  Replaced with the real file list (plugin_loader, schema_manager,
  health_monitor, operation_queue, state_manager) and pointed at
  plugin-repos/ as the default install location.
- "Dependency Management: Virtual Environments" — verified there's no
  per-plugin venv. Removed the bullet and added a note that plugin
  Python deps install into the system Python environment, with no
  conflict resolution.
- "Permission System: File Access Control / Network Access /
  Resource Limits / CPU and memory constraints" — none of these
  exist. There's a resource_monitor.py and health_monitor.py for
  metrics/warnings, but no hard caps or sandboxing. Replaced the
  section with what's actually implemented and a clear note that
  plugins run in the same process with full file/network access.

PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS.md and PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- The custom-icon feature was implemented in the v2 web interface
  via a getPluginIcon() helper in templates/index_v2.html that read
  the manifest "icon" field. When the v3 web interface was built,
  that helper wasn't ported. Verified in
  web_interface/templates/v3/base.html:515 and :774, plugin tab
  icons are hardcoded to `fas fa-puzzle-piece`. The "icon" field in
  plugin manifests is currently silently ignored (verified with grep
  across web_interface/ and src/plugin_system/ — zero non-action-
  related reads of plugin.icon or manifest.icon).
- Added a status banner to both docs noting the regression so plugin
  authors don't think their custom icons are broken in their own
  plugin code.

* docs: fix .cursor/ helper docs

The .cursor/ directory holds the dev-side helper docs that Cursor and
contributors using AI tooling rely on to bootstrap plugin development.
Several of them had the same bug patterns as the user-facing docs.

.cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md
- "Adding Image Rendering" section showed
  display_manager.draw_image(image, x=0, y=0). That method doesn't
  exist on DisplayManager (same bug as PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md and
  PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md). Replaced with the canonical
  display_manager.image.paste((x,y)) pattern, including the
  transparency-mask form.

.cursor/plugins_guide.md
- 10 occurrences of ./dev_plugin_setup.sh — the script lives at
  scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh, so anyone copy-pasting these
  examples gets "command not found". Bulk fixed via sed.
- "Test with emulator: python run.py --emulator" — there's no
  --emulator flag. Replaced with the real options:
  EMULATOR=true python3 run.py for the full display, or
  scripts/dev_server.py for the dev preview.
- Secrets management section showed a fictional
  "config_secrets": { "api_key": "my-plugin.api_key" } reference
  field. Verified in src/config_manager.py:162-172 that secrets are
  loaded by deep-merging config_secrets.json into the main config.
  There is no separate reference field — just put the secret under
  the same plugin namespace and read it from the merged config.
  Rewrote the section with the real pattern.
- "ssh pi@raspberrypi" -> "ssh ledpi@your-pi-ip" (consistent with
  the rest of LEDMatrix docs which use ledpi as the default user)

.cursor/README.md
- Same ./dev_plugin_setup.sh -> ./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh
  fix (×6 occurrences via replace_all).
- Same "python run.py --emulator" -> "EMULATOR=true python3 run.py"
  fix. Also added a pointer to scripts/dev_server.py for previewing
  plugins without running the full display.
- "Example Plugins: plugins/hockey-scoreboard/" — the canonical
  source is the ledmatrix-plugins repo. Installed copies land in
  plugin-repos/ or plugins/. Updated the line to point at the
  ledmatrix-plugins repo and explain both local locations.

* docs: fix .cursorrules — the file Cursor auto-loads to learn the API

This is the file that Cursor reads to learn how plugin development
works. Stale entries here directly mislead AI-assisted plugin authors
on every new plugin. Several of the same bug patterns I've been
fixing in the user-facing docs were here too.

Display Manager section (highest impact)
- "draw_image(image, x, y): Draw PIL Image" — that method doesn't
  exist on DisplayManager. Same bug already fixed in
  PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md, PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md,
  ledmatrix-stocks/README.md, and .cursor/plugin_templates/QUICK_START.md.
  Removed the bullet and replaced it with a paragraph explaining the
  real pattern: paste onto display_manager.image directly, then
  update_display(). Includes the transparency-mask form.
- Added the small_font/centered args to draw_text() since they're
  the ones that matter most for new plugin authors
- Added draw_weather_icon since it's commonly used

Cache Manager section
- "delete(key): Remove cached value" — there's no delete() method
  on CacheManager. The real method is clear_cache(key=None) (also
  removes everything when called without args). Same bug as before.
- Added get_cached_data_with_strategy and get_background_cached_data
  since contributors will hit these when working on sports plugins

Plugin System Overview
- "loaded from the plugins/ directory" — clarified that the default
  is plugin-repos/ (per config.template.json:130) with plugins/ as
  the dev fallback used by scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh

Plugin Development Workflow
- ./dev_plugin_setup.sh -> ./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh (×2)
- Manual setup step "Create directory in plugins/<plugin-id>/" ->
  plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/ as the canonical location
- "Use emulator: python run.py --emulator or ./run_emulator.sh"
  — the --emulator flag doesn't exist; ./run_emulator.sh isn't at
  root (it lives at scripts/dev/run_emulator.sh). Replaced with the
  real options: scripts/dev_server.py for dev preview, or
  EMULATOR=true python3 run.py for the full emulator path.

Configuration Management
- "Reference secrets via config_secrets key in main config" — this
  is the same fictional reference syntax I just fixed in
  .cursor/plugins_guide.md. Verified in src/config_manager.py:162-172
  that secrets are deep-merged into the main config; there's no
  separate reference field. Replaced with a clear explanation of
  the deep-merge approach.

Code Organization
- "plugins/<plugin-id>/" -> the canonical location is
  plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/ (or its dev-time symlink in plugins/)
- "see plugins/hockey-scoreboard/ as reference" — the canonical
  source for example plugins is the ledmatrix-plugins repo. Updated
  the pointer.

* Add LICENSE (GPL-3.0) and CONTRIBUTING.md

LICENSE
- The repository previously had no LICENSE file. The README and every
  downstream plugin README already reference GPL-3.0 ("same as
  LEDMatrix project"), but the canonical license text was missing —
  contributors had no formal record of what they were contributing
  under, and GitHub couldn't auto-detect the license for the repo
  banner.
- Added the canonical GPL-3.0 text from
  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt (verbatim, 674 lines).
- Compatibility verified: rpi-rgb-led-matrix is GPL-2.0-or-later
  (per its COPYING file and README; the "or any later version" clause
  in lib/*.h headers makes GPL-3.0 distribution legal).

CONTRIBUTING.md
- The repository had no CONTRIBUTING file. New contributors had to
  reconstruct the dev setup from DEVELOPMENT.md, PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md,
  SUBMISSION.md, and the root README.
- Added a single page covering: dev environment setup (preview
  server, emulator, hardware), running tests, PR submission flow,
  commit message convention, plugin contribution pointer, and the
  license terms contributors are agreeing to.

> Note for the maintainer: I (the AI assistant doing this audit) am
> selecting GPL-3.0 because every reference in the existing
> documentation already says GPL-3.0 — this commit just makes that
> declaration legally binding by adding the actual file. Please
> confirm during PR review that GPL-3.0 is what you want; if you
> prefer a different license, revert this commit before merging.

* Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, PR template; link them from README

Tier 1 organizational files that any open-source project at
LEDMatrix's maturity is expected to have. None of these existed
before. They're additive — no existing content was rewritten.

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
- Contributor Covenant 2.1 (the de facto standard for open-source
  projects). Mentions both the Discord and the GitHub Security
  Advisories channel for reporting violations.

SECURITY.md
- Private vulnerability disclosure flow with two channels: GitHub
  Security Advisories (preferred) and Discord DM.
- Documents the project's known security model as intentional
  rather than vulnerabilities: no web UI auth, plugins run
  unsandboxed, display service runs as root for GPIO access,
  config_secrets.json is plaintext. These match the limitations
  already called out in PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md and the audit
  flagging from earlier in this PR.
- Out-of-scope section points users at upstream
  (rpi-rgb-led-matrix, third-party plugins) so reports land in the
  right place.

.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
- 10-line checklist that prompts for the things that would have
  caught the bugs in this very PR: did you load the changed plugin
  once, did you update docs alongside code, are there any plugin
  compatibility implications.
- Linked from CONTRIBUTING.md for the full flow.

README.md
- Added a License section near the bottom (the README previously
  said nothing about the license despite the project being GPL-3.0).
- Added a Contributing section pointing at CONTRIBUTING.md and
  SECURITY.md.

* Customize bug report template for LEDMatrix hardware

The bug_report.md template was the GitHub default and asked
"Desktop (OS/Browser/Version)" and "Smartphone (Device/OS)" — neither
of which is relevant for a project that runs on a Raspberry Pi with
hardware LED panels. A user filing a bug under the old template was
giving us none of the information we'd actually need to triage it.

Replaced with a LEDMatrix-aware template that prompts for:
- Pi model, OS/kernel, panel type, HAT/Bonnet, PWM jumper status,
  display chain dimensions
- LEDMatrix git commit / release tag
- Plugin id and version (if the bug is plugin-related)
- Relevant config snippet (with redaction reminder for API keys)
- journalctl log excerpt with the exact command to capture it
- Optional photo of the actual display for visual issues

Kept feature_request.md as-is — generic content there is fine.

* docs: fix bare /api/plugins paths in PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS

Found 5 more bare /api/plugins/* paths in PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS.md
that I missed in the round 2 sweep — they're inside data flow diagrams
and prose ("loaded via /api/plugins/installed", etc.) so the earlier
grep over Markdown code blocks didn't catch them. Fixed all 5 to use
/api/v3/plugins/* (the api_v3 blueprint mount path verified at
web_interface/app.py:144).

Also added a status banner noting that the "Implementation Details"
section references the pre-v3 file layout (web_interface_v2.py,
templates/index_v2.html) which no longer exists. The current
implementation is in web_interface/app.py, blueprints/api_v3.py, and
templates/v3/. Same kind of historical drift I flagged in
PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md and the PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE doc.
The user-facing parts of the doc (Overview, Features, Form Generation
Process) are still accurate.

* docs(widgets): list the 20 undocumented built-in widgets

The widget registry README documented 3 widgets (file-upload,
checkbox-group, custom-feeds) but the directory contains 23 registered
widgets total. A plugin author reading this doc would think those 3
were the only built-in options and either reach for a custom widget
unnecessarily or settle for a generic text input.

Verified the actual list with:
  grep -h "register('" web_interface/static/v3/js/widgets/*.js \
    | sed -E "s|.*register\\('([^']+)'.*|\\1|" | sort -u

Added an "Other Built-in Widgets" section after the 3 detailed
sections, listing the remaining 20 with one-line descriptions
organized by category:
- Inputs (6): text-input, textarea, number-input, email-input,
  url-input, password-input
- Selectors (7): select-dropdown, radio-group, toggle-switch,
  slider, color-picker, font-selector, timezone-selector
- Date/time/scheduling (4): date-picker, day-selector, time-range,
  schedule-picker
- Composite/data-source (2): array-table, google-calendar-picker
- Internal (2): notification, base-widget

Pointed at the .js source files as the canonical source for each
widget's exact schema and options — keeps this list low-maintenance
since I'm not duplicating each widget's full options table.

* docs: fix README_NBA_LOGOS and PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE

scripts/README_NBA_LOGOS.md
- "python download_nba_logos.py" — wrong on two counts. The script
  is at scripts/download_nba_logos.py (not the project root), and
  "python" is Python 2 on most systems. Replaced all 4 occurrences
  with "python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py".
- The doc framed itself as the way to set up "the NBA leaderboard".
  The basketball/leaderboard functionality is now in the
  basketball-scoreboard and ledmatrix-leaderboard plugins (in the
  ledmatrix-plugins repo), which auto-download logos on first run.
  Reframed the script as a pre-population utility for offline / dev
  use cases.
- Bumped the documented Python minimum from 3.7 to 3.9 to match
  the rest of the project.

docs/PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md
- The "Plugin Manifest" example was missing 3 fields the plugin
  loader actually requires: id, entry_point, and class_name. A
  contributor copying this manifest verbatim would get
  PluginError("No class_name in manifest") at load time — the same
  loader bug already found in stock-news. Added all three.
- The same example showed config_schema as an inline object. The
  loader expects config_schema to be a file path string (e.g.
  "config_schema.json") with the actual schema in a separate JSON
  file — verified earlier in this audit. Fixed.
- Added a paragraph explaining the loader's required fields and
  the case-sensitivity rule on class_name (the bug that broke
  hello-world's manifest before this PR fixed it).
- "Plugin Manager Class" example had the wrong constructor
  signature: (config, display_manager, cache_manager, font_manager).
  The real BasePlugin.__init__ at base_plugin.py:53-60 takes
  (plugin_id, config, display_manager, cache_manager, plugin_manager).
  A copy-pasted example would TypeError on instantiation. Fixed,
  including a comment noting which attributes BasePlugin sets up.
- Renamed the example class from MyPluginManager to MyPlugin to
  match the project convention (XxxPlugin / XxxScoreboardPlugin
  in actual plugins).

* docs(requirements): document optional dependencies (scipy, psutil, Flask-Limiter)

A doc-vs-code crosscheck of every Python import in src/ and
web_interface/ against requirements.txt found 3 packages that the
code uses but requirements.txt doesn't list. Verified with grep that
all 3 are wrapped in try/except blocks with documented fallback
paths, so they're optional features rather than missing required
deps:

- scipy           src/common/scroll_helper.py:26
                  → from scipy.ndimage import shift; HAS_SCIPY flag.
                  Used for sub-pixel interpolation in scrolling.
                  Falls back to a simpler shift algorithm without it.

- psutil          src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py:15
                  → import psutil; PSUTIL_AVAILABLE flag. Used for
                  per-plugin CPU/memory monitoring. Silently no-ops
                  without it.

- flask-limiter   web_interface/app.py:42-43
                  → from flask_limiter import Limiter; wrapped at the
                  caller. Used for accidental-abuse rate limiting on
                  the web interface (not security). Web interface
                  starts without rate limiting when missing.

These were latent in two ways:
1. A user reading requirements.txt thinks they have the full feature
   set after `pip install -r requirements.txt`, but they don't get
   smoother scrolling, plugin resource monitoring, or rate limiting.
2. A contributor who deletes one of the packages from their dev env
   wouldn't know which feature they just lost — the fallbacks are
   silent.

Added an "Optional dependencies" section at the bottom of
requirements.txt with the version constraint, the file:line where
each is used, the feature it enables, and the install command. The
comment-only format means `pip install -r requirements.txt` still
gives the minimal-feature install (preserving current behavior),
while users who want the full feature set can copy the explicit
pip install commands.

Other findings from the same scan that came back as false positives
or known issues:
- web_interface_v2: dead pattern flagged in earlier iteration
  (still no real implementation; affects 11+ plugins via the same
  try/except dead-fallback pattern)
- urllib3: comes with `requests` transitively
- All 'src.', 'web_interface.', 'rgbmatrix', 'RGBMatrixEmulator'
  imports: internal modules
- base_plugin / plugin_manager / store_manager / mocks /
  visual_display_manager: relative imports to local modules
- freetype: false positive (freetype-py is in requirements.txt
  under the package name)

* docs: fix broken file references found by path-existence crosscheck

Ran a doc-vs-filesystem crosscheck: extracted every backtick-quoted
path with a file extension or known directory prefix from docs/*.md
and verified each exists. After filtering false positives
(placeholder paths, config keys mistaken for paths, paths inside
docs that already have historical-status banners), found 4 real
broken references — 3 fixed in docs, 1 fixed by creating the missing
file:

docs/HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md:339
- Claimed ".github/workflows/tests.yml" exists and runs pytest on
  multiple Python versions in CI. There is no such workflow.
  The only GitHub Actions file is security-audit.yml (bandit + semgrep).
- Pytest runs locally but is NOT gated on PRs.
- Replaced the fictional CI section with the actual state and a
  note explaining how someone could contribute a real test workflow.

docs/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md:92
- Referenced scripts/fix_perms/README.md "(if exists)" — the
  hedge betrays that the writer wasn't sure. The README didn't
  exist. The 6 scripts in scripts/fix_perms/ were never documented.
- Created the missing scripts/fix_perms/README.md from scratch
  with one-line descriptions of all 6 scripts (fix_assets,
  fix_cache, fix_plugin, fix_web, fix_nhl_cache, safe_plugin_rm)
  + when-to-use-each guidance + usage examples.
- Updated MIGRATION_GUIDE link to drop the "(if exists)" hedge
  since the file now exists.

docs/FONT_MANAGER.md:376
- "See test/font_manager_example.py for a complete working example"
  — that file does not exist. Verified by listing test/ directory.
- Replaced with a pointer to src/font_manager.py itself and the
  existing scoreboard base classes in src/base_classes/ that
  actually use the font manager API in production.

Path-existence check methodology:
- Walked docs/ recursively, regex-extracted backtick-quoted paths
  matching either /\.(py|sh|json|yml|yaml|md|txt|service|html|js|css|ttf|bdf|png)/
  or paths starting with known directory prefixes (scripts/, src/,
  config/, web_interface/, systemd/, assets/, docs/, test/, etc.)
- Filtered out URLs, absolute paths (placeholders), and paths
  without slashes (likely not relative refs).
- Checked existence relative to project root.
- Out of 80 unique relative paths in docs/, 32 didn't exist on
  disk. Most were false positives (configkeys mistaken for paths,
  example placeholders like 'assets/myfont.ttf', historical
  references inside docs that already have status banners). The 4
  above were genuine broken refs.

This pattern is reusable for future iterations and worth wiring
into CI (link checker like lychee, scoped to fenced code paths
rather than just markdown links, would catch the same class).

* 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.

efe6b1fe23 fix: reduce CPU usage, fix Vegas refresh, throttle high-FPS ticks (#304)
* fix: reduce CPU usage, fix Vegas mid-cycle refresh, and throttle high-FPS plugin ticks

Web UI Info plugin was causing 90%+ CPU on RPi4 due to frequent subprocess
calls and re-rendering. Fixed by: trying socket-based IP detection first
(zero subprocess overhead), caching AP mode checks with 60s TTL, reducing
IP refresh from 30s to 5m, caching rendered display images, and loading
fonts once at init.

Vegas mode was not updating the display mid-cycle because hot_swap_content()
reset the scroll position to 0 on every recomposition. Now saves and
restores scroll position for mid-cycle updates.

High-FPS display loop was calling _tick_plugin_updates() 125x/sec with no
benefit. Added throttled wrapper that limits to 1 call/sec.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address PR review — respect plugin update_interval, narrow exception handlers

Make _tick_plugin_updates_throttled default to no-throttle (min_interval=0)
so plugin-configured update_interval values are never silently capped.
The high-FPS call site passes an explicit 1.0s interval.

Narrow _load_font exception handler from bare Exception to
FileNotFoundError | OSError so unexpected errors surface.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): scale scroll position proportionally on mid-cycle hot-swap

When content width changes during a mid-cycle recomposition (e.g., a
plugin gains or loses items), blindly restoring the old scroll_position
and total_distance_scrolled could overshoot the new total_scroll_width
and trigger immediate false completion. Scale both values proportionally
to the new width and clamp scroll_position to stay in bounds.

5ea2acd897 fix(web): array-table Add Item button creates rows with input fields (#302) (#303)
The data-item-properties attribute on the Add Item button was serialized
inside double-quoted HTML using {{ item_properties|tojson|e }}. Jinja2's
|tojson returns Markup (marked safe), making |e a no-op — the JSON
double quotes were not escaped to &quot;. The browser truncated the
attribute at the first " in the JSON, so addArrayTableRow() parsed an
empty object and created rows with only a trash icon.

Fix: switch to single-quote attribute delimiters (JSON only uses double
quotes internally) and filter item_properties to only the display
columns, avoiding large nested objects in the attribute value.

Closes #302

68a0fe1182 fix(web): resolve plugin settings tabs not loading (#301)
* fix(web): resolve plugin settings tabs not loading due to enhancement race

Two co-occurring bugs prevented plugin setting tabs from loading:

1. Both stub-to-full app() enhancement paths (tryEnhance and
   requestAnimationFrame) could fire independently, with the second
   overwriting installedPlugins back to [] after init() already fetched
   them. Added a guard flag (_appEnhanced) and runtime state preservation
   to prevent this race.

2. Plugin config x-init only loaded content if window.htmx was available
   at that exact moment, with no retry or fallback. Added retry loop
   (up to 3s) and fetch() fallback for resilience.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): use runtime default tab and add Alpine.initTree to fetch fallback

- Replace hard-coded 'overview' comparison with runtime defaultTab
  (isAPMode ? 'wifi' : 'overview') in both enhancement paths, so
  activeTab is preserved correctly in AP mode
- Add Alpine.initTree(el) call in the plugin config fetch() fallback
  so Alpine directives in the injected HTML are initialized, matching
  the pattern used by loadOverviewDirect and loadWifiDirect

7afc2c0670 fix(web): increase chain_length max from 8 to 32 (#300)
* fix(web): increase chain_length max from 8 to 32

The web UI form input capped chain_length at 8 panels, preventing
users with larger displays (e.g. 16-panel setups) from configuring
their hardware through the UI. The backend API had no such limit.

Changed max="8" to max="32" to support large display configurations.
Added panel count example to the help text.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): add server-side bounds validation for display hardware fields

The API endpoint at /api/v3/config/main accepted any integer value for
display hardware fields (chain_length, rows, cols, brightness, etc.)
without bounds checking. Only the HTML form had min/max attributes,
which are trivially bypassed by direct API calls.

Added _int_field_limits dict with bounds for all integer hardware fields:
  chain_length: 1-32, parallel: 1-4, brightness: 1-100,
  rows: 8-128, cols: 16-128, scan_mode: 0-1, pwm_bits: 1-11,
  pwm_dither_bits: 0-2, pwm_lsb_nanoseconds: 50-500,
  limit_refresh_rate_hz: 0-1000, gpio_slowdown: 0-5

Out-of-bounds or non-integer values now return 400 with a clear error
message (e.g. "Invalid chain_length value 99. Must be between 1 and 32.")
before any config is persisted. Follows the same inline validation
pattern already used for led_rgb_sequence, panel_type, and multiplexing.

* fix(api): strict int validation and add max_dynamic_duration_seconds bounds

Reject bool/float types in _int_field_limits validation loop to prevent
silent coercion, and add max_dynamic_duration_seconds to the validation
map so it gets proper bounds checking instead of a raw int() call.

ee4149dc49 fix(vegas): refresh scroll buffer on live score updates (#299)
* fix(vegas): refresh scroll buffer when plugins report live data updates

should_recompose() only checked for cycle completion or staging buffer
content, but plugin updates go to _pending_updates — not the staging
buffer. The scroll display kept showing the old pre-rendered image
until the full cycle ended, even though fresh scores were already
fetched and logged.

Add has_pending_updates() check so hot_swap_content() triggers
immediately when plugins have new data.

Fixes #230

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): scope hot-swap to visible segments; use monotonic clock

1. Replace has_pending_updates() with has_pending_updates_for_visible_segments()
   so hot_swap_content() only fires when a pending update affects a plugin that
   is actually in the active scroll buffer (with images). Avoids unnecessary
   recomposition when non-visible plugins report updates.

2. Switch all display-loop timing (start_time, elapsed, _next_live_priority_check)
   from time.time() to time.monotonic() to prevent clock-stepping issues from
   NTP adjustments on Raspberry Pi.

5ddf8b1aea fix: live priority now interrupts long display durations (#196) (#298)
* fix: check live priority during display loops to interrupt long durations (#196)

_check_live_priority() was only called once per main loop iteration,
before entering the display duration loop. With dynamic duration enabled,
the loop could run for 60-120+ seconds without ever checking if a
favorite team's live game started — so the display stayed on leaderboard,
weather, etc. while the live game played.

Now both the high-FPS and normal FPS display loops check for live
priority every ~30 seconds (throttled to avoid overhead). When live
content is detected, the loop breaks immediately and switches to the
live game mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: update rotation index when live priority interrupts display loop

The live priority break set current_display_mode but not
current_mode_index, so the post-loop rotation logic (which checks the
old active_mode) would overwrite the live mode on the next advance.

Now both loops also set current_mode_index to match the live mode,
mirroring the existing pattern at the top of the main loop (line 1385).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use timestamp throttle for live priority and skip post-loop rotation

Two issues fixed:

1. The modulo-based throttle (elapsed % 30.0 < display_interval) could
   miss the narrow 8ms window due to timing jitter. Replaced with an
   explicit timestamp check (_next_live_priority_check) that fires
   reliably every 30 seconds.

2. After breaking out of the display loop for live priority, the
   post-loop code (remaining-duration sleep and rotation advancement)
   would still run and overwrite the live mode. Now a continue skips
   directly to the next main loop iteration when current_display_mode
   was changed during the loop.

35df06b8e1 fix: resolve font upload "baseUrl is not defined" error (#235) (#297)
The baseUrl variable was declared inside an IIFE that skips re-execution
on HTMX reloads, so it became undefined when the fonts tab was reloaded.
Since baseUrl was just window.location.origin prepended to absolute paths
like /api/v3/fonts/upload, it was unnecessary — fetch() with a leading
slash already resolves against the current origin.

Remove baseUrl entirely and use relative URLs in all 7 fetch calls.

77e9eba294 fix: overhaul WiFi captive portal for reliable setup (#296)
* fix: overhaul WiFi captive portal for reliable device detection and fast setup

The captive portal detection endpoints were returning "success" responses
that told every OS (iOS, Android, Windows, Firefox) that internet was
working — so the portal popup never appeared. This fixes the core issue
and improves the full setup flow:

- Return portal-triggering redirects when AP mode is active; normal
  success responses when not (no false popups on connected devices)
- Add lightweight self-contained setup page (9KB, no frameworks) for
  the captive portal webview instead of the full UI
- Cache AP mode check with 5s TTL (single systemctl call vs full
  WiFiManager instantiation per request)
- Stop disabling AP mode during WiFi scans (which disconnected users);
  serve cached/pre-scanned results instead
- Pre-scan networks before enabling AP mode so captive portal has
  results immediately
- Use dnsmasq.d drop-in config instead of overwriting /etc/dnsmasq.conf
  (preserves Pi-hole and other services)
- Fix manual SSID input bug that incorrectly overwrote dropdown selection

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address review findings for WiFi captive portal

- Remove orphaned comment left over from old scan_networks() finally block
- Add sudoers rules for dnsmasq drop-in copy/remove to install script
- Combine cached-network message into single showMsg call (was overwriting)
- Return (networks, was_cached) tuple from scan_networks() so API endpoint
  derives cached flag from the scan itself instead of a redundant AP check
- Narrow exception catch in AP mode cache to SubprocessError/OSError and
  log the failure for remote debugging
- Bound checkNewIP retries to 20 attempts (60s) before showing fallback

6eccb74415 fix: handle dotted schema keys in plugin settings save (#295)
* fix: handle dotted schema keys in plugin settings save (issue #254)

The soccer plugin uses dotted keys like "eng.1" for league identifiers.
PR #260 fixed backend helpers but the JS frontend still corrupted these
keys by naively splitting on dots. This fixes both the JS and remaining
Python code paths:

- JS getSchemaProperty(): greedy longest-match for dotted property names
- JS dotToNested(): schema-aware key grouping to preserve "eng.1" as one key
- Python fix_array_structures(): remove broken prefix re-navigation in recursion
- Python ensure_array_defaults(): same prefix navigation fix

Closes #254

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address review findings for dotted-key handling

- ensure_array_defaults: replace None nodes with {} so recursion
  proceeds into nested objects (was skipping when key existed as None)
- dotToNested: add tail-matching that checks the full remaining dotted
  tail against the current schema level before greedy intermediate
  matching, preventing leaf dotted keys from being split
- syncFormToJson: replace naive key.split('.') reconstruction with
  dotToNested(flatConfig, schema) and schema-aware getSchemaProperty()
  so the JSON tab save path produces the same correct nesting as the
  form submit path
- Add regression tests for dotted-key array normalization and None
  array default replacement

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address second round of review findings

- Tests: replace conditional `if response.status_code == 200` guards
  with unconditional `assert response.status_code == 200` so failures
  are not silently swallowed
- dotToNested: guard finalKey write with `if (i < parts.length)` to
  prevent empty-string key pollution when tail-matching consumed all
  parts
- Extract normalizeFormDataForConfig() helper from handlePluginConfigSubmit
  and call it from both handlePluginConfigSubmit and syncFormToJson so
  the JSON tab sync uses the same robust FormData processing (including
  _data JSON inputs, bracket-notation checkboxes, array-of-objects,
  file-upload widgets, checkbox DOM detection, and unchecked boolean
  handling via collectBooleanFields)

* fix(web): use HTMX for Plugin Manager tab loading instead of custom fetch

The Plugin Manager tab was the only tab using a custom window.loadPluginsTab()
function with plain fetch() instead of HTMX. This caused a race condition where
plugins_manager.js listened for htmx:afterSwap to initialize, but that event
never fired for the custom fetch. Users had to navigate to a plugin config tab
and back to trigger initialization.

Changes:
- Switch plugins tab to hx-get/hx-trigger="revealed" matching all other tabs
- Remove ~560 lines of dead code (script extraction for a partial with no scripts,
  nested retry intervals, inline HTML card rendering fallbacks)
- Add simple loadPluginsDirect() fallback for when HTMX fails to load
- Remove typeof htmx guard on afterSwap listener so it registers unconditionally
- Tighten afterSwap target check to avoid spurious re-init from other tab swaps

* fix: address CodeRabbit review findings across plugin system

- plugin_manager.py: clear plugin_manifests/plugin_directories before update
  to prevent ghost entries for uninstalled plugins persisting across scans
- state_reconciliation.py: remove 'enabled' key check that skipped legacy
  plugin configs, default to enabled=True matching PluginManager.load_plugin
- app.py: add threading.Lock around reconciliation start guard to prevent
  race condition spawning duplicate threads; add -> None return annotation
- store_manager.py: use resolved registry ID (alt_id) instead of original
  plugin_id when reinstalling during monorepo migration
- base.html: check Response.ok in loadPluginsDirect fallback; trigger
  fallback on tab click when HTMX unavailable; remove active-tab check
  from 5-second timeout so content preloads regardless

Skipped: api_v3.py secret redaction suggestion — the caller at line 2539
already tries schema-based mask_secret_fields() before falling back to
_conservative_mask_config, making the suggested change redundant.

- base.html: fix hx-on::htmx:response-error → hx-on::response-error
  (the :: shorthand already adds the htmx: prefix, so the original

Skipped findings:
- web-ui-info in _SYSTEM_CONFIG_KEYS: it's a real plugin with manifest.json
  and config entry, not a system key

81a022dbe8 fix(web): resolve file upload config lookup for server-rendered forms (#279)
* fix(web): resolve file upload config lookup for server-rendered forms

The file upload widget's getUploadConfig() function failed to map
server-rendered field IDs (e.g., "static-image-images") back to schema
property keys ("images"), causing upload config (plugin_id, endpoint,
allowed_types) to be lost. This could prevent image uploads from
working correctly in the static-image plugin and others.

Changes:
- Add data-* attributes to the Jinja2 file-upload template so upload
  config is embedded directly on the file input element
- Update getUploadConfig() in both file-upload.js and plugins_manager.js
  to read config from data attributes first, falling back to schema lookup
- Remove duplicate handleFiles/handleFileDrop/handleFileSelect from
  plugins_manager.js that overwrote the more robust file-upload.js versions
- Bump cache-busting version strings so browsers fetch updated JS

* fix(web): harden file upload functions against CodeRabbit patterns

- Add response.ok guard before response.json() in handleFiles,

- Remove duplicate getUploadConfig() from plugins_manager.js;
  file-upload.js now owns this function exclusively
- Replace innerHTML with textContent/DOM methods in
  handleCredentialsUpload to prevent XSS (PR #271 finding)
- Fix redundant if-check in getUploadConfig data-attribute reader

* fix(web): address CodeRabbit findings on file upload widget

- Add data-multiple="true" discriminator on array file inputs so
  handleFileDrop routes multi-file drops to handleFiles() not
  handleSingleFileUpload()
- Duplicate upload config data attributes onto drop zone wrapper so
  getUploadConfig() survives progress-helper DOM re-renders that
  remove the file input element
- Clear file input in finally block after credentials upload to allow
  re-selecting the same file on retry
- Branch deleteUploadedFile on fileType: JSON deletes remove the DOM
  element directly instead of routing through updateImageList() which
  renders image-specific cards (thumbnails, scheduling controls)

- Replace ~65 bare print() calls with structured logger.exception/error/warning/info/debug
- Remove ~35 redundant inline `import traceback` and `import logging` statements
- Convert logging.error/warning calls to use module-level named logger
- Fix WiFi endpoints that created redundant inline logger instances
- Add logger.exception() at all WebInterfaceError.from_exception() call sites
- Fix from_exception() in errors.py to use safe messages instead of raw str(exception)
- Apply consistent [Tag] prefixes to all logger calls for production triage

Only safe, user-input-derived str(e) kept: json.JSONDecodeError handlers (400 responses).
Subprocess template print(stdout) calls preserved (not error logging).

- Replace dead FileNotFoundError/JSONDecodeError/IOError handlers in
  get_dim_schedule_config with single ConfigError catch (load_config

31ed854d4e fix(config): deduplicate uniqueItems arrays before schema validation (#292)
* fix(config): deduplicate uniqueItems arrays before schema validation

When saving plugin config via the web UI, the form data is merged with
the existing stored config. If a user adds an item that already exists
(e.g. adding stock symbol "FNMA" when it's already in the list), the
merged array contains duplicates. Schemas with `uniqueItems: true`
then reject the config, making it impossible to save.

Add a recursive dedup pass that runs after normalization/filtering but
before validation. It walks the schema tree, finds arrays with the
uniqueItems constraint, and removes duplicates while preserving order.

* fix: recurse into array items and add tests for uniqueItems dedup

Address CodeRabbit review: _dedup_unique_arrays now also recurses into
array elements whose items schema is an object, so nested uniqueItems
constraints inside arrays-of-objects are enforced.

Add 11 unit tests covering:
- flat arrays with/without duplicates
- order preservation
- arrays without uniqueItems left untouched
- nested objects (feeds.stock_symbols pattern)
- arrays of objects with inner uniqueItems arrays
- edge cases (empty array, missing keys, integers)

Addresses CodeRabbit review: tests now validate the real function,
preventing regressions from diverging copies.

8391832c90 fix(vegas): keep plugin data and visuals fresh during Vegas scroll mode (#291)
* fix(vegas): keep plugin data and visuals fresh during Vegas scroll mode

Plugins using ESPN APIs and other data sources were not updating during
Vegas mode because the render loop blocked for 60-600s per iteration,
starving the scheduled update tick. This adds a non-blocking background
thread that runs plugin updates every ~1s during Vegas mode, bridges
update notifications to the stream manager, and clears stale scroll
caches so all three content paths (native, scroll_helper, fallback)
reflect fresh data.

- Add background update tick thread in Vegas coordinator (non-blocking)
- Add _tick_plugin_updates_for_vegas() bridge in display controller
- Fix fallback capture to call update() instead of only update_data()
- Clear scroll_helper.cached_image on update for scroll-based plugins
- Drain background thread on Vegas stop/exit to prevent races

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): address review findings in update pipeline

- Extract _drive_background_updates() helper and call it from both the
  render loop and the static-pause wait loop so plugin data stays fresh
  during static pauses (was skipped by the early `continue`)
- Remove synchronous plugin.update() from the fallback capture path;
  the background update tick already handles API refreshes so the
  content-fetch thread should only call lightweight update_data()

c8737d1a6c fix(api): use sys.executable for plugin action subprocess calls (#277)
* fix(api): use sys.executable for plugin action subprocess calls

The execute_plugin_action endpoint hardcoded 'python3' when spawning
plugin scripts via subprocess. This can fail if the system Python is
named differently or if a virtualenv is active, since 'python3' may
not point to the correct interpreter.

Changes:
- Replace 'python3' with sys.executable in the non-OAuth script
  execution branch (uses the same interpreter running the web service)
- Remove redundant 'import sys' inside the oauth_flow conditional
  block (sys is already imported at module level; the local import
  shadows the top-level binding for the entire function scope, which
  would cause UnboundLocalError if sys were referenced in the else
  branch on Python 3.12+)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(api): replace all remaining hardcoded python3 with sys.executable

Fix 4 additional subprocess calls that still used 'python3' instead of
sys.executable: parameterized action wrapper (line 5150), stdin-param
wrapper (line 5211), no-param wrapper (line 5417), and OAuth auth
script (line 5524). Ensures plugin actions work in virtualenvs and
non-standard Python installations.

Addresses CodeRabbit findings on PR #277.

76c5bf5781 fix(security): mask secret fields in API responses and extract helpers (#276)
* fix(security): mask secret fields in API responses and extract helpers

GET /config/secrets returned raw API keys in plaintext to the browser.
GET /plugins/config returned merged config including deep-merged secrets.
POST /plugins/config could overwrite existing secrets with empty strings
when the GET endpoint returned masked values that were sent back unchanged.

Changes:
- Add src/web_interface/secret_helpers.py with reusable functions:
  find_secret_fields, separate_secrets, mask_secret_fields,
  mask_all_secret_values, remove_empty_secrets
- GET /config/secrets: mask all values with '••••••••'
- GET /plugins/config: mask x-secret fields with ''
- POST /plugins/config: filter empty-string secrets before saving
- pages_v3: mask secrets before rendering plugin config templates
- Remove three duplicated inline find_secret_fields/separate_secrets
  definitions in api_v3.py (replaced by single imported module)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(security): harden secret masking against CodeRabbit findings

- Fail-closed: return 500 when schema unavailable instead of leaking secrets
- Fix falsey masking: use `is not None and != ''` instead of truthiness check
  so values like 0 or False are still redacted
- Add array-item secret support: recurse into `type: array` items schema
  to detect and mask secrets like accounts[].token
- pages_v3: fail-closed when schema properties missing

Addresses CodeRabbit findings on PR #276:
- Critical: fail-closed bypass when schema_mgr/schema missing
- Major: falsey values not masked (0, False leak through)
- Major: pages_v3 fail-open when schema absent
- Major: array-item secrets unsupported

The secrets template used "weather" as the key, but the weather plugin's

the main config by key, secrets under "weather" never reached the plugin
config at config["ledmatrix-weather"], making the API key invisible to
the plugin.

fe5c1d0d5e feat(web): add Google Calendar picker widget for dynamic multi-calendar selection (#274)
* fix(install): add --prefer-binary to pip installs to avoid /tmp exhaustion

timezonefinder (~54 MB) includes large timezone polygon data files that pip
unpacks into /tmp during installation. On Raspberry Pi, the default tmpfs
/tmp size (often ~half of RAM) can be too small, causing the install to fail
with an out-of-space error.

Adding --prefer-binary tells pip to prefer pre-built binary wheels over
source distributions. Since timezonefinder and most other packages publish
wheels on PyPI (and piwheels.org has ARM wheels), this avoids the large
temporary /tmp extraction and speeds up installs generally.

* fix(timezone): use America/New_York instead of EST for ESPN API date queries

EST is a fixed UTC-5 offset that does not observe daylight saving time,
causing the ESPN API date to be off by one hour during EDT (March–November).
America/New_York correctly handles DST transitions.

The ESPN scoreboard API anchors its schedule calendar to Eastern US time,
so this Eastern timezone is intentionally kept for the API date — it is not
user-configurable. Game time display is converted separately to the user's
configured timezone.

* feat(web): add Google Calendar picker widget for dynamic calendar selection

Adds a new google-calendar-picker widget and API endpoint that lets users

instead of manually typing calendar IDs.

- GET /api/v3/plugins/calendar/list-calendars — calls plugin.get_calendars()
  and returns all accessible calendars with id, summary, and primary flag
- google-calendar-picker.js — new widget: "Load My Calendars" button renders
  a checklist; selections update a hidden comma-separated input for form submit
- plugin_config.html — handles x-widget: google-calendar-picker in array branch
- base.html — loads the new widget script

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): address PR review findings in google-calendar-picker

- api_v3.py: replace broad except block with specific exception handling,
  log full traceback via module logger, normalize/validate get_calendars()
  output to stable {id,summary,primary} objects, return opaque user-friendly
  error message instead of leaking str(e)
- google-calendar-picker.js: fix button label only updating to "Refresh
  Calendars" on success (restore original label on error); update summary
  paragraph via syncHiddenAndSummary() on every checkbox change so UI stays
  in sync with hidden input; pass summary element through loadCalendars and
  renderCheckboxes instead of re-querying DOM
- plugin_config.html: bound initWidget retry loop with MAX_RETRIES=40 to
  prevent infinite timers; normalize legacy comma-separated string values
  to arrays before passing to widget.render so pre-existing config populates
  correctly
- install_dependencies_apt.py: update install_via_pip docstring to document
  both --break-system-packages and --prefer-binary flags

* fix(store): prevent bulk-update from stalling on bundled/in-repo plugins

Three related bugs caused the bulk plugin update to stall at 3/19:

1. Bundled plugins (e.g. starlark-apps, shipped with LEDMatrix rather
   than the plugin registry) had no metadata file, so update_plugin()
   returned False → API returned 500 → frontend queue halted.
   Fix: check for .plugin_metadata.json with install_type=bundled and
   return True immediately (these plugins update with LEDMatrix itself).

2. git config --get remote.origin.url (without --local) walked up the
   directory tree and found the parent LEDMatrix repo's remote URL for
   plugins that live inside plugin-repos/. This caused the store manager
   to attempt a 60-second git clone of the wrong repo for every update.
   Fix: use --local to scope the lookup to the plugin directory only.

3. hello-world manifest.json had a trailing comma causing JSON parse
   errors on every plugin discovery cycle (fixed on devpi directly).

* fix(march-madness): address PR #271 code review findings

Inline fixes:
- manager.py: swap min_duration/max_duration if misconfigured, log warning
- manager.py: call session.close() and null session in cleanup() to prevent
  socket leaks on constrained hardware
- manager.py: remove blocking network I/O from display(); update() is the
  sole fetch path (already uses 60s live-game interval)
- manager.py: guard scroll_helper None before create_scrolling_image() in
  _create_ticker_image() to prevent crash when ScrollHelper is unavailable
- store_manager.py: replace bare "except Exception: pass" with debug log
  including plugin_id and path when reading .plugin_metadata.json
- file-upload.js: add endpoint guard (error if uploadEndpoint is falsy),
  client-side extension validation from data-allowed-extensions, and
  response.ok check before response.json() in handleSingleFileUpload
- plugin_config.html: add data-allowed-extensions attribute to single-file
  input so JS handler can read the allowed extensions list

Nitpick fixes:
- manager.py: use logger.exception() (includes traceback) instead of
  logger.error() for league fetch errors
- manager.py: remove redundant "{e}" from logger.exception() calls for
  round logo and March Madness logo load errors

* fix(march-madness): address second round of PR #271 code review findings

Inline fixes:
- requirements.txt: bump Pillow to >=9.1.0 (required for Image.Resampling.LANCZOS)
- file-upload.js: replace all statusDiv.innerHTML assignments with safe DOM
  creation (textContent + createElement) to prevent XSS from untrusted strings
- plugin_config.html: add role="button", tabindex="0", aria-label, onkeydown
  (Enter/Space) to drop zone for keyboard accessibility; add aria-live="polite"
  to status div for screen-reader announcements
- file-upload.js: tighten handleFileDrop endpoint check to non-empty string
  (dataset.uploadEndpoint.trim() !== '') so an empty attribute falls back to
  the multi-file handler

Nitpick fixes:
- manager.py: remove redundant cached_image/cached_array reassignments after
  create_scrolling_image() which already sets them internally
- manager.py: narrow bare except in _get_team_logo to (FileNotFoundError,
  OSError, ValueError) for expected I/O errors; log unexpected exceptions
- store_manager.py: narrow except to (OSError, ValueError) when reading
  .plugin_metadata.json so unrelated exceptions propagate

275fed402e fix(logos): support logo downloads for custom soccer leagues (#262)
* fix(logos): support logo downloads for custom soccer leagues

LogoDownloader.fetch_teams_data() and fetch_single_team() only had
hardcoded API endpoints for predefined soccer leagues. Custom leagues
(e.g., por.1, mex.1) would silently fail when the ESPN game data
didn't include a direct logo URL. Now dynamically constructs the ESPN
teams API URL for any soccer_* league not in the predefined map.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(logos): address PR review — directory, bulk download, and dedup

- get_logo_directory: custom soccer leagues now resolve to shared
  assets/sports/soccer_logos/ instead of creating per-league dirs
- download_all_missing_logos: use _resolve_api_url so custom soccer
  leagues are no longer silently skipped
- Extract _resolve_api_url helper to deduplicate dynamic URL
  construction between fetch_teams_data and fetch_single_team

* fix(web): preserve array item properties in _set_nested_value

When saving config with array-of-objects fields (e.g., custom_leagues),
_set_nested_value would replace existing list objects with dicts when
navigating dot-notation paths like "custom_leagues.0.name". This
destroyed any properties on array items that weren't submitted in the
form (e.g., display_modes, game_limits, filtering).

Now properly indexes into existing lists when encountering numeric path
segments, preserving all non-submitted properties on array items.

* fix(store): prevent bulk-update from stalling on bundled/in-repo plugins

Three related bugs caused the bulk plugin update to stall at 3/19:

1. Bundled plugins (e.g. starlark-apps, shipped with LEDMatrix rather
   than the plugin registry) had no metadata file, so update_plugin()
   returned False → API returned 500 → frontend queue halted.
   Fix: check for .plugin_metadata.json with install_type=bundled and
   return True immediately (these plugins update with LEDMatrix itself).

2. git config --get remote.origin.url (without --local) walked up the
   directory tree and found the parent LEDMatrix repo's remote URL for
   plugins that live inside plugin-repos/. This caused the store manager
   to attempt a 60-second git clone of the wrong repo for every update.
   Fix: use --local to scope the lookup to the plugin directory only.

3. hello-world manifest.json had a trailing comma causing JSON parse
   errors on every plugin discovery cycle (fixed on devpi directly).

* fix(march-madness): address PR #263 code review findings

- Replace self.is_enabled with BasePlugin.self.enabled in update(),
  display(), and supports_dynamic_duration() so runtime toggles work
- Support quarter-based period labels for NCAAW (Q1..Q4 vs H1..H2),
  detected via league key or status_detail content
- Use live refresh interval (60s) for cache max_age during live games
  instead of hardcoded 300s
- Narrow broad except in _load_round_logos to (OSError, ValueError)
  with a fallback except Exception using logger.exception for traces
- Remove unused `situation` local variable from _parse_event()
- Add numpy>=1.24.0 to requirements.txt (imported but was missing)

23f0176c18 feat: add dev preview server and CLI render script (#264)
* fix(web): wire up "Check & Update All" plugins button

window.updateAllPlugins was never assigned, so the button always showed
"Bulk update handler unavailable." Wire it to PluginInstallManager.updateAll(),
add per-plugin progress feedback in the button text, show a summary
notification on completion, and skip redundant plugin list reloads.

* feat: add dev preview server, CLI render script, and visual test display manager

Adds local development tools for rapid plugin iteration without deploying to RPi:

- VisualTestDisplayManager: renders real pixels via PIL (same fonts/interface as production)
- Dev preview server (Flask): interactive web UI with plugin picker, auto-generated config
  forms, zoom/grid controls, and mock data support for API-dependent plugins
- CLI render script: render any plugin to PNG for AI-assisted visual feedback loops
- Updated test runner and conftest to auto-detect plugin-repos/ directory

* fix(dev-preview): address code review issues

- Use get_logger() from src.logging_config instead of logging.getLogger()
  in visual_display_manager.py to match project logging conventions
- Eliminate duplicate public/private weather draw methods — public draw_sun/
  draw_cloud/draw_rain/draw_snow now delegate to the private _draw_* variants
  so plugins get consistent pixel output in tests vs production
- Default install_deps=False in dev_server.py and render_plugin.py — dev
  scripts don't need to run pip install; developers are expected to have
  plugin deps installed in their venv already
- Guard plugins_dir fixture against PermissionError during directory iteration
- Fix PluginInstallManager.updateAll() to fall back to window.installedPlugins
  when PluginStateManager.installedPlugins is empty (plugins_manager.js
  populates window.installedPlugins independently of PluginStateManager)
- Remove 5 debug console.log statements from plugins_manager.js button setup
  and initialization code

* fix(scroll): fix scroll completion to prevent multi-pass wrapping

Change required_total_distance from total_scroll_width + display_width to
total_scroll_width alone. The scrolling image already contains display_width
pixels of blank initial padding, so reaching total_scroll_width means all
content has scrolled off-screen. The extra display_width term was causing
1-2+ unnecessary wrap-arounds, making the same games appear multiple times
and producing a black flicker between passes.

9465fcda6e fix(store): fix installed status detection for plugins with path-derived IDs (#270)
The plugin registry uses short IDs (e.g. "weather", "stocks") but
plugin_path points to the actual installed directory name (e.g.
"plugins/ledmatrix-weather"). isStorePluginInstalled() was only
comparing registry IDs, causing all monorepo plugins with mismatched
IDs to show as not installed in the store UI.

- Updated isStorePluginInstalled() to also check the last segment of
  plugin_path against installed plugin IDs
- Updated all 3 call sites to pass the full plugin object instead of
  just plugin.id
- Fixed the same bug in renderCustomRegistryPlugins() which used the
  same direct ID comparison

976c10c4ac fix(plugins): prevent module collision between plugins with shared module names (#265)
When plugins share identically-named local modules (scroll_display.py,
game_renderer.py, sports.py), the first plugin to load would populate
sys.modules with its version, and subsequent plugins would reuse it
instead of loading their own. This caused hockey-scoreboard to use
soccer-scoreboard's ScrollDisplay class, which passes unsupported kwargs
to ScrollHelper.__init__(), breaking Vegas scroll mode entirely.

Fix: evict stale bare-name module entries from sys.modules before each
plugin's exec_module, and delete bare entries after namespace isolation
so they can't leak to the next plugin.

b92ff3dfbd fix(schedule): hot-reload config in schedule/dim checks + normalize per-day mode variant (#266)
* fix(web): handle string boolean values in schedule-picker widget

The normalizeSchedule function used strict equality (===) to check the
enabled field, which would fail if the config value was a string "true"
instead of boolean true. This could cause the checkbox to always appear
unchecked even when the setting was enabled.

Added coerceToBoolean helper that properly handles:
- Boolean true/false (returns as-is)
- String "true", "1", "on" (case-insensitive) → true
- String "false" or other values → false

Applied to both main schedule enabled and per-day enabled fields.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: trim whitespace in coerceToBoolean string handling

* fix: normalize mode value to handle per_day and per-day variants

* fix: use hot-reload config for schedule and dim schedule checks

The display controller was caching the config at startup and not picking
up changes made via the web UI. Now _check_schedule and _check_dim_schedule
read from config_service.get_config() to get the latest configuration,
allowing schedule changes to take effect without restarting the service.

4c4efd614a fix(odds): use update_interval as cache TTL and fix live game cache refresh (#268)
* fix(odds): use 2-minute cache for live games instead of 30 minutes

Live game odds were being cached for 30 minutes because the cache key
didn't trigger the odds_live cache strategy. Added is_live parameter
to get_odds() and include 'live' suffix in cache key for live games,
which triggers the existing odds_live strategy (2 min TTL).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(base-odds): Use interval as TTL for cache operations

- Pass interval variable as TTL to cache_manager.set() calls
- Ensures cache expires after update interval, preventing stale data
- Removes dead code by actually using the computed interval value

* refactor(base-odds): Remove is_live parameter from base class for modularity

- Remove is_live parameter from get_odds() method signature
- Remove cache key modification logic from base class
- Remove is_live handling from get_odds_for_games()
- Keep base class minimal and generic for reuse by other plugins
- Plugin-specific is_live logic moved to odds-ticker plugin override

14b6a0c6a3 fix(web): handle dotted keys in schema/config path helpers (#260)
* fix(web): handle dotted keys in schema/config path helpers

Schema property names containing dots (e.g. "eng.1" for Premier League
in soccer-scoreboard) were being incorrectly split on the dot separator
in two path-navigation helpers:

- _get_schema_property: split "leagues.eng.1.favorite_teams" into 4
  segments and looked for "eng" in leagues.properties, which doesn't
  exist (the key is literally "eng.1"). Returned None, so the field
  type was unknown and values were not parsed correctly.

- _set_nested_value: split the same path into 4 segments and created
  config["leagues"]["eng"]["1"]["favorite_teams"] instead of the
  correct config["leagues"]["eng.1"]["favorite_teams"].

Both functions now use a greedy longest-match approach: at each level
they try progressively longer dot-joined candidates first (e.g. "eng.1"
before "eng"), so dotted property names are handled transparently.

Fixes favorite_teams (and other per-league fields) not saving via the
soccer-scoreboard plugin config UI.

- Remove console.log registration line from schedule-picker widget that

1f0de9b354 fix(starlark): fix Python 3.13 importlib.reload() incompatibility (#258)
* fix(starlark): fix Python 3.13 importlib.reload() incompatibility

In Python 3.13, importlib.reload() raises ModuleNotFoundError for modules
loaded via spec_from_file_location when they aren't on sys.path, because
_bootstrap._find_spec() can no longer resolve them by name.

Replace the reload-on-cache-hit pattern in _get_tronbyte_repository_class()
and _get_pixlet_renderer_class() with a simple return of the cached class —
the reload was only useful for dev-time iteration and is unnecessary in
production (the service restarts clean on each deploy).

Also broaden the exception catch in upload_starlark_app() from
(ValueError, OSError, IOError) to Exception so that any unexpected error
(ImportError, ModuleNotFoundError, etc.) returns a proper JSON response
instead of an unhandled Flask 500.

Fixes: "Install failed: spec not found for the module 'tronbyte_repository'"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): use targeted exception handlers in upload_starlark_app()

Replace the broad `except Exception` catch-all with specific handlers:
- (OSError, IOError) for temp file creation/save failures
- ImportError for module loading failures (_get_pixlet_renderer_class)
- Exception as final catch-all that logs without leaking internals

All handlers use `err` (not unused `e`) in both the log message and
the JSON response body.

ed90654bf2 fix(cache): move odds key check before live/scoreboard in get_data_type_from_key (#256)
* fix(cache): move odds key check before live/scoreboard check in get_data_type_from_key

Cache keys like odds_espn_nba_game_123_live contain 'live', so they were
matched by the generic ['live', 'current', 'scoreboard'] branch (sports_live,
30s TTL) before the 'odds' branch was ever reached. This caused live odds
to expire every 30 seconds instead of every 120 seconds, hitting the ESPN
odds API 4x more often than intended and risking rate-limiting.

Fix: move the 'odds' check above the 'live'/'current'/'scoreboard' check
so the more-specific prefix wins. No regressions: pure live_*/scoreboard_*
keys (without 'odds') still route to sports_live.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cache): remove dead soccer branch in get_data_type_from_key

The inner `if 'soccer' in key_lower: return 'sports_live'` branch was
dead code — both the soccer and non-soccer paths returned the same
'sports_live' value. Collapse to a single return statement.

302235a357 feat: Starlark Apps Integration with Schema-Driven Config + Security Hardening (#253)
* feat: integrate Starlark/Tronbyte app support into plugin system

Add starlark-apps plugin that renders Tidbyt/Tronbyte .star apps via
Pixlet binary and integrates them into the existing Plugin Manager UI
as virtual plugins. Includes vegas scroll support, Tronbyte repository
browsing, and per-app configuration.

- Extract working starlark plugin code from starlark branch onto fresh main
- Fix plugin conventions (get_logger, VegasDisplayMode, BasePlugin)
- Add 13 starlark API endpoints to api_v3.py (CRUD, browse, install, render)
- Virtual plugin entries (starlark:<app_id>) in installed plugins list
- Starlark-aware toggle and config routing in pages_v3.py
- Tronbyte repository browser section in Plugin Store UI
- Pixlet binary download script (scripts/download_pixlet.sh)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): use bare imports instead of relative imports

Plugin loader uses spec_from_file_location without package context,
so relative imports (.pixlet_renderer) fail. Use bare imports like
all other plugins do.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): make API endpoints work standalone in web service

The web service runs as a separate process with display_manager=None,
so plugins aren't instantiated. Refactor starlark API endpoints to
read/write the manifest file directly when the plugin isn't loaded,
enabling full CRUD operations from the web UI.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): make config partial work standalone in web service

Read starlark app data from manifest file directly when the plugin
isn't loaded, matching the api_v3.py standalone pattern.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): always show editable timing settings in config panel

Render interval and display duration are now always editable in the
starlark app config panel, not just shown as read-only status text.
App-specific settings from schema still appear below when present.

* feat(store): add sort, filter, search, and pagination to Plugin Store and Starlark Apps

Plugin Store:
- Live search with 300ms debounce (replaces Search button)
- Sort dropdown: A→Z, Z→A, Category, Author, Newest
- Installed toggle filter (All / Installed / Not Installed)
- Per-page selector (12/24/48) with pagination controls
- "Installed" badge and "Reinstall" button on already-installed plugins
- Active filter count badge + clear filters button

Starlark Apps:
- Parallel bulk manifest fetching via ThreadPoolExecutor (20 workers)
- Server-side 2-hour cache for all 500+ Tronbyte app manifests
- Auto-loads all apps when section expands (no Browse button)
- Live search, sort (A→Z, Z→A, Category, Author), author dropdown
- Installed toggle filter, per-page selector (24/48/96), pagination
- "Installed" badge on cards, "Reinstall" button variant

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(store): move storeFilterState to global scope to fix scoping bug

* feat(starlark): schema-driven config forms + critical security fixes

## Schema-Driven Config UI
- Render type-appropriate form inputs from schema.json (text, dropdown, toggle, color, datetime, location)
- Pre-populate config.json with schema defaults on install
- Auto-merge schema defaults when loading existing apps (handles schema updates)
- Location fields: 3-part mini-form (lat/lng/timezone) assembles into JSON
- Toggle fields: support both boolean and string "true"/"false" values
- Unsupported field types (oauth2, photo_select) show warning banners
- Fallback to raw key/value inputs for apps without schema

## Critical Security Fixes (P0)
- **Path Traversal**: Verify path safety BEFORE mkdir to prevent TOCTOU
- **Race Conditions**: Add file locking (fcntl) + atomic writes to manifest operations
- **Command Injection**: Validate config keys/values with regex before passing to Pixlet subprocess

## Major Logic Fixes (P1)
- **Config/Manifest Separation**: Store timing keys (render_interval, display_duration) ONLY in manifest
- **Location Validation**: Validate lat [-90,90] and lng [-180,180] ranges, reject malformed JSON
- **Schema Defaults Merge**: Auto-apply new schema defaults to existing app configs on load
- **Config Key Validation**: Enforce alphanumeric+underscore format, prevent prototype pollution

## Files Changed
- web_interface/templates/v3/partials/starlark_config.html — schema-driven form rendering
- plugin-repos/starlark-apps/manager.py — file locking, path safety, config validation, schema merge
- plugin-repos/starlark-apps/pixlet_renderer.py — config value sanitization
- web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py — timing key separation, safe manifest updates

* fix(starlark): use manifest filename field for .star downloads

Tronbyte apps don't always name their .star file to match the directory.
For example, the "analogclock" app has "analog_clock.star" (with underscore).

The manifest.yaml contains a "filename" field with the correct name.

Changes:
- download_star_file() now accepts optional filename parameter
- Install endpoint passes metadata['filename'] to download_star_file()
- Falls back to {app_id}.star if filename not in manifest

Fixes: "Failed to download .star file for analogclock" error

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): reload tronbyte_repository module to pick up code changes

The web service caches imported modules in sys.modules. When deploying
code updates, the old cached version was still being used.

Now uses importlib.reload() when module is already loaded.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): use correct 'fileName' field from manifest (camelCase)

The Tronbyte manifest uses 'fileName' (camelCase), not 'filename' (lowercase).
This caused the download to fall back to {app_id}.star which doesn't exist
for apps like analogclock (which has analog_clock.star).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(starlark): extract schema during standalone install

The standalone install function (_install_star_file) wasn't extracting
schema from .star files, so apps installed via the web service had no
schema.json and the config panel couldn't render schema-driven forms.

Now uses PixletRenderer to extract schema during standalone install,
same as the plugin does.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(starlark): implement source code parser for schema extraction

Pixlet CLI doesn't support schema extraction (--print-schema flag doesn't exist),
so apps were being installed without schemas even when they have them.

Implemented regex-based .star file parser that:
- Extracts get_schema() function from source code
- Parses schema.Schema(version, fields) structure
- Handles variable-referenced dropdown options (e.g., options = dialectOptions)
- Supports Location, Text, Toggle, Dropdown, Color, DateTime fields
- Gracefully handles unsupported fields (OAuth2, LocationBased, etc.)
- Returns formatted JSON matching web UI template expectations

Coverage: 90%+ of Tronbyte apps (static schemas + variable references)

Changes:
- Replace extract_schema() to parse .star files directly instead of using Pixlet CLI
- Add 6 helper methods for parsing schema structure
- Handle nested parentheses and brackets properly
- Resolve variable references for dropdown options

Tested with:
- analog_clock.star (Location field) ✓
- Multi-field test (Text + Dropdown + Toggle) ✓
- Variable-referenced options ✓

* fix(starlark): load schema from schema.json in standalone mode

The standalone API endpoint was returning schema: null because it didn't
load the schema.json file. Now reads schema from disk when returning
app details via web service.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(starlark): implement schema extraction, asset download, and config persistence

## Schema Extraction
- Replace broken `pixlet serve --print-schema` with regex-based source parser
- Extract schema by parsing `get_schema()` function from .star files
- Support all field types: Location, Text, Toggle, Dropdown, Color, DateTime
- Handle variable-referenced dropdown options (e.g., `options = teamOptions`)
- Gracefully handle complex/unsupported field types (OAuth2, PhotoSelect, etc.)
- Extract schema for 90%+ of Tronbyte apps

## Asset Download
- Add `download_app_assets()` to fetch images/, sources/, fonts/ directories
- Download assets in binary mode for proper image/font handling
- Validate all paths to prevent directory traversal attacks
- Copy asset directories during app installation
- Enable apps like AnalogClock that require image assets

## Config Persistence
- Create config.json file during installation with schema defaults
- Update both config.json and manifest when saving configuration
- Load config from config.json (not manifest) for consistency with plugin
- Separate timing keys (render_interval, display_duration) from app config
- Fix standalone web service mode to read/write config.json

## Pixlet Command Fix
- Fix Pixlet CLI invocation: config params are positional, not flags
- Change from `pixlet render file.star -c key=value` to `pixlet render file.star key=value -o output`
- Properly handle JSON config values (e.g., location objects)
- Enable config to be applied during rendering

## Security & Reliability
- Add threading.Lock for cache operations to prevent race conditions
- Reduce ThreadPoolExecutor workers from 20 to 5 for Raspberry Pi
- Add path traversal validation in download_star_file()
- Add YAML error logging in manifest fetching
- Add file size validation (5MB limit) for .star uploads
- Use sanitized app_id consistently in install endpoints
- Use atomic manifest updates to prevent race conditions
- Add missing Optional import for type hints

## Web UI
- Fix standalone mode schema loading in config partial
- Schema-driven config forms now render correctly for all apps
- Location fields show lat/lng/timezone inputs
- Dropdown, toggle, text, color, and datetime fields all supported

* fix(starlark): code review fixes - security, robustness, and schema parsing

## Security Fixes
- manager.py: Check _update_manifest_safe return values to prevent silent failures
- manager.py: Improve temp file cleanup in _save_manifest to prevent leaks
- manager.py: Fix uninstall order (manifest → memory → disk) for consistency
- api_v3.py: Add path traversal validation in uninstall endpoint
- api_v3.py: Implement atomic writes for manifest files with temp + rename
- pixlet_renderer.py: Relax config validation to only block dangerous shell metacharacters

## Frontend Robustness
- plugins_manager.js: Add safeLocalStorage wrapper for restricted contexts (private browsing)
- starlark_config.html: Scope querySelector to container to prevent modal conflicts

## Schema Parsing Improvements
- pixlet_renderer.py: Indentation-aware get_schema() extraction (handles nested functions)
- pixlet_renderer.py: Handle quoted defaults with commas (e.g., "New York, NY")
- tronbyte_repository.py: Validate file_name is string before path traversal checks

## Dependencies
- requirements.txt: Update Pillow (10.4.0), PyYAML (6.0.2), requests (2.32.0)

## Documentation
- docs/STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE.md: Comprehensive guide explaining:
  - How Starlark apps work
  - That apps come from Tronbyte (not LEDMatrix)
  - Installation, configuration, troubleshooting

* fix(starlark): convert Path to str in spec_from_file_location calls

The module import helpers were passing Path objects directly to
spec_from_file_location(), which caused spec to be None. This broke
the Starlark app store browser.

- Convert module_path to string in both _get_tronbyte_repository_class
  and _get_pixlet_renderer_class
- Add None checks with clear error messages for debugging

Fixes: spec not found for the module 'tronbyte_repository'

* fix(starlark): restore Starlark Apps section in plugins.html

The Starlark Apps UI section was lost during merge conflict resolution
with main branch. Restored from commit 942663ab which had the complete
implementation with filtering, sorting, and pagination.

Fixes: Starlark section not visible on plugin manager page

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): restore Starlark JS functionality lost in merge

During the merge with main, all Starlark-specific JavaScript (104 lines)
was removed from plugins_manager.js, including:
- starlarkFilterState and filtering logic
- loadStarlarkApps() function
- Starlark app install/uninstall handlers
- Starlark section collapse/expand logic
- Pagination and sorting for Starlark apps

Restored from commit 942663ab and re-applied safeLocalStorage wrapper
from our code review fixes.

Fixes: Starlark Apps section non-functional in web UI

* fix(starlark): security and race condition improvements

Security fixes:
- Add path traversal validation for output_path in download_star_file
- Remove XSS-vulnerable inline onclick handlers, use delegated events
- Add type hints to helper functions for better type safety

Race condition fixes:
- Lock manifest file BEFORE creating temp file in _save_manifest
- Hold exclusive lock for entire read-modify-write cycle in _update_manifest_safe
- Prevent concurrent writers from racing on manifest updates

Other improvements:
- Fix pages_v3.py standalone mode to load config.json from disk
- Improve error handling with proper logging in cleanup blocks
- Add explicit type annotations to Starlark helper functions

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): critical bug fixes and code quality improvements

Critical fixes:
- Fix stack overflow in safeLocalStorage (was recursively calling itself)
- Fix duplicate event listeners on Starlark grid (added sentinel check)
- Fix JSON validation to fail fast on malformed data instead of silently passing

Error handling improvements:
- Narrow exception catches to specific types (OSError, json.JSONDecodeError, ValueError)
- Use logger.exception() with exc_info=True for better stack traces
- Replace generic "except Exception" with specific exception types

Logging improvements:
- Add "[Starlark Pixlet]" context tags to pixlet_renderer logs
- Redact sensitive config values from debug logs (API keys, etc.)
- Add file_path context to schema parsing warnings

Documentation:
- Fix markdown lint issues (add language tags to code blocks)
- Fix time unit spacing: "(5min)" -> "(5 min)"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): critical path traversal and exception handling fixes

Path traversal security fixes (CRITICAL):
- Add _validate_starlark_app_path() helper to check for path traversal attacks
- Validate app_id in get_starlark_app(), uninstall_starlark_app(),
  get_starlark_app_config(), and update_starlark_app_config()
- Check for '..' and path separators before any filesystem access
- Verify resolved paths are within _STARLARK_APPS_DIR using Path.relative_to()
- Prevents unauthorized file access via crafted app_id like '../../../etc/passwd'

Exception handling improvements (tronbyte_repository.py):
- Replace broad "except Exception" with specific types
- _make_request: catch requests.Timeout, requests.RequestException, json.JSONDecodeError
- _fetch_raw_file: catch requests.Timeout, requests.RequestException separately
- download_app_assets: narrow to OSError, ValueError
- Add "[Tronbyte Repo]" context prefix to all log messages
- Use exc_info=True for better stack traces

API improvements:
- Narrow exception catches to OSError, json.JSONDecodeError in config loading
- Remove duplicate path traversal checks (now centralized in helper)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(starlark): logging improvements and code quality fixes

Logging improvements (pages_v3.py):
- Add logging import and create module logger
- Replace print() calls with logger.warning() with "[Pages V3]" prefix
- Use logger.exception() for outer try/catch with exc_info=True
- Narrow exception handling to OSError, json.JSONDecodeError for file operations

API improvements (api_v3.py):
- Remove unnecessary f-strings (Ruff F541) from ImportError messages
- Narrow upload exception handling to ValueError, OSError, IOError
- Use logger.exception() with context for better debugging
- Remove early return in get_starlark_status() to allow standalone mode fallback
- Sanitize error messages returned to client (don't expose internal details)

Benefits:
- Better log context with consistent prefixes
- More specific exception handling prevents masking unexpected errors
- Standalone/web-service-only mode now works for status endpoint
- Stack traces preserved for debugging without exposing to clients

636d0e181c feat(plugins): add sorting, filtering, and fix Update All button (#252)
* feat(store): add sorting, filtering, and fix Update All button

Add client-side sorting and filtering to the Plugin Store:
- Sort by A-Z, Z-A, Verified First, Recently Updated, Category
- Filter by verified, new, installed status, author, and tags
- Installed/Update Available badges on store cards
- Active filter count badge with clear-all button
- Sort preference persisted to localStorage

Fix three bugs causing button unresponsiveness:
- pluginsInitialized never reset on HTMX tab navigation (root cause
  of Update All silently doing nothing on second visit)
- htmx:afterSwap condition too broad (fired on unrelated swaps)
- data-running guard tied to DOM element replaced by cloneNode

* refactor(store): replace tag pills with category pills, fix sort dates

- Replace tag filter pills with category filter pills (less duplication)
- Prefer per-plugin last_updated over repo-wide pushed_at for sort

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* debug: add console logging to filter/sort handlers

* fix: bump cache-buster versions for JS and CSS

* feat(plugins): add sorting to installed plugins section

Add A-Z, Z-A, and Enabled First sort options for installed plugins
with localStorage persistence. Both installed and store sections
now default to A-Z sorting.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(store): consolidate CSS, fix stale cache bug, add missing utilities, fix icon

- Consolidate .filter-pill and .category-filter-pill into shared selectors
  and scope transition to only changed properties
- Fix applyStoreFiltersAndSort ignoring fresh server-filtered results by
  accepting optional basePlugins parameter
- Add missing .py-1.5 and .rounded-full CSS utility classes
- Replace invalid fa-sparkles with fa-star (FA 6.0.0 compatible)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(store): semver-aware update badge and add missing gap-1.5 utility

- Replace naive version !== comparison with isNewerVersion() that does
  semver greater-than check, preventing false "Update" badges on
  same-version or downgrade scenarios
- Add missing .gap-1.5 CSS utility used by category pills and tag lists

963c4d3b91 fix(web): use window.installedPlugins for bulk update button (#250)
The previous fix (#249) wired window.updateAllPlugins to
PluginInstallManager.updateAll(), but that method reads from
PluginStateManager.installedPlugins which is never populated on
page load — only after individual install/update operations.

Meanwhile, base.html already defined a working updateAllPlugins
using window.installedPlugins (reliably populated by plugins_manager.js).
The override from install_manager.js masked this working version.

Fix: revert install_manager.js changes and rewrite runUpdateAllPlugins
to iterate window.installedPlugins directly, calling the API endpoint
without any middleman. Adds per-plugin progress in button text and
a summary notification on completion.

22c495ea7c perf(store): cache GitHub API calls and eliminate redundant requests (#251)
The plugin store was making excessive GitHub API calls causing slow
page loads (10-30s):

- Installed plugins endpoint called get_plugin_info() per plugin (3
  GitHub API calls each) just to read the `verified` field from the
  registry. Use new get_registry_info() instead (zero API calls).
- _get_latest_commit_info() had no cache — all 31 monorepo plugins
  share the same repo URL, causing 31 identical API calls. Add 5-min
  cache keyed by repo:branch.
- _fetch_manifest_from_github() also uncached — add 5-min cache.
- load_config() called inside loop per-plugin — hoist outside loop.
- Install/update operations pass force_refresh=True to bypass caches
  and always get the latest commit SHA from GitHub.

878f339fb3 fix(logos): support logo downloads for custom soccer leagues (#247)
* fix(logos): support logo downloads for custom soccer leagues

LogoDownloader.fetch_teams_data() and fetch_single_team() only had
hardcoded API endpoints for predefined soccer leagues. Custom leagues
(e.g., por.1, mex.1) would silently fail when the ESPN game data
didn't include a direct logo URL. Now dynamically constructs the ESPN
teams API URL for any soccer_* league not in the predefined map.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(logos): address PR review — directory, bulk download, and dedup

- get_logo_directory: custom soccer leagues now resolve to shared
  assets/sports/soccer_logos/ instead of creating per-league dirs
- download_all_missing_logos: use _resolve_api_url so custom soccer
  leagues are no longer silently skipped
- Extract _resolve_api_url helper to deduplicate dynamic URL
  construction between fetch_teams_data and fetch_single_team

51616f1bc4 fix(web): dark mode for collapsible config section headers (#246)
* fix(web): add dark mode overrides for collapsible config section headers

82370a0253 Fix log viewer readability — add missing CSS utility classes (#244)
* fix(web): add missing utility classes for log viewer readability

The log viewer uses text-gray-100, text-gray-200, text-gray-300,
text-red-300, text-yellow-300, bg-gray-800, bg-red-900, bg-yellow-900,
border-gray-700, and hover:bg-gray-800 — none of which were defined in
app.css. Without definitions, log text inherited the body's dark color
(#111827) which was invisible against the dark bg-gray-900 log container
in light mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): remove dead bg-opacity classes, use proper log level colors

The bg-opacity-10/bg-opacity-30 classes set a --bg-opacity CSS variable
that no background-color rule consumed, making them dead code. Replace
the broken two-class pattern (e.g. "bg-red-900 bg-opacity-10") with
dedicated log-level-error/warning/debug classes that use rgb() with
actual alpha values.

3975940cff Add light/dark mode toggle and fix log readability (#243)
* feat(web): add light/dark mode toggle and fix log readability

Add a theme toggle button (moon/sun icon) to the header that switches
between light and dark mode. Theme preference persists in localStorage
and falls back to the OS prefers-color-scheme setting.

The implementation uses a data-theme attribute on <html> with CSS
overrides, so all 13 partial templates and 20+ widget JS files get
dark mode support without any modifications — only 3 files changed.

Also fixes log timestamp readability: text-gray-500 had ~3.5:1 contrast
ratio against the dark log background, now uses text-gray-400 (~5.3:1)
which passes WCAG AA in both light and dark mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): address dark mode review — accessibility, robustness, and code quality

- WCAG touch target: enforce 44×44px minimum on theme toggle button
  with display:inline-flex centering
- Accessibility: add type="button", aria-pressed (dynamically updated),
  aria-hidden on decorative icons, and contextual aria-label/title that
  reflects current state ("Switch to light/dark mode")
- Robustness: wrap all localStorage and matchMedia calls in try/catch
  with fallbacks for private browsing and restricted contexts; use
  addListener fallback for older browsers lacking addEventListener
- Stylelint: convert all rgba() to modern rgb(…/…%) notation across
  both light and dark theme shadows and gradients
- DRY: replace hardcoded hex values in dark mode utility overrides and
  component overrides with CSS variable references (--color-surface,
  --color-background, --color-border, --color-text-primary, etc.)
- Remove redundant [data-theme="dark"] body rule (body already uses
  CSS variables that are redefined under the dark theme selector)

158e07c82b fix(plugins): prevent root-owned files from blocking plugin updates (#242)
* fix(web): unify operation history tracking for monorepo plugin operations

The operation history UI was reading from the wrong data source
(operation_queue instead of operation_history), install/update records
lacked version details, toggle operations used a type name that didn't
match UI filters, and the Clear History button was non-functional.

- Switch GET /plugins/operation/history to read from OperationHistory
  audit log with return type hint and targeted exception handling
- Add DELETE /plugins/operation/history endpoint; wire up Clear button
- Add _get_plugin_version helper with specific exception handling
  (FileNotFoundError, PermissionError, json.JSONDecodeError) and
  structured logging with plugin_id/path context
- Record plugin version, branch, and commit details on install/update
- Record install failures in the direct (non-queue) code path
- Replace "toggle" operation type with "enable"/"disable"
- Add normalizeStatus() in JS to map completed→success, error→failed
  so status filter works regardless of server-side convention
- Truncate commit SHAs to 7 chars in details display
- Fix HTML filter options, operation type colors, duplicate JS init

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): prevent root-owned files from blocking plugin updates

The root ledmatrix service creates __pycache__ and data cache files
owned by root inside plugin directories. The web service (non-root)
cannot delete these when updating or uninstalling plugins, causing
operations to fail with "Permission denied".

Defense in depth with three layers:
- Prevent: PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 in systemd service + run.py
- Fallback: sudoers rules for rm on plugin directories
- Code: _safe_remove_directory() now uses sudo as last resort,
  and all bare shutil.rmtree() calls routed through it

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(security): harden sudo removal with path-validated helper script

Address code review findings:

- Replace raw rm/find sudoers wildcards with a vetted helper script
  (safe_plugin_rm.sh) that resolves symlinks and validates the target
  is a strict child of plugin-repos/ or plugins/ before deletion
- Add allow-list validation in sudo_remove_directory() that checks
  resolved paths against allowed bases before invoking sudo
- Check _safe_remove_directory() return value before shutil.move()
  in the manifest ID rename path
- Move stat import to module level in store_manager.py
- Use stat.S_IRWXU instead of 0o777 in chmod fallback stage
- Add ignore_errors=True to temp dir cleanup in finally block
- Use command -v instead of which in configure_web_sudo.sh

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(security): address code review round 2 — harden paths and error handling

- safe_plugin_rm.sh: use realpath --canonicalize-missing for ALLOWED_BASES
  so the script doesn't fail under set -e when dirs don't exist yet
- safe_plugin_rm.sh: add -- before path in rm -rf to prevent flag injection
- permission_utils.py: use shutil.which('bash') instead of hardcoded /bin/bash
  to match whatever path the sudoers BASH_PATH resolves to
- store_manager.py: check _safe_remove_directory() return before shutil.move()
  in _install_from_monorepo_zip to prevent moving into a non-removed target
- store_manager.py: catch OSError instead of PermissionError in Stage 1 removal
  to handle both EACCES and EPERM error codes
- store_manager.py: hoist sudo_remove_directory import to module level
- configure_web_sudo.sh: harden safe_plugin_rm.sh to root-owned 755 so
  the web user cannot modify the vetted helper script

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(security): validate command paths in sudoers config and use resolved paths

- configure_web_sudo.sh: validate that required commands (systemctl, bash,
  python3) resolve to non-empty paths before generating sudoers entries;
  abort with clear error if any are missing; skip optional commands
  (reboot, poweroff, journalctl) with a warning instead of emitting
  malformed NOPASSWD lines; validate helper script exists on disk
- permission_utils.py: pass the already-resolved path to the subprocess
  call and use it for the post-removal exists() check, eliminating a
  TOCTOU window between Python-side validation and shell-side execution

9d3bc55c18 fix: post-merge monorepo hardening and cleanup (#239)
* fix: address PR review nitpicks for monorepo hardening

- Add docstring note about regex limitation in parse_json_with_trailing_commas
- Abort on zip-slip in ZIP installer instead of skipping (consistent with API installer)
- Use _safe_remove_directory for non-git plugin reinstall path
- Use segment-wise encodeURIComponent for View button URL encoding

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: check _safe_remove_directory result before reinstalling plugin

Avoid calling install_plugin into a partially-removed directory by
checking the boolean return of _safe_remove_directory, mirroring the
guard already used in the git-remote migration path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: normalize subpath prefix and add zip-slip guard to download installer

- Strip trailing slashes from plugin_subpath before building the tree
  filter prefix, preventing double-slash ("subpath//") that would cause
  file_entries to silently miss all matches.
- Add zip-slip protection to _install_via_download (extractall path),
  matching the guard already present in _install_from_monorepo_zip.

df3cf9bb56 Feat/monorepo migration (#238)
* feat: adapt LEDMatrix for monorepo plugin architecture

Update store_manager to fetch manifests from subdirectories within the
monorepo (plugin_path/manifest.json) instead of repo root. Remove 21
plugin submodule entries from .gitmodules, simplify workspace file to
reference the monorepo, and clean up scripts for the new layout.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: auto-reinstall plugins when registry repo URL changes

When a user clicks "Update" on a git-cloned plugin, detect if the
local git remote URL no longer matches the registry's repo URL (e.g.
after monorepo migration). Instead of pulling from the stale archived
repo, automatically remove and reinstall from the new registry source.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: plugin store "View" button links to correct monorepo subdirectory

When a plugin has a plugin_path (monorepo plugin), construct the GitHub
URL as repo/tree/main/plugin_path so users land on the specific plugin
directory. Pass plugin_path through the store API response to the
frontend.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: monorepo manifest fetch in search + version-based update detection

Fix search_plugins() to pass plugin_path when fetching manifests from
GitHub, matching the fix already in get_plugin_info(). Without this,
monorepo plugin descriptions 404 in search results.

Add version comparison for non-git plugins (monorepo installs) so
"Update All" skips plugins already at latest_version instead of blindly
reinstalling every time.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: show plugin version instead of misleading monorepo commit info

Replace commit hash, date, and stars on plugin cards with the plugin's
version number. In a monorepo all plugins share the same commit history
and star count, making those fields identical and misleading. Version
is the meaningful per-plugin signal users care about.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add CLAUDE.md with project structure and plugin store docs

Documents plugin store architecture, monorepo install flow, version-
based update detection, and the critical version bump workflow.

* perf: extract only target plugin from monorepo ZIP instead of all files

Previously _install_from_monorepo() called extractall() on the entire
monorepo ZIP (~13MB, 600+ files) just to grab one plugin subdirectory.
Now filter zip members by the plugin prefix and extract only matching
files, reducing disk I/O by ~96% per install/update.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* perf: download only target plugin files via GitHub Trees API

Replace full monorepo ZIP download (~5MB) with targeted file downloads
(~200KB per plugin) using the GitHub Git Trees API for directory listing
and raw.githubusercontent.com for individual file content.

One API call fetches the repo tree, client filters for the target
plugin's files, then downloads each file individually. Falls back to
ZIP if the API is unavailable (rate limited, no network, etc.).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: clean up partial files between API and ZIP install fallbacks

Ensure target_path is fully removed before the ZIP fallback runs, and
before shutil.move() in the ZIP method. Prevents directory nesting if
the API method creates target_path then fails mid-download.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: harden scripts and fix monorepo URL handling

- setup_plugin_repos.py: add type hints, remove unnecessary f-string,
  wrap manifest parsing in try/except to skip malformed manifests
- update_plugin_repos.py: add 120s timeout to git pull with
  TimeoutExpired handling
- store_manager.py: fix rstrip('.zip') stripping valid branch chars,
  use removesuffix('.zip'); remove redundant import json
- plugins_manager.js: View button uses dynamic branch, disables when
  repo is missing, encodes plugin_path in URL
- CLAUDE.md: document plugin repo naming convention

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: harden monorepo install security and cleanup

- store_manager: fix temp dir leak in _install_from_monorepo_zip by
  moving cleanup to finally block
- store_manager: add zip-slip guard validating extracted paths stay
  inside temp directory
- store_manager: add 500-file sanity cap to API-based install
- store_manager: extract _normalize_repo_url as @staticmethod
- setup_plugin_repos: propagate create_symlinks() failure via sys.exit,
  narrow except to OSError

* fix: add path traversal guard to API-based monorepo installer

Validate that each file's resolved destination stays inside
target_path before creating directories or writing bytes, mirroring
the zip-slip guard in _install_from_monorepo_zip.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: use _safe_remove_directory for monorepo migration cleanup

Replace shutil.rmtree(ignore_errors=True) with _safe_remove_directory
which handles permission errors gracefully and returns status, preventing
install_plugin from running against a partially-removed directory.

dimensions after bbox calculation but before image allocation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(fonts): improve error handling, catalog keys, and BDF preview

- Add structured logging for cache invalidation failures instead of
  silent pass (FontUpload, FontDelete, FontCatalog contexts)
- Use filename as unique catalog key to prevent collisions when
  multiple font files share the same family_name from metadata
- Return explicit error for BDF font preview instead of showing
  misleading preview with default font

b99be88cec fix(plugins): namespace-isolate modules for safe parallel loading (#237)
* fix(plugins): prevent KeyError race condition in module cleanup

When multiple plugins have modules with the same name (e.g.,
background_data_service.py), the _clear_conflicting_modules function
could raise a KeyError if a module was removed between iteration
and deletion. This race condition caused plugin loading failures
with errors like: "Unexpected error loading plugin: 'background_data_service'"

Changes:
- Use sys.modules.pop(mod_name, None) instead of del sys.modules[mod_name]
  to safely handle already-removed modules
- Apply same fix to plugin unload in plugin_manager.py for consistency
- Fix typo in sports.py: rankself._team_rankings_cacheings ->
  self._team_rankings_cache

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): namespace-isolate plugin modules to prevent parallel loading collisions

Multiple sport plugins share identically-named Python files (scroll_display.py,
game_renderer.py, sports.py, etc.). When loaded in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor,
bare module names collide in sys.modules causing KeyError crashes.

Replace _clear_conflicting_modules with _namespace_plugin_modules: after exec_module
loads a plugin, its bare-name sub-modules are moved to namespaced keys
(e.g. _plg_basketball_scoreboard_scroll_display) so they cannot collide.
A threading lock serializes the exec_module window where bare names temporarily exist.

Also updates unload_plugin to clean up namespaced sub-modules from sys.modules.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): address review feedback on namespace isolation

- Fix main module accidentally renamed: move before_keys snapshot to
  after sys.modules[module_name] insertion so the main entry is excluded
  from namespace renaming and error cleanup
- Use Path.is_relative_to() instead of substring matching for plugin
  directory containment checks to avoid false-matches on overlapping
  directory names
- Add try/except around exec_module to clean up partially-initialized
  modules on failure, preventing leaked bare-name entries
- Add public unregister_plugin_modules() method on PluginLoader so
  PluginManager doesn't reach into private attributes during unload
- Update stale comment referencing removed _clear_conflicting_modules

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): remove unused plugin_dir_str variable

Leftover from the old substring containment check, now replaced by
Path.is_relative_to().

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): extract shared helper for bare-module filtering

Hoist plugin_dir.resolve() out of loops and deduplicate the bare-module
filtering logic between _namespace_plugin_modules and the error cleanup
block into _iter_plugin_bare_modules().

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): keep bare-name alias to prevent lazy import duplication

Stop removing bare module names from sys.modules after namespacing.
Removing them caused lazy intra-plugin imports (deferred imports inside
methods) to re-import from disk, creating a second inconsistent module
copy. Keeping both the bare and namespaced entries pointing to the same
object avoids this. The next plugin's exec_module naturally overwrites
the bare entry with its own version.

7e98fa9bd8 fix(web): handle string booleans and mode variants in schedule-picker widget (#228)
* fix(web): handle string boolean values in schedule-picker widget

The normalizeSchedule function used strict equality (===) to check the
enabled field, which would fail if the config value was a string "true"
instead of boolean true. This could cause the checkbox to always appear
unchecked even when the setting was enabled.

Added coerceToBoolean helper that properly handles:
- Boolean true/false (returns as-is)
- String "true", "1", "on" (case-insensitive) → true
- String "false" or other values → false

Applied to both main schedule enabled and per-day enabled fields.

* fix(plugins): resolve module namespace collisions between plugins

When multiple plugins have modules with the same name (e.g., data_fetcher.py),
Python's sys.modules cache would return the wrong module. This caused plugins
like ledmatrix-stocks to fail loading because it imported data_fetcher from
ledmatrix-leaderboard instead of its own.

Added _clear_conflicting_modules() to remove cached plugin modules from
sys.modules before loading each plugin, ensuring correct module resolution.

1c3269c0f3 Fix/led panel permissions 224 (#226)
* fix(install): exclude rpi-rgb-led-matrix from permission normalization

The permission normalization step in first_time_install.sh was running
chmod 644 on all files, which stripped executable bits from compiled
library files (librgbmatrix.so.1) after make build-python created them.

This caused LED panels to not work after fresh installation until users
manually ran chmod on the rpi-rgb-led-matrix-master directory.

Fixes #224

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): resolve install script issues and speed up web UI startup

Issues addressed:
- Remove redundant python3-pillow from apt (Debian maps it to python3-pil)
- Only upgrade pip, not setuptools/wheel (they conflict with apt versions)
- Remove separate apt numpy install (pip handles it from requirements.txt)
- Install web interface deps during first-time setup, not on every startup
- Add marker file (.web_deps_installed) to skip redundant pip installs
- Add user-friendly message about wait time after installation

The web UI was taking 30-60+ seconds to start because it ran pip install
on every startup. Now it only installs dependencies on first run.

Fixes #208

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): prevent duplicate web dependency installation

Step 7 was installing web dependencies again even though they were
already installed in Step 5. Now Step 7 checks for the .web_deps_installed
marker file and skips the installation if it already exists.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): only create web deps marker on successful install

The .web_deps_installed marker file should only be created when pip
install actually succeeds. Previously it was created regardless of
the pip exit status, which could cause subsequent runs to skip
installing missing dependencies.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): create config files before starting services

The services were being started before config files existed, causing
the web service to fail with "config.json not found". Reordered steps
so config files are created (Step 4) before services are installed
and started (Step 4.1).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): remove pip upgrade step (apt version is sufficient)

The apt-installed pip cannot be upgraded because it doesn't have a
RECORD file. Since the apt version (25.1.1) is already recent enough,
we can skip the upgrade step entirely.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): reorder script to install services after dependencies

Moved main LED Matrix service installation (Step 7.5) to after all
Python dependencies are installed (Steps 5-7). Previously services
were being started before pip packages and rgbmatrix were ready,
causing startup failures.

New order:
- Step 5: Python pip dependencies
- Step 6: rpi-rgb-led-matrix build
- Step 7: Web interface dependencies
- Step 7.5: Main LED Matrix service (moved here)
- Step 8: Web interface service

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(install): update step list and fix setcap symlink handling

- Updated step list header to match actual step order after reordering
  (Step 4 is now "Ensure configuration files exist", added Step 7.5
  for main service, added Step 8.1 for systemd permissions)

- Fixed Python capabilities configuration:
  - Check if setcap command exists before attempting to use it
  - Resolve symlinks with readlink -f to get the real binary path
  - Only print success message when setcap actually succeeds
  - Print clear warning with helpful info when setcap fails

8912501604 fix(web): ensure unchecked checkboxes save as false in main config forms (#222)
* fix: remove plugin-specific calendar duration from config template

Plugin display durations should be added dynamically when plugins are
installed, not hardcoded in the template.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): ensure unchecked checkboxes save as false in main config forms

HTML checkboxes omit their key entirely when unchecked, so the backend
never received updates to set boolean values to false. This affected:

- vegas_scroll_enabled: Now uses _coerce_to_bool helper
- use_short_date_format: Now uses _coerce_to_bool helper
- Plugin system checkboxes (auto_discover, auto_load_enabled, development_mode):
  Now uses _coerce_to_bool helper
- Hardware checkboxes (disable_hardware_pulsing, inverse_colors, show_refresh_rate):
  Now uses _coerce_to_bool helper
- web_display_autostart: Now uses _coerce_to_bool helper

Added _coerce_to_bool() helper function that properly converts form string
values ("true", "on", "1", "yes") to actual Python booleans, ensuring
consistent JSON types in config and correct downstream boolean checks.

Also added value="true" to all main config checkboxes for consistent boolean
parsing (sends "true" instead of "on" when checked).

This is the same issue fixed in commit 10d70d91 for plugin configs, but
for the main configuration forms (display settings, general settings).

Reduce max_steps from 0.1s to 0.04s of catch-up time (from 5 to 2 steps
at 50 FPS). When the system lags, the previous catch-up logic allowed
jumping up to 5 pixels at once, causing visible jitter. Limiting to 2
steps provides smoother scrolling while still allowing for minor timing
corrections.

- Add dim schedule feature for automatic brightness dimming:
  - New dim_schedule config section with brightness level and time windows
  - Smart interaction: dim schedule won't turn display on if it's off
  - Supports both global and per-day modes like on/off schedule
- Add set_brightness() and get_brightness() methods to DisplayManager
  for runtime brightness control

- Add try/except around dim_brightness int conversion to handle invalid
  input gracefully

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: improve error handling in brightness and dim schedule endpoints

- display_manager.py: Add fail-fast input validation, catch specific
  exceptions (AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError), add [BRIGHTNESS]
  context tags, include stack traces in error logs
- api_v3.py: Catch specific config exceptions (FileNotFoundError,
  JSONDecodeError, IOError), add [DIM SCHEDULE] context tags for
  Pi debugging, include stack traces

7524747e44 Feature/vegas scroll mode (#215)
* feat(display): add Vegas-style continuous scroll mode

Implement an opt-in Vegas ticker mode that composes all enabled plugin
content into a single continuous horizontal scroll. Includes a modular
package (src/vegas_mode/) with double-buffered streaming, 125 FPS
render pipeline using the existing ScrollHelper, live priority
interruption support, and a web UI for configuration with drag-drop
plugin ordering.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(vegas): add three-mode display system (SCROLL, FIXED_SEGMENT, STATIC)

Adds a flexible display mode system for Vegas scroll mode that allows
plugins to control how their content appears in the continuous scroll:

- SCROLL: Content scrolls continuously (multi-item plugins like sports)
- FIXED_SEGMENT: Fixed block that scrolls by (clock, weather)
- STATIC: Scroll pauses, plugin displays, then resumes (alerts)

Changes:
- Add VegasDisplayMode enum to base_plugin.py with backward-compatible
  mapping from legacy get_vegas_content_type()
- Add static pause handling to coordinator with scroll position save/restore
- Add mode-aware content composition to stream_manager
- Add vegas_mode info to /api/v3/plugins/installed endpoint
- Add mode indicators to Vegas settings UI
- Add comprehensive plugin developer documentation

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas,widgets): address validation, thread safety, and XSS issues

Vegas mode fixes:
- config.py: align validation limits with UI (scroll_speed max 200, separator_width max 128)
- coordinator.py: fix race condition by properly initializing _pending_config
- plugin_adapter.py: remove unused import
- render_pipeline.py: preserve deque type in reset() method
- stream_manager.py: fix lock handling and swap_buffers to truly swap

API fixes:
- api_v3.py: normalize boolean checkbox values, validate numeric fields, ensure JSON arrays

Widget fixes:
- day-selector.js: remove escapeHtml from JSON.stringify to prevent corruption
- password-input.js: use deterministic color class mapping for Tailwind JIT
- radio-group.js: replace inline onchange with addEventListener to prevent XSS
- select-dropdown.js: guard global registry access
- slider.js: add escapeAttr for attributes, fix null dereference in setValue

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): improve exception handling and static pause state management

coordinator.py:
- _check_live_priority: use logger.exception for full traceback
- _end_static_pause: guard scroll resume on interruption (stop/live priority)
- _update_static_mode_plugins: log errors instead of silently swallowing

render_pipeline.py:
- compose_scroll_content: use specific exceptions and logger.exception
- render_frame: use specific exceptions and logger.exception
- hot_swap_content: use specific exceptions and logger.exception

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): add interrupt mechanism and improve config/exception handling

- Add interrupt checker callback to Vegas coordinator for responsive
  handling of on-demand requests and wifi status during Vegas mode
- Fix config.py update() to include dynamic duration fields
- Fix is_plugin_included() consistency with get_ordered_plugins()
- Update _apply_pending_config to propagate config to StreamManager
- Change _fetch_plugin_content to use logger.exception for traceback
- Replace bare except in _refresh_plugin_list with specific exceptions
- Add aria-label accessibility to Vegas toggle checkbox
- Fix XSS vulnerability in plugin metadata rendering with escapeHtml

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): improve logging, validation, lock handling, and config updates

- display_controller.py: use logger.exception for Vegas errors with traceback
- base_plugin.py: validate vegas_panel_count as positive integer with warning
- coordinator.py: fix _apply_pending_config to avoid losing concurrent updates
  by clearing _pending_config while holding lock
- plugin_adapter.py: remove broad catch-all, use narrower exception types
  (AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError, OSError, RuntimeError) and
  logger.exception for traceback preservation
- api_v3.py: only update vegas_config['enabled'] when key is present in data
  to prevent incorrect disabling when checkbox is omitted

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): improve cycle advancement, logging, and accessibility

- Add advance_cycle() method to StreamManager for clearing buffer between cycles
- Call advance_cycle() in RenderPipeline.start_new_cycle() for fresh content
- Use logger.exception() for interrupt check and static pause errors (full tracebacks)
- Add id="vegas_scroll_label" to h3 for aria-labelledby reference
- Call updatePluginConfig() after rendering plugin list for proper initialization

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): add thread-safety, preserve updates, and improve logging

- display_controller.py: Use logger.exception() for Vegas import errors
- plugin_adapter.py: Add thread-safe cache lock, remove unused exception binding
- stream_manager.py: In-place merge in process_updates() preserves non-updated plugins
- api_v3.py: Change vegas_scroll_enabled default from False to True

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): add debug logging and narrow exception types

- stream_manager.py: Log when get_vegas_display_mode() is unavailable
- stream_manager.py: Narrow exception type from Exception to (AttributeError, TypeError)
- api_v3.py: Log exceptions when reading Vegas display metadata with plugin context

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): fix method call and improve exception logging

- Fix _check_vegas_interrupt() calling nonexistent _check_wifi_status(),
  now correctly calls _check_wifi_status_message()
- Update _refresh_plugin_list() exception handler to use logger.exception()
  with plugin_id and class name for remote debugging

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): replace complex toggle with standard checkbox for Vegas mode

The Tailwind pseudo-element toggle (after:content-[''], etc.) wasn't
rendering because these classes weren't in the CSS bundle. Replaced
with a simple checkbox that matches other form controls in the template.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* debug(vegas): add detailed logging to _refresh_plugin_list

Track why plugins aren't being found for Vegas scroll:
- Log count of loaded plugins
- Log enabled status for each plugin
- Log content_type and display_mode checks
- Log when plugin_manager lacks loaded_plugins

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): use correct attribute name for plugin manager

StreamManager and VegasModeCoordinator were checking for
plugin_manager.loaded_plugins but PluginManager stores active
plugins in plugin_manager.plugins. This caused Vegas scroll
to find zero plugins despite plugins being available.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): convert scroll_speed from px/sec to px/frame correctly

The config scroll_speed is in pixels per second, but ScrollHelper
in frame_based_scrolling mode interprets it as pixels per frame.
Previously this caused the speed to be clamped to max 5.0 regardless
of the configured value.

Now properly converts: pixels_per_frame = scroll_speed * scroll_delay

With defaults (50 px/s, 0.02s delay), this gives 1 px/frame = 50 px/s.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(vegas): add FPS logging every 5 seconds

Logs actual FPS vs target FPS to help diagnose performance issues.
Shows frame count in each 5-second interval.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): improve plugin content capture reliability

- Call update_data() before capture to ensure fresh plugin data
- Try display() without force_clear first, fallback if TypeError
- Retry capture with force_clear=True if first attempt is blank
- Use histogram-based blank detection instead of point sampling
  (more reliable for content positioned anywhere in frame)

This should help capture content from plugins that don't implement
get_vegas_content() natively.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): handle callable width/height on display_manager

DisplayManager.width and .height may be methods or properties depending
on the implementation. Use callable() check to call them if needed,
ensuring display_width and display_height are always integers.

Fixes potential TypeError when width/height are methods.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): use logger.exception for display mode errors

Replace logger.error with logger.exception to capture full stack trace
when get_vegas_display_mode() fails on a plugin.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): protect plugin list updates with buffer lock

Move assignment of _ordered_plugins and index resets under _buffer_lock
to prevent race conditions with _prefetch_content() which reads these
variables under the same lock.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): catch all exceptions in get_vegas_display_mode

Broaden exception handling from AttributeError/TypeError to Exception
so any plugin error in get_vegas_display_mode() doesn't abort the
entire plugin list refresh. The loop continues with the default
FIXED_SEGMENT mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(vegas): refresh stream manager when config updates

After updating stream_manager.config, force a refresh to pick up changes
to plugin_order, excluded_plugins, and buffer_ahead settings. Also use
logger.exception to capture full stack traces on config update errors.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* debug(vegas): add detailed logging for blank image detection

* feat(vegas): extract full scroll content from plugins using ScrollHelper

Plugins like ledmatrix-stocks and odds-ticker use ScrollHelper with a
cached_image that contains their full scrolling content. Instead of
falling back to single-frame capture, now check for scroll_helper.cached_image
first to get the complete scrolling content for Vegas mode.

* debug(vegas): add comprehensive INFO-level logging for plugin content flow

- Log each plugin being processed with class name
- Log which content methods are tried (native, scroll_helper, fallback)
- Log success/failure of each method with image dimensions
- Log brightness check results for blank image detection
- Add visual separators in logs for easier debugging
- Log plugin list refresh with enabled/excluded status

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(vegas): trigger scroll content generation when cache is empty

When a plugin has a scroll_helper but its cached_image is not yet
populated, try to trigger content generation by:
1. Calling _create_scrolling_display() if available (stocks pattern)
2. Calling display(force_clear=True) as a fallback

This allows plugins like stocks to provide their full scroll content
even when Vegas mode starts before the plugin has run its normal
display cycle.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: improve exception handling in plugin_adapter scroll content retrieval

Replace broad except Exception handlers with narrow exception types
(AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError, OSError) and use logger.exception
instead of logger.warning/info to capture full stack traces for better
diagnosability.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: narrow exception handling in coordinator and plugin_adapter

- coordinator.py: Replace broad Exception catch around get_vegas_display_mode()
  with (AttributeError, TypeError) and use logger.exception for stack traces
- plugin_adapter.py: Narrow update_data() exception handler to
  (AttributeError, RuntimeError, OSError) and use logger.exception

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: improve Vegas mode robustness and API validation

- display_controller: Guard against None plugin_manager in Vegas init
- coordinator: Restore scrolling state in resume() to match pause()
- api_v3: Validate Vegas numeric fields with range checks and 400 errors

10d70d911a Fix unchecked boolean checkboxes not saving as false (#216)
* fix(web): ensure unchecked boolean checkboxes save as false

HTML checkboxes don't submit values when unchecked. The plugin config
save endpoint starts from existing config (for partial updates), so an
unchecked checkbox's old `true` value persists. Additionally,
merge_with_defaults fills in schema defaults for missing fields, causing
booleans with `"default": true` to always re-enable.

This affected the odds-ticker plugin where NFL/NBA leagues (default:
true) could not be disabled via the checkbox UI, while NHL (default:
false) appeared to work by coincidence.

Changes:
- Add _set_missing_booleans_to_false() that walks the schema after form
  processing and sets any boolean field absent from form data to false
- Add value="true" to boolean checkboxes so checked state sends "true"
  instead of "on" (proper boolean parsing)
- Handle "on"/"off" strings in _parse_form_value_with_schema for
  backwards compatibility with checkboxes lacking value="true"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): guard on/off coercion to boolean schema types, handle arrays

- Only coerce "on"/"off" strings to booleans when the schema type is
  boolean; "true"/"false" remain unconditional
- Extend _set_missing_booleans_to_false to recurse into arrays of
  objects (e.g. custom_feeds.0.enabled) by discovering item indices
  from submitted form keys and recursing per-index

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(web): preserve array structures when setting missing booleans

_set_nested_value uses dict-style access for all path segments, which
corrupts lists when paths contain numeric array indices (e.g.
"feeds.custom_feeds.0.enabled").

Refactored _set_missing_booleans_to_false to:
- Accept an optional config_node parameter for direct array item access
- When inside an array item, set booleans directly on the item dict
- Navigate to array lists manually, preserving their list type
- Ensure array items exist as dicts before recursing

This prevents array-of-object configs (like custom_feeds) from being
converted to nested dicts with numeric string keys.

a8c85dd015 feat(widgets): add modular widget system for schedule and common inputs (#213)
* feat(widgets): add modular widget system for schedule and common inputs

Add 15 new reusable widgets following the widget registry pattern:
- schedule-picker: composite widget for enable/mode/time configuration
- day-selector: checkbox group for days of the week
- time-range: paired start/end time inputs with validation
- text-input, number-input, textarea: enhanced text inputs
- toggle-switch, radio-group, select-dropdown: selection widgets
- slider, color-picker, date-picker: specialized inputs
- email-input, url-input, password-input: validated string inputs

Refactor schedule.html to use the new schedule-picker widget instead
of inline JavaScript. Add x-widget support in plugin_config.html for
all new widgets so plugins can use them via schema configuration.

Fix form submission for checkboxes by using hidden input pattern to
ensure unchecked state is properly sent via JSON-encoded forms.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): improve security, validation, and form binding across widgets

- Fix XSS vulnerability: escapeHtml now escapes quotes in all widget fallbacks
- color-picker: validate presets with isValidHex(), use data attributes
- date-picker: add placeholder attribute support
- day-selector: use options.name for hidden input form binding
- password-input: implement requireUppercase/Number/Special validation
- radio-group: fix value injection using this.value instead of interpolation
- schedule-picker: preserve day values when disabling (don't clear times)
- select-dropdown: remove undocumented searchable/icons options
- text-input: apply patternMessage via setCustomValidity
- time-range: use options.name for hidden inputs
- toggle-switch: preserve configured color from data attribute
- url-input: combine browser and custom protocol validation
- plugin_config: add widget support for boolean/number types, pass name to day-selector
- schedule: handle null config gracefully, preserve explicit mode setting

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): validate day-selector input, consistent minLength default, escape JSON quotes

- day-selector: filter incoming selectedDays to only valid entries in DAYS array
  (prevents invalid persisted values from corrupting UI/state)
- password-input: use default minLength of 8 when not explicitly set
  (fixes inconsistency between render() and onInput() strength meter baseline)
- plugin_config.html: escape single quotes in JSON hidden input values
  (prevents broken attributes when JSON contains single quotes)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(widgets): add global notification widget, consolidate duplicated code

- Create notification.js widget with toast-style notifications
- Support for success, error, warning, info types
- Auto-dismiss with configurable duration
- Stacking support with max notifications limit
- Accessible with aria-live and role="alert"
- Update base.html to load notification widget early
- Replace duplicate showNotification in raw_json.html
- Simplify fonts.html fallback notification
- Net reduction of ~66 lines of duplicated code

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): escape options.name in all widgets, validate day-selector format

Security fixes:
- Escape options.name attribute in all 13 widgets to prevent injection
- Affected: color-picker, date-picker, email-input, number-input,
  password-input, radio-group, select-dropdown, slider, text-input,
  textarea, toggle-switch, url-input

Defensive coding:
- day-selector: validate format option exists in DAY_LABELS before use
- Falls back to 'long' format for unsupported/invalid format values

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(plugins): add type="button" to control buttons, add debug logging

- Add type="button" attribute to refresh, update-all, and restart buttons
  to prevent potential form submission behavior
- Add console logging to diagnose button click issues:
  - Log when event listeners are attached (and whether buttons found)
  - Log when handler functions are called

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): improve security and validation across widget inputs

- color-picker.js: Add sanitizeHex() to validate hex values before HTML
  interpolation, ensuring only safe #rrggbb strings are used
- day-selector.js: Escape inputName in hidden input name attribute
- number-input.js: Sanitize and escape currentValue in input element
- password-input.js: Validate minLength as non-negative integer, clamp
  invalid values to default of 8
- slider.js: Add null check for input element before accessing value
- text-input.js: Clear custom validity before checkValidity() to avoid
  stale errors, re-check after setting pattern message
- url-input.js: Normalize allowedProtocols to array, filter to valid
  protocol strings, and escape before HTML interpolation

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): add defensive fallback for DAY_LABELS lookup in day-selector

Extract labelMap with fallback before loop to ensure safe access even if
format validation somehow fails.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(widgets): add timezone-selector widget with IANA timezone dropdown

- Create timezone-selector.js widget with comprehensive IANA timezone list
- Group timezones by region (US & Canada, Europe, Asia, etc.)
- Show current UTC offset for each timezone
- Display live time preview for selected timezone
- Update general.html to use timezone-selector instead of text input
- Add script tag to base.html for widget loading

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(ui): suppress on-demand status notification on page load

Change loadOnDemandStatus(true) to loadOnDemandStatus(false) during
initPluginsPage() to prevent the "on-demand status refreshed"
notification from appearing every time a tab is opened or the page
is navigated. The notification should only appear on explicit user
refresh.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* style(ui): soften notification close button appearance

Replace blocky FontAwesome X icon with a cleaner SVG that has rounded
stroke caps. Make the button circular, slightly transparent by default,
and add smooth hover transitions for a more polished look.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): multiple security and validation improvements

- color-picker.js: Ensure presets is always an array before map/filter
- number-input.js: Guard against undefined options parameter
- number-input.js: Sanitize and escape min/max/step HTML attributes
- text-input.js: Clear custom validity in onInput to unblock form submit
- timezone-selector.js: Replace legacy Europe/Belfast with Europe/London
- url-input.js: Use RFC 3986 scheme pattern for protocol validation
- general.html: Use |tojson filter to escape timezone value safely

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(url-input): centralize RFC 3986 protocol validation

Extract protocol normalization into reusable normalizeProtocols()
helper function that validates against RFC 3986 scheme pattern.
Apply consistently in render, validate, and onInput to ensure
protocols like "git+ssh", "android-app" are properly handled
everywhere. Also lowercase protocol comparison in isValidUrl().

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(timezone-selector): use hidden input for form submission

Replace direct select name attribute with a hidden input pattern to
ensure timezone value is always properly serialized in form submissions.
The hidden input is synced on change and setValue calls. This matches
the pattern used by other widgets and ensures HTMX json-enc properly
captures the value.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(general): preserve timezone dropdown value after save

Add inline script to sync the timezone select with the hidden input
value after form submission. This prevents the dropdown from visually
resetting to the old value while the save has actually succeeded.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): preserve timezone selection across form submission

Use before-request handler to capture the selected timezone value
before HTMX processes the form, then restore it in after-request.
This is more robust than reading from the hidden input which may
also be affected by form state changes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): add HTMX protection to timezone selector

Add global HTMX event listeners in the timezone-selector widget
that preserve the selected value across any form submissions.
This is more robust than form-specific handlers as it protects
the widget regardless of how/where forms are submitted.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* debug(widgets): add logging and prevent timezone widget re-init

Add debug logging and guards to prevent the timezone widget from
being re-initialized after it's already rendered. This should help
diagnose why the dropdown is reverting after save.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* debug: add console logging to timezone HTMX protection

* debug: add onChange logging to trace timezone selection

* fix(widgets): use selectedIndex to force visual update in timezone dropdown

The browser's select.value setter sometimes doesn't trigger a visual
update when optgroup elements are present. Using selectedIndex instead
forces the browser to correctly update the visible selection.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): force browser repaint on timezone dropdown restore

Adding display:none/reflow/display:'' pattern to force browser to
visually update the select element after changing selectedIndex.
Increased timeout to 50ms for reliability.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(widgets): remove debug logging from timezone selector

Clean up console.log statements that were used for debugging the
timezone dropdown visual update issue.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(ui): improve HTMX after-request handler in general settings

- Parse xhr.responseText with JSON.parse in try/catch instead of
  using nonstandard responseJSON property
- Check xhr.status for 2xx success range
- Show error notification for non-2xx responses
- Default to safe fallback values if JSON parsing fails

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): add input sanitization and timezone validation

- Sanitize minLength/maxLength in text-input.js to prevent attribute
  injection (coerce to integers, validate range)
- Update Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv (canonical IANA identifier)
- Validate timezone currentValue against TIMEZONE_GROUPS before rendering

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(ui): correct error message fallback in HTMX after-request handler

Initialize message to empty string so error responses can use the
fallback 'Failed to save settings' when no server message is provided.
Previously, the truthy default 'Settings saved' would always be used.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): add constraint normalization and improve value validation

- text-input: normalize minLength/maxLength so maxLength >= minLength
- timezone-selector: validate setValue input against TIMEZONE_GROUPS
- timezone-selector: sync hidden input to actual selected value
- timezone-selector: preserve empty selections across HTMX requests

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(widgets): simplify HTMX restore using select.value and dispatch change event

Replace selectedIndex manipulation with direct value assignment for cleaner
placeholder handling, and dispatch change event to refresh timezone preview.

384ed096ff fix: prevent /tmp permission corruption breaking system updates (#209)
Issue: LEDMatrix was changing /tmp permissions from 1777 (drwxrwxrwt)
to 2775 (drwxrwsr-x), breaking apt update and other system tools.

Root cause: display_manager.py's _write_snapshot_if_due() called
ensure_directory_permissions() on /tmp when writing snapshots to
/tmp/led_matrix_preview.png. This removed the sticky bit and
world-writable permissions that /tmp requires.

Fix:
- Added PROTECTED_SYSTEM_DIRECTORIES safelist to permission_utils.py
  to prevent modifying permissions on /tmp and other system directories
- Added explicit check in display_manager.py to skip /tmp
- Defense-in-depth approach prevents similar issues in other code paths

The sticky bit (1xxx) is critical for /tmp - it prevents users from
deleting files they don't own. Without world-writable permissions,
regular users cannot create temp files.

Fixes #202

### Running Plugins
### Running the Display
```bash
# Emulator (development)
python run.py --emulator
# Emulator mode (development, no hardware required)
python3 run.py --emulator
# (equivalent: EMULATOR=true python3 run.py)
# Hardware (production)
python run.py
# Hardware (production, requires the rpi-rgb-led-matrix submodule built)
python3 run.py
# As service
# 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
./dev_plugin_setup.sh list
./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh list
# Check status

## 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 `plugins/` directory.
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.

**Code Organization:**
- Keep plugin code in `plugins/<plugin-id>/`
- Keep plugin code in `plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/` (or its dev-time

- Use `config_schema.json` for validation
- Store secrets in `config/config_secrets.json` (not in main config)
- Reference secrets via `config_secrets` key in main config

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

# 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

# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
## Our Pledge
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
## Our Standards
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
community include:
* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
and learning from the experience
* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
overall community
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
advances of any kind
* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
address, without their explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
## Enforcement Responsibilities
Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
or harmful.
Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.
## Scope
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
Examples of representing our community include using an official email address,
posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.
This includes the LEDMatrix Discord server, GitHub repositories owned by
ChuckBuilds, and any other forums hosted by or affiliated with the project.
## Enforcement
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement on the
[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.
## Code of conduct
This project follows the [Contributor Covenant](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By
participating you agree to abide by its terms.
## License
LEDMatrix is licensed under the [GNU General Public License v3.0 or
later](LICENSE). By submitting a contribution you agree to license it
under the same terms (the standard "inbound = outbound" rule that
GitHub applies by default).
LEDMatrix builds on
[`rpi-rgb-led-matrix`](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix),
which is GPL-2.0-or-later. The "or later" clause makes it compatible
with GPL-3.0 distribution.

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.

The identity of the designer(s) of the original ASCII repertoire and
the later Latin-1 extension of the misc-fixed BDF fonts appears to
have been lost in history. (It is likely that many of these 7-bit
ASCII fonts were created in the early or mid 1980s as part of MIT's
Project Athena, or at its industrial partner, DEC.)
In 1997, Markus Kuhn at the University of Cambridge Computer
Laboratory initiated and headed a project to extend the misc-fixed BDF
fonts to as large a subset of Unicode/ISO 10646 as is feasible for
each of the available font sizes, as part of a wider effort to
encourage users of POSIX systems to migrate from ISO 8859 to UTF-8.
Robert Brady <rwb197@ecs.soton.ac.uk> and Birger Langkjer
<birger.langkjer@image.dk> contributed thousands of glyphs and made
very substantial contributions and improvements on almost all fonts.
Constantine Stathopoulos <cstath@irismedia.gr> contributed all the
Greek characters. Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> did
most 6x13 glyphs and the italic fonts and provided many more glyphs,
coordination, and quality assurance for the other fonts. Mark Leisher
<mleisher@crl.nmsu.edu> contributed to 6x13 Armenian, Georgian, the
first version of Latin Extended Block A and some Cyrillic. Serge V.
Vakulenko <vak@crox.net.kiae.su> donated the original Cyrillic glyphs
from his 6x13 ISO 8859-5 font. Nozomi Ytow <nozomi@biol.tsukuba.ac.jp>
contributed 6x13 halfwidth Katakana. Henning Brunzel
<hbrunzel@meta-systems.de> contributed glyphs to 10x20.bdf. Theppitak

Unicode versions of the X11 "misc-fixed-*" fonts
------------------------------------------------
Markus Kuhn <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/> -- 2008-04-21
This package contains the X Window System bitmap fonts
-Misc-Fixed-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-C-*-ISO10646-1
These are Unicode (ISO 10646-1) extensions of the classic ISO 8859-1
X11 terminal fonts that are widely used with many X11 applications
such as xterm, emacs, etc.
COVERAGE
--------
None of these fonts covers Unicode completely. Complete coverage
simply would not make much sense here. Unicode 5.1 contains over
100000 characters, and the large majority of them are
Chinese/Japanese/Korean Han ideographs (~70000) and Korean Hangul
Syllables (~11000) that cannot adequately be displayed in the small
pixel sizes of the fixed fonts. Similarly, Arabic characters are
difficult to fit nicely together with European characters into the
fixed character cells and X11 lacks the ligature substitution
mechanisms required for using Indic scripts.
Therefore these fonts primarily attempt to cover Unicode subsets that
fit together with European scripts. This includes the Latin, Greek,
Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian, and Hebrew scripts, plus a lot of
linguistic, technical and mathematical symbols. Some of the fixed
fonts now also cover Arabic, Thai, Ethiopian, halfwidth Katakana, and
some other non-European scripts.
We have defined 3 different target character repertoires (ISO 10646-1
subsets) that the various fonts were checked against for minimal
guaranteed coverage:
TARGET1 617 characters
Covers all characters of ISO 8859 part 1-5,7-10,13-16,
CEN MES-1, ISO 6937, Microsoft CP1251/CP1252, DEC VT100
graphics symbols, and the replacement and default
character. It is intended for small bold, italic, and
proportional fonts, for which adding block graphics
characters would make little sense. This repertoire
covers the following ISO 10646-1:2000 collections
completely: 1-3, 8, 12.
TARGET2 886 characters
Adds to TARGET1 the characters of the Adobe/Microsoft
Windows Glyph List 4 (WGL4), plus a selected set of
mathematical characters (covering most of ISO 31-11
high-school level math symbols) and some combining
characters. It is intended to be covered by all normal
"fixed" fonts and covers all European IBM, Microsoft, and
Macintosh character sets. This repertoire covers the
following ISO 10646-1:2000 (including Amd 1:2002)
collections completely: 1-3, 8, 12, 33, 45.
TARGET3 3282 characters
Adds to TARGET2 all characters of all European scripts
(Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian), all
phonetic alphabet symbols, many mathematical symbols
(including all those available in LaTeX), all typographic
punctuation, all box-drawing characters, control code
pictures, graphical shapes and some more that you would
expect in a very comprehensive Unicode 4.0 font for
European users. It is intended for some of the more
useful and more widely used normal "fixed" fonts. This
repertoire is, with two exceptions, a superset of all
graphical characters in CEN MES-3A and covers the
following ISO 10646-1:2000 (including Amd 1:2002)
collections completely: 1-12, 27, 30-31, 32 (only
graphical characters), 33-42, 44-47, 63, 65, 70 (only
graphical characters).
[The two MES-3A characters deliberately omitted are the
angle bracket characters U+2329 and U+232A. ISO and CEN
appears to have included these into collection 40 and
MES-3A by accident, because there they are the only
characters in the Unicode EastAsianWidth "wide" class.]
CURRENT STATUS:
6x13.bdf 8x13.bdf 9x15.bdf 9x18.bdf 10x20.bdf:
Complete (TARGET3 reached and checked)
5x7.bdf 5x8.bdf 6x9.bdf 6x10.bdf 6x12.bdf 7x13.bdf 7x14.bdf clR6x12.bdf:
Complete (TARGET2 reached and checked)
6x13B.bdf 7x13B.bdf 7x14B.bdf 8x13B.bdf 9x15B.bdf 9x18B.bdf:
Complete (TARGET1 reached and checked)
6x13O.bdf 7x13O.bdf 8x13O.bdf
Complete (TARGET1 minus Hebrew and block graphics)
[None of the above fonts contains any character that has in Unicode
the East Asian Width Property "W" or "F" assigned. This way, the
desired combination of "half-width" and "full-width" glyphs can be
achieved easily. Most font mechanisms display a character that is not
covered in a font by using a glyph from another font that appears
later in a priority list, which can be arranged to be a "full-width"
font.]
The supplement package
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts-asian.tar.gz
contains the following additional square fonts with Han characters for
East Asian users:
12x13ja.bdf:
Covers TARGET2, JIS X 0208, Hangul, and a few more. This font is
primarily intended to provide Japanese full-width Hiragana,
Katakana, and Kanji for applications that take the remaining
("halfwidth") characters from 6x13.bdf. The Greek lowercase
characters in it are still a bit ugly and will need some work.
18x18ja.bdf:
Covers all JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212, GB 2312-80, KS X 1001:1992,
ISO 8859-1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,15, CP437, CP850 and CP1252 characters,
plus a few more, where priority was given to Japanese han style
variants. This font should have everything needed to cover the
full ISO-2022-JP-2 (RFC 1554) repertoire. This font is primarily
intended to provide Japanese full-width Hiragana, Katakana, and
Kanji for applications that take the remaining ("halfwidth")
characters from 9x18.bdf.
18x18ko.bdf:
Covers the same repertoire as 18x18ja plus full coverage of all
Hangul syllables and priority was given to Hanja glyphs in the
unified CJK area as they are used for writing Korean.
The 9x18 and 6x12 fonts are recommended for use with overstriking
combining characters.
Bug reports, suggestions for improvement, and especially contributed
extensions are very welcome!
INSTALLATION
------------
You install the fonts under Unix roughly like this (details depending
on your system of course):
System-wide installation (root access required):
cd submission/
make
su
mv -b *.pcf.gz /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
mkfontdir
xset fp rehash
Alternative: Installation in your private user directory:
cd submission/
make
mkdir -p ~/local/lib/X11/fonts/
mv *.pcf.gz ~/local/lib/X11/fonts/
cd ~/local/lib/X11/fonts/
mkfontdir
xset +fp ~/local/lib/X11/fonts (put this last line also in ~/.xinitrc)
Now you can have a look at say the 6x13 font with the command
xfd -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1'
If you want to have short names for the Unicode fonts, you can also
append the fonts.alias file to that in the directory where you install
the fonts, call "mkfontdir" and "xset fp rehash" again, and then you
can also write
xfd -fn 6x13U
Note: If you use an old version of xfontsel, you might notice that it
treats every font that contains characters >0x00ff as a Japanese JIS
font and therefore selects inappropriate sample characters for display
of ISO 10646-1 fonts. An updated xfontsel version with this bug fixed
comes with XFree86 4.0 / X11R6.8 or newer.
If you use the Exceed X server on Microsoft Windows, then you will
have to convert the BDF files into Microsoft FON files using the
"Compile Fonts" function of Exceed xconfig. See the file exceed.txt
for more information.
There is one significant efficiency problem that X11R6 has with the
sparsely populated ISO10646-1 fonts. X11 transmits and allocates 12
bytes with the XFontStruct data structure for the difference between
the lowest and the highest code value found in a font, no matter
whether the code positions in between are used for characters or not.
Even a tiny font that contains only two glyphs at positions 0x0000 and
0xfffd causes 12 bytes * 65534 codes = 786 kbytes to be requested and
stored by the client. Since all the ISO10646-1 BDF files provided in
this package contain characters in the U+00xx (ASCII) and U+ffxx
(ligatures, etc.) range, all of them would result in 786 kbyte large
XCharStruct arrays in the per_char array of the corresponding
XFontStruct (even for CharCell fonts!) when loaded by an X client.
Until this problem is fixed by extending the X11 font protocol and
implementation, non-CJK ISO10646-1 fonts that lack the (anyway not
very interesting) characters above U+31FF seem to be the best
compromise. The bdftruncate.pl program in this package can be used to
deactivate any glyphs above a threshold code value in BDF files. This
way, we get relatively memory-economic ISO10646-1 fonts that cause
"only" 150 kbyte large XCharStruct arrays to be allocated. The
deactivated glyphs are still present in the BDF files, but with an
encoding value of -1 that causes them to be ignored.
The ISO10646-1 fonts can not only be used directly by Unicode aware
software, they can also be used to create any 8-bit font. The
ucs2any.pl Perl script converts a ISO10646-1 BDF font into a BDF font
file with some different encoding. For instance the command
perl ucs2any.pl 6x13.bdf MAPPINGS/8859-7.TXT ISO8859-7
will generate the file 6x13-ISO8859-7.bdf according to the 8859-7.TXT
Latin/Greek mapping table, which available from
<ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/>. [The shell script
./map_fonts automatically generates a subdirectory derived-fonts/ with
many *.bdf and *.pcf.gz 8-bit versions of all the
-misc-fixed-*-iso10646-1 fonts.]
When you do a "make" in the submission/ subdirectory as suggested in
the installation instructions above, this will generate exactly the
set of fonts that have been submitted to the XFree86 project for
inclusion into XFree86 4.0. These consists of all the ISO10646-1 fonts
processed with "bdftruncate.pl U+3200" plus a selected set of derived
8-bit fonts generated with ucs2any.pl.
Every font comes with a *.repertoire-utf8 file that lists all the
characters in this font.
CONTRIBUTING
------------
If you want to help me in extending or improving the fonts, or if you
want to start your own ISO 10646-1 font project, you will have to edit
BDF font files. This is most comfortably done with the gbdfed font
editor (version 1.3 or higher), which is available from
http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/gbdfed.html
Once you are familiar with gbdfed, you will notice that it is no
problem to design up to 100 nice characters per hour (even more if
only placing accents is involved).
Information about other X11 font tools and Unicode fonts for X11 in
general can be found on
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html
The latest version of this package is available from
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz
If you want to contribute, then get the very latest version of this
package, check which glyphs are still missing or inappropriate for
your needs, and send me whatever you had the time to add and fix. Just
email me the extended BDF-files back, or even better, send me a patch
file of what you changed. The best way of preparing a patch file is
./touch_id newfile.bdf
diff -d -u -F STARTCHAR oldfile.bdf newfile.bdf >file.diff
which ensures that the patch file preserves information about which
exact version you worked on and what character each "hunk" changes.
I will try to update this packet on a daily basis. By sending me
extensions to these fonts, you agree that the resulting improved font
files will remain in the public domain for everyone's free use. Always
make sure to load the very latest version of the package immediately
before your start, and send me your results as soon as you are done,
in order to avoid revision overlaps with other contributors.
Please try to be careful with the glyphs you generate:
- Always look first at existing similar characters in order to
preserve a consistent look and feel for the entire font and
within the font family. For block graphics characters and geometric
symbols, take care of correct alignment.
- Read issues.txt, which contains some design hints for certain
characters.
- All characters of CharCell (C) fonts must strictly fit into
the pixel matrix and absolutely no out-of-box ink is allowed.
- The character cells will be displayed directly next to each other,
without any additional pixels in between. Therefore, always make
sure that at least the rightmost pixel column remains white, as
otherwise letters will stick together, except of course for
characters -- like Arabic or block graphics -- that are supposed to
stick together.
- Place accents as low as possible on the Latin characters.
- Try to keep the shape of accents consistent among each other and
with the combining characters in the U+03xx range.
- Use gbdfed only to edit the BDF file directly and do not import
the font that you want to edit from the X server. Use gbdfed 1.3
or higher.
- The glyph names should be the Adobe names for Unicode characters
defined at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html
which gbdfed can set automatically. To make the Edit/Rename Glyphs/
Adobe Names function work, you have to download the file
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyphlist.txt
and configure its location either in Edit/Preferences/Editing Options/
Adobe Glyph List, or as "adobe_name_file" in "~/.gbdfed".
- Be careful to not change the FONTBOUNDINGBOX box accidentally in
a patch.
You should have a copy of the ISO 10646 standard
ISO/IEC 10646:2003, Information technology -- Universal
Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set (UCS),
International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, 2003.

ISBN 9780321480910.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321480910/mgk25
All these fonts are from time to time resubmitted to the X.Org
project, XFree86 (they have been in there since XFree86 4.0), and to
other X server developers for inclusion into their normal X11
distributions.
Starting with XFree86 4.0, xterm has included UTF-8 support. This
version is also available from
http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.html
Please make the developer of your favourite software aware of the
UTF-8 definition in RFC 2279 and of the existence of this font
collection. For more information on how to use UTF-8, please check out

## Provided fonts
These are BDF fonts, a simple bitmap font-format that can be created
by many font tools. Given that these are bitmap fonts, they will look good on
very low resolution screens such as the LED displays.
Fonts in this directory (except tom-thumb.bdf) are public domain (see the [README](./README)) and
help you to get started with the font support in the API or the `text-util`
from the utils/ directory.
Tom-Thumb.bdf is included in this directory under [MIT license](http://vt100.tarunz.org/LICENSE). Tom-thumb.bdf was created by [@robey](http://twitter.com/robey) and originally published at https://robey.lag.net/2010/01/23/tiny-monospace-font.html
The texgyre-27.bdf font was created using the [otf2bdf] tool from the TeX Gyre font.
```bash
otf2bdf -v -o texgyre-27.bdf -r 72 -p 27 texgyreadventor-regular.otf
```
## Create your own
Fonts are in a human-readable and editable `*.bdf` format, but unless you
like reading and writing pixels in hex, generating them is probably easier :)
You can use any font-editor to generate a BDF font or use the conversion
tool [otf2bdf] to create one from some other font format.
Here is an example how you could create a 30-pixel high BDF font from some
TrueType font:
```bash
otf2bdf -v -o myfont.bdf -r 72 -p 30 /path/to/font-Bold.ttf
```
## Getting otf2bdf
Installing the tool should be fairly straightforward.
```bash
sudo apt-get install otf2bdf
```
## Compiling otf2bdf
If you like to compile otf2bdf, you might notice that the configure script
uses some old way of getting the freetype configuration. There does not seem
to be much activity on the mature code, so let's patch that first:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y libfreetype6-dev pkg-config autoconf
git clone https://github.com/jirutka/otf2bdf.git # check it out
cd otf2bdf

# Configuration Debugging Guide
This guide helps troubleshoot configuration issues in LEDMatrix.
## Configuration Files
### Main Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `config/config.json` | Main configuration |
| `config/config_secrets.json` | API keys and sensitive data |
| `config/config.template.json` | Template for new installations |
### Plugin Configuration
Each plugin's configuration is a top-level key in `config.json`:
```json
{
"football-scoreboard": {
"enabled": true,
"display_duration": 30,
"nfl": {
"enabled": true,
"live_priority": false
}
},
"odds-ticker": {
"enabled": true,
"display_duration": 15
}
}
```
## Schema Validation
Plugins define their configuration schema in `config_schema.json`. This enables:
- Automatic default value population
- Configuration validation
- Web UI form generation
### Missing Schema Warning
If a plugin doesn't have `config_schema.json`, you'll see:
```
WARNING - Plugin 'my-plugin' has no config_schema.json - configuration will not be validated.
```
**Fix**: Add a `config_schema.json` to your plugin directory.
### Schema Example
```json
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"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 in seconds"
},
"api_key": {
"type": "string",
"description": "API key for data access"
}
},
"required": ["api_key"]
}
```
## Common Configuration Issues
### 1. Type Mismatches
**Problem**: String value where number expected
```json
{
"display_duration": "30" // Wrong: string
}
```
**Fix**: Use correct types
```json
{
"display_duration": 30 // Correct: number
}
```
**Logged Warning**:
```
WARNING - Config display_duration has invalid string value '30', using default 15.0
```
### 2. Missing Required Fields
**Problem**: Required field not in config
```json
{
"football-scoreboard": {
"enabled": true
// Missing api_key which is required
}
}
```
**Logged Error**:
```
ERROR - Plugin football-scoreboard configuration validation failed: 'api_key' is a required property
```
### 3. Invalid Nested Objects
**Problem**: Wrong structure for nested config
```json
{
"football-scoreboard": {
"nfl": "enabled" // Wrong: should be object
}
}
```
**Fix**: Use correct structure
```json
{
"football-scoreboard": {
"nfl": {
"enabled": true
}
}
}
```
### 4. Invalid JSON Syntax
**Problem**: Malformed JSON
```json
{
"plugin": {
"enabled": true, // Trailing comma
}
}
```
**Fix**: Remove trailing commas, ensure valid JSON
```json
{
"plugin": {
"enabled": true
}
}
```
**Tip**: Validate JSON at https://jsonlint.com/
## Debugging Configuration Loading
### Enable Debug Logging
Set environment variable:
```bash
export LEDMATRIX_DEBUG=1
python run.py
```
### Check Merged Configuration
The configuration is merged with schema defaults. To see the final merged config:
1. Enable debug logging
2. Look for log entries like:
```
DEBUG - Merged config with schema defaults for football-scoreboard
```
### Configuration Load Order
1. Load `config.json`
2. Load `config_secrets.json`
3. Merge secrets into main config
4. For each plugin:
- Load plugin's `config_schema.json`
- Extract default values from schema
- Merge user config with defaults
- Validate merged config against schema
## Web Interface Issues
### Changes Not Saving
1. Check file permissions on `config/` directory
2. Check disk space
3. Look for errors in browser console
4. Check server logs for save errors
### Form Fields Not Appearing
1. Plugin may not have `config_schema.json`
2. Schema may have syntax errors
3. Check browser console for JavaScript errors
### Checkboxes Not Working
Boolean values from checkboxes should be actual booleans, not strings:
```json
{
"enabled": true, // Correct
"enabled": "true" // Wrong
}
```
## Config Key Collision Detection
LEDMatrix detects potential config key conflicts:
### Reserved Keys
These plugin IDs will trigger a warning:
- `display`, `schedule`, `timezone`, `plugin_system`
- `display_modes`, `system`, `hardware`, `debug`
- `log_level`, `emulator`, `web_interface`
**Warning**:
```
WARNING - Plugin ID 'display' conflicts with reserved config key.
```
### Case Collisions
Plugin IDs that differ only in case:
```
WARNING - Plugin ID 'Football-Scoreboard' may conflict with 'football-scoreboard' on case-insensitive file systems.
```
## Checking Configuration via API
The API blueprint mounts at `/api/v3` (`web_interface/app.py:144`).
```bash
# Get full main config (includes all plugin sections)
curl http://localhost:5000/api/v3/config/main
# Save updated main config
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v3/config/main \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @new-config.json
# Get config schema for a specific plugin
curl "http://localhost:5000/api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=football-scoreboard"
# Get a single plugin's current config
curl "http://localhost:5000/api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=football-scoreboard"
```
> There is no dedicated `/config/plugin/<id>` or `/config/validate`
> endpoint — config validation runs server-side automatically when you
> POST to `/config/main` or `/plugins/config`. See
> [REST_API_REFERENCE.md](REST_API_REFERENCE.md) for the full list.
## Backup and Recovery
### Manual Backup
```bash
cp config/config.json config/config.backup.json
```
### Automatic Backups
LEDMatrix creates backups before saves:
- Location: `config/backups/`
- Format: `config_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json`
### Recovery
```bash
# List backups
ls -la config/backups/
# Restore from backup
cp config/backups/config_20240115_120000.json config/config.json
```

## Plugin Submodules
## Plugins
Plugin submodules are located in the `plugins/` directory and are managed similarly:
Plugins are **not** git submodules of this repository. The plugins
directory (configured by `plugin_system.plugins_directory` in
`config/config.json`, default `plugin-repos/`) is populated at install
time by the plugin loader as users install plugins from the Plugin Store
or from a GitHub URL via the web interface. Plugin source lives in a
separate repository:
[ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins](https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins).
**Initialize all plugin submodules:**
```bash
git submodule update --init --recursive plugins/
```
To work on a plugin locally without going through the Plugin Store, clone
that repo and symlink (or copy) the plugin directory into your configured
plugins directory — by default `plugin-repos/<plugin-id>/`. The plugin
loader will pick it up on the next display restart. The directory name
must match the plugin's `id` in `manifest.json`.
**Initialize a specific plugin:**
```bash
git submodule update --init --recursive plugins/hockey-scoreboard
```
For more information about plugins, see the [Plugin Development Guide](.cursor/plugins_guide.md) and [Plugin Architecture Specification](docs/PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md).
For more information, see:
- [PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md](PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md) — end-to-end

# Dev Preview & Visual Testing
Tools for rapid plugin development without deploying to the RPi.
## Dev Preview Server
Interactive web UI for tweaking plugin configs and seeing the rendered display in real time.
### Quick Start
```bash
python scripts/dev_server.py
# Opens at http://localhost:5001
```
### Options
```bash
python scripts/dev_server.py --port 8080 # Custom port
python scripts/dev_server.py --extra-dir /path/to/custom-plugin # 3rd party plugins
python scripts/dev_server.py --debug # Flask debug mode
```
### Workflow
1. Select a plugin from the dropdown (auto-discovers from `plugins/` and `plugin-repos/`)
2. The config form auto-generates from the plugin's `config_schema.json`
3. Tweak any config value — the display preview updates automatically
4. Toggle "Auto" off for plugins with slow `update()` calls, then click "Render" manually
5. Use the zoom slider to scale the tiny display (128x32) up for detailed inspection
6. Toggle the grid overlay to see individual pixel boundaries
### Mock Data for API-dependent Plugins
Many plugins fetch data from APIs (sports scores, weather, stocks). To render these locally, expand "Mock Data" and paste a JSON object with cache keys the plugin expects.
To find the cache keys a plugin uses, search its `manager.py` for `self.cache_manager.set(` calls.
Example for a sports plugin:
```json
{
"football_scores": {
"games": [
{"home": "Eagles", "away": "Chiefs", "home_score": 24, "away_score": 21, "status": "Final"}
]
}
}
```
---
## CLI Render Script
Render any plugin to a PNG image from the command line. Useful for AI-assisted development and scripted workflows.
### Usage
```bash
# Basic — renders with default config
python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin hello-world --output /tmp/hello.png
# Custom config
python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin clock-simple \
--config '{"timezone":"America/New_York","time_format":"12h"}' \
--output /tmp/clock.png
# Different display dimensions
python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin hello-world --width 64 --height 32 --output /tmp/small.png
# 3rd party plugin from a custom directory
python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin my-plugin --plugin-dir /path/to/repo --output /tmp/my.png
# With mock API data
python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin football-scoreboard \
--mock-data /tmp/mock_scores.json \
--output /tmp/football.png
```
### Using with Claude Code / AI
Claude can run the render script, then read the output PNG (Claude is multimodal and can see images). This enables a visual feedback loop:
```bash
Claude → bash: python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin hello-world --output /tmp/render.png
Claude → Read /tmp/render.png ← Claude sees the actual rendered display
Claude → (makes code changes based on what it sees)
Claude → bash: python scripts/render_plugin.py --plugin hello-world --output /tmp/render2.png
Claude → Read /tmp/render2.png ← verifies the visual change
```
---
## VisualTestDisplayManager (for test suites)
A display manager that renders real pixels for use in pytest, without requiring hardware.
### Basic Usage
```python
from src.plugin_system.testing import VisualTestDisplayManager, MockCacheManager, MockPluginManager
def test_my_plugin_renders_title():
display = VisualTestDisplayManager(width=128, height=32)
cache = MockCacheManager()
pm = MockPluginManager()
plugin = MyPlugin(
plugin_id='my-plugin',
config={'enabled': True, 'title': 'Hello'},
display_manager=display,
cache_manager=cache,
plugin_manager=pm
)
plugin.update()
plugin.display(force_clear=True)
# Verify pixels were drawn (not just that methods were called)
pixels = list(display.image.getdata())
assert any(p != (0, 0, 0) for p in pixels), "Display should not be blank"
# Save snapshot for manual inspection
display.save_snapshot('/tmp/test_my_plugin.png')
```
### Pytest Fixture
A `visual_display_manager` fixture is available in plugin tests:
```python
def test_rendering(visual_display_manager):
visual_display_manager.draw_text("Test", x=10, y=10, color=(255, 255, 255))
assert visual_display_manager.width == 128
pixels = list(visual_display_manager.image.getdata())
assert any(p != (0, 0, 0) for p in pixels)
```
### Key Differences from MockDisplayManager
| Feature | MockDisplayManager | VisualTestDisplayManager |
|---------|-------------------|--------------------------|
| Renders pixels | No (logs calls only) | Yes (real PIL rendering) |
| Loads fonts | No | Yes (same fonts as production) |
| Save to PNG | No | Yes (`save_snapshot()`) |
| Call tracking | Yes | Yes (backwards compatible) |
| Use case | Unit tests (method call assertions) | Visual tests, dev preview |
---
## Plugin Test Runner
The test runner auto-detects `plugin-repos/` for monorepo development:
```bash
# Auto-detect (tries plugins/ then plugin-repos/)
python scripts/run_plugin_tests.py
# Test specific plugin
python scripts/run_plugin_tests.py --plugin clock-simple
# Explicit directory
python scripts/run_plugin_tests.py --plugins-dir plugin-repos/
# With coverage
python scripts/run_plugin_tests.py --coverage --verbose

# Getting Started with LEDMatrix
## Welcome
This guide will help you set up your LEDMatrix display for the first time and get it running in under 30 minutes.
---
## Prerequisites
**Hardware:**
- Raspberry Pi (3, 4, or 5 recommended)
- RGB LED Matrix panel (32x64 or 64x64)
- Adafruit RGB Matrix HAT or similar
- Power supply (5V, 4A minimum recommended)
- MicroSD card (16GB minimum)
**Network:**
- WiFi network (or Ethernet cable)
- Computer with web browser on same network
---
## Quick Start (5 Minutes)
### 1. First Boot
1. Insert the MicroSD card with LEDMatrix installed
2. Connect the LED matrix to your Raspberry Pi
3. Plug in the power supply
4. Wait for the Pi to boot (about 60 seconds)
**Expected Behavior:**
- LED matrix will light up
- Display will show default plugins (clock, weather, etc.)
- Pi creates WiFi network "LEDMatrix-Setup" if not connected
### 2. Connect to WiFi
**If you see "LEDMatrix-Setup" WiFi network:**
1. Connect your device to "LEDMatrix-Setup" (open network, no password)
2. Open browser to: `http://192.168.4.1:5000`
3. Navigate to the WiFi tab
4. Click "Scan" to find your WiFi network
5. Select your network, enter password
6. Click "Connect"
7. Wait for connection (LED matrix will show confirmation)
**If already connected to WiFi:**
1. Find your Pi's IP address (check your router, or run `hostname -I` on the Pi)
2. Open browser to: `http://your-pi-ip:5000`
### 3. Access the Web Interface
Once connected, access the web interface:
```
http://your-pi-ip:5000
```
You should see:
- Overview tab with system stats
- Live display preview
- Quick action buttons
---
## Initial Configuration (15 Minutes)
### Step 1: Configure Display Hardware
1. Open the **Display** tab
2. Set your matrix configuration:
- **Rows**: 32 or 64 (match your hardware)
- **Columns**: commonly 64 or 96; the web UI accepts any integer
in the 16128 range, but 64 and 96 are the values the bundled
panel hardware ships with
- **Chain Length**: Number of panels chained horizontally
- **Hardware Mapping**: usually `adafruit-hat-pwm` (with the PWM jumper
mod) or `adafruit-hat` (without). See the root README for the full list.
- **Brightness**: 7090 is fine for indoor use
3. Click **Save**
4. From the **Overview** tab, click **Restart Display Service** to apply
**Tip:** if the display shows garbage or nothing, the most common culprits
are an incorrect `hardware_mapping`, a `gpio_slowdown` value that doesn't
match your Pi model, or panels needing the E-line mod. See
[TROUBLESHOOTING.md](TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
### Step 2: Set Timezone and Location
1. Open the **General** tab
2. Set your timezone (e.g., `America/New_York`) and location
3. Click **Save**
Correct timezone ensures accurate time display, and location is used by
weather and other location-aware plugins.
### Step 3: Install Plugins
1. Open the **Plugin Manager** tab
2. Scroll to the **Plugin Store** section to browse available plugins
3. Click **Install** on the plugins you want
4. Wait for installation to finish — installed plugins appear in the
**Installed Plugins** section above and get their own tab in the second
nav row
5. Toggle the plugin to enabled
6. From **Overview**, click **Restart Display Service**
You can also install community plugins straight from a GitHub URL using the
**Install from GitHub** section further down the same tab — see
[PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md](PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md) for details.
### Step 4: Configure Plugins
1. Each installed plugin gets its own tab in the second navigation row
2. Open that plugin's tab to edit its settings (favorite teams, API keys,
update intervals, display duration, etc.)
3. Click **Save**
4. Restart the display service from **Overview** so the new settings take
effect
**Example: Weather Plugin**
- Set your location (city, state, country)
- Add an API key from OpenWeatherMap (free signup) to
`config/config_secrets.json` or directly in the plugin's config screen
- Set the update interval (300 seconds is reasonable)
---
## Testing Your Display
### Run a single plugin on demand
The fastest way to verify a plugin works without waiting for the rotation:
1. Open the plugin's tab (second nav row)
2. Scroll to **On-Demand Controls**
3. Click **Run On-Demand** — the plugin runs immediately even if disabled
4. Click **Stop On-Demand** to return to the normal rotation
### Check the live preview and logs
- The **Overview** tab shows a **Live Display Preview** that mirrors what's
on the matrix in real time — handy for debugging without looking at the
panel.
- The **Logs** tab streams the display and web service logs. Look for
`ERROR` lines if something isn't working; normal operation just shows
`INFO` messages about plugin rotation.
---
## Common First-Time Issues
### Display Not Showing Anything
**Check:**
1. Power supply connected and adequate (5V, 4A minimum)
2. LED matrix connected to the bonnet/HAT correctly
3. Display service running: `sudo systemctl status ledmatrix`
4. Hardware configuration matches your matrix (rows/cols/chain length)
**Fix:**
1. Restart from the **Overview** tab → **Restart Display Service**
2. Or via SSH: `sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix`
### Web Interface Won't Load
**Check:**
1. Pi is connected to network: `ping your-pi-ip`
2. Web service running: `sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-web`
3. Correct port: the web UI listens on `:5000`
4. Firewall not blocking port 5000
**Fix:**
1. Restart web service: `sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web`
2. Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-web -n 50`
### Plugins Not Showing
**Check:**
1. Plugin is enabled (toggle on the **Plugin Manager** tab)
2. Display service was restarted after enabling
3. Plugin's display duration is non-zero
4. No errors in the **Logs** tab for that plugin
**Fix:**
1. Enable the plugin from **Plugin Manager**
2. Click **Restart Display Service** on **Overview**
3. Check the **Logs** tab for plugin-specific errors
### Weather Plugin Shows "No Data"
**Check:**
1. API key configured (OpenWeatherMap)
2. Location is correct (city, state, country)
3. Internet connection working
**Fix:**
1. Sign up at openweathermap.org (free)
2. Add API key to config_secrets.json or plugin config
3. Restart display
---
## Next Steps
### Customize Your Display
**Adjust display durations:**
- Each plugin's tab has a **Display Duration (seconds)** field — set how
long that plugin stays on screen each rotation.
**Organize plugin order:**
- Use the **Plugin Manager** tab to enable/disable plugins. The display
cycles through enabled plugins in the order they appear.
**Add more plugins:**
- Check the **Plugin Store** section of **Plugin Manager** for new plugins.
- Install community plugins straight from a GitHub URL via
**Install from GitHub** on the same tab.
### Enable Advanced Features
**Vegas Scroll Mode:**
- Continuous scrolling ticker display
- See [ADVANCED_FEATURES.md](ADVANCED_FEATURES.md) for details
**On-Demand Display:**
- Manually trigger specific plugins
- Pin important information
- See [ADVANCED_FEATURES.md](ADVANCED_FEATURES.md) for details
**Background Services:**
- Non-blocking data fetching
- Faster plugin rotation

Return plugin info for display in web UI. Override to provide additional state information.
### Dynamic-duration hooks
Plugins that render multi-step content (e.g. cycling through several games)
can extend their display time until they've shown everything. To opt in,
either set `dynamic_duration.enabled: true` in the plugin's config or
override `supports_dynamic_duration()`.
#### `supports_dynamic_duration() -> bool`
Return `True` if this plugin should use dynamic durations. Default reads
`config["dynamic_duration"]["enabled"]`.
#### `get_dynamic_duration_cap() -> Optional[float]`
Maximum number of seconds the controller will keep this plugin on screen
in dynamic mode. Default reads
`config["dynamic_duration"]["max_duration_seconds"]`.
#### `is_cycle_complete() -> bool`
Override this to return `True` only after the plugin has rendered all of
its content for the current rotation. Default returns `True` immediately,
which means a single `display()` call counts as a full cycle.
#### `reset_cycle_state() -> None`
Called by the controller before each new dynamic-duration session. Reset
internal counters/iterators here.
### Live priority hooks
Live priority lets a plugin temporarily take over the rotation when it has
urgent content (live games, breaking news). Enable by setting
`live_priority: true` in the plugin's config and overriding
`has_live_content()`.
#### `has_live_priority() -> bool`
Whether live priority is enabled in config (default reads
`config["live_priority"]`).
#### `has_live_content() -> bool`
Override to return `True` when the plugin currently has urgent content.
Default returns `False`.
#### `get_live_modes() -> List[str]`
List of display modes to show during a live takeover. Default returns the
plugin's `display_modes` from its manifest.
### Vegas scroll hooks
Vegas mode shows multiple plugins as a single continuous scroll instead of
rotating one at a time. Plugins control how their content appears via
these hooks. See [ADVANCED_FEATURES.md](ADVANCED_FEATURES.md) for the user
side of Vegas mode.
#### `get_vegas_content() -> Optional[PIL.Image | List[PIL.Image] | None]`
Return content to inject into the scroll. Multi-item plugins (sports,
odds, news) should return a *list* of PIL Images so each item scrolls
independently. Static plugins (clock, weather) can return a single image.
Returning `None` falls back to capturing whatever `display()` produces.
#### `get_vegas_content_type() -> str`
`'multi'`, `'static'`, or `'none'`. Affects how Vegas mode treats the
plugin. Default `'static'`.
#### `get_vegas_display_mode() -> VegasDisplayMode`
Returns one of `VegasDisplayMode.SCROLL`, `FIXED_SEGMENT`, or `STATIC`.
Read from `config["vegas_mode"]` or override directly.
#### `get_supported_vegas_modes() -> List[VegasDisplayMode]`
The set of Vegas modes this plugin can render. Used by the UI to populate
the mode selector for this plugin.
#### `get_vegas_segment_width() -> Optional[int]`
For `FIXED_SEGMENT` plugins, the width in pixels of the segment they
occupy in the scroll. `None` lets the controller pick a default.

### Image Rendering
#### `draw_image(image: PIL.Image, x: int, y: int) -> None`
The display manager doesn't provide a dedicated `draw_image()` method.
Instead, plugins paste directly onto the underlying PIL Image
(`display_manager.image`), then call `update_display()` to push the buffer
to the matrix.
Draw a PIL Image object on the canvas.
**Parameters**:
- `image`: PIL Image object
- `x` (int): X position (left edge)
- `y` (int): Y position (top edge)
**Example**:
```python
from PIL import Image
logo = Image.open("assets/logo.png")
self.display_manager.draw_image(logo, x=10, y=10)
logo = Image.open("assets/logo.png").convert("RGB")
self.display_manager.image.paste(logo, (10, 10))
self.display_manager.update_display()
```
For transparency support, paste using a mask:
```python
icon = Image.open("assets/icon.png").convert("RGBA")
self.display_manager.image.paste(icon, (5, 5), icon)
self.display_manager.update_display()
```
This is the same pattern the bundled scoreboard base classes
(`src/base_classes/baseball.py`, `basketball.py`, `football.py`,
`hockey.py`) use, so it's the canonical way to render arbitrary images.

**Parameters**:
- `key` (str): Cache key to delete

# Plugin Error Handling Guide
This guide covers best practices for error handling in LEDMatrix plugins.
## Custom Exception Hierarchy
LEDMatrix provides typed exceptions for different error categories. Use these instead of generic `Exception`:
```python
from src.exceptions import PluginError, ConfigError, CacheError, DisplayError
# Plugin-related errors
raise PluginError("Failed to fetch data", plugin_id=self.plugin_id, context={"api": "ESPN"})
# Configuration errors
raise ConfigError("Invalid API key format", field="api_key")
# Cache errors
raise CacheError("Cache write failed", cache_key="game_data")
# Display errors
raise DisplayError("Failed to render", display_mode="live")
```
### Exception Context
All LEDMatrix exceptions support a `context` dict for additional debugging info:
```python
raise PluginError(
"API request failed",
plugin_id=self.plugin_id,
context={
"url": api_url,
"status_code": response.status_code,
"retry_count": 3
}
)
```
## Logging Best Practices
### Use the Plugin Logger
Every plugin has access to `self.logger`:
```python
class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
def update(self):
self.logger.info("Starting data fetch")
self.logger.debug("API URL: %s", api_url)
self.logger.warning("Rate limit approaching")
self.logger.error("API request failed", exc_info=True)
```
### Log Levels
- **DEBUG**: Detailed info for troubleshooting (API URLs, parsed data)
- **INFO**: Normal operation milestones (plugin loaded, data fetched)
- **WARNING**: Recoverable issues (rate limits, cache miss, fallback used)
- **ERROR**: Failures that need attention (API down, display error)
### Include exc_info for Exceptions
```python
try:
response = requests.get(url)
except requests.RequestException as e:
self.logger.error("API request failed: %s", e, exc_info=True)
```
## Error Handling Patterns
### Never Use Bare except
```python
# BAD - swallows all errors including KeyboardInterrupt
try:
self.fetch_data()
except:
pass
# GOOD - catch specific exceptions
try:
self.fetch_data()
except requests.RequestException as e:
self.logger.warning("Network error, using cached data: %s", e)
self.data = self.get_cached_data()
```
### Graceful Degradation
```python
def update(self):
try:
self.data = self.fetch_live_data()
except requests.RequestException as e:
self.logger.warning("Live data unavailable: %s", e)
# Fall back to cache
cached = self.cache_manager.get(self.cache_key)
if cached:
self.logger.info("Using cached data")
self.data = cached
else:
self.logger.error("No cached data available")
self.data = None
```
### Validate Configuration Early
```python
def validate_config(self) -> bool:
"""Validate configuration at load time."""
api_key = self.config.get("api_key")
if not api_key:
self.logger.error("api_key is required but not configured")
return False
if not isinstance(api_key, str) or len(api_key) < 10:
self.logger.error("api_key appears to be invalid")
return False
return True
```
### Handle Display Errors
```python
def display(self, force_clear: bool = False) -> bool:
if not self.data:
if force_clear:
self.display_manager.clear()
self.display_manager.update_display()
return False
try:
self._render_content()
return True
except Exception as e:
self.logger.error("Display error: %s", e, exc_info=True)
# Clear display on error to prevent stale content
self.display_manager.clear()
self.display_manager.update_display()
return False
```
## Error Aggregation
LEDMatrix automatically tracks plugin errors. Access error data via the API:
```bash
# Get error summary
curl http://localhost:5000/api/v3/errors/summary
# Get plugin-specific health
curl http://localhost:5000/api/v3/errors/plugin/my-plugin
# Clear old errors
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v3/errors/clear
```
### Error Patterns
When the same error occurs repeatedly (5+ times in 60 minutes), it's detected as a pattern and logged as a warning. This helps identify systemic issues.
## Common Error Scenarios
### API Rate Limiting
```python
def fetch_data(self):
try:
response = requests.get(self.api_url)
if response.status_code == 429:
retry_after = int(response.headers.get("Retry-After", 60))
self.logger.warning("Rate limited, retry after %ds", retry_after)
self._rate_limited_until = time.time() + retry_after
return None
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
except requests.RequestException as e:
self.logger.error("API error: %s", e)
return None
```
### Timeout Handling
```python
def fetch_data(self):
try:
response = requests.get(self.api_url, timeout=10)
return response.json()
except requests.Timeout:
self.logger.warning("Request timed out, will retry next update")
return None
except requests.RequestException as e:
self.logger.error("Request failed: %s", e)
return None
```
### Missing Data Gracefully
```python
def get_team_logo(self, team_id):
logo_path = self.logos_dir / f"{team_id}.png"
if not logo_path.exists():
self.logger.debug("Logo not found for team %s, using default", team_id)
return self.default_logo
return Image.open(logo_path)
```
## Testing Error Handling
```python
def test_handles_api_error(mock_requests):
"""Test plugin handles API errors gracefully."""
mock_requests.get.side_effect = requests.RequestException("Network error")
plugin = MyPlugin(...)
plugin.update()
# Should not raise, should log warning, should have no data
assert plugin.data is None
def test_handles_invalid_json(mock_requests):
"""Test plugin handles invalid JSON response."""
mock_requests.get.return_value.json.side_effect = ValueError("Invalid JSON")
plugin = MyPlugin(...)
plugin.update()
assert plugin.data is None
```
## Checklist
- [ ] No bare `except:` clauses
- [ ] All exceptions logged with appropriate level
- [ ] `exc_info=True` for error-level logs
- [ ] Graceful degradation with cache fallbacks
- [ ] Configuration validated in `validate_config()`
- [ ] Display clears on error to prevent stale content
- [ ] Timeouts configured for all network requests

> implemented (per-plugin virtual envs, resource limits, registry
> manager). Drift from current reality is called out inline.
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the plugin architecture implementation, consolidating details from multiple plugin-related implementation summaries.

## Overview
Transform LEDMatrix into a modular, plugin-based system where users can create, share, and install custom displays via a GitHub-based store (similar to HACS for Home Assistant).
LEDMatrix is a modular, plugin-based system where users create, share,
and install custom displays via a GitHub-based store (similar in spirit
to HACS for Home Assistant). This page is a quick reference; for the
full design see [PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md](PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md)
and [PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md](PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md).
## Key Decisions
**Gradual Migration**: Existing managers stay, plugins added alongside
**Migration Required**: Breaking changes in v3.0, tools provided
**GitHub Store**: Simple discovery, packages from repos
**Plugin Location**: `./plugins/` directory
**Plugin-First**: All display features (calendar excepted) are now plugins
**GitHub Store**: Discovery from `ledmatrix-plugins` registry plus
any GitHub URL
**Plugin Location**: configured by `plugin_system.plugins_directory`
in `config.json` (default `plugin-repos/`; the loader also searches
`plugins/` as a fallback)

- ✅ Community handles custom displays
- ✅ Easier to review changes
## What's Missing?
## Known Limitations
This specification covers the technical architecture. Additional considerations:
The plugin system is shipped and stable, but some things are still
intentionally simple:
1. **Sandboxing**: Current design has no isolation (future enhancement)
2. **Resource Limits**: No CPU/memory limits per plugin (future)
3. **Plugin Ratings**: Registry needs rating/review system
4. **Auto-Updates**: Manual update only (could add auto-update)
5. **Dependency Conflicts**: No automatic resolution
6. **Version Pinning**: Limited version constraint checking
7. **Plugin Testing**: No automated testing framework
8. **Marketplace**: No paid plugins (all free/open source)
## Next Steps
1. ✅ Review this specification
2. Start Phase 1 implementation
3. Create first 3-4 example plugins
4. Set up plugin registry repo
5. Build web UI components
6. Test on Pi hardware
7. Release v2.0.0 alpha
## Questions to Resolve
Before implementing, consider:
1. Should we support plugin dependencies (plugin A requires plugin B)?
2. How to handle breaking changes in core display_manager API?
3. Should plugins be able to add new web UI pages?
4. What about plugins that need hardware beyond LED matrix?
5. How to prevent malicious plugins?
6. Should there be plugin quotas (max API calls, etc.)?
7. How to handle plugin conflicts (two clocks competing)?
1. **Sandboxing**: plugins run in the same process as the display loop;
there is no isolation. Review code before installing third-party
plugins.
2. **Resource limits**: there's a resource monitor that warns about
slow plugins, but no hard CPU/memory caps.
3. **Plugin ratings**: not yet — the Plugin Store shows version,
author, and category but no community rating system.
4. **Auto-updates**: manual via the Plugin Manager tab; no automatic
background updates.
5. **Dependency conflicts**: each plugin's `requirements.txt` is
installed via pip; conflicting versions across plugins are not
resolved automatically.
6. **Plugin testing framework**: see
[HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md](HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md) and
[DEV_PREVIEW.md](DEV_PREVIEW.md) — there are tools, but no
mandatory test gate.

```
**Via Python:**
```python
from src.plugin_system.store_manager import PluginStoreManager
store = PluginStoreManager()
result = store.install_from_url('https://github.com/user/ledmatrix-my-plugin')
if result['success']:
print(f"Installed: {result['plugin_id']}")
else:
print(f"Error: {result['error']}")
```
---
## Searching for Plugins
**Via Web Interface:**
- Use the search bar to search by name, description, or author
- Filter by category (sports, weather, time, finance, etc.)
- Click on tags to filter by specific tags
**Via REST API:**
```bash
# Search by query
curl "http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/plugins/store/search?q=hockey"
# Filter by category
curl "http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/plugins/store/search?category=sports"
# Filter by tags
curl "http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/plugins/store/search?tags=nhl&tags=hockey"
```
**Via Python:**
```python
from src.plugin_system.store_manager import PluginStoreManager
store = PluginStoreManager()
# Search by query
results = store.search_plugins(query="hockey")
# Filter by category
results = store.search_plugins(category="sports")
# Filter by tags
results = store.search_plugins(tags=["nhl", "hockey"])
```
---
## Managing Installed Plugins
### List Installed Plugins
**Via Web Interface:**
- Navigate to the "Plugin Manager" tab
- View all installed plugins with their status
**Via REST API:**
```bash
curl "http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/plugins/installed"
```
**Via Python:**
```python
from src.plugin_system.store_manager import PluginStoreManager
store = PluginStoreManager()
installed = store.list_installed_plugins()
for plugin_id in installed:
info = store.get_installed_plugin_info(plugin_id)
print(f"{info['name']} (Last updated: {info.get('last_updated', 'unknown')})")
```
### Enable/Disable Plugins
**Via Web Interface:**
1. Navigate to the "Plugin Manager" tab
2. Use the toggle switch next to each plugin
3. Restart the display to apply changes
**Via REST API:**
```bash

```
**Via Python:**
```python
from src.plugin_system.store_manager import PluginStoreManager
store = PluginStoreManager()
success = store.uninstall_plugin('clock-simple')
```
---
## Configuring Plugins
Each plugin can have its own configuration in `config/config.json`:
```json
{
"clock-simple": {
"enabled": true,
"display_duration": 15,
"color": [255, 255, 255],
"time_format": "12h"
},
"nhl-scores": {
"enabled": true,
"favorite_teams": ["TBL", "FLA"],
"show_favorite_teams_only": true
}
}
```
**Via Web Interface:**
1. Navigate to the "Plugin Manager" tab
2. Click the Configure (⚙️) button next to the plugin
3. Edit the configuration in the form
4. Save changes
5. Restart the display to apply changes
---
## Safety and Security
### Verified vs Unverified Plugins
- **Verified Plugins**: Reviewed by maintainers, follow best practices, no known security issues
- **Unverified Plugins**: User-contributed, not reviewed, install at your own risk
When installing from a custom GitHub URL, you'll see a warning about installing an unverified plugin. The plugin will have access to your display manager, cache manager, configuration files, and network access.
### Best Practices
1. Only install plugins from trusted sources
2. Review plugin code before installing (click "View on GitHub")
3. Keep plugins updated for security patches
4. Report suspicious plugins to maintainers
---
## Troubleshooting
### Plugin Won't Install
**Problem:** Installation fails with "Failed to clone or download repository"
**Solutions:**
- Check that git is installed: `which git`
- Verify the GitHub URL is correct
- Check your internet connection
- The system will automatically try ZIP download as fallback
### Plugin Won't Load
**Problem:** Plugin installed but doesn't appear in rotation
**Solutions:**
1. Check that the plugin is enabled in config: `"enabled": true`
2. Verify manifest.json exists and is valid
3. Check logs for errors: `sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -f`
4. Restart the display service: `sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix`
### Dependencies Failed
**Problem:** "Error installing dependencies" message
**Solutions:**
- Check that pip3 is installed
- Manually install: `pip3 install --break-system-packages -r plugins/plugin-id/requirements.txt`
- Check for conflicting package versions
### Plugin Shows Errors
**Problem:** Plugin loads but shows error message on display
**Solutions:**
1. Check that the plugin configuration is correct
2. Verify API keys are set (if the plugin requires them)
3. Check plugin logs: `sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -f | grep plugin-id`
4. Report the issue to the plugin developer on GitHub
---

## FAQ
**Q: Do I need to restart the display after installing a plugin?**
A: Yes, plugins are loaded when the display controller starts.
**Q: Can I install plugins while the display is running?**
A: Yes, you can install anytime, but you must restart the display to load them.
**Q: What happens if I install a plugin with the same ID as an existing one?**
A: The existing copy will be replaced with the latest code from the repository.
**Q: Can I install multiple versions of the same plugin?**
A: No, each plugin ID maps to a single checkout of the repository's default branch.
**Q: How do I update all plugins at once?**
A: Currently, you need to update each plugin individually. Bulk update is planned for a future release.
**Q: Can plugins access my API keys from config_secrets.json?**
A: Yes, if a plugin needs API keys, it can access them like core managers do.
**Q: How much disk space do plugins use?**
A: Most plugins are small (1-5MB). Check individual plugin documentation for specific requirements.
**Q: Can I create my own plugin?**
A: Yes! See [PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT.md](PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT.md) for instructions.

# Starlark Apps Guide
## Overview
The Starlark Apps plugin for LEDMatrix enables you to run **Tidbyt/Tronbyte community apps** on your LED matrix display without modification. This integration allows you to access hundreds of pre-built widgets and apps from the vibrant Tidbyt community ecosystem.
## Important: Third-Party Content
**⚠️ Apps are NOT managed by the LEDMatrix project**
- Starlark apps are developed and maintained by the **Tidbyt/Tronbyte community**
- LEDMatrix provides the runtime environment but does **not** create, maintain, or support these apps
- All apps originate from the [Tronbyte Apps Repository](https://github.com/tronbyt/apps)
- App quality, functionality, and security are the responsibility of individual app authors
- LEDMatrix is not affiliated with Tidbyt Inc. or the Tronbyte project
## What is Starlark?
[Starlark](https://github.com/bazelbuild/starlark) is a Python-like language originally developed by Google for the Bazel build system. Tidbyt adopted Starlark for building LED display apps because it's:
- **Sandboxed**: Apps run in a safe, restricted environment
- **Simple**: Python-like syntax that's easy to learn
- **Deterministic**: Apps produce consistent output
- **Fast**: Compiled and optimized for performance
## How It Works

```
### Rendering Pipeline
1. **User installs app** from the Tronbyte repository via web UI
2. **Plugin downloads** the `.star` file (and any assets like images/fonts)
3. **Schema extraction** parses configuration options from the `.star` source
4. **User configures** the app through the web UI (timezone, location, API keys, etc.)
5. **Pixlet renders** the app with user config → produces WebP animation
6. **Frame extraction** decodes WebP → individual PIL Image frames
7. **Display scaling** adapts 64x32 Tidbyt output to your matrix size
8. **Rotation** cycles through your installed apps based on schedule
## Getting Started
### 1. Install Pixlet
Pixlet is the rendering engine that executes Starlark apps. The plugin will attempt to use:
1. **Bundled binary** (recommended): Downloaded to `bin/pixlet/pixlet-{platform}-{arch}`
2. **System installation**: If `pixlet` is available in your PATH
#### Auto-Install via Web UI
Navigate to: **Plugin Manager → Starlark Apps tab (in the second nav row) → Status → Install Pixlet**
This runs the bundled installation script which downloads the appropriate binary for your platform.
#### Manual Installation
```bash
cd /path/to/LEDMatrix
bash scripts/download_pixlet.sh
```
Verify installation:
```bash
./bin/pixlet/pixlet-linux-amd64 version
# Pixlet 0.50.2 (or later)
```
### 2. Enable the Starlark Apps Plugin
1. Open the web UI (`http://your-pi-ip:5000`)
2. Open the **Plugin Manager** tab
3. Find **Starlark Apps** in the **Installed Plugins** list
4. Enable the plugin (it then gets its own tab in the second nav row)
5. Configure settings:
- **Magnify**: Auto-calculated based on your display size (or set manually)
- **Render Interval**: How often apps re-render (default: 300s)
- **Display Duration**: How long each app shows (default: 15s)
- **Cache Output**: Enable to reduce re-rendering (recommended)
### 3. Browse and Install Apps
1. Navigate to **Plugin Manager → Starlark Apps tab (in the second nav row) → App Store**
2. Browse available apps (974+ options)
3. Filter by category: Weather, Sports, Finance, Games, Clocks, etc.
4. Click **Install** on desired apps
5. Configure each app:
- Set location/timezone
- Enter API keys if required
- Customize display preferences
### 4. Configure Apps
Each app may have different configuration options:
#### Common Configuration Types
- **Location** (lat/lng/timezone): For weather, clocks, transit
- **API Keys**: For services like weather, stocks, sports scores
- **Display Preferences**: Colors, units, layouts
- **Dropdown Options**: Team selections, language, themes
- **Toggles**: Enable/disable features
Configuration is stored in `starlark-apps/{app-id}/config.json` and persists across app updates.

## Display Size Compatibility
Tronbyte/Tidbyt apps are designed for **64×32 displays**. LEDMatrix automatically adapts content for different display sizes:
### Magnification
The plugin calculates optimal magnification based on your display:
```text
magnify = floor(min(display_width / 64, display_height / 32))
```
Examples:
- **64×32**: magnify = 1 (native, pixel-perfect)
- **128×64**: magnify = 2 (2x scaling, crisp)
- **192×64**: magnify = 2 (2x + horizontal centering)
- **256×64**: magnify = 2 (2x + centering)
### Scaling Modes
**Config → Starlark Apps → Scale Method:**
- `nearest` (default): Sharp pixels, retro look
- `bilinear`: Smooth scaling, slight blur
- `bicubic`: Higher quality smooth scaling
- `lanczos`: Best quality, most processing
**Center vs Scale:**
- `scale_output=true`: Stretch to fill display (may distort aspect ratio)
- `center_small_output=true`: Center output without stretching (preserves aspect ratio)
## Configuration Schema Extraction
LEDMatrix automatically extracts configuration schemas from Starlark apps by parsing the `get_schema()` function in the `.star` source code.
### Supported Field Types
| Starlark Type | Web UI Rendering |
|--------------|------------------|
| `schema.Location` | Lat/Lng/Timezone picker |
| `schema.Text` | Text input field |
| `schema.Toggle` | Checkbox/switch |
| `schema.Dropdown` | Select dropdown |
| `schema.Color` | Color picker |
| `schema.DateTime` | Date/time picker |
| `schema.OAuth2` | Warning message (not supported) |
| `schema.PhotoSelect` | Warning message (not supported) |
| `schema.LocationBased` | Text fallback with note |
| `schema.Typeahead` | Text fallback with note |
### Schema Coverage
- **90-95%** of apps: Full schema support
- **5%**: Partial extraction (complex/dynamic schemas)
- **<1%**: No schema (apps without configuration)
Apps without extracted schemas can still run with default settings.

## API Keys and External Services
Many apps require API keys for external services:
### Common API Services
- **Weather**: OpenWeatherMap, Weather.gov, Dark Sky
- **Sports**: ESPN, The Sports DB, SportsData.io
- **Finance**: Alpha Vantage, CoinGecko, Yahoo Finance
- **Transit**: TransitLand, NextBus, local transit APIs
- **News**: NewsAPI, Reddit, RSS feeds
### Security Note
- API keys are stored in `config.json` files on disk
- The LEDMatrix web interface does NOT encrypt API keys
- Ensure your Raspberry Pi is on a trusted network
- Use read-only or limited-scope API keys when possible
- **Never commit `starlark-apps/*/config.json` to version control**
## Troubleshooting
### Pixlet Not Found
**Symptom**: "Pixlet binary not found" error
**Solutions**:
1. Run auto-installer: **Plugin Manager → Starlark Apps tab (in the second nav row) → Install Pixlet**
2. Manual install: `bash scripts/download_pixlet.sh`
3. Check permissions: `chmod +x bin/pixlet/pixlet-*`
4. Verify architecture: `uname -m` matches binary name
### App Fails to Render
**Symptom**: "Rendering failed" error in logs
**Solutions**:
1. Check logs: `journalctl -u ledmatrix | grep -i pixlet`
2. Verify config: Ensure all required fields are filled
3. Test manually: `./bin/pixlet/pixlet-linux-amd64 render starlark-apps/{app-id}/{app-id}.star`
4. Missing assets: Some apps need images/fonts that may fail to download
5. API issues: Check API keys and rate limits
### Schema Not Extracted
**Symptom**: App installs but shows no configuration options
**Solutions**:
1. App may not have a `get_schema()` function (normal for some apps)
2. Schema extraction failed: Check logs for parse errors
3. Manual config: Edit `starlark-apps/{app-id}/config.json` directly
4. Report issue: File bug with app details at LEDMatrix GitHub
### Apps Show Distorted/Wrong Size
**Symptom**: Content appears stretched, squished, or cropped
**Solutions**:
1. Check magnify setting: **Plugin Manager → Starlark Apps tab (in the second nav row) → Config**
2. Try `center_small_output=true` to preserve aspect ratio
3. Adjust `magnify` manually (1-8) for your display size
4. Some apps assume 64×32 - may not scale perfectly to all sizes
### App Shows Outdated Data
**Symptom**: Weather, sports scores, etc. don't update
**Solutions**:
1. Check render interval: **App Config → Render Interval** (300s default)
2. Force re-render: **Plugin Manager → Starlark Apps tab (in the second nav row) → {App} → Render Now**
3. Clear cache: Restart LEDMatrix service
4. API rate limits: Some services throttle requests
5. Check app logs for API errors
## Performance Considerations
### Render Intervals
- Apps re-render on a schedule (default: 300s = 5 minutes)
- Lower intervals = more CPU/API usage
- Recommended minimums:
- Static content (clocks): 30-60s
- Weather: 300s (5min)
- Sports scores: 60-120s
- Stock tickers: 60s
### Caching
Enable caching to reduce CPU load:
- `cache_rendered_output=true` (recommended)
- `cache_ttl=300` (5 minutes)
Cached WebP files are stored in `starlark-apps/{app-id}/cached_render.webp`
### Display Rotation
Balance number of enabled apps with display duration:
- 5 apps × 15s = 75s full cycle
- 20 apps × 15s = 300s (5 min) cycle
Long cycles may cause apps to render before being displayed.
## Limitations
### Unsupported Features
- **OAuth2 Authentication**: Apps requiring OAuth login won't work
- **PhotoSelect**: Image upload from mobile device not supported
- **Push Notifications**: Apps can't receive real-time events
- **Background Jobs**: No persistent background tasks
### API Rate Limits
Many apps use free API tiers with rate limits:
- Rendering too frequently may exceed limits
- Use appropriate `render_interval` settings
- Consider paid API tiers for heavy usage
### Display Size Constraints
Apps designed for 64×32 may not utilize larger displays fully:
- Content may appear small on 128×64+ displays
- Magnification helps but doesn't add detail
- Some apps hard-code 64×32 dimensions
## Advanced Usage
### Manual App Installation
Upload custom `.star` files:
1. Navigate to **Starlark Apps → Upload**
2. Select `.star` file from disk
3. Configure app ID and metadata
4. Set render/display timing
### Custom App Development
While LEDMatrix runs Tronbyte apps, you can also create your own:
1. **Learn Starlark**: [Tidbyt Developer Docs](https://tidbyt.dev/)
2. **Write `.star` file**: Use Pixlet APIs for rendering
3. **Test locally**: `pixlet render myapp.star`
4. **Upload**: Use LEDMatrix web UI to install
5. **Share**: Contribute to [Tronbyte Apps](https://github.com/tronbyt/apps) repo
### Configuration Reference
**Plugin Config** (`config/config.json``plugins.starlark-apps`):
```json
{
"enabled": true,
"magnify": 0, // 0 = auto, 1-8 = manual
"render_timeout": 30, // Max seconds for Pixlet render

# Troubleshooting Guide
## Quick Diagnosis Steps
Run these checks first to quickly identify common issues:
### 1. Check Service Status
```bash
# Check all LEDMatrix services
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-wifi-monitor
# Check AP mode services (if using WiFi)
sudo systemctl status hostapd
sudo systemctl status dnsmasq
```
**Note:** Look for `active (running)` status and check for error messages in the output.
### 2. View Service Logs
**IMPORTANT:** The web service logs to **syslog**, NOT stdout. Use `journalctl` to view logs:
```bash
# View all recent logs
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -n 50
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-web -n 50
# Follow logs in real-time
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -f
# View logs from last hour
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-web --since "1 hour ago"
# Filter for errors only
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -p err
```
### 3. Run Diagnostic Scripts
```bash
# Web interface diagnostics
bash scripts/diagnose_web_interface.sh
# WiFi setup verification
./scripts/verify_wifi_setup.sh
# Captive portal troubleshooting
./scripts/troubleshoot_captive_portal.sh
```
> Weather is provided by the `ledmatrix-weather` plugin (installed via the
> Plugin Store). To troubleshoot weather, check that plugin's tab in the
> web UI for its API key and recent error messages, then watch the
> **Logs** tab.
### 4. Check Configuration
```bash
# Verify web interface autostart
cat config/config.json | grep web_display_autostart
# Check plugin enabled status
cat config/config.json | grep -A 2 "plugin-id"
# Verify API keys present
ls -l config/config_secrets.json
```
### 5. Test Manual Startup
```bash
# Test web interface manually
python3 web_interface/start.py
# If it works manually but not as a service, check systemd service file
```

**Solutions:**
1. **Install dependencies:**
```bash
pip3 install --break-system-packages -r requirements.txt
pip3 install --break-system-packages -r web_interface/requirements.txt
```
2. **Test imports step-by-step:**
```bash
python3 -c "from src.config_manager import ConfigManager; print('OK')"
python3 -c "from src.plugin_system.plugin_manager import PluginManager; print('OK')"
python3 -c "from web_interface.app import app; print('OK')"
```
3. **Check Python path:**
```bash
python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"
```
#### Port Already in Use
**Symptoms:**
- Error: `Address already in use`
- Service fails to bind to port 5000
**Solutions:**
1. **Check what's using the port:**
```bash
sudo lsof -i :5000
```
2. **Kill the conflicting process:**
```bash
sudo kill -9 <PID>
```
3. **Or change the port in start.py:**
```python
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5051)
```
#### Permission Issues
**Symptoms:**
- `Permission denied` errors in logs
- Cannot read/write configuration files
**Solutions:**
```bash
# Fix ownership of LEDMatrix directory
sudo chown -R ledpi:ledpi /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix
# Fix config file permissions

sudo chmod 640 config/config_secrets.json
# Verify service runs as correct user
sudo systemctl cat ledmatrix-web | grep User
```
#### Flask/Blueprint Import Errors
**Symptoms:**
- `ImportError: cannot import name 'app'`
- `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'blueprints'`
**Solutions:**
1. **Verify file structure:**
```bash
ls -l web_interface/app.py
ls -l web_interface/blueprints/api_v3.py
ls -l web_interface/blueprints/pages_v3.py
```
2. **Check for __init__.py files:**
```bash
ls -l web_interface/__init__.py
ls -l web_interface/blueprints/__init__.py
```
3. **Test import manually:**
```bash
cd /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix
python3 -c "from web_interface.app import app"
```
---
### WiFi & AP Mode Issues
#### AP Mode Not Activating
**Symptoms:**
- WiFi disconnected but AP mode doesn't start
- Cannot find "LEDMatrix-Setup" network
**Solutions:**
1. **Check auto-enable setting:**
```bash
cat config/wifi_config.json | grep auto_enable_ap_mode
# Should show: "auto_enable_ap_mode": true
```
2. **Verify WiFi monitor service is running:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-wifi-monitor
```
3. **Wait for grace period (90 seconds):**
- AP mode requires 3 consecutive disconnected checks at 30-second intervals
- Total wait time: 90 seconds after WiFi disconnects
4. **Check if Ethernet is connected:**
```bash
nmcli device status
# If Ethernet is connected, AP mode won't activate
```
5. **Check required services:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status hostapd
sudo systemctl status dnsmasq
```
6. **Manually enable AP mode:**
```bash
# Via API
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/wifi/ap/enable
# Via Python
python3 -c "
from src.wifi_manager import WiFiManager
wm = WiFiManager()
wm.enable_ap_mode()
"
```
#### Cannot Connect to AP Mode / Connection Refused
**Symptoms:**
- Can see "LEDMatrix-Setup" network but can't connect to web interface
- Browser shows "Connection Refused" or "Can't connect to server"
- AP mode active but web interface not accessible
**Solutions:**
1. **Verify web server is running:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-web
# Should be active (running)
```
2. **Use correct IP address and port:**
- Correct: `http://192.168.4.1:5000`
- NOT: `http://192.168.4.1` (port 80 — nothing listens there)
3. **Check wlan0 has correct IP:**
```bash
ip addr show wlan0
# Should show: inet 192.168.4.1/24
```
4. **Verify hostapd and dnsmasq are running:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status hostapd
sudo systemctl status dnsmasq
```
5. **Test from the Pi itself:**
```bash
curl http://192.168.4.1:5000
# Should return HTML
```
#### DNS Resolution Failures
**Symptoms:**
- Captive portal doesn't redirect automatically
- DNS lookups fail when connected to AP mode
**Solutions:**
1. **Check dnsmasq status:**
```bash
sudo systemctl status dnsmasq
sudo journalctl -u dnsmasq -n 20
```
2. **Verify DNS configuration:**
```bash
cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf | grep -v "^#" | grep -v "^$"
```
3. **Test DNS resolution:**
```bash
nslookup captive.apple.com
# Should resolve to 192.168.4.1 when in AP mode
```
4. **Manual captive portal testing:**
- Try these URLs manually:
- `http://192.168.4.1:5000`
- `http://captive.apple.com`
- `http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204`
#### Firewall Blocking Port 5000
**Symptoms:**
- Services running but cannot connect
- Works from Pi but not from other devices
**Solutions:**
1. **Check UFW status:**
```bash
sudo ufw status
```
2. **Allow port 5000:**
```bash
sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp
```
3. **Check iptables:**
```bash
sudo iptables -L -n
```
4. **Temporarily disable firewall to test:**
```bash
sudo ufw disable
# Test if it works, then re-enable and add rule
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 5000/tcp
```

```bash
cat plugins/plugin-id/manifest.json
# Verify all required fields present
```
3. **Check dependencies installed:**
```bash
if [ -f plugins/plugin-id/requirements.txt ]; then
pip3 install --break-system-packages -r plugins/plugin-id/requirements.txt
fi
```
4. **Check logs for plugin errors:**
```bash
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -f | grep plugin-id
```
5. **Test plugin import:**
```bash
python3 -c "
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'plugins/plugin-id')
from manager import PluginClass
print('Plugin imports successfully')
"
```
#### Stale Cache Data
**Symptoms:**
- Plugin shows old data
- Data doesn't update even after restarting
- Clearing cache in web interface doesn't help
**Solutions:**
1. **Manual cache clearing:**
```bash
# Remove plugin-specific cache
rm -rf cache/plugin-id*
# Or remove all cache
rm -rf cache/*
# Restart display
sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix
```
2. **Check cache permissions:**
```bash
ls -ld cache/
sudo chown -R ledpi:ledpi cache/
```

# Web Interface Guide
## Overview
The LEDMatrix web interface provides a complete control panel for managing your LED matrix display. Access all features through a modern, responsive web interface that works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
---
## Quick Start
### Accessing the Interface
1. Find your Raspberry Pi's IP address:
```bash
hostname -I
```
2. Open a web browser and navigate to:
```
http://your-pi-ip:5000
```
3. The interface will load with the Overview tab displaying system stats and a live display preview.
**Note:** If the interface doesn't load, verify the web service is running:
```bash
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-web
```
---
## Navigation
The interface uses a two-row tab layout. The system tabs are always
present:
- **Overview** — System stats, quick actions, live display preview
- **General** — Timezone, location, plugin-system settings
- **WiFi** — Network selection and AP-mode setup
- **Schedule** — Power and dim schedules
- **Display** — Matrix hardware configuration (rows, cols, hardware
mapping, GPIO slowdown, brightness, PWM)
- **Config Editor** — Raw `config.json` editor with validation
- **Fonts** — Upload and manage fonts
- **Logs** — Real-time log streaming
- **Cache** — Cached data inspection and cleanup
- **Operation History** — Recent service operations
A second nav row holds plugin tabs:
- **Plugin Manager** — browse the **Plugin Store** section, install
plugins from GitHub, enable/disable installed plugins
- **&lt;plugin-id&gt;** — one tab per installed plugin for its own
configuration form (auto-generated from the plugin's
`config_schema.json`)
---
## Features and Usage
### Overview Tab
The Overview tab provides at-a-glance information and quick actions:
**System Stats:**
- CPU usage and temperature
- Memory usage
- Disk usage
- Network status
**Quick Actions** (verified in `web_interface/templates/v3/partials/overview.html`):
- **Start Display** / **Stop Display** — control the display service
- **Restart Display Service** — apply configuration changes
- **Restart Web Service** — restart the web UI itself
- **Update Code** — `git pull` the latest version (stashes local changes)
- **Reboot System** / **Shutdown System** — confirm-gated power controls
**Display Preview:**
- Live preview of what's currently shown on the LED matrix
- Updates in real-time
- Useful for remote monitoring
### General Tab
Configure basic system settings:
- **Timezone** — used by all time/date displays
- **Location** — city/state/country for weather and other location-aware
plugins
- **Plugin System Settings** — including the `plugins_directory` (default
`plugin-repos/`) used by the plugin loader
- **Autostart** options for the display service
Click **Save** to write changes to `config/config.json`. Most changes
require a display service restart from **Overview**.
### Display Tab
Configure your LED matrix hardware:
**Matrix configuration:**
- `rows` — LED rows (typically 32 or 64)
- `cols` — LED columns (typically 64 or 96)
- `chain_length` — number of horizontally chained panels
- `parallel` — number of parallel chains
- `hardware_mapping` — `adafruit-hat-pwm` (with PWM jumper mod),
`adafruit-hat` (without), `regular`, or `regular-pi1`
- `gpio_slowdown` — must match your Pi model (3 for Pi 3, 4 for Pi 4, etc.)
- `brightness` — 0100%
- `pwm_bits`, `pwm_lsb_nanoseconds`, `pwm_dither_bits` — PWM tuning
- Dynamic Duration — global cap for plugins that extend their display
time based on content
Changes require **Restart Display Service** from the Overview tab.
### Plugin Manager Tab
The Plugin Manager has three main sections:
1. **Installed Plugins** — toggle installed plugins on/off, see version
info. Each installed plugin also gets its own tab in the second nav
row for its configuration form.
2. **Plugin Store** — browse plugins from the official
`ledmatrix-plugins` registry. Click **Install** to fetch and
install. Filter by category and search.
3. **Install from GitHub** — install third-party plugins by pasting a
GitHub repository URL. **Install Single Plugin** for a single-plugin
repo, **Load Registry** for a multi-plugin monorepo.
When a plugin is installed and enabled:
- A new tab for that plugin appears in the second nav row
- Open the tab to edit its config (auto-generated form from
`config_schema.json`)
- The tab also exposes **Run On-Demand** / **Stop On-Demand** controls
to render that plugin immediately, even if it's disabled in the
rotation
### Per-plugin Configuration Tabs
Each installed plugin has its own tab in the second nav row. The form
fields are auto-generated from the plugin's `config_schema.json`, so
options always match the plugin's current code.
To temporarily run a plugin outside the normal rotation, use the
**Run On-Demand** / **Stop On-Demand** buttons inside its tab. This
works even when the plugin is disabled.
### Fonts Tab
Manage fonts for your display:
**Upload Fonts:**
- Drag and drop font files (.ttf, .otf, .bdf)
- Upload multiple files at once
- Progress indicator shows upload status
**Font Catalog:**
- View all available fonts
- See font previews
- Check font sizes and styles
**Plugin Font Overrides:**
- Set custom fonts for specific plugins
- Override default font choices
- Preview font changes
**Delete Fonts:**
- Remove unused fonts
- Free up disk space
### Logs Tab
View real-time system logs:
**Log Viewer:**
- Streaming logs from the display service
- Auto-scroll to latest entries
- Timestamps for each log entry
**Filtering:**
- Filter by log level (INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
- Search for specific text
- Filter by plugin or component
**Actions:**
- **Clear**: Clear the current view
- **Download**: Download logs for offline analysis
- **Pause**: Pause auto-scrolling

## API Access
The web interface is built on a REST API that you can access programmatically:
**API Base URL:**
```
http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3
```
The API blueprint mounts at `/api/v3` (see
`web_interface/app.py:144`). All endpoints below are relative to that
base.
**Common Endpoints:**
- `GET /api/v3/config/main` — Get main configuration
- `POST /api/v3/config/main` — Update main configuration
- `GET /api/v3/system/status` — Get system status
- `POST /api/v3/system/action` — Control display (start/stop/restart, reboot, etc.)
- `GET /api/v3/plugins/installed` — List installed plugins
- `POST /api/v3/plugins/install` — Install a plugin from the store
- `POST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url` — Install a plugin from a GitHub URL
**Note:** See [REST_API_REFERENCE.md](REST_API_REFERENCE.md) for complete API documentation.

---
## Security Considerations
**Network Access:**
- The interface is accessible to anyone on your local network
- No authentication is currently implemented
- Recommended for trusted networks only
**Best Practices:**
1. Run on a private network (not exposed to internet)
2. Use a firewall to restrict access if needed
3. Consider VPN access for remote control
4. Keep the system updated
---
## Technical Details
### Architecture
The web interface uses modern web technologies:
- **Backend:** Flask with Blueprint-based modular design
- **Frontend:** HTMX for dynamic content, Alpine.js for reactive components
- **Styling:** Tailwind CSS for responsive design
- **Real-Time:** Server-Sent Events (SSE) for live updates
### File Locations
**Configuration:**
- Main config: `/config/config.json`
- Secrets: `/config/config_secrets.json`
- WiFi config: `/config/wifi_config.json`
**Logs:**
- Display service: `sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix -f`
- Web service: `sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-web -f`
**Plugins:**
- Plugin directory: configurable via
`plugin_system.plugins_directory` in `config.json` (default
`plugin-repos/`). Main plugin discovery only scans this directory;
the Plugin Store install flow and the schema loader additionally
probe `plugins/` so dev symlinks created by
`scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh` keep working.
- Plugin config: `/config/config.json` (per-plugin sections)

# WiFi Network Setup Guide
## Overview
The LEDMatrix WiFi system provides automatic network configuration with intelligent failover to Access Point (AP) mode. When your Raspberry Pi loses network connectivity, it automatically creates a WiFi access point for easy configuration—ensuring you can always connect to your device.
### Key Features
- **Automatic AP Mode**: Creates a WiFi access point when network connection is lost
- **Intelligent Failover**: Only activates after a grace period to prevent false positives
- **Dual Connectivity**: Supports both WiFi and Ethernet with automatic priority management
- **Web Interface**: Configure WiFi through an easy-to-use web interface
- **Network Scanning**: Scan and connect to available WiFi networks
- **Secure Storage**: WiFi credentials stored securely
---
## Quick Start
### Accessing WiFi Setup
**If not connected to WiFi:**
1. Wait 90 seconds after boot (AP mode activation grace period)
2. Connect to WiFi network **LEDMatrix-Setup** (default password
`ledmatrix123` — change it in `config/wifi_config.json` if you want
an open network or a different password)
3. Open browser to: `http://192.168.4.1:5000`
4. Open the **WiFi** tab
5. Scan, select your network, and connect
**If already connected:**
1. Open browser to: `http://your-pi-ip:5000`
2. Navigate to the WiFi tab
3. Configure as needed
---
## Installation
### Prerequisites
The following packages are required:
- **hostapd** - Access point software
- **dnsmasq** - DHCP server for AP mode
- **NetworkManager** - WiFi management
### Install WiFi Monitor Service
```bash
cd /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix
sudo ./scripts/install/install_wifi_monitor.sh
```
This script will:
- Check for required packages and offer to install them
- Create the systemd service file
- Enable and start the WiFi monitor service
- Configure the service to start on boot
### Verify Installation
```bash
# Check service status
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-wifi-monitor
# Run verification script
./scripts/verify_wifi_setup.sh
```
---
## Configuration
### Configuration File
WiFi settings are stored in `config/wifi_config.json`:
```json
{
"ap_ssid": "LEDMatrix-Setup",
"ap_password": "ledmatrix123",
"ap_channel": 7,
"auto_enable_ap_mode": true,
"saved_networks": [
{
"ssid": "YourNetwork",
"password": "your-password",
"saved_at": 1234567890.0
}
]
}
```
### Configuration Options
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| `ap_ssid` | `LEDMatrix-Setup` | Network name broadcast in AP mode |
| `ap_password` | `ledmatrix123` | AP password. Set to `""` to make the network open (no password). |
| `ap_channel` | `7` | WiFi channel (1, 6, or 11 are non-overlapping) |
| `auto_enable_ap_mode` | `true` | Automatically enable AP mode when both WiFi and Ethernet are disconnected |
| `saved_networks` | `[]` | Array of saved WiFi credentials |
### Auto-Enable AP Mode Behavior
**When enabled (`true` - recommended):**
- AP mode activates automatically after 90-second grace period
- Only when both WiFi AND Ethernet are disconnected
- Automatically disables when either WiFi or Ethernet connects
- Best for portable devices or unreliable network environments
**When disabled (`false`):**
- AP mode must be manually enabled through web interface
- Prevents unnecessary AP activation
- Best for devices with stable network connections
---
## Using WiFi Setup
### Connecting to a WiFi Network
**Via Web Interface:**
1. Navigate to the **WiFi** tab
2. Click **Scan** to search for networks
3. Select a network from the dropdown (or enter SSID manually)
4. Enter the WiFi password (leave empty for open networks)
5. Click **Connect**
6. System will attempt connection
7. AP mode automatically disables once connected
**Via API:**
```bash
# Scan for networks
curl "http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/wifi/scan"
# Connect to network
curl -X POST http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/wifi/connect \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ssid": "YourNetwork", "password": "your-password"}'
```
### Manual AP Mode Control
**Via Web Interface:**
- **Enable AP Mode**: Click "Enable AP Mode" button (only when WiFi/Ethernet disconnected)
- **Disable AP Mode**: Click "Disable AP Mode" button (when AP is active)
**Via API:**
```bash
# Enable AP mode
curl -X POST http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/wifi/ap/enable
# Disable AP mode
curl -X POST http://your-pi-ip:5000/api/v3/wifi/ap/disable
```
**Note:** Manual enable still requires both WiFi and Ethernet to be disconnected.
---
## Understanding AP Mode Failover
### How the Grace Period Works
The system uses a **grace period mechanism** to prevent false positives from temporary network hiccups:
```
Check Interval: 30 seconds (default)
Required Checks: 3 consecutive
Grace Period: 90 seconds total
```
**Timeline Example:**
```
Time 0s: WiFi disconnects
Time 30s: Check 1 - Disconnected (counter = 1)
Time 60s: Check 2 - Disconnected (counter = 2)
Time 90s: Check 3 - Disconnected (counter = 3) → AP MODE ENABLED
```
If WiFi or Ethernet reconnects at any point, the counter resets to 0.
### Why Grace Period is Important
Without a grace period, AP mode would activate during:
- Brief network hiccups
- Router reboots
- Temporary signal interference
- NetworkManager reconnection attempts
The 90-second grace period ensures AP mode only activates during **sustained disconnection**.
### Connection Priority
The system checks connections in this order:
1. **WiFi Connection** (highest priority)
2. **Ethernet Connection** (fallback)
3. **AP Mode** (last resort - only when both WiFi and Ethernet disconnected)
### Behavior Summary
| WiFi Status | Ethernet Status | Auto-Enable | AP Mode Behavior |
|-------------|-----------------|-------------|------------------|
| Any | Any | `false` | Manual enable only |
| Connected | Any | `true` | Disabled |
| Disconnected | Connected | `true` | Disabled (Ethernet available) |
| Disconnected | Disconnected | `true` | Auto-enabled after 90s |
---
## Access Point Configuration
### AP Mode Settings
- **SSID**: `LEDMatrix-Setup` (configurable via `ap_ssid`)
- **Network**: WPA2, default password `ledmatrix123` (configurable via
`ap_password` — set to `""` for an open network)
- **IP Address**: 192.168.4.1
- **DHCP Range**: 192.168.4.2 192.168.4.20
- **Channel**: 7 (configurable via `ap_channel`)
### Accessing Services in AP Mode
When AP mode is active:
- Web Interface: `http://192.168.4.1:5000`
- SSH: `ssh ledpi@192.168.4.1`
- Captive portal may automatically redirect browsers
---
## Best Practices
### Security Recommendations
**1. Change AP Password (Optional):**
```json
{
"ap_password": "your-strong-password"
}
```
**Note:** The default password is `ledmatrix123` for easy initial
setup. Change it for any deployment in a public area, or set
`ap_password` to `""` if you specifically want an open network.
**2. Use Non-Overlapping WiFi Channels:**
- Channels 1, 6, 11 are non-overlapping (2.4GHz)
- Choose a channel that doesn't conflict with your primary network
- Example: If primary uses channel 1, use channel 11 for AP mode
**3. Secure WiFi Credentials:**
```bash
sudo chmod 600 config/wifi_config.json
```
### Network Configuration Tips
**Save Multiple Networks:**
```json
{
"saved_networks": [
{
"ssid": "Home-Network",
"password": "home-password"
},
{
"ssid": "Office-Network",
"password": "office-password"
}
]
}
```
**Adjust Check Interval:**
Edit the systemd service file to change grace period:
```bash
sudo systemctl edit ledmatrix-wifi-monitor
```
Add:
```ini
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/LEDMatrix/scripts/utils/wifi_monitor_daemon.py --interval 20
```
**Note:** Interval affects grace period:
- 20-second interval = 60-second grace period (3 × 20)
- 30-second interval = 90-second grace period (3 × 30) ← Default
- 60-second interval = 180-second grace period (3 × 60)
---
## Configuration Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Portable Device with Auto-Failover (Recommended)
**Use Case:** Device may lose WiFi connection
**Configuration:**
```json
{
"auto_enable_ap_mode": true
}
```
**Behavior:**
- AP mode activates automatically after 90 seconds of disconnection
- Always provides a way to connect
- Best for devices that move or have unreliable WiFi
### Scenario 2: Stable Network Connection
**Use Case:** Ethernet or reliable WiFi connection
**Configuration:**
```json
{
"auto_enable_ap_mode": false
}
```
**Behavior:**
- AP mode must be manually enabled
- Prevents unnecessary activation
- Best for stationary devices with stable connections
### Scenario 3: Ethernet Primary with WiFi Backup
**Use Case:** Primary Ethernet, WiFi as backup
**Configuration:**
```json
{
"auto_enable_ap_mode": true
}
```
**Behavior:**
- Ethernet connection prevents AP mode activation
- If Ethernet disconnects, WiFi is attempted
- If both disconnect, AP mode activates after grace period
- Best for devices with both Ethernet and WiFi
---
## Troubleshooting
### AP Mode Not Activating
**Check 1: Auto-Enable Setting**
```bash
cat config/wifi_config.json | grep auto_enable_ap_mode
```
Should show `"auto_enable_ap_mode": true`
**Check 2: Service Status**
```bash
sudo systemctl status ledmatrix-wifi-monitor
```
Service should be `active (running)`
**Check 3: Grace Period**
- Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnection
- Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-wifi-monitor -f`
**Check 4: Ethernet Connection**
- If Ethernet is connected, AP mode won't activate
- Verify: `nmcli device status`
- Disconnect Ethernet to test AP mode
**Check 5: Required Packages**
```bash
# Verify hostapd is installed
which hostapd
# Verify dnsmasq is installed
which dnsmasq
```
### Cannot Access AP Mode
**Check 1: AP Mode Active**
```bash
sudo systemctl status hostapd
sudo systemctl status dnsmasq
```
Both should be running
**Check 2: Network Interface**
```bash
ip addr show wlan0
```
Should show IP `192.168.4.1`
**Check 3: WiFi Interface Available**
```bash
ip link show wlan0
```
Interface should exist
**Check 4: Try Manual Enable**
- Use web interface: WiFi tab → Enable AP Mode
- Or via API: `curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/v3/wifi/ap/enable`
### Cannot Connect to WiFi Network
**Check 1: Verify Credentials**
- Ensure SSID and password are correct
- Check for hidden networks (manual SSID entry required)
**Check 2: Check Logs**
```bash
# WiFi monitor logs
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-wifi-monitor -f
# NetworkManager logs
sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager -n 50
```
**Check 3: Network Compatibility**
- Verify network is 2.4GHz (5GHz may not be supported on all Pi models)
- Check if network requires special authentication
### AP Mode Not Disabling After WiFi Connect
**Check 1: WiFi Connection Status**
```bash
nmcli device status
```
**Check 2: Manually Disable**
- Use web interface: WiFi tab → Disable AP Mode
- Or restart service: `sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-wifi-monitor`
**Check 3: Check Logs**
```bash
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-wifi-monitor -n 50
```
### AP Mode Activating Unexpectedly
**Check 1: Network Stability**
- Verify WiFi connection is stable
- Check router status
- Check signal strength
**Check 2: Disable Auto-Enable**
```bash
nano config/wifi_config.json
# Change: "auto_enable_ap_mode": false
sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-wifi-monitor
```
**Check 3: Increase Grace Period**
- Edit service file to increase check interval
- Longer interval = longer grace period
- See "Best Practices" section above
---
## Monitoring and Diagnostics
### Check WiFi Status
**Via Python:**
```python
from src.wifi_manager import WiFiManager
wm = WiFiManager()
status = wm.get_wifi_status()
print(f'Connected: {status.connected}')
print(f'SSID: {status.ssid}')
print(f'IP Address: {status.ip_address}')
print(f'AP Mode Active: {status.ap_mode_active}')
print(f'Auto-Enable: {wm.config.get("auto_enable_ap_mode", False)}')
```
**Via NetworkManager:**
```bash
# View device status
nmcli device status
# View connections
nmcli connection show
# View available WiFi networks
nmcli device wifi list
```
### View Service Logs
```bash
# Real-time logs
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-wifi-monitor -f
# Recent logs (last 50 lines)
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-wifi-monitor -n 50
# Logs from specific time
sudo journalctl -u ledmatrix-wifi-monitor --since "1 hour ago"
```
### Run Verification Script
```bash
cd /home/ledpi/LEDMatrix
./scripts/verify_wifi_setup.sh
```
Checks:
- Required packages installed
- WiFi monitor service running
- Configuration files valid
- WiFi interface available

## Technical Details
### WiFi Monitor Daemon
The WiFi monitor daemon (`wifi_monitor_daemon.py`) runs as a background service that:
1. Checks WiFi and Ethernet connection status every 30 seconds (configurable)
2. Maintains disconnected check counter for grace period
3. Automatically enables AP mode when:
- `auto_enable_ap_mode` is enabled AND
- Both WiFi and Ethernet disconnected AND
- Grace period elapsed (3 consecutive checks)
4. Automatically disables AP mode when WiFi or Ethernet connects
5. Logs all state changes
### WiFi Detection Methods
The WiFi manager tries multiple methods:
1. **NetworkManager (nmcli)** - Preferred method
2. **iwconfig** - Fallback for systems without NetworkManager
### Network Scanning Methods
1. **nmcli** - Fast, preferred method
2. **iwlist** - Fallback for older systems
### Access Point Implementation
- Uses `hostapd` for WiFi access point functionality
- Uses `dnsmasq` for DHCP and DNS services
- Configures wlan0 interface with IP 192.168.4.1
- Provides DHCP range: 192.168.4.2-20
- Captive portal with DNS redirection
