* refactor(install): generate the web sudoers rules in one place /etc/sudoers.d/ledmatrix_web was written by two copies of the same allow-list: a heredoc in first_time_install.sh Step 10 and a block of echo lines in scripts/install/configure_web_sudo.sh. They drifted before (safe_pip_install.sh was granted by one only), and a test existed just to catch that. Both now call web_sudoers_rules() from the new scripts/install/lib_sudoers.sh and keep their own validate (visudo -c), install and confirm flows. - first_time_install.sh output is byte-for-byte unchanged, so a device re-running the installer gets "already up to date". If the library is missing, Step 10 keeps the installed file and carries on, the same way it handles rules that fail visudo (an empty file would pass visudo). - configure_web_sudo.sh now writes the installer's layout: same 18 rules, different comments and order. It still leaves out reboot, poweroff and journalctl when they are missing; the library does that for both. The drift test now pins the generator's grants, checks that neither installer writes rules of its own, and runs each installer's call line to check the argument order. Tests that read the rule text now read the library.

The copies were identical apart from comments; they now call detect_web_service_user(), whose body is that block unchanged. Behaviour is the same: the function sets the same global and always returns 0, as the inline if-chain did. Checked on Linux against all three original copies across 13 layouts (installed unit with and without User=, the repo as shipped, each grep branch, template placeholders). The comment notes that the install_web_service.sh / install_service.sh greps no longer match anything, so until Step 8 installs the unit the result is "root". That behaviour is left as it was.

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.pyfails on broken relative links. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
