ChuckandClaude Opus 5 d01da3bd9f fix(scroll): stop timing the idle gap between scrolls as a frame (#582)
ScrollHelper.last_frame_time was set once in __init__ and thereafter only
at the end of log_frame_rate(). Nothing re-armed it when a scroll began, so
the first frame of every scroll was timed against the last frame of the
*previous* one and the whole idle period between them was recorded as a
single frame.

Measured over 3 hours on a 256x64 Pi 4, that produced 31 windows reading

    Scroll frame stats - 0.0 fps over 1 frames | median 136776.02ms
    p95 136776.02ms max 136776.02ms min 136776.02ms | stalls 0 (0.0%)

and -- worse, because it is not obviously wrong -- put the same gap in the
max field of otherwise healthy windows, where the worst values were 537s
and 604s. It also counted as one stall per scroll start: at ~500 frames to
a window that is ~0.2%, against measured stall rates of 0.07-0.16%. The
stall rate is the number used to judge whether a scroll change worked, and
it was the same order of magnitude as its own artefact.

The first frame of a scroll has no predecessor, so it has no frame time.
last_frame_time is now None until one is rendered, and reset_scroll() puts
it back -- the same treatment last_update_time already gets three lines
above, for the same reason. reset_scroll() alone is not enough, because the
scrollers actually emitting these lines never call it, so a sample at or
past the 5s log interval is dropped as well: nothing that renders a scroll
takes that long over one frame. Seeding also restarts the window timer, or
the boundary is already overdue when the second frame arrives and every
scroll opens by reporting a window of exactly one frame. A window whose
samples were all dropped now logs nothing rather than reporting the gap.

docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md documented the diagnostic in terms of a
"Frame time: N ms" line that 6031e705 replaced with the aggregate, so its
grep matched nothing on any rig. The section now describes the line that is
actually emitted, reads duplicate frames off skips and a below-median
result rather than a 2ms mode, and adds a command that ranks every scroller
by p95 -- verified against 3 hours of journal, where it reproduces
src.base_odds_manager at p95 44.08ms against 10.19ms for the two scrollers
already on src/common/scroll_config.py.

requirements.txt still offered scipy for the sub-pixel interpolation path
deleted in #570. Installing it has no effect; the entry says so.

#
# scipy — nothing, as of #570. It was listed for the sub-pixel
# interpolation path in src/common/scroll_helper.py, but
# get_visible_portion never consulted HAS_SCIPY, so that
# path was dead before it was deleted. The blend that
# replaced it is numpy-only. Do not install it expecting
# smoother scrolling: sub-pixel blending is off by default
# because it reads worse on a coarse panel, not because it
# is missing a library. See docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md.
#
# psutil — per-plugin resource monitoring in
# src/plugin_system/resource_monitor.py. The monitor
# silently no-ops when missing (PSUTIL_AVAILABLE = False).
# Note: web_interface/requirements.txt requires this
# range as a hard dependency — keep the two in sync.
# pip install 'psutil>=6.0.0,<7.0.0'
#
# orjson — faster JSON for the disk cache
# (src/cache/disk_cache.py). Encoding a ~1MB cache
# record drops from ~12ms to ~1.6ms on a Pi 4, which
# matters because that work holds the GIL and stalls
# the render thread mid-scroll. Falls back to the
# stdlib json when missing — see docs/SCROLL_PERFORMANCE.md.
# The 3.11.6 floor is CVE-2025-67221: orjson.dumps did not
# limit recursion on deeply nested documents, and the disk
# cache encodes payloads parsed straight from third-party
# APIs. 3.11.6 covers the Python range above.
# pip install 'orjson>=3.11.6,<4.0'
#
# Flask-Limiter — request rate limiting in web_interface/app.py
# (accidental-abuse protection, not security). The
# web interface starts without rate limiting when
# this is missing.
# pip install 'Flask-Limiter>=3.5.0,<4.0.0'
