* feat(web): weekly automatic updates with health check and rollback A General-tab toggle (off by default) checks for and installs LEDMatrix and plugin updates once a week, overnight in the configured timezone. - Pre-update checks skip (and report) instead of forcing: local edits or commits, merge/live rebase, no upstream, low disk, missing health check, or a version that was already rolled back. An abandoned rebase (HEAD back on a branch) is cleared, since it would otherwise block every pull. - The pull reuses the Update Code path (now perform_core_update(), which reports dependency install failures as data). - ledmatrix-update-verify.service, started via a .path unit from a request file, restarts the services from its own cgroup, requires them to come up and stay up, and otherwise resets to the previous commit and reinstalls the previous requirements. It runs a copy of the checker taken before the pull. - No SSH needed: switching the toggle on restarts the display service, which (as root) installs the two units from the repo templates for the web user. first_time_install.sh installs them too and takes --enable-auto-update / LEDMATRIX_AUTO_UPDATE (passed through by one-shot-install.sh). - Plugins update after the code passes its check; failures, blocks and rollbacks raise an Overview banner and show under the toggle. Tested end to end on a Pi: web-UI setup, a good update, a broken web service and a broken display (both rolled back), a blocked local edit, and an abandoned rebase found on the device.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(auto-update): CI failures on Linux - Keep the setup result when chown fails. CI runs as a non-root user, where chown to the web user raises; that discarded the result file, so the General tab would never learn whether setup worked. Regression test added. - Register the two new /api/v3/system/auto-update routes in the URL map snapshot. - Use utility classes app.css defines (space-y-1, hover:text-red-600). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(auto-update): address review feedback - Health check: a failed restart command no longer lets the check run against the still-running old process; it counts as a failure (and after a rollback, as a failed rollback). An unreadable restart count is never treated as stable, since a crash loop looks healthy between attempts. - Installer writes the auto_update setting to a temp file and swaps it in, keeping mode and owner, so a running config watcher never reads a truncated config.json. - Verify unit quotes its command-line paths (install folders with spaces); setup refuses folder names systemd would reinterpret (%, quotes, backslashes, control characters) and says so on the General tab. - The auto-update status route no longer returns exception text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(auto-update): keep error detail in the status route's 500 test_web_error_detail requires every 5xx handler to log the traceback and return describe_exception(e), which redacts credentials, so failures are diagnosable from the web UI. Dropping it for CodeQL broke that policy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(auto-update): dismiss route rejects non-object JSON with 400 A JSON array or scalar body made `.get('alert_id')` raise, returning 500. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(auto-update): let the app-wide handler answer status-route errors CodeQL (py/stack-trace-exposure, #709) flagged the route's own except, which returned describe_exception(e). web_interface/app.py's error handler already logs the traceback and returns the same redacted detail for any unhandled exception, so the local copy is removed: same response, no new exception-to-response flow, and test_web_error_detail's policy still holds.

Utility Scripts
This directory contains utility scripts for maintenance and system operations.
Scripts
clear_cache.py- Clears LEDMatrix cache data (specific keys or all cache)start_web_conditionally.py- Conditionally starts the web interface based on config settingswifi_monitor_daemon.py- Background daemon that monitors WiFi/Ethernet connection and manages access point modecleanup_venv.sh- Cleans up Python virtual environment filesclear_python_cache.sh- Clears Python cache files (pycache, *.pyc, etc.)pixlet_config_editor.sh- Opens Pixlet's own config UI for one installed Starlark appapply_dns_single_request.sh- Addsoptions single-requestto the resolver (run byledmatrix-dns-fix.service)
Usage
Clear Cache
python3 scripts/utils/clear_cache.py --list # List cache keys
python3 scripts/utils/clear_cache.py --clear-all # Clear all cache
python3 scripts/utils/clear_cache.py --clear <key> # Clear specific key
Start Web Interface Conditionally
This script is typically called by the systemd service (ledmatrix-web.service) and checks the web_display_autostart setting in config/config.json before starting the web interface.
WiFi Monitor Daemon
This daemon is typically run as a systemd service (ledmatrix-wifi-monitor.service) and automatically manages WiFi access point mode based on network connectivity.
Pixlet Config Editor
Run it when you want Pixlet's own config form for a Starlark app -- live render preview, cascading dropdowns -- rather than the LEDMatrix one.
./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh # list installed apps
./scripts/utils/pixlet_config_editor.sh penndot_signs # edit, on localhost:8080
Deliberately not a service. It stops the display for the length of the
session and pixlet serve listens with no authentication, so it should only
be running while you are actually editing. It backs the config up first and
restarts the display on exit, however it exits.
It binds loopback only, with no flag to change that: anything that can reach
pixlet serve can rewrite the app's config, and a printed warning is not
access control. To edit from another machine, forward the port -- SSH does the
authenticating and nothing is left listening on the LAN:
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 pi@ledpi.local
Apply DNS Single-Request Fix
Installed and run by ledmatrix-dns-fix.service; see systemd/README.md.
Safe to run by hand (sudo ./scripts/utils/apply_dns_single_request.sh) and
idempotent.
