New hardware-free module src/common/sports_live_fetch.py, copied from
ledmatrix-plugins claude/family9-reconcile once the nine scoreboards made
_fetch_todays_games (seven bodies when measured) and _fetch_odds (three) one
body each. Both live on the plugins' SportsCore, so one mixin,
SportsLiveFetchMixin, carries exactly those two plus the odds worker
_drain_odds_queue; no manager gains a method it lacks today.
Owner decisions (2026-10-12):
- Live scores are always fresh: every poll asks ESPN through
get_espn_scoreboard and leaves the answer under the shared
espn_scoreboard_cache_key for its dates (max_age=1: only a copy another
reader fetched within the last second is reused). The plugins' 30 s
<sport_key>_scoreboard_current cache is gone.
- College basketball is asked by date like every other league (ESPN
answered single dates for both college leagues on 2026-10-12).
- Odds never block update(): one daemon worker per manager answers a queue
and attaches each line in place under _games_lock; one batch in flight per
manager, games queued meanwhile join it, every dict queued for an id gets
the one answer. show_odds, the two odds intervals and a missing odds
manager (debug, not ERROR) are respected.
- An answer whose events is not a list is no games.
Fix: get_espn_scoreboard() no longer caches an answer whose events is not a
list ("events": null), which every reader of the shared key inherited; it is
still returned to the caller.
- test/test_sports_live_fetch.py: the plugins' pinned cases (requests,
dates and keys at 10:00 and 02:00 Eastern, freshness, malformed and failed
answers, odds that never block and land later, the intervals, one batch per
manager, a worker that cannot start, update and display on two threads),
plus the host contract. Mutation-checked (11 mutants, all caught).
- test/test_sports_live_fetch_parity.py: with LEDMATRIX_PLUGINS, compares
each body with every plugin copy. Passes against claude/family9-reconcile;
fails against the pre-reconcile tree.
- test/test_espn_scoreboard_cache.py: the null-events regression.
- mypy ratchet, src/common/README.md, CHANGELOG (Unreleased: New modules,
Fixes), docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md family 9 status and decisions.

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.
