The display service PNG-encoded its frame to /tmp/led_matrix_preview.png at 5 fps, 24/7 — identical frames, no viewers, per-call imports and a chmod every write. On the devpi baseline the display service idles at ~92% CPU; this was one of its biggest fixed costs. - New pure policy (src/common/snapshot_policy.py, unit-tested off-Pi): WRITE changed frames at full rate only while a viewer is watching, at a 30s idle cadence otherwise; NEVER re-encode unchanged frames — bump mtime (os.utime) every 20s instead, keeping the health check's snapshot-age liveness proxy (60s threshold in api_v3) green. Cross- referencing comments guard the two constants. - Viewer detection: the web SSE display broadcaster (which only runs while browsers are subscribed) touches /tmp/led_matrix_preview_viewer each loop; the display service stats it at most 1/s. On viewer arrival the write clock resets so the first frame lands within ~1s. - Hoisted the per-call pathlib/permission_utils imports; directory permissions ensured once instead of every frame.
