ChuckandClaude Opus 5.5 a8b3e86775 refactor(web): delete dead routes, JS files and duplicate definitions (#609)
* refactor(web): drop validators nothing calls

escape_html, validate_image_url, validate_font_awesome_class,
validate_mime_type, validate_numeric_range, validate_string_length and
sanitize_plugin_config had no callers outside their own tests. Only
validate_file_upload (fonts upload) is imported by the web interface.

dedup_unique_arrays is kept: its one caller in save_plugin_config was
removed by the unrelated sync PR (#330), which looks accidental.

* refactor(api): remove the music-auth and of-the-day JSON routes

POST /plugins/authenticate/spotify and /plugins/authenticate/ytm had no
caller but their tests: the music plugin authenticates through its
web_ui_actions (authenticate_spotify.py / authenticate_ytm.py) via
/plugins/action.

POST /plugins/of-the-day/json/upload and /json/delete looked the plugin
up by the id ledmatrix-of-the-day (its manifest id is of-the-day), were
reachable only from a file_type "json" upload field that no schema
declares, and put the plugin directory on sys.path per request to
import scripts.update_config. of-the-day manages its files through
plugin-file-manager and its own web_ui_actions.

The of-the-day branch of GET /plugins/config stays: it matches the real
manifest id and still merges the on-disk category files into the form.

* refactor(api): read managers only from the blueprints

api_v3/__init__.py and pages_v3.py declared module globals
(plugin_store_manager, saved_repositories_manager, schema_manager,
operation_queue, plugin_state_manager, operation_history, sync_manager,
config_manager, plugin_manager) that nothing assigns: app.py sets the
managers as attributes on the Blueprint objects, and every route reads
them there. The one reader, backup restore's fallback to the module
plugin_store_manager, could only ever fall back to None.

_ensure_cache_manager() built a second CacheManager in the web process
instead of using the one app.py puts on api_v3. The display routes now
read api_v3.cache_manager, creating it on the blueprint only when
nothing set it (the same None handling as the /cache routes).

* chore(web): drop run.sh and the unused log_config_change

web_interface/run.sh was referenced only by web_interface/README.md;
the service starts the UI through scripts/utils/start_web_conditionally.py
and the README already documents `python3 web_interface/start.py`.
log_config_change() in web_interface/logging_config.py was never called.

* refactor(web): delete unreferenced store_manager.js, diff_viewer.js, htmx-sse.js

- js/plugins/store_manager.js (window.PluginStoreManager) and
  js/config/diff_viewer.js (window.ConfigDiffViewer) were loaded on every
  page but nothing reads either global.
- htmx-sse.js (plus its CDN fallback) was loaded after HTMX, but no
  template or plugin page uses sse-connect / hx-ext="sse": the live
  streams run through LEDStreams in app-shell.js.

js/plugins/state_manager.js stays: install_manager.js's updateAll()
reads and refreshes window.PluginStateManager.

* refactor(web): remove app.js helpers nothing calls

- hexToRgb, rgbToHex, validateForm, uploadFont and switchTab (whose
  'switch-tab' event had no listener) have no caller in the templates,
  static JS or the plugin monorepo.
- installPlugin: plugins_manager.js (loaded last) assigns
  window.installPlugin, and its own store cards are the only callers.
- The showNotification fallback could never install: app-shell.js is
  deferred ahead of app.js and defines the same fallback at top level.
- performanceMonitor only logged with ?debug=perf and read an unset
  this.measures; the marks it took on every load had no reader.

* refactor(web): drop app-shell.js refreshPlugin

A top-level function in app-shell.js, so a window global, but nothing
calls it (no inline handler, no window lookup, no string-built name).

The other plugin actions in that block stay. updatePlugin is the live
window.updatePlugin: plugins_manager.js only installs its own copy when
none exists. uninstallPlugin/pollUninstallOperation, updateAllPlugins,
executePluginAction and toggleNestedSection are replaced by later
deferred scripts, but a click that lands while those scripts are still
downloading reaches the app-shell copies, so removing them is not a
pure no-op.

* refactor(web): remove definitions plugins_manager.js always overrides

All of these are replaced before anything can call them, checked
against the load order in base.html and the live window.* values:

- openOnDemandModal/requestOnDemandStop stubs: the IIFE later in the
  same script assigns the real functions synchronously.
- updatePlugin and uninstallPlugin stubs (`window.X || stub`): app-shell.js
  already defined both, so the fallback never installed. Same for the
  later updatePlugin override, gated on the live function containing
  '[UPDATE]', which app-shell.js's never does.
- The first addArrayObjectItem/removeArrayObjectItem: reassigned by the
  top-level copies after the IIFE.
- The first `function formatDate` in the IIFE: a later declaration of
  the same name in the same scope wins.
- deleteUploadedImage, getCurrentImages, showUploadProgress,
  formatFileSize and getScheduleSummary: character-for-character
  copies of js/widgets/file-upload.js, which stays the owner.
- `typeof X === 'undefined'` fallbacks and `typeof X !== 'undefined'`
  re-exports after the IIFE: always false, or a self-assignment.

* refactor(web): render the shell directly and delete index.html

index.html extended base.html with {% block content %}, but base.html
defines no blocks, so none of index.html ever rendered: rendering both
with jinja2 gives byte-identical output. index() still loaded the config,
read config.json and config_secrets.json raw and json.dumps'd them on
every page load for variables base.html never reads, and flashed errors
that base.html never shows. It now renders base.html with no context.

* fix(web): stop htmx-config.js replacing console.error and console.warn

It swapped both globals for filters that dropped any error mentioning
insertBefore / "Cannot read properties of null" when "htmx" appeared in
the message or stack, and a list of Permissions-Policy warnings. That
hid real errors from every script on the page, and made every logged
error and warning report htmx-config.js as its source. The beforeSwap
target validation above it, which prevents the insertBefore errors in
the first place, stays.

* chore(web): quiet the widget load announcements and debug logs

About 30 lines hit the console on every page load: one "... widget
registered" per widget file, one "[WidgetRegistry] Registered widget: X"
per registration, plus the registry, base widget and plugin loader
announcing themselves. The load-time announcements are removed; the
per-call ones (registry register, plugin widget loads, "Render called")
now go through the page's debugLog switch (localStorage.pluginDebug),
guarded because the widgets also load in node tests without it.
fonts.html and wifi.html debug logging goes through debugLog as well.

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

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.
