* fix(plugin-system): unload/update race, failed-load module cleanup, limits validation, schema lookup, install rollback, op-queue dedupe - unload_plugin takes the per-plugin lock (5s bounded) before cleanup(), and an update() that finishes after its plugin was unloaded no longer sets the state back to ENABLED. - A load that fails after import drops plugin_<id> and its submodules and forgets its manager fonts, so a fixed plugin reloads new code. - Resource limits are validated as non-negative numbers: 400 at POST /plugins/limits, bad cached records ignored with one warning. Route docstrings note health/metrics reset and limits only change the web process's view. - SchemaManager.get_schema_path resolves each search dir via resolve_plugin_dir (manifest id, ledmatrix-<id>) before the literal paths; plugins/ still before plugin-repos/. Misses cached 30s and logged once at DEBUG. - install_from_url sets an existing copy aside and restores it if the move fails, under the per-plugin reinstall lock. - Operation queue refuses a second pending op for a plugin and trims _operations with history. - get_vegas_render_width reads display_manager.width first. - get_logger in store/schema/health/resource/saved_repositories; UTF-8 reads in store_manager and state_manager. - Docs: update_interval precedence (manifest over config) stated where users are told to set it in config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(web): build the limits 400 message from the field name, not an exception CodeQL flagged str(e) flowing into the response. invalid_limit_field() returns the offending field without raising, and limits_from_dict uses it.

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.
I'm a new user

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, delete it (it stays in the repository
history) and fix the links to it;
test/test_doc_links.pyfails on broken relative links. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
