Eight findings, all reproduced before fixing.
scroll_config.configure() read the refresh rate *after* resolve() had
already used it. resolve() fills in target_fps, pixels_per_frame and the
judder warning from that rate, so on a 60Hz panel every one of them
described 100Hz -- and with snap_to_crisp=False nothing downstream
corrected it, so set_target_fps() paced the helper to 100 FPS. The rate
is now settled first, and falls back to the global config rather than
straight to the default.
refresh_hz_from_config() used `(cfg.get("display") or {}).get(...)`,
which raises AttributeError when either level is truthy but not a
mapping -- out of a function whose whole contract is a rate or a default.
The frame-stats line reported the upper-middle sample as the median and
the 96th sorted sample as p95 of 100. Both are also thresholds (stalls
at 1.5x the median, skips at 0.5x), so the counts were biased too. The
arithmetic is now in frame_stats()/format_frame_stats(), testable
without a clock.
configure()'s docstring and docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md still said it
applies the frame hold and warns when it cannot. It deliberately does
neither since "tie the frame hold to the scroll, not the plugin"; a
caller following the old text would omit set_scrolling_state() and slow
snapped speeds would still present every refresh.
disk_cache had no policy for non-finite floats: orjson writes null,
the stdlib writes NaN/Infinity, and orjson then rejects those legacy
files so DiskCache.get deleted them as corrupt. One behaviour on both
paths now -- write null, keep legacy records readable. allow_nan=False
detects the values; the replacement walk runs only when there is one,
so the ordinary write path is byte-identical and pays nothing.
build_rgbmatrix_nogil.sh picked the build artifact with a glob piped to
`head -1`, which sorts cpython-311 ahead of cpython-313, so a stale .so
staged in from the source tree was installed as core.so while the GIL
check -- which reads the generated core.cpp, not the .so -- still passed.
It now requires the current interpreter's exact ABI name and fails
closed. Its systemctl calls were also unchecked under `set -uo pipefail`:
a failed stop left the old service running, the following start
succeeded as a no-op, and the health check reported SUCCESS for a
binding that was never loaded.
orjson floor raised to 3.11.6 for CVE-2025-67221 (unbounded recursion
in dumps); it covers the project's Python 3.10-3.13 range.
Adds test/test_cache_nonfinite_floats.py (14) plus regression tests in
test_scroll_config.py and test_scroll_helper.py. 9 of the cache tests
and 9 of the scroll_config tests fail against the pre-fix code.
