* 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:
- Local: http://localhost:5000
- Network: http://:5000
Configuration
The web interface reads configuration from:
config/config.json- Main configurationconfig/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 configurationPOST /api/v3/config/main- Save main configurationGET /api/v3/config/secrets- Get secrets configurationPOST /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 statusPOST /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 frameGET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status- On-demand statusPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start- Trigger on-demand displayPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop- Clear on-demand
Plugins
GET /api/v3/plugins/installed- List installed pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin configPOST /api/v3/plugins/config- Update plugin configurationGET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin schemaPOST /api/v3/plugins/toggle- Enable/disable pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/install- Install from registryPOST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url- Install from GitHub URLPOST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall- Uninstall pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/update- Update plugin
Plugin Store
GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list- List available registry pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status- GitHub authentication statusPOST /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 streamGET /api/v3/stream/display- Display preview streamGET /api/v3/stream/logs- Service logs stream
Development
When making changes to the web interface:
- Edit files in this directory
- Test changes by running
python3 web_interface/start.py - 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
