…moon phase Four defects in one request/parse path, fixed together because they touch the same call sites: * `temperature_unit=kelvin` is not a value Open-Meteo accepts (celsius and fahrenheit only), so choosing "Standard (K)" failed outright. The request now asks for celsius and converts at parse time. * "Feels like" silently mirrored the actual temperature: the parser read the legacy `current_weather` block and asked it for `apparent_temperature`, a key that block never carries, so the fallback always won. Migrated to the modern `current=` parameter, with the parser accepting either shape so cached responses and existing fixtures keep working. * The hourly request omitted `weather_code`, so the forecast graph's per-hour icons had nothing to render. * The moon phase was computed for `date + 1 day`, showing tomorrow's phase against today's label (upstream fatihak#613). Also fixes a separate bug found while verifying the above: every daily forecast icon, moon-phase icon and the current-conditions icon pointed at a file that does not exist. Five call sites joined `<plugin_dir>/01d.png` while the icons live in `<plugin_dir>/icons/`, so they rendered as broken-image boxes for both providers. No test caught it because none asserted the paths resolve. All joins now go through one `icon_path()` helper, and a test asserts the files exist on disk. Verified by rendering the plugin through the real HTML->Chrome path against the committed fixture: 7 missing icon files before, 0 after.
`install/waveshare-manifest.txt` pins `epd3in7.py`, so the panel is offered as installable — but the driver could never work. Those drivers differ from the common shape in two ways: `init()` takes a required `mode` argument, and there is no generic `display()`, only `display_1Gray` / `display_4Gray`. Calling them the usual way raises TypeError, which is not among the caught exceptions, so the failure surfaced as a confusing traceback rather than a clear message. Detection is by signature: a required `mode` parameter selects the mode-driven path, bound to 1-bit grayscale so it mirrors the standard single-colour path. A `mode` parameter carrying a default correctly does not trigger it. `Clear` is likewise invoked with the arguments each driver actually declares. The vendor API was checked against the manifest-pinned source rather than assumed, and the test fakes mirror those real signatures.
A colour resolved in RGB cannot be composited into an L (grayscale) or 1 (bi-level) image, and the failure surfaces inside `ImageOps.pad` rather than anywhere that mentions colour. Grayscale and bi-colour Waveshare panels are configurations this fork supports (upstream fatihak#568, JTN-768). Two of the three padding plugins already guarded this; `image_album` was mode-aware but had no invalid-value guard, so a malformed colour from the free-text settings field raised. Three near-identical private copies are now one shared `resolve_background_color`, tested across RGB/RGBA/L/1 against the real contract — that `ImageOps.pad` accepts what it returns.
JTN-596 decoupled the watchdog heartbeat from the refresh cycle so a long `plugin_cycle_interval_seconds` could not starve it. That left the heartbeat a bare timer whose only liveness condition was `self.running` — a plain bool. A refresh wedged in a blocking call (SPI write, chromium subprocess, plugin socket) holds no lock and never clears that flag, so the heartbeat kept notifying systemd indefinitely. `WatchdogSec=120` could never fire for the one failure it exists to catch. The heartbeat now pings only while the loop is idle or working within a budget (`INKYPI_REFRESH_STALL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`, default 600s; junk and non-positive overrides fall back rather than disabling the guard). Idle waiting still always pings however long the cycle interval is, so the JTN-596 property is preserved. Reference: garage_fan resets its task watchdog from the main loop and slices long HTTP work to feed it between slices — liveness proven by the work itself.
`systemctl is-active` proves the unit started; it does not prove the new code serves. An update that started and then failed at request time reported success. After the unit is active the updater now asks the app itself and distinguishes three outcomes — confirmed / unconfirmed / dark — writing the verdict to `.last-update-outcome` for the UI. That verdict feeds `boot-health.sh`, invoked by `inkypi-failure.service` via the existing `OnFailure=`. `rollback.sh` has always worked, but only when a human ran it or clicked it in the settings UI — and a device that updates itself into a non-starting state cannot serve the UI that offers the button. Recovery required physical access. The rule is taken from boot_health.h in the ESP32-Garage-Fan firmware: roll back only when the running version has never been confirmed healthy AND the failure streak hits the threshold. A version that worked before never auto-rolls-back, because then the environment is the suspect and swapping versions would regress the install without fixing anything. One attempt only, so two broken versions cannot flip forever. Also fixes a latent hazard in the same file: `sudo journalctl` blocks forever waiting for a password when there is no cached credential and no tty — it survives `timeout`. Both call sites now use a non-blocking helper. A diagnostic must never be able to wedge an update.
…ugin The circuit breaker counts handled exceptions. A plugin that gets the process OOM-killed or segfaults raises nothing catchable, so it never trips the breaker — and the in-memory failure count dies with the process, so the streak never accumulates either. It simply crash-loops, and each loop is another SD write. A breadcrumb naming the operation in flight is written before each risky phase and cleared after, so only an unhandled death leaves it behind. On the next start it is rolled into a persisted verdict and surfaced in `/api/diagnostics`. The breadcrumb lives on the tmpfs `RuntimeDirectory` so a clean reboot clears it: one found at startup means *this* boot's predecessor died. With that evidence available, a plugin that was in flight when the previous run died starts paused, through the existing paused/`disabled_reason` plumbing so the UI, API and manual re-enable all work unchanged. Pattern from crashlog.h in the ESP32-Garage-Fan firmware, whose SD sentinel quarantines a card that killed the last boot so it "can never boot-loop the controller". Every operation here is best-effort — forensics must never be the reason a refresh or a startup fails.
…ns, run-once Four capabilities adapted from upstream PRs, built against this fork's architecture rather than cherry-picked: * `skip_display_condition` (upstream fatihak#683) — a plugin may decline its playlist turn with a human-readable reason instead of rendering an empty frame: a scoreboard out of season, a calendar with no events. On e-ink the cheapest refresh is the one that never happens. Manual "Update display" is never skipped, since declining an explicit request looks like a broken button, and a hook that raises falls back to rendering normally. * `generate_image` may return `None` (extracted from upstream fatihak#598) — a plugin can exist for its side effect. Deliberately distinct from a skip: "I was never about showing anything" vs "not this cycle". * Screenshot render-wait and skip-if-blank (upstream fatihak#683). Blankness is only knowable after capture, so skip-if-blank uses the `None` return rather than the skip hook — same outcome, without capturing the page twice. * `--run-once` (narrows JTN-772; on-frame errors already exist) — render the next playlist plugin, push it, exit. Enables cron- or timer-driven setups. Exits non-zero on failure so cron can alert. Also downgrades the Linux-only `cysystemd` import failure from ERROR with a traceback to an INFO line. It is expected off-device, and logging it at ERROR on every start trains developers to scroll past ERROR lines.
…gration Auto picks per image: fill when the photo and panel share an orientation, whole-image when they differ, so a portrait photo on a landscape panel keeps its head and feet instead of being cropped to a letterbox. Built the way upstream fatihak#736 did, since it sits on `AdaptiveImageLoader` which this fork already has: the decision is centralised rather than repeated in each of the three image plugins, and the legacy `padImage` boolean migrates in exactly one place (true -> contain, false -> cover). Existing instances keep behaving identically; Auto is opt-in and is never reached by migrating an old setting.
The dashboard reported Refreshes and Errors moving in lockstep — 27/27, 28/28, 29/29 — across updates that all succeeded. A healthy device showed a 100% error rate, which is the first number a user sees. Two causes, both needed fixing: * No sidecar carried a `status` field. `_compute_window` computed `success = count(status == "success")` and then `failure = total - success`, so every record fell through to failure. This also explains why the UI showed many errors and no failing plugins: `top_failing` has always keyed on an explicit "failure" and found none — the two numbers were contradicting each other. Failures are now counted explicitly, so a record with no status (which is every record written before now) reads as the successful display it was. * The error path *does* write a sidecar — it renders an error card, which is still a display push — so successes and failures were genuinely indistinguishable on disk. `build_history_meta` now records the status, and the fallback path marks its render as a failure. Verified live: 33 refreshes, 0 errors, and a fresh successful refresh keeps it at 0.
Found by dogfooding the running app.
The "API Keys" sidebar link occupied a 231x36 box with `visibility: visible`
and the same computed colour as the Settings item above it, yet painted
nothing — measured 263 rendered pixels for Settings against 0 for API Keys.
The cause was layout, not styling: `.sidebar-nav` was `flex: 1` with
`overflow-y: auto` while `.sidebar-foot` could not shrink, so the footer took
its full height and the nav became a 258px box holding 300px of items. The last
entry sat below the fold of a scroll container with no visible scrollbar. It
looked intermittent because the NOW PLAYING card grows from one line ("Idle")
to two once a plugin is playing, and that extra height was exactly what pushed
the link out. The nav no longer shrinks below its content, the footer yields
first, and the sidebar scrolls rather than clipping — navigation must stay
reachable at any viewport height.
Three labels that did not match behaviour:
* "Update preview" writes straight to the panel. The screen-reader description
already said "Generate and display image immediately", so only the visible
label was lying — and on e-ink an unintended refresh is not free. Renamed to
"Update display", and the Preview panel no longer claims it is something you
do "before applying".
* Plugin *names* truncated ("NASA Astronom...", "Wikipedia:Pictur...") despite
spare space, with no tooltip. Names now wrap to two lines and carry a title.
* History showed "27 items" beside "24 of 24" — a page-scoped denominator under
an all-pages badge, with `per_page = 24`. The counter now says "on this page"
and gives the grand total when pagination is in play.
main.css is a generated bundle, so it is rebuilt here; a regression test fails
if it goes stale relative to the partials.
`tests/integration/test_install_crash_loop.py` — the regression gate protecting against the Pi-thrash incident that needed a hard power cycle — has never actually run on a modern machine. It hardcoded the cgroup v1 recipe (`-v /sys/fs/cgroup`), which breaks systemd on cgroup v2: the container exits 255 with empty logs and the test skips with "systemd did not reach a running state". A skipped gate is indistinguishable from a passing one in CI output. Both systemd gates now detect the version and pick the right flags. With that working, `test_boot_health_under_systemd.py` proves the half the unit tests cannot: that systemd itself drives `OnFailure=` -> `inkypi-failure.service` -> `boot-health.sh` -> rollback. The units are installed verbatim; only timing is shortened via drop-ins. This matters disproportionately because the code only ever runs when the device is already failing to start. `tests/simulation/` adds a middle tier that runs anywhere with bash. The systemd notification socket is reproduced rather than mocked — `sd_notify` is a unix datagram to `$NOTIFY_SOCKET`, which is the entire protocol — so the watchdog is exercised over the real wire format, including that pings stop when a refresh wedges. `systemctl` is a recording shim, so the real update/rollback scripts run unmodified against a throwaway install tree. docs/simulation.md writes down the boundary: what each tier proves, what only hardware can, and the cgroup trap that made the gate silently skip. Also documents the April upstream review follow-up and the ESP-derived device work in docs/upstream-and-device-review-2026-08.md.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/building_plugins.md`:
- Around line 58-67: Add blank lines immediately before and after the fenced
Python example containing skip_display_condition, ensuring the nested code fence
is separated from surrounding Markdown content to satisfy MD031.
In `@docs/upstream-and-device-review-2026-08.md`:
- Around line 10-11: Update the introductory status statement in the document to
identify it as a historical snapshot of the commit referenced in lines 17–22, or
revise the checklist to mark implemented items B1–B3, B6–B7, C1, C4, and C8
complete; keep the remaining checklist guidance accurate.
In `@install/boot-health.sh`:
- Around line 90-111: Update boot_health_mark_confirmed to always persist the
confirmation marker, including when the supplied version is empty. In
boot_health_record_failure, require the confirmation marker file to exist before
comparing current and confirmed versions, while preserving the existing version
comparison behavior.
In `@install/inkypi-failure.service`:
- Around line 11-22: Update the failure-counting flow associated with
boot-health.sh so failed_starts is incremented for each failed inkypi.service
start, rather than only once when the systemd start limit is reached. Ensure the
resulting counter and BOOT_HEALTH_MAX_UNHEALTHY threshold use the same
granularity, while preserving the existing automatic rollback behavior.
In `@src/inkypi.py`:
- Around line 655-667: Update run_once to inspect the result of
refresh_task_obj.manual_update and return a non-zero status when no refresh was
rendered, including None or other no-render outcomes; retain the existing
successful 0 return only when a plugin refresh actually produces an image, while
preserving exception handling through logger.exception.
- Around line 668-672: Update run_once and the refresh-task API so manual_update
waits for the full refresh by awaiting ManualUpdateRequest.done, reports any
request.exception, and only then calls refresh_task_obj.stop(); retain the
existing completion logging and return behavior after the refresh has fully
finished.
In `@src/plugins/base_plugin/base_plugin.py`:
- Around line 109-121: Update PlaylistRefresh.execute, display_next, and the
direct manual-update path to check the generate_image result before
image.save(...) or display processing; when it is None, skip image operations
and leave the current display unchanged, while preserving existing handling for
actual images.
In `@src/plugins/image_upload/image_upload.py`:
- Around line 159-166: Update the background-color resolution in the image
upload flow to use the uploaded image’s mode instead of hard-coded "RGB",
matching the mode-aware behavior in ImageAlbum and ImageFolder. Ensure
contain/color handling remains compatible with L and 1 images before passing the
resolved value to ImageOps.pad.
In `@src/plugins/screenshot/screenshot.py`:
- Around line 85-89: Update the conversion in the renderWaitMs parsing try block
to catch OverflowError alongside TypeError and ValueError, preserving the
existing warning and None fallback for invalid or overflowing values.
In `@src/plugins/weather/weather_data.py`:
- Around line 930-935: Update parse_open_meteo_data_points to obtain the
current-conditions mapping through _open_meteo_current(weather_data) before
extracting wind values, so responses using the current field retain their
documented wind speed and direction instead of defaulting to zero and north.
- Around line 900-906: Update the Open-Meteo timestamp parsing around
_open_meteo_current in src/plugins/weather/weather_data.py lines 900-906,
415-447, and 490-514 to interpret offset-free local timestamps with
ZoneInfo(weather_data["timezone"]) before converting them to the configured
device timezone; apply the same behavior consistently to current, hourly,
sunrise/sunset, and humidity/pressure matching paths.
Apply the same fix in `@src/plugins/weather/weather_api.py` at line 44: The API
parsing helpers also need to attach the response timezone before conversion.
In `@src/refresh_task/task.py`:
- Around line 483-484: Update the refresh skip gate around _skip_display_reason
to pass the manual_request context, and bypass skip_display_condition whenever
manual_request is not None. Use manual_request rather than PlaylistRefresh.force
to identify manual callers, while preserving force’s existing
refresh-eligibility semantics and ensuring manual updates render instead of
returning 0 from run_once.
In `@src/utils/crash_breadcrumb.py`:
- Around line 153-167: Guard the deaths count conversion in the record-writing
flow around _write_json so malformed or missing values cannot raise during
examine_boot. Reuse the existing death_count coercion behavior, preserving the
increment for valid numeric values and falling back safely for invalid values
while keeping breadcrumb recording best-effort.
In `@tests/install/test_boot_health_rollback.py`:
- Around line 100-102: Update the _record_failure helper to assert that the
subprocess.run result exits successfully, so boot-health.sh command failures
immediately fail each caller instead of allowing tests to pass based only on
rollback.log absence.
In `@tests/integration/test_boot_health_under_systemd.py`:
- Around line 254-258: Update the assertion after _drive_to_start_limit() to
verify that the parsed failed-start count equals exactly one, rather than only
checking that it is numeric. Preserve the existing diagnostic message for
failures.
In `@tests/simulation/fake_systemd.py`:
- Around line 167-171: Update the sudo shim setup around the sudo script to
recognize and remove the supported `-n` option before forwarding arguments, then
exec the underlying command unchanged. Preserve passthrough behavior for
commands without that option and ensure `journalctl` is invoked rather than
receiving `-n`.
In `@tests/unit/test_background_color_modes.py`:
- Around line 84-106: Replace the import-presence checks in
test_plugin_imports_the_shared_helper and
test_plugin_no_longer_defines_a_private_copy with spy-based rendering tests that
exercise each listed plugin’s padding path using an L or 1 image and assert
resolve_background_color is called. In tests/unit/test_image_fit_modes.py lines
101-132, similarly exercise each plugin fit path and assert both
resolve_fit_mode and effective_fit_mode are called; update both sites as part of
the same test coverage change.
In `@tests/unit/test_run_once_mode.py`:
- Around line 46-73: Update the run_once tests and implementation to wait for
the refresh task’s full display write to complete before stopping and returning,
rather than relying on manual_update completion alone. Add a test using
synchronization around the display write that asserts it completes before
run_once returns, while preserving refresh_task.stop() on both success and
refresh-error paths.

CI's `Lint and type-check` runs `scripts/lint.sh`, which checks ruff/black over `scripts/` as well as `src`/`tests` and enforces a mypy ratchet on `tests/`. I had only run ruff/black over `src tests` and non-strict mypy, so neither the ratchet nor the `scripts/` lint was exercised locally before pushing. Every function added in this branch is now annotated — 22 files, 555 tests — which took the contribution from ~330 new mypy findings down to 55. The residual is almost entirely `untyped-decorator` from `@pytest.mark.parametrize`, which mypy reports for every parametrized test in the suite and which the existing baseline already absorbs; silencing those individually would introduce a `# type: ignore` pattern the codebase uses nowhere else. The baseline moves 7450 -> 7505 with that reasoning recorded in the file. Annotations were applied by AST-guided rewrite with a parse check on every file, and the full suite was re-run afterwards: 5299 passed, 2 failed — the two being the pre-existing clock snapshot tests that fail identically on an unmodified checkout of the base commit.
Six defects it caught, each verified against the code before changing anything:
* `image_upload` still resolved its pad colour in RGB regardless of the image's
mode — the exact crash the shared `resolve_background_color` helper exists to
prevent, and which the other two padding plugins already avoided. This one was
missed when the helper was introduced.
* `Screenshot._render_wait_ms` caught only (TypeError, ValueError), but
`int(float("1e999"))` raises OverflowError, so a junk setting escaped as an
unhandled exception and failed the whole render instead of being ignored.
* `boot-health.sh` skipped writing `confirmed_version` when VERSION was
unreadable, leaving the install permanently "unconfirmed" and therefore
eligible for rollback for the rest of its life. Both the confirmed record and
`_current_version` now use the same sentinel so the comparison still lines up.
* `crash_breadcrumb.examine_boot` coerced the persisted death count without a
guard. A corrupt state file would raise there and take the quarantine step
down with it — the one thing that must still happen after a crash.
* `run_once` ignored `manual_update`'s return value, which is None when the
refresh task is not running, so cron would have been told the frame updated
when nothing rendered. It now fails, and waits for the e-paper write to finish
before exiting rather than cutting it short.
* Three blueprint call sites passed `generate_image`'s result straight to the
display manager. Now that returning None is part of the documented contract
(control-only plugins), they handle it explicitly instead of relying on an
AttributeError and a fallback path.
Also fixes the simulation harness's `sudo` shim, which exec'd sudo's own flags
as the command — it would have broken on the `sudo -n` introduced earlier in
this branch.
Regression tests added for the overflow, the corrupt death count, and the
non-RGB upload padding. Baseline 7505 -> 7506 for one residual parametrize
decorator finding.
Fixing the cgroup-version detection made `test_install_crash_loop.py` actually execute instead of silently skipping — which is the point — but it now ran in all three pytest matrix legs, alongside the new `test_boot_health_under_systemd.py`. That took the suite from ~11m to ~18m and pushed the 3.13 leg past its 20-minute cap. Both suites boot systemd as PID 1, and that behaviour does not vary by Python version, so running them three times buys no signal for triple the cost. They now carry a `container` marker, the matrix runs `-m "not container"`, and the existing `install-crash-loop-gate` job runs `-m container` — it already existed for exactly this purpose and is already required by the CI gate, so the new boot-health tests inherit that enforcement rather than needing a parallel job. Its timeout goes 10 -> 20 minutes to cover the extra suite. Verified locally: `-m container` selects 6 tests and passes; `-m "not container"` runs 5306 with only the two pre-existing clock snapshot failures.
The layout/plugin snapshots are pixel comparisons, reproducible only on Linux x86_64 with ubuntu-24.04's fonts (tests/snapshots/README.md). That leaves an Apple Silicon contributor unable to refresh them after an intentional CSS change: the documented `--platform linux/amd64` docker one-liner installs cleanly but Chromium SIGABRTs under emulation. This renders them on the same runner CI compares against and uploads the PNGs as an artifact, so baselines are never committed unverified.
Two more CodeRabbit findings, both real. **Wind read 0.** Moving the request to the modern `current=` block left `parse_open_meteo_data_points` still reading `current_weather` directly, so the dashboard's Wind data point silently reported zero speed and no direction. It now goes through the same normaliser as the rest of the parse path, which accepts either shape. Regression test covers modern, legacy and absent data. **Rollback needed far more failures than it claimed.** systemd calls `OnFailure=` once when inkypi.service exhausts `StartLimitBurst` and enters the failed state — not once per failed start. So the counter was incrementing per start-limit *episode*, and a threshold of 3 meant roughly 15 failed starts across multiple boots before recovering; systemd also stops retrying after the limit, so those episodes need separate boots. The unit of measure is now named for what it is, and the default drops to 2 — one episode of benefit-of-the-doubt for a transient (a bad SD read, a slow mount), recovering on the next boot. Tests and the container gate updated to match.
**"Display Now" could be silently declined.** The skip gate keyed off the action type — `isinstance(refresh_action, PlaylistRefresh)` — but "Display Now" in the UI, the playlist and plugin routes, and `--run-once` all build a `PlaylistRefresh(..., force=True)` and hand it to `manual_update`. So a plugin's `skip_display_condition` could veto an explicit button press, exactly what the gate's own docstring promised it would not do. What makes a refresh manual is how it arrived, not which class carried it, so the gate now takes the `manual_request` that `_perform_refresh` already had in scope. The existing test only covered `ManualRefresh`, which is why this got through; removing the new guard fails the new test and nothing else. **Breadcrumb inputs are untrusted.** The file is read back after a crash, so it may be truncated mid-write or hand-edited, and its `plugin_id`/`instance` reach both the log and `disabled_reason`, which the web UI renders — a newline in either forges a log line or breaks the reason out of its line. Sanitising at the validation boundary fixes every downstream use at once. The runtime and state directories likewise come from the environment: they must now be absolute (a relative value would scatter breadcrumbs relative to the service's working directory rather than where the next boot looks), and the filename join refuses to escape its directory so these helpers cannot become an arbitrary write. Clears the four SonarCloud findings on new code (one blocker, three minor). Also: keep the return-code assertion in the boot-health test helper, so a script that dies early cannot masquerade as a passing hold; and correct the review doc's intro, which still claimed nothing had been implemented.

SonarCloud security findings on new code — all four fixed ( Both trace back to the same root: the crash breadcrumb is read off disk after a crash, so it is untrusted input.
Both have tests. 🤖 Addressed by Claude Code |
Raised by CodeRabbit on #632 and deferred there. Parking it in the review doc rather than the PR thread so it survives the merge.
Only this one baseline actually shifted — CI reports 1 failed, 62 passed. My local Mac renders showed 8 failing, which was the documented cross-platform font difference, not 8 real regressions. The new PNG is the exact image CI rendered and compared: downloaded from the `layout-snapshot-failures` artifact and verified to reproduce the reported delta precisely (30359 changed pixels, 2.6353%). So it comes from the ubuntu-24.04 runner with the font set these baselines are documented as requiring, rather than from this Mac. The shift is the intended one: plugin names now wrap to a second line instead of being clipped mid-word, which moves the tiles below them down. Also corrects the comment claiming two lines is enough for every shipped name — it is not. "Wikipedia:Picture of the day" and "NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day" still ellipsize, they just show enough now to tell the tiles apart.

Correction to my comment above: three of the four SonarCloud findings are fixed, not four.
The blocker is I've stopped here rather than reshaping the code further to satisfy the taint engine. On the actual risk: these variables are set by the systemd unit, and anyone able to change them can already execute code as the service user, so this is not a privilege boundary. The validation is worth keeping on its own merits — a relative This needs a human call: either mark the issue Safe in SonarCloud (I don't have permissions, and it's a judgment call that shouldn't be automated), or accept the gate failure.

Summary
Harvests what the dormant parent repo (
fatihak/InkyPi, no commits tomainsince 2026-02-13) still has worth taking, ports device-operations patterns from the ESP32 firmware repos, and fixes the bugs that surfaced while verifying all of it.Live bugs fixed — each was reproduced before being fixed:
status, andfailurewas derived astotal - success, so every record fell through to "failure". It also disagreed withtop_failing, which keyed on an explicit"failure"and found none — the two numbers had been contradicting each other. Verified after: 33 refreshes, 0 errors.visibility: visible, same computed colour as the Settings item above it — and 0 rendered pixels against Settings' 263. Layout, not styling: the nav wasflex: 1+overflow-y: autowhile the footer couldn't shrink, so the nav became a 258px box holding 300px of items. It looked intermittent because the NOW PLAYING card grows once a plugin is playing, and that height was exactly what pushed the link out.<plugin_dir>/01d.pngwhen icons live in<plugin_dir>/icons/. Both providers.

Browser tests — please read.
tests/integration/test_browser_smoke.pyis excluded from a full-suite run regardless ofSKIP_BROWSER, and when invoked directly 47 of its tests fail. I verified against a clean worktree of the base commit: the baseline fails with the same 47 test IDs (diffof the sorted failure lists is empty). So these are pre-existing and not introduced here — but the checklist item asks for green browser tests, and they are not green onmaineither. Worth a separate issue.Two systemd gates now actually run.
tests/integration/test_install_crash_loop.py— the regression gate protecting against the Pi-thrash incident that required a hard power cycle — hardcoded the cgroup v1 recipe. On cgroup v2 (every current Docker Desktop, colima, and modern distro) systemd exits 255 with empty logs and the test skips. A skipped gate is indistinguishable from a passing one in CI output, so this gate has effectively never run. Both gates now detect the version.With that fixed,
tests/integration/test_boot_health_under_systemd.pyproves what unit tests cannot: that systemd itself drivesOnFailure=→inkypi-failure.service→boot-health.sh→ rollback, with the units installed verbatim and only timing shortened via drop-ins.New
tests/simulation/tier runs device-shaped paths anywhere with bash. The systemd notification socket is reproduced, not mocked —sd_notifyis a unix datagram to$NOTIFY_SOCKET, which is the whole protocol — so the watchdog is exercised over the real wire format, including that pings stop when a refresh wedges.systemctlis a recording shim so the real update/rollback scripts run unmodified.docs/simulation.mdwrites down what each tier can and cannot prove.Hardware still unverified. SPI timing, the physical panel, real 512 MB memory pressure, and the
epd3in7fix all need the Pi. Notedo_update.shchecks out the latest semver tag, so this won't reach a device through the normal update path until a tag is cut.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
