Chuck 2f3433cebc docs: fix misc remaining docs (architecture, dev quickref, sub-dir READMEs)

PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE_SPEC.md
- Added a banner at the top noting this is a historical design doc
  written before the plugin system shipped. The doc is ~1900 lines
  with 13 stale /api/plugins/* paths (real is /api/v3/plugins/*),
  references to web_interface_v2.py (current is app.py), and a
  Migration Strategy / Implementation Roadmap that's now history.
  Banner points readers at the current docs
  (PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE, PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE,
  REST_API_REFERENCE) without needing to retrofit every section.

PLUGIN_CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE.md
- 10 occurrences of /api/plugins/* missing /v3 prefix. Bulk fixed.

DEVELOPER_QUICK_REFERENCE.md
- cache_manager.delete("key") -> cache_manager.clear_cache("key")
  with comment noting delete() doesn't exist. Same bug already
  documented in PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md.

SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL.md
- 4 occurrences of port 5001 -> 5000 in AP-mode and Ethernet/WiFi
  recovery instructions.

PLUGIN_CUSTOM_ICONS_FEATURE.md
- Port 5001 -> 5000.

CONFIG_DEBUGGING.md
- Documented /api/v3/config/plugin/<id> and /api/v3/config/validate
  endpoints don't exist. Replaced with the real endpoints:
  /api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=,
  /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=. Added a note that validation
  runs server-side automatically on POST.

STARLARK_APPS_GUIDE.md
- "Plugins -> Starlark Apps" UI navigation path doesn't exist (5
  occurrences). Replaced with the real path: Plugin Manager tab,
  then the per-plugin Starlark Apps tab in the second nav row.
- "Navigate to Plugins" install step -> Plugin Manager tab.

web_interface/README.md
- Documented several endpoints that don't exist in the api_v3
  blueprint:
  - GET /api/v3/plugins (list) -> /api/v3/plugins/installed
  - GET /api/v3/plugins/<id> -> doesn't exist
  - POST /api/v3/plugins/<id>/config -> POST /api/v3/plugins/config
  - GET /api/v3/plugins/<id>/enable + /disable -> POST /api/v3/plugins/toggle
  - GET /api/v3/store/plugins -> /api/v3/plugins/store/list
  - POST /api/v3/store/install/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/install
  - POST /api/v3/store/uninstall/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall
  - POST /api/v3/store/update/<id> -> POST /api/v3/plugins/update
  - POST /api/v3/display/start/stop/restart -> POST /api/v3/system/action
  - GET /api/v3/display/status -> GET /api/v3/system/status
- Also fixed config/secrets.json -> config/config_secrets.json
- Replaced the per-section endpoint duplication with a current real
  endpoint list and a pointer to docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md.
- Documented that SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the
  Flask app at app.py:607-615, not in the api_v3 blueprint.

scripts/install/README.md
- Was missing 3 of the 9 install scripts in the directory:
  one-shot-install.sh, configure_wifi_permissions.sh, and
  debug_install.sh. Added them with brief descriptions.

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 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)
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
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:607-615), 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:

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
