Claude e591ceca48 refactor(sports): convert sports.py into a package (pure move)
Phase B1a of docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md. src/base_classes/sports.py
becomes a package so the upcoming capability modules have a home and
diffs show their blast radius:

  sports/__init__.py   re-exports the public API
  sports/core.py       SportsCore
  sports/modes.py      SportsUpcoming / SportsRecent / SportsLive

No logic change: the 1515 class-body lines are byte-identical to the
original (verified by concatenating the two modules and diffing against
HEAD). Only module docstrings and the redistributed import blocks are
new. MRO and __abstractmethods__ are unchanged, and every existing
import site — including 'from src.base_classes.sports import SportsCore'
in the sport subclasses, the skin tests, and the characterization
suite — resolves through the package __init__.

One test edit was required: the characterization suite monkeypatched
'src.base_classes.sports.get_background_service', which is no longer a
module attribute on a package. Retargeted to
'src.base_classes.sports.core.get_background_service' — the module whose
globals SportsCore.__init__ actually resolves, so the patch is effective
exactly as before. No test logic or assertion changed.

Also adds docs/SPORTS_UNIFICATION.md: the architecture for the whole
B1-B5 sequence — how upgradability (guarded imports, capability probing,
frozen view-model keys, the sunset rule), reusability (promote only what
all nine copies share), and modularity (capabilities as opt-in mixins
rather than config branches, variants as named strategies, sport-unique
code as declared override points) are kept as three separate mechanisms.

Verified: characterization + skin 94 passed; the 10-file unit suite 338
passed; test/plugins 60 passed — all identical to pre-change counts.

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
  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.
