Three new hardware-free modules holding code the scoreboard plugins carry as identical copies (executable AST, docstrings stripped, checked across every carrying plugin at ledmatrix-plugins 30455671). The bodies are the plugins'; the changes are type annotations for the mypy ratchet, the colour helpers losing their leading underscore as public free functions, and two comments that described the plugins' files. - src/common/sports_celebration.py: SportsCelebrationMixin, the score/win takeover drawn by afl, football, hockey, nrl and soccer (_draw_celebration_layout and the palette, backdrop, scenery, confetti, crest and _fit_font steps, with their class constants), plus the colour helpers (logo_palette, lift_color, cap_luminance, mix_color, ...). Only the drawing: _start_celebration, _check_for_goal/_check_for_score, _check_for_win and display() differ between the plugins and stay there. - src/common/sports_fetch.py: SportsFetchMixin, the four SportsCore methods identical in all nine scoreboards: _fetch_season_directly, _background_fetches_espn_ranges, _needs_previous_day and _wants_live_odds, with _LOOKBACK_CUTOFF_HOUR and _LIVE_ODDS_LOOKAHEAD. _get_timezone, _extract_game_details and _fetch_data are as identical and stay behind, for the reasons sports_shared gives (a per-plugin import; the abstract contract); so does SportsUpcoming.__init__, since no src/common mixin has a constructor. - src/common/sports_card_wrappers.py: SportsCardWrappersMixin, the seventeen sports_card delegations the eight game renderers carry (15 in all eight, 2 in all but football, whose own versions override them). _schema_font_size/_resolve_font_size look identical but read each plugin's own _SCHEMA_PATH, so they stay. Each mixin has no __init__ and creates no attributes (the host contract is declared as annotations only), defines no name the mixins beside it define, and documents the attributes it reads; a host-contract test parses each and fails on an undocumented read. A method kept on a plugin's class wins over the mixin's. Tests: behaviour ported from the plugins' celebration, odds, lookback and date-range tests against stub hosts carrying exactly the contract, with crests drawn by the test (test_sports_celebration.py, test_sports_fetch.py, test_sports_card_wrappers.py), and test_sports_stage3_parity.py, which with LEDMATRIX_PLUGINS set compares every body with every plugin copy that is left (58 pass against the plugins today; a copy that is gone counts as adopted). All three modules are on the mypy ratchet, in src/common/README.md, the CHANGELOG's Unreleased section and SPORTS_UNIFICATION's module table. Nothing in core uses them yet. Full suite: the same 67 failing test ids as main (Windows-only), 77 more passing. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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, delete it (it stays in the repository
history) and fix the links to it;
test/test_doc_links.pyfails on broken relative links. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
