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

"""Refresh the installed LEDMatrix systemd units from the checkout's templates.
Installed by scripts/install/install_service.sh as a root-owned copy,
/usr/local/sbin/ledmatrix-refresh-units, and granted to the web interface's
user by /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web (scripts/install/lib_sudoers.sh) with
exactly two command lines:
ledmatrix-refresh-units (no arguments)
ledmatrix-refresh-units --restore
An update (Update Code, or the weekly automatic update) pulls new unit
templates into systemd/, but the units systemd runs are the copies in
/etc/systemd/system, which only the installer used to write. So a setting
added to a template -- the render-loop watchdog, a memory limit -- never
reached a device that was already installed. After an update the web
interface runs this, and the next restart picks the new units up.
* **No arguments:** render each installed unit from systemd/<unit> exactly as
install_service.sh does (__PROJECT_ROOT_DIR__ and __USER__ replaced
literally), and install the ones whose content differs (comments and blank
lines aside, as src/startup_validator.py compares them), then
``systemctl daemon-reload``. The units replaced are saved first, so the
automatic update's rollback can put them back.
* ``--restore``: put back the units the last refresh replaced, and
daemon-reload. Nothing saved means nothing to do.
* ``--check``: print the units that would change, one per line. Needs no
root and changes nothing.
What it trusts, and why. It takes no other input: the project directory and
the web interface's user come from the installed, root-owned
ledmatrix.service and ledmatrix-web.service, not from the caller, and sudo
strips the caller's environment (``-I`` ignores the PYTHON* variables too).
It only replaces units that are already installed, only the four
install_service.sh installs, and only with a rendering that keeps each unit's
User= (root for the display, the web user for the others) and
WorkingDirectory=. The templates are files the web user can edit -- but so is
run.py, which ledmatrix.service already runs as root, so a template grants
nothing that user did not have; the checks keep a damaged or hostile template
from changing who a unit runs as, and keep this from reading anything but a
regular file under the checkout's systemd/ folder.
Standard library only, and no imports from the checkout: the installed copy
must not run code the web user can change.
