On a device running four installed, configured, working plugins, the overview
banner read:
Stale plugin config entries found: football-scoreboard, odds-ticker, data,
ledmatrix-weather, starlark-apps. Remove them from config.json or reinstall
via the Plugin Store.
Every claim in that sentence was wrong, and following its advice would have
deleted 4.9KB of working league settings. Four separate defects combined.
1. Secrets keys became phantom plugins. load_config() merges
config_secrets.json into the config it returns, and the ignore list named
only 'github' and 'youtube'. A 'data' key in that file therefore read as a
plugin id and was reported as "in config but not on disk" forever. Read the
secrets file's own top-level keys instead of hardcoding two of them.
2. The auto-fix clobbered real config. The handler for "on disk but not in
config" assigned `config[plugin_id] = {'enabled': False}` unconditionally,
so whenever detection was wrong it replaced a plugin's entire configuration
with a stub. On the reported device it only failed to do so because the
write hit EACCES. Now it refuses to overwrite an entry that already exists.
3. The banner gave backwards advice. plugin_missing_in_config ("on disk, not in
config") and plugin_missing_on_disk ("in config, not on disk") are opposite
problems, and both were rendered as "stale config entries ... remove them
from config.json" -- which is correct for the second and destructive for the
first. They are now reported separately, each with the advice that fits.
4. A stale verdict was served indefinitely. The result is a snapshot written
once per run to a status file, and a run that fails to apply a fix also
declares it will not retry. A condition that had since resolved kept being
reported for hours. The status endpoint now re-checks stored findings
against current state, dropping only what it can prove stale and keeping
any kind it cannot re-verify.
The secrets-key lookup is deliberately fail-safe: an unreadable, absent,
malformed or non-path secrets location narrows the ignore set rather than
raising. An earlier revision let TypeError escape, which the broad handler in
_get_config_state() swallowed as "Error reading config state" -- emptying the
config state and making every downstream detection wrong. The existing
reconciliation tests caught it; there is now a regression test for it too.
