ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 c00bf5e8e6 fix(plugin-system): unload/update race, failed-load cleanup, limits validation, schema lookup, install rollback (#653)
* 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.

* 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

  1. GETTING_STARTED.md — first-time setup walkthrough
  2. WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md — using the web UI
  3. PLUGIN_STORE_GUIDE.md — installing and managing plugins
  4. WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP.md — WiFi and AP-mode setup
  5. TROUBLESHOOTING.md — common issues and fixes (PERMISSIONS.md for "Permission denied")
  6. SSH_UNAVAILABLE_AFTER_INSTALL.md — recovering SSH after install
  7. CONFIG_DEBUGGING.md — diagnosing config problems
  8. LOW_MEMORY_BOARDS.md — Pi Zero 2 W / 3B+ / 1GB Pi 4 memory limits

I want to write a plugin

Start here:

  1. PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md — end-to-end workflow
  2. PLUGIN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md — cheat sheet
  3. PLUGIN_API_REFERENCE.md — display, cache, and plugin-manager APIs
  4. PLUGIN_ERROR_HANDLING.md — error-handling patterns
  5. DEV_PREVIEW.md — preview plugins on your dev machine without a Pi
  6. EMULATOR_SETUP_GUIDE.md — running the matrix emulator

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.py fails on broken relative links.
  • Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
