claude[bot]andClaude Opus 5 21c8a54f68 chore: prepare the 3.5.0 release (#601)
* chore: prepare the 3.5.0 release

Turns the CHANGELOG's Unreleased section into `## 3.5.0` and bumps
`src.__version__`, the value plugin `ledmatrix_min_version` floors compare
against. No behaviour change; nothing outside the CHANGELOG, `src/__init__.py`
and one docs line is touched.

The staged entries are reshaped into the `### ` subsections every released
section already uses, and the "new modules a plugin may import via `src.*`"
block moves to the top as the plugin-facing summary, the same shape as 3.4.0.
Its floor, written as "the release that ships this" while it was staged, is now
3.5.0, and `docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md` says 3.5.0 for `sports_helpers.py`
instead of "(unreleased)".

Four merged changes had never been written down. They are added under the
subsection each belongs to, from the commits and their measurements:

- the idle back-off clamped to the next kickoff (#599)
- concurrent ESPN date chunks (#596)
- the three web routes that consulted plugin manifests before anything had
  discovered plugins, one of which wrote a plugin API key to config.json in
  plain text (#594)
- the cache permission fix and its systemd unit changes (#593), which get
  their own subsection

No tag and no release: `scripts/check_release_version.py v3.5.0` passes, so
tagging is a separate, deliberate step.

* ci: let Claude Code Review run on PRs the Claude app opens

The review action refuses a workflow whose actor is a GitHub App unless the
app is named in `allowed_bots`, which this workflow never set:

  Actor is a GitHub App: claude[bot]
  Actor type: Bot
  Action failed with error: Workflow initiated by non-human actor: claude
  (type: Bot). Add bot to allowed_bots list or use '*' to allow all bots.

It aborts about two seconds in, before the diff is read, so the check is red
on every such PR and re-running cannot help: the actor does not change. Until
now no PR here had a bot author, so nothing tripped it.

`'claude'` rather than `'*'`: the action lowercases each entry and strips a
trailing `[bot]` before comparing it to the actor
(`isAllowedBot` in `src/github/validation/actor.ts`), so this admits
`claude[bot]` and no other app. `'*'` would admit any app that can trigger a
workflow here, with a prompt it controls — the action's own docs warn about
that on public repositories, and this one is public.

The write-permission check already allowed the app; `checkHumanActor` was the
only gate.

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
  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

Archive

docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and git history but should not be relied on.

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, move it to docs/archive/ rather than deleting it, so links don't rot.
  • Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
