ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 1fe7237799 refactor(install): generate the web sudoers rules in one place (#622)
* refactor(install): generate the web sudoers rules in one place

/etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web was written by two copies of the same
allow-list: a heredoc in first_time_install.sh Step 10 and a block of
echo lines in scripts/install/configure_web_sudo.sh. They drifted before
(safe_pip_install.sh was granted by one only), and a test existed just
to catch that.

Both now call web_sudoers_rules() from the new
scripts/install/lib_sudoers.sh and keep their own validate (visudo -c),
install and confirm flows.

- first_time_install.sh output is byte-for-byte unchanged, so a device
  re-running the installer gets "already up to date". If the library is
  missing, Step 10 keeps the installed file and carries on, the same way
  it handles rules that fail visudo (an empty file would pass visudo).
- configure_web_sudo.sh now writes the installer's layout: same 18 rules,
  different comments and order. It still leaves out reboot, poweroff and
  journalctl when they are missing; the library does that for both.

The drift test now pins the generator's grants, checks that neither
installer writes rules of its own, and runs each installer's call line
to check the argument order. Tests that read the rule text now read the
library.

* refactor(install): detect the web service user in one function

first_time_install.sh pasted the same WEB_SERVICE_USER detection block
three times (Step 3.1's fallback, the plugin-repos setup and Step 11).
The copies were identical apart from comments; they now call
detect_web_service_user(), whose body is that block unchanged.

Behaviour is the same: the function sets the same global and always
returns 0, as the inline if-chain did. Checked on Linux against all
three original copies across 13 layouts (installed unit with and without
User=, the repo as shipped, each grep branch, template placeholders).

The comment notes that the install_web_service.sh / install_service.sh
greps no longer match anything, so until Step 8 installs the unit the
result is "root". That behaviour is left as it was.

"""Guards that every privileged systemctl call the web interface makes is
covered by a passwordless-sudo grant in scripts/install/lib_sudoers.sh, which
both first_time_install.sh and configure_web_sudo.sh write the rules from.
The web interface runs headless (no TTY), so any `sudo` call that is not
matched by a NOPASSWD rule in /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web falls back to a
password prompt and fails with:
sudo: a terminal is required to read the password
sudo matches the command line by exact string, so `systemctl start ledmatrix`
and `systemctl start ledmatrix.service` are NOT interchangeable. This test
parses both the production blueprint and the sudoers-generator script and
asserts the (verb, unit) pairs line up, catching the suffix-mismatch class of
bug before it ships.
