The four test_nba_*.py files imported nba_managers, leaderboard_manager and odds_manager — top-level modules deleted when sports displays became plugins — inside try/except blocks that swallowed the ImportError, so they passed while exercising nothing. test_nba_data_structure.py and debug_nba_api.py (a diagnostic script living in test/) made live ESPN API calls rather than testing repo code. None were enrolled in CI. scripts/debug/direct_fix_imports.py and check_imports.py were one-shot artifacts that edited/inspected a hardcoded ~/LEDMatrix/web_interface/ app.py to fix an import problem solved long ago; nothing references them.

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.

Archive
docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe
features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and
git history but should not be relied on.
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, move it to
docs/archive/rather than deleting it, so links don't rot. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
