Chuck 3c022c9263 fix: address PR review findings
Fix (10 of 15 findings):

plugin-repos/march-madness/requirements.txt:
  Add urllib3>=1.26.0 — manager.py directly imports from urllib3; it was
  an undeclared transitive dependency via requests.

scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh:
  Restore subshell form (cd "$target_dir" && git pull --rebase) || true
  so the shell's working directory is not permanently changed after the
  if-cd block. Previous fix for SC2015 leaked cwd into the remainder of
  the script.

src/base_classes/sports.py:
  Narrow 'except Exception' to 'except RuntimeError as e' and log via
  self.logger.debug — Path.home() raises only RuntimeError for service
  users; other exceptions should not be silently swallowed.

src/config_service.py:
  Fix stale "MD5 checksum" in ConfigVersion.__init__ docstring (line 40);
  the implementation uses SHA-256 since the Codacy fix.

src/wifi_manager.py:
  Log the last-resort AP enable failure with exc_info=True instead of
  silently passing — failure here means the device may be unreachable.

web_interface/blueprints/pages_v3.py:
  Log the outer metadata pre-load exception at debug level instead of
  swallowing it silently; schema still loads fully below.

src/background_data_service.py:
  Remove unused 'timeout' parameter from shutdown() — executor.shutdown()
  does not accept timeout; update __del__ caller accordingly.

src/font_manager.py:
  Validate URL scheme before urlretrieve — reject non-http/https schemes
  (e.g. file://) to prevent reading local files from config-supplied URLs.

src/plugin_system/plugin_executor.py:
  Simplify redundant except tuple: (PluginTimeoutError, PluginError,
  Exception) → Exception, which already covers the others.

test/test_display_controller.py:
  Mark empty test_plugin_discovery_and_loading as @pytest.mark.skip with
  reason. Move duplicate 'from datetime import datetime' to module header
  and remove the stray mid-module copy.

Skip (5 of 15 findings, with reasons):
  - pytest 9.0.3 concerns: full suite already verified (467 pass, 18 pre-existing)
  - Pillow 12.2.0 API concerns: no deprecated APIs in codebase; tests + Pi smoke test pass
  - diagnose_web_ui.sh sudo validation: set -e already ensures fail-fast on any sudo failure
  - app.py request-logging except: must stay silent (recursive logging risk); annotated
  - app.py SSE file-read except: genuinely transient I/O; annotated

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
