Three findings from CodeRabbit's review of 6c23994b, all verified against
current code before fixing:
- manager.py.j2 interpolated binding.source unescaped into a Python comment
(`pass # dynamic_text binding_source "{{ el.binding_source }}" draws
nothing`). A source string with a newline broke out of the comment; a
crafted payload produces a clean, ast.parse-valid `import os` in the
generated plugin (confirmed against the pre-fix template). This is now a
fixed literal comment that never interpolates the value. Live now that
composer_bp is registered. CWE-94.
- _alignElement moved a line's x0 (or y0) to the new position but left x1
(or y1) behind, so aligning a line changed its shape instead of moving
it. Both endpoints now translate by the same delta.
- web_interface/app.py only assigned project_root inside the relative-path
branch of the plugins_dir resolution. An absolute plugin_system.plugins_
directory (a supported config value) hit UnboundLocalError importing the
module at all, since SchemaManager/composer_bp use project_root further
down. Now assigned unconditionally before the branch.
Also extends BOUND_TYPES coverage in composer-app.js (_isBound,
removeConfigVar, _validateBeforeExport) from dynamic_text/progress_bar to
all six element types that carry a binding object (countdown, pips,
sparkline, gauge too) -- found by direct code reading against
ELEMENT_DEFAULTS in composer-canvas.js, not from a review comment. Without
it, those four types could export with an unbound config key with no
validation error, and deleting a config var they used gave no warning.
All four fixes have mutation-checked regression tests (fail against the
reverted code, pass with the fix): test_binding_source_cannot_break_out_of_the_comment_it_lands_in,
test_align_translates_both_line_endpoints_not_just_the_start,
test_app_plugins_dir_resolution.py, test_binding_checks_cover_every_bound_element_type.
Full suite: 4365 passed, 58 skipped, 2 failed -- both the pre-existing
Europe/Kiev/Asia/Calcutta tzdata-alias gap on this sandbox, identical on
origin/main, unrelated to this change.

LED Matrix Web Interface V3
Modern, production web interface for controlling the LED Matrix display.
Overview
This directory contains the active V3 web interface with the following features:
- Real-time display preview via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- Plugin management and configuration
- System monitoring and logs
- Modern, responsive UI
- RESTful API

Running the Web Interface
Standalone (Development)
From the project root:
python3 web_interface/start.py
Or using the shell script:
./web_interface/run.sh
As a Service (Production)
The web interface can run as a systemd service that starts automatically based on the web_display_autostart configuration setting:
sudo systemctl start ledmatrix-web
sudo systemctl enable ledmatrix-web # Start on boot
Accessing the Interface
Once running, access the web interface at:
- Local: http://localhost:5000
- Network: http://:5000
Configuration
The web interface reads configuration from:
config/config.json- Main configurationconfig/config_secrets.json- API keys and secrets
API Documentation
The V3 API is mounted at /api/v3/ (app.py:144). For the complete
list and request/response formats, see
docs/REST_API_REFERENCE.md. Quick
reference for the most common endpoints:
Configuration
GET /api/v3/config/main- Get main configurationPOST /api/v3/config/main- Save main configurationGET /api/v3/config/secrets- Get secrets configurationPOST /api/v3/config/raw/main- Save raw main config (Config Editor)POST /api/v3/config/raw/secrets- Save raw secrets
Display & System Control
GET /api/v3/system/status- System statusPOST /api/v3/system/action- Control display (action body:start_display,stop_display,restart_display_service,restart_web_service,git_pull,reboot_system,shutdown_system,enable_autostart,disable_autostart)GET /api/v3/display/current- Current display frameGET /api/v3/display/on-demand/status- On-demand statusPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/start- Trigger on-demand displayPOST /api/v3/display/on-demand/stop- Clear on-demand
Plugins
GET /api/v3/plugins/installed- List installed pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/config?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin configPOST /api/v3/plugins/config- Update plugin configurationGET /api/v3/plugins/schema?plugin_id=<id>- Get plugin schemaPOST /api/v3/plugins/toggle- Enable/disable pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/install- Install from registryPOST /api/v3/plugins/install-from-url- Install from GitHub URLPOST /api/v3/plugins/uninstall- Uninstall pluginPOST /api/v3/plugins/update- Update plugin
Plugin Store
GET /api/v3/plugins/store/list- List available registry pluginsGET /api/v3/plugins/store/github-status- GitHub authentication statusPOST /api/v3/plugins/store/refresh- Refresh registry from GitHub
Real-time Streams (SSE)
SSE stream endpoints are defined directly on the Flask app
(app.py:607-619 — includes the CSRF exemption and rate-limit hookup
alongside the three route definitions), not on the api_v3 blueprint:
GET /api/v3/stream/stats- System statistics streamGET /api/v3/stream/display- Display preview streamGET /api/v3/stream/logs- Service logs stream
Development
When making changes to the web interface:
- Edit files in this directory
- Test changes by running
python3 web_interface/start.py - Restart the service if running:
sudo systemctl restart ledmatrix-web
Notes
- Templates and static files use the
v3/prefix to allow for future versions - The interface uses Flask blueprints for modular organization
- SSE streams provide real-time updates without polling
