* Add skin system: user-installable visual overlays for sports scoreboards Skins restyle a scoreboard's live/recent/upcoming rendering while the host plugin keeps doing data fetching, scheduling, caching, live priority, and vegas mode — the anti-fork alternative for users who only want a different layout. - src/skin_system/: ScoreboardSkin API, SkinContext (canvas + adaptive layout + logo/font helpers), discovery/loading runtime with API major version gating and per-skin module namespacing - src/base_classes/sports.py: _render_game() seam at the three _draw_scorebug_layout call sites; skin-first with built-in fallback, 3-strikes session disable, slow-render warning; per-mode skin config - scripts/validate_skin.py: headless multi-mode/multi-size validator with bundled per-sport fixtures (no hardware or network needed) - skins/example-classic-baseball/: working reference skin - Web UI: served-schema Visual Skin dropdown (validation never enum-restricted, so uninstalled skins can't invalidate configs) and GET /api/v3/skins - Store: registry entries with type "skin" install to skins/ - docs/SKIN_SYSTEM.md (architecture), docs/CREATING_SKINS.md (author guide incl. Claude Code prompt), view-model contract locked by tests Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LrCusPasy1qeUN5anK3aA1 * Address review feedback on skin system - skin_runtime: cache the entry module so the 2nd/3rd load of the same skin (live/recent/upcoming hosts) doesn't re-execute it with unbound sibling aliases; rebind cached sibling modules to their bare names around entry import and restore prior bindings after; include per- manifest mtimes in the discovery cache fingerprint so in-place skin updates are picked up - sports.py: count render_skin_card exceptions toward the 3-strike session disable - store_manager: validate skin ids (pattern + resolved-path containment in skins/), reject registry/manifest id mismatches, and stage+validate downloads in a temp sibling before replacing an existing skin - schema_manager: leave the schema untouched when the configured skin value is a per-mode mapping (a string dropdown could overwrite it) - validate_skin.py: reject non-positive sizes and non-object --options at parse time; support --output-dir outside the repo; type annotations - example skin: validate accent_color once at load with logged fallback - fixtures: pregame 0-0 scores in football/hockey upcoming fixtures - api /skins: rely on the self-invalidating discovery cache instead of force_refresh - docs: valid JSON manifest example, load_logo caching semantics spelled out, language ids on fenced blocks - tests: view-model contract test now exercises the real extractor; regression test for repeated same-skin loads with sibling modules Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LrCusPasy1qeUN5anK3aA1 --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
LEDMatrix Documentation

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.
