* chore(scripts): delete unreferenced helper scripts None of these is referenced by an installer, systemd unit, CI workflow, test, the web UI or src/: - utils/cleanup_venv.sh removes venv_web_v2, which nothing creates - utils/clear_python_cache.sh hardcodes ~/LEDMatrix and a .webassets-cache nothing uses - install/migrate_config.sh only copies the template, which the installer and ConfigManager already do - install/debug_install.sh, debug/debug_web_manual.py - diagnose_web_ui.sh and verify_web_ui.sh overlap diagnose_web_interface.sh, which the docs point to - fix_internet_connectivity.sh is iptables-only (stale on nftables) - diagnose_plugin_permissions.sh, dev/validate_python.py - download_nba_logos.py + README_NBA_LOGOS.md: logo_downloader fetches logos on demand - setup_plugin_repos.py linked into the production plugin-repos/ dir; the dev workflow is scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh, and MULTI_ROOT_WORKSPACE_SETUP.md now uses it Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(config): drop unused plugin_system flags and a dead unit comment - config.template.json: remove plugin_system.auto_discover, auto_load_enabled and development_mode. Nothing reads them; the web UI only stores them when a client sends them. ConfigManager's migration only adds template keys, so existing configs keep theirs unchanged. - config.template.json: re-indent vegas_scroll's live_* keys. - systemd/ledmatrix.service: remove the comment documenting LEDMATRIX_ON_DEMAND_PLUGIN / on_demand_env.conf; nothing reads either. - CONFIG_REFERENCE.md: say the legacy keys are no longer in the template. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: delete docs/archive and PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - docs/archive/: superseded guides; the repository history keeps them and no live doc links into the directory. The one open document in it, WEB_UI_AUDIT_2026-09.md, moves to docs/audits/ and is linked from the docs index. - PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md invented usage statistics, called v2.0.0 current, listed shipped auto-updates as future work and documented a BasePlugin.get_config() that does not exist. - docs/README.md: drop both, and stop telling contributors to archive obsolete pages instead of deleting them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(plugin-api): fix extra_small_font size, cache metric key and scroll pacing example - PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE: extra_small_font loads at 7, not 6 (crisp_size snaps it, src/display_manager.py); get_cache_metrics() returns cache_hit_rate, not hit_rate (src/cache/cache_metrics.py). - ADVANCED_PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT: the basic scrolling example slept in a loop and never passed frame_hold; use ScrollHelper + scroll_config.configure() and set_scrolling_state(True, frame_hold=...) as PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(plugin-config): match the config tab, icon and web-action docs to the code - PLUGIN_CONFIG_QUICK_START / PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_TABS / PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE: there is no "Reset to Defaults" button (the tab has Refresh, Update, Uninstall, Save Configuration); plugin config hot-reloads (ConfigService + on_config_change), so no restart; the schema is found by the fixed name config_schema.json, not a manifest config_schema field; the tab row is "Plugin Manager", not "Plugins"; forms are server-rendered from /v3/partials/plugin-config/<id>; the duration hook is get_display_duration()/display_duration; a class_name mismatch raises PluginError; the store requires id, name, class_name and display_modes (not version); plugin_system.debug/log_level do not exist (use run.py -d / LEDMATRIX_DEBUG). Drop "future" features that shipped. - PLUGIN_CONFIG_CORE_PROPERTIES: list all of CORE_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES, including skin, skin_options and the vegas_* tuning keys. - PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS: icon is only a Font Awesome class (fallback fa-puzzle-piece); emoji/URL icons and getPluginIcon() never existed in v3. Note that /api/v3/plugins/installed currently omits icon. - PLUGIN_WEB_UI_ACTIONS (+ example JSON): success_message, error_message and step1_message are never read. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(store): describe the monorepo registry and the store UI as they are - PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE: the Plugin Store is a section of the Plugin Manager tab; URL installs are "Install from GitHub" -> "Install Single Plugin"; bulk update exists (Check & Update All) plus opt-in weekly auto-update; PluginStoreManager() defaults to plugins/, so the Python examples pass plugin-repos; registry plugins are downloaded (GitHub API, ZIP fallback), not cloned; updates compare version with latest_version. - PLUGIN_REGISTRY_SETUP_GUIDE: replace the per-plugin-repo + tag walkthrough with a short page on the monorepo registry (plugin_path, latest_version, update_registry.py) that points at the monorepo's own SUBMISSION.md. Drops the reference to the deleted PLUGIN_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md and setup_plugin_repos.py. - plugin_registry_template.json: use the real entry shape. - PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE: automatic background updates exist (opt-in); registry example and publishing steps use the monorepo, not tags. - PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE: tags/releases are not read by the store. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(readme): fix the Triple Bonnet mapping, install prerequisites and backup names - README: the Adafruit Triple Bonnet uses `regular` (3 outputs), not `regular-pi1` (1 output) -- src/matrix_support.py MAPPING_OUTPUTS, and the README's own hardware_mapping section; the template default mapping is adafruit-hat, the PWM mod switches it to adafruit-hat-pwm; manual install only needs git up front (first_time_install.sh installs python-dev-is-python3, cmake, ninja-build etc.; cython3/scons are not used); the Pi Zero 2 W is a supported low-memory board, consistent with PRODUCT.md, LOW_MEMORY_BOARDS.md and the installer's low-memory build; fix the "First_time_install.sh" spelling, an orphan "2." list item and the hello-world starter link (it lives in the plugins monorepo). - CONFIG_DEBUGGING: automatic backups are config/backups/config.json.backup.<YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_ffffff> (five kept), not config_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(dev): correct the test-running and rgbmatrix build instructions - HOW_TO_RUN_TESTS: coverage is not collected by a plain pytest run and pytest.ini has no threshold; the only one is --cov-fail-under=52 in the core unit-test job of .github/workflows/test.yml, which runs the whole test/ tree (not an allowlist). Almost no tests carry markers, so -m integration / -m slow select nothing; drop them and -m unit as the quick check. Replace the hardcoded /home/chuck path. - DEVELOPMENT: the rgbmatrix package is built with pip install . from the submodule root (scikit-build-core + CMake + Ninja), as first_time_install.sh does; there is no make build-python / bindings/python step, and the build deps are python-dev-is-python3, cmake and ninja-build, not cython3/scons. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(wifi): the setup AP is open; auto-enable can be turned off without code changes - WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP / SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: both AP paths in src/wifi_manager.py create an open network and nothing reads ap_password, so drop the "ledmatrix123" password and the ap_password key/advice. - SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL: disabling automatic AP mode does not need code changes -- auto_enable_ap_mode is a WiFi-tab toggle and POST /api/v3/wifi/ap/auto-enable; note the monitor daemon reads wifi_config.json at start, so restart it after changing the setting. Use the ledpi username and a relative install path like the other docs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(reference): add auto_update, drop drifted line numbers, fix UI and service details - CONFIG_REFERENCE: document the top-level auto_update.enabled key (read by web_interface/auto_update.py and src/auto_update_setup.py); replace drifted file:line references with function names; the template's dim_schedule mode is "global". - ADVANCED_FEATURES: core does not read a per-plugin background_service block (the sports plugins read their own), and priority is "higher number = higher priority" on FetchRequest but not used for ordering. - WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE: the General tab toggle is "Web Display Autostart" (web interface service), brightness is 1-100, and config paths are relative to the LEDMatrix folder, not /config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: drop references to code removed in #608 get_installed_plugin_info, WiFiManager's saved_networks and the six always-skipping plugin test files are deleted there. NetworkManager already remembers joined networks; LEDMatrix no longer stores WiFi passwords. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs: don't link SKIN_SYSTEM.md from the core-properties page #615 deletes SKIN_SYSTEM.md; with this link, whichever of the two merged second would break test_doc_links. The skin/skin_options entries go when #615 removes the keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Utility Scripts
This directory contains utility scripts for maintenance and system operations.
Scripts
clear_cache.py- Clears LEDMatrix cache data (specific keys or all cache)start_web_conditionally.py- Conditionally starts the web interface based on config settingswifi_monitor_daemon.py- Background daemon that monitors WiFi/Ethernet connection and manages access point modepixlet_config_editor.sh- Opens Pixlet's own config UI for one installed Starlark appapply_dns_single_request.sh- Addsoptions single-requestto the resolver (run byledmatrix-dns-fix.service)
Usage
Clear Cache
python3 scripts/utils/clear_cache.py --list # List cache keys
python3 scripts/utils/clear_cache.py --clear-all # Clear all cache
python3 scripts/utils/clear_cache.py --clear <key> # Clear specific key
Start Web Interface Conditionally
This script is typically called by the systemd service (ledmatrix-web.service) and checks the web_display_autostart setting in config/config.json before starting the web interface.
WiFi Monitor Daemon
This daemon is typically run as a systemd service (ledmatrix-wifi-monitor.service) and automatically manages WiFi access point mode based on network connectivity.
Pixlet Config Editor
Run it when you want Pixlet's own config form for a Starlark app -- live render preview, cascading dropdowns -- rather than the LEDMatrix one.
./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh # list installed apps
./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh penndot_signs # edit, on localhost:8080
Deliberately not a service. It stops the display for the length of the
session and pixlet serve listens with no authentication, so it should only
be running while you are actually editing. It backs the config up first and
restarts the display on exit, however it exits.
It binds loopback only, with no flag to change that: anything that can reach
pixlet serve can rewrite the app's config, and a printed warning is not
access control. To edit from another machine, forward the port -- SSH does the
authenticating and nothing is left listening on the LAN:
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 pi@ledpi.local
Apply DNS Single-Request Fix
Installed and run by ledmatrix-dns-fix.service; see systemd/README.md.
Safe to run by hand (sudo ./scripts/utils/apply_dns_single_request.sh) and
idempotent.
