3b93024993 feat: activate dormant plugin health/metrics subsystem and surface it in the web UI (#388)
* feat(plugin-system): activate dormant plugin health & metrics subsystem

PluginManager shipped a fully-built health tracker, resource monitor and
circuit breaker that were never instantiated (health_tracker/resource_monitor
were left as None), so the circuit breaker never engaged and the existing
health/metrics API routes always returned "not available".

- DisplayController now wires a PluginHealthTracker and PluginResourceMonitor
  onto the plugin manager, enabling the circuit breaker (a repeatedly-failing
  plugin's update() is skipped after consecutive failures, then retried after
  a cooldown) and per-plugin execution-time metrics. Both persist to the
  shared cache.
- load_plugin() now validates each plugin's config against its JSON schema in
  a strictly warn/degrade-only way: a violation logs a warning and flags the
  plugin degraded in the health tracker, but never changes whether the plugin
  loads or its pass/fail behaviour. Adds PluginHealthTracker.set_degraded(),
  which never touches the circuit breaker.
- ResourceMonitor CPU/memory sampling now reuses a cached psutil.Process and
  reads cpu_percent(interval=None), so monitoring no longer blocks ~100ms per
  call on the display loop's update path.
- Fix DiskCache.get() raising TypeError for max_age=None ("never expires"),
  which silently discarded persisted plugin health/metrics on read and thus
  broke cross-process and post-restart surfacing.
- Fix two dead PluginManager helpers that called non-existent tracker methods.

Tests: new test_resource_monitor, test_plugin_health,
test_plugin_manager_schema_soft; extended test_cache_manager and
test_display_controller.

* feat(web-ui): surface plugin health, metrics and load state

With the health/metrics subsystem now active in the display service, expose it
in the web UI (which runs as a separate process from the display loop):

- Wire a health tracker / resource monitor backed by the shared on-disk cache
  into the web process so /api/v3/plugins/health and /plugins/metrics read the
  data the display service persists.
- Build those route responses per installed plugin id (the tracker's in-memory
  view is empty in a fresh web process) so cross-process data is included.
- Add state + error_info to /plugins/installed entries so the UI can show why a
  plugin isn't running instead of just loaded:false.
- Add a "Plugin Health" panel to the Tools page (circuit status, avg/max update
  time, update count, last error) plus PluginAPI.getPluginMetrics().

Tests: route-level tests for the health/metrics endpoints in test_web_api.

* fix(plugin-metrics): refresh cross-process health/metrics reads; type hints

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #388:

- Major: the web process's health/resource trackers cached the first persisted
  read in an in-memory dict (and the CacheManager memory tier held max_age=None
  entries indefinitely), so a long-lived web process showed the first snapshot
  and never reflected the display service's later updates. Add an opt-in
  force_reload path (get_health_summary/get_health_state/_load_health_state and
  get_metrics_summary/get_metrics) that bypasses the in-memory copy and, via a
  new memory_ttl passthrough on CacheManager.get, the cache manager's memory
  tier — so each /plugins/health and /plugins/metrics poll reads fresh persisted
  state. Default behaviour (force_reload=False) is unchanged for the display
  process and existing callers.
- Minor: DiskCache.get type hint is now Optional[int] with the None ("never
  expires") semantics documented, matching MemoryCache.get.

Tests: new force_reload staleness cases in test_plugin_health and
test_resource_monitor.

LED Matrix Web Interface V3

Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.

Overview

This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:

  • Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Plugin management and configuration
  • System monitoring and logs
  • Modern, responsive UI
  • RESTful API

Running the Web Interface

Standalone (Development)

From the project root:

python3 web_interface/start.py

Or using the shell script:

./web_interface/run.sh

As a Service (Production)

The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:

sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web  # Start on boot

Accessing the Interface

Once running, access the web interface at:

Configuration

The web interface reads configuration from:

  • config/config.json - Main configuration
  • config/config_secrets.json - API keys and secrets

API Documentation

The V3 API is mounted at /api/v3/ (app.py:144). For the complete list and request/response formats, see docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md. Quick reference for the most common endpoints:

Configuration

  • GET /api/v3/config/main - Get main configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/main - Save main configuration
  • GET /api/v3/config/secrets - Get secrets configuration
  • POST /api/v3/config/raw/main - Save raw main config (Config Editor)
  • POST /api/v3/config/raw/secrets - Save raw secrets

Display & System Control

  • GET /api/v3/system/status - System status
  • POST /api/v3/system/action - Control display (action body: start_display, stop_display, restart_display_service, restart_web_service, git_pull, reboot_system, shutdown_system, enable_autostart, disable_autostart)
  • GET /api/v3/display/current - Current display frame
  • GET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status - On-demand status
  • POST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start - Trigger on-demand display
  • POST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop - Clear on-demand

Plugins

  • GET /api/v3/plugins/installed - List installed plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id> - Get plugin config
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/config - Update plugin configuration
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id> - Get plugin schema
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle - Enable/disable plugin
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/install - Install from registry
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url - Install from GitHub URL
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall - Uninstall plugin
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/update - Update plugin

Plugin Store

  • GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list - List available registry plugins
  • GET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status - GitHub authentication status
  • POST /api/v3/plugins/store/refresh - Refresh registry from GitHub

Real-time Streams (SSE)

SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the Flask app (app.py:607-619 — includes the CSRF exemption and rate-limit hookup alongside the three route definitions), not on the api_v3 blueprint:

  • GET /api/v3/stream/stats - System statistics stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/display - Display preview stream
  • GET /api/v3/stream/logs - Service logs stream

Development

When making changes to the web interface:

  1. Edit files in this directory
  2. Test changes by running python3 web_interface/start.py
  3. Restart the service if running: sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web

Notes

  • Templates and static files use the v3/ prefix to allow for future versions
  • The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
  • SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
