Claude 969863eebd feat(sports): opt-in celebration and rotation capabilities
Phase B2 of the sports unification. Both features exist in only some of
the nine scoreboards, so they ship as capabilities the plugin composes,
never as `if self.<feature>_enabled` branches inside the base classes: a
sport that does not opt in has none of this code in its MRO.

CelebrationMixin (afl, nrl, soccer, football)
The two lineages spelled this differently -- _check_for_goal /
celebrate_opponent_goals vs _check_for_score / celebrate_opponent_scores
-- but the bodies were identical apart from three things, each now a
seam rather than a branch:
  - wording -> score_phrase() / win_phrase() hooks
  - follow-up suppression -> COALESCE_SCORING_SEQUENCE, on for football
    where a touchdown lands as +6 then +1, off where two increments are
    two real goals
  - team identity -> _favorite_key, so nrl matches on team id without
    core learning why its abbreviations are ambiguous
Both config spellings are read, so a plugin adopting the mixin keeps
working with the keys already in its published schema.

Rotation strategies
The three "dialects" turned out to be one algorithm (SWRR) in two
shapes: an incremental picker holding state across calls, and a
precomputed per-cycle list. They agree within a cycle and differ only at
the boundary, so core ships both behind a name registry rather than
declaring a winner. weight_for is supplied by the host, so rotation.py
never learns what a favorite is; an unknown name degrades to "simple"
because it arrives from user config.

Each strategy is checked against a verbatim transcription of the plugin
code it replaces, over every live-game shape up to four games -- the
differential B5 will delete the bundled copies on the strength of.

185 new tests. Gates: 648 core unit, 60 plugin safety.

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

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

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.
