2a1c47fa76 chore: remove dead modules and unused dependencies (~1,180 LOC) (#412)
* chore: remove dead modules and unused dependencies (~1,180 LOC)

Deletions, each re-verified with a fresh repo-wide grep (core, web,
scripts, docs, plugin monorepo) immediately before removal:

Modules with zero live importers:
- src/background_cache_mixin.py + src/generic_cache_mixin.py (134+150
  LOC — referenced only by each other)
- src/font_test_manager.py (134 LOC)
- src/image_utils.py (22 LOC, self-documented deprecated)
- src/layout_manager.py (408 LOC — only its own test imported it) +
  test/test_layout_manager.py
- src/common/basketball_plugin_example.py (328 LOC sample)

requirements.txt entries with zero importers in core (pre-plugin-era
manager deps): icalevents, geopy, timezonefinder, unidecode. Plus the
google-auth trio (google-auth-oauthlib, google-auth-httplib2,
google-api-python-client): their only importer is the calendar PLUGIN,
which declares all three in its own requirements.txt (verified in the
monorepo and on an installed copy) — the plugin dependency installer
owns them. Existing venvs are unaffected (removal doesn't uninstall);
fresh installs get them when calendar is installed.

Two stale references cleaned (a comment in test_pillow_compat.py, a
directory listing in HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS.md). Full suite green except the
two documented pre-existing failures (circuit_breaker mock drift, fixed
in #400; clock-simple 64x32 overflow, pre-dates this series); all core
entry modules verified importing cleanly under the emulator.

* fix: remove content accidentally bundled into the dead-code-removal commit

The previous commit's git add/commit swept in a lot of unrelated,
unreviewed work alongside the intended dead-code deletions: a new Plugin
Composer web UI, new security-audit/CI tooling, a new march-madness
plugin, and 23 local-development-only symlinks under plugin-repos/ (per
scripts/setup_plugin_repos.py's own docstring, these are meant to be
generated locally, never committed -- .gitignore has no entry for them,
which is how they slipped in).

Removed here, split into their own PRs instead (except plugin-repos/*
symlinks and march-madness/ncaa_logos, which are dropped rather than
carried forward -- see PR discussion):
- web_interface/blueprints/composer.py + composer-app.js +
  composer-canvas.js + composer.html + manager.py.j2
- scripts/prove_security.py, audit_plugins.py, generate_report.py
- .github/workflows/security-audit.yml, .github/workflows/tests.yml,
  bandit.yaml
- All plugin-repos/* symlinks (local dev artifacts, not meant to be
  committed at all)
- plugin-repos/march-madness/* and the 4 new assets/sports/ncaa_logos/*
  PNGs it needed (left out of every split PR pending a decision on
  whether march-madness belongs in the core repo or the plugin monorepo)

This PR now contains only what its title describes: the dead-code
removal from the previous commit, untouched.

LEDMatrix Documentation

This directory contains guides, references, and architectural notes for the LEDMatrix project. If you are setting up a Pi for the first time, start with the project root README — it covers hardware, OS imaging, and the one-shot installer. The pages here go deeper.

I'm a new user

  1. GETTING_STARTED.md — first-time setup walkthrough
  2. WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md — using the web UI
  3. PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md — installing and managing plugins
  4. WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP.md — WiFi and AP-mode setup
  5. TROUBLESHOOTING.md — common issues and fixes
  6. SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL.md — recovering SSH after install
  7. CONFIG_DEBUGGING.md — diagnosing config problems

I want to write a plugin

Start here:

  1. PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md — end-to-end workflow
  2. PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md — cheat sheet
  3. PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md — display, cache, and plugin-manager APIs
  4. PLUGIN_ERROR_HANDLING.md — error-handling patterns
  5. DEV_PREVIEW.md — preview plugins on your dev machine without a Pi
  6. EMULATOR_SETUP_GUIDE.md — running the matrix emulator

Archive

docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and git history but should not be relied on.

Contributing to the docs

  • Markdown only, professional tone, minimal emoji.
  • Prefer adding to an existing page over creating a new one. If you add a new page, link it from this index in the section it belongs to.
  • If a page becomes obsolete, move it to docs/archive/ rather than deleting it, so links don't rot.
  • Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
