Rebased #287 onto main and fixed the three things that stopped it working. Supersedes #287 — that branch stacked on #286, whose content reached main through #293 in a fixed form, so only its own commit is carried here.

The rebase itself was clean: the code applied without conflict, and the only collisions were manifest version numbers and the generated registry.

What it does

Backs off the live-game poll while a league has nothing on. Out of season, and between games, the poll interval escalates instead of hammering ESPN on a live cadence. A live game resets it immediately — the interval is chosen from self.live_games, not from the streak, so the fetch that finds a game restores the 15s cadence on the very next tick. An in-progress game is never delayed.

Two settings, both advanced: no_data_interval_seconds and live_idle_max_interval_seconds.

Three fixes on top of #287

1. Neither setting could reach the code. Each plugin's _adapt_config_for_manager builds its output key by key, so a key it doesn't name is dropped — the same defect that made the schedule window inert, which #293 fixed by naming those two keys in a loop. Rather than add two more names to nine copies of a hard-coded tuple, the loop now walks a module-level _ROOT_CONFIG_KEYS listing every plugin-root setting SportsCore reads, so the next one is declared once.

Verified by running all nine adapters for real:

before:  no_data_interval_seconds / live_idle_max_interval_seconds -> LOST (all nine)
after:   ALL 4 REACH ROOT (all nine)

2. The ceiling didn't bound the base interval. _idle_live_interval ended with a bare return base. The two settings are independent integers with no cross-validation, so base > ceiling is reachable — base=3600 with the default 900 ceiling gave 3600s at streak 0 and 900s at streak 24. The interval shrank as the streak grew, the opposite of what a setting named "maximum" promises. Now min(base, ceiling):

base / ceiling streak 0 / 6 / 24 / 100 never decreases
300 / 900 300, 600, 900, 900
3600 / 900 900, 900, 900, 900
1800 / 7200 1800, 3600, 7200, 7200

3. The escalation test could not fail. It compared long_wait against a second call of the same method with the same state. Now compared against the short-streak value. Mutation-checked: making the long branch behave like the short one is caught; previously it wasn't.

Testing

Trade-off worth stating

The cap is reached after ~24 empty checks (≈2.5h idle), which every overnight gap exceeds. Worst-case first-sighting latency for a game starting after a quiet spell goes from ~295s to ~897s. That's the cost of the saved calls; it does not affect a game already in progress.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable idle live-game polling intervals and maximum back-off limits across scoreboard plugins.
    • Polling now progressively slows when no live games are found, remains within configured limits, and returns to normal when games resume.
    • Added advanced settings with validation and defaults of 300 seconds and 900 seconds.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected idle polling behavior so configured intervals are honored beyond the previous fixed delay.
  • Chores

    • Updated plugin versions, release histories, and the plugin catalog.

Rebases #287 onto main and fixes the three things that stopped it working.
#287 stacked on #286, whose content reached main through #293 in a fixed
form, so only its own commit is carried here; the code applied cleanly and
the only conflicts were manifest version numbers and the generated registry.

The two settings could not reach the code. Each plugin's
_adapt_config_for_manager builds its output key by key, so a key it does not
name is dropped -- the same defect that made the schedule window inert, and
#293 fixed that by naming those two keys in a loop. Rather than adding two
more names to nine copies of a hard-coded tuple, the loop now walks a
module-level _ROOT_CONFIG_KEYS listing every plugin-root setting SportsCore
reads, so the next one only has to be declared once. Verified by running all
nine adapters: with all four keys set, all four now arrive at the config
root.

The ceiling did not bound the base interval. _idle_live_interval ended with
a bare `return base`, and the two settings are independent integers with no
cross-validation, so base > ceiling is a reachable config -- base=3600 with
the default 900 ceiling waited 3600s at streak 0 and 900s at streak 24. The
interval shrank as the streak grew, which is the opposite of what a setting
named "maximum" promises. Now min(base, ceiling), and checked across three
base/ceiling combinations that the sequence never decreases.

The test for that escalation could not fail: it compared long_wait to a
second call of the same method with the same state. Compared against the
short-streak value now. Mutation-checked -- making the long branch behave
like the short one is caught, where before it was not.

The plumbing test from #293 covers all four keys rather than two: removing
the loop from the nine adapters fails 36 of 36 checks.

All 104 test files across the nine plugins pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Scoreboard plugins now expose bounded idle-polling settings, propagate them through manager configuration, and use streak-based live polling backoff. Standalone regression tests cover escalation, caps, reset behavior, clamping, and update wiring. Plugin manifests and the catalog were updated.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e92f4

The polling-backoff feature currently does not consistently honor configured intervals, especially for custom leagues, and certain valid settings can cause startup failure. These are concrete correctness and runtime risks that should be fixed before merging.

Read idle-poll settings from the root config.

_ROOT_CONFIG_KEYS forwards both settings to the root config, but all nine scoreboard implementations read them from self.mode_config. Change both lookups to self.config.get(...); otherwise configured values always use the defaults.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The stand-in class bypasses SportsLive.__init__, so it cannot catch the config-lookup defect found in sports.py.

_Live sets self.no_data_interval and self.live_idle_max_interval directly. It never exercises SportsLive.__init__'s derivation of these two attributes from self.mode_config.get(...). Because of this, the mismatch between where the manager places these settings (root of config) and where SportsLive.__init__ reads them (self.mode_config, a nested sub-dict) is invisible to this test suite, even though the suite exercises the escalation math thoroughly.

Consider adding a test that constructs SportsLive (or a narrower helper covering just the two _clamp_seconds calls in __init__) against a manager-shaped config dict with no_data_interval_seconds placed at the root, to confirm the configured value is actually picked up.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

_clamp_seconds omits the OverflowError handling that _clamp_window in the same codebase already applies for the identical failure mode. plugins/soccer-scoreboard/sports.py's _clamp_window explicitly catches OverflowError with the comment "json parses bare Infinity by default, and int(inf) raises". The newly added _clamp_seconds in every reviewed sports.py file only catches (TypeError, ValueError), so a bare Infinity value for no_data_interval_seconds or live_idle_max_interval_seconds raises an uncaught OverflowError and crashes SportsLive.__init__.

Read the idle-poll settings from self.config in all nine scoreboard plugins. SportsCore stores the manager output in self.config, while self.mode_config contains only the league section. The managers copy both root keys to self.config, so the current lookups always use the fallback values of 300 and 900 seconds. Replace both self.mode_config.get(...) calls with self.config.get(...) in plugins/{afl,baseball,basketball,football,hockey,lacrosse,nrl,soccer,ufc}-scoreboard/sports.py.

Forward idle-poll settings to custom league managers.

_adapt_config_for_manager() now copies the root keys, but _adapt_config_for_custom_league() returns its manager configuration without the same loop. Custom soccer leagues therefore ignore root-level no_data_interval_seconds and live_idle_max_interval_seconds values and use SportsCore defaults.

Add the forwarding loop to _adapt_config_for_custom_league() and extend scripts/test_schedule_window_plumbing.py with a custom-league case.

Proposed fix
         manager_config.update({
             "timezone": timezone_str,
             "display": display_config,
             "customization": customization_config,
         })

+                manager_config[_root_key] = self.config[_root_key]

In `@plugins/soccer-scoreboard/manager.py` around lines 477 - 485, Update
_adapt_config_for_custom_league() to copy each configured key from
_ROOT_CONFIG_KEYS into the custom league manager configuration, matching
_adapt_config_for_manager() so no_data_interval_seconds and
live_idle_max_interval_seconds are forwarded. Extend
scripts/test_schedule_window_plumbing.py with a custom-league case that verifies
these root-level idle-poll settings reach the manager configuration.

Review follow-up on the back-off change. Five findings, four real.

The settings were read from self.mode_config -- the per-league
{sport_key}_scoreboard block -- while the schema declares them, and the web
UI writes them, at the config root. Nothing ever wrote them where the code
looked, so a user who changed either value silently kept the default and the
whole setting was inert. The plumbing added alongside it carried the keys to
the root, and the test asserted they arrived there, but neither established
that the root was where they were read from: the wrong invariant, verified
thoroughly. Now read from the root with mode_config kept as a fallback, so a
hand-placed per-league value still works.

Also:

- _clamp_seconds now catches OverflowError, the gap _clamp_window in the same
  file already covered. json accepts bare Infinity by default and int(inf)
  raises, so a hand-edited config could take down the update loop.

- soccer's custom leagues go through a second whitelist adapter that was left
  out of the forwarding, so these settings applied to every built-in league
  but silently not to custom ones. Same defect class, second instance.

- the back-off test built a stand-in object and set the intervals on it by
  hand, so it could not see the config lookup at all -- which is exactly how
  the defect above survived it. It now constructs a real SportsLive from a
  real config dict and asserts on what __init__ resolved. Only
  SportsCore.__init__ is stubbed (it pulls in logo downloading, fonts and an
  ESPN data source); the lookup lines themselves run for real, and the stub's
  two assumptions are asserted against the real SportsCore AST so they cannot
  drift unnoticed.

  That guard earned itself immediately: ufc-scoreboard keys its league block
  on the bare sport_key rather than {sport_key}_scoreboard, so a hardcoded
  key made the test assert fiction there. The key is now read out of the
  source instead.

Verified by mutation, per plugin: reverting the read to mode_config fails 2
checks, letting a stale per-league value shadow the root fails 1, dropping
OverflowError raises, removing the custom-league forwarding fails 4, and
either stub assumption breaking fails its own check. The two pre-existing
baseball failures (test_config_reload, test_odds_placement) are byte-identical
on main and untouched here.

Addressed. Four of the five were real; one I'm skipping with a reason.

1 & 4 — read the idle-poll settings from the root (sports.py, all nine plugins). Correct, and it was a real defect in this PR. The schema declares no_data_interval_seconds and live_idle_max_interval_seconds at the config root — no league block has them, so the web UI can only ever write them there. The code read them from self.mode_config, the per-league {sport_key}_scoreboard block. Nothing ever wrote them where the code looked, so changing either value did nothing and every user silently kept the default.

Worth naming how this got through: the plumbing carried the keys to the root and the test asserted they arrived there. Both passed. Neither established that the root is where they're read from — the wrong invariant, verified thoroughly.

Now read from the root, with mode_config kept as a fallback so a hand-placed per-league value still works.

2 — the stand-in class bypasses SportsLive.__init__. Correct, and it's why the above survived the test: the test set no_data_interval on a stand-in by hand, so the config lookup never ran. It now builds a real SportsLive from a real config dict and asserts on what __init__ resolved. Only SportsCore.__init__ is stubbed — it pulls in logo downloading, fonts and an ESPN data source — so the lookup lines run for real, and the stub's two assumptions are asserted against the real SportsCore AST so they can't drift unnoticed.

That guard paid for itself immediately: ufc-scoreboard keys its league block on the bare sport_key, not {sport_key}_scoreboard, so my hardcoded key made the test assert fiction there. The key is now read out of the source.

3 — _clamp_seconds is missing OverflowError. Correct. json accepts bare Infinity by default and int(inf) raises, so a hand-edited config could take down the update loop. Now matches _clamp_window.

5 — forward to custom league managers. Correct — same defect class, second instance. Soccer's custom leagues go through their own whitelist adapter that was left out of the forwarding, so these settings applied to every built-in league but silently not to custom ones.

Skipped: no manifest bump for this round. The versions are already bumped relative to main and nothing has shipped at those numbers, so these fixes ride the same version rather than inflating it. plugins.json regenerates unchanged (no manifest edits).

Verified by mutation, per plugin — each of these fails the suite when reverted:

mutation result
read reverted to mode_config 2 checks fail
stale per-league value shadows the root 1 check fails
OverflowError dropped from _clamp_seconds raises
custom-league forwarding removed 4 checks fail
SportsCore stores a sub-dict as self.config fidelity check fails
mode_config sourced from outside config fidelity check fails

All nine backoff suites and the plumbing test pass. The two pre-existing baseball failures (test_config_reload, test_odds_placement) are byte-identical on main and untouched here.

The web UI's config form iterates x-propertyOrder and nothing else:

    {% set property_order = schema['x-propertyOrder']
                            if 'x-propertyOrder' in schema
                            else schema.properties.keys()|list %}
    {% for key in property_order %}
        {% if key in schema.properties %}

A property the schema declares but that list omits is therefore never
rendered. No field, no error, no hint the setting exists. The value still
validates on save and the plugin still reads it, so the only way to set one
was to hand-edit config.json on the device.

Twenty-six settings across seven plugins were in that state:

  ledmatrix-flights   flightaware_api_key + 7 more
  basketball          scroll_card, background_service, both idle intervals
  afl / nrl / soccer  scroll_card, both idle intervals
  masters-tournament  four duration/sizing settings
  f1-scoreboard       customization.auto_scale

Two of those deserve calling out. ledmatrix-flights' flightaware_api_key is
marked x-secret: true -- someone set up masking for a field that could not be
typed into. And the idle-poll intervals are the ones whose plumbing was fixed
in #295 so they would finally take effect; they still could not be set.

These are omissions, not deliberate hiding. Twenty-two of the twenty-six
already carry x-advanced: true, and nobody flags a field "advanced" meaning
"invisible" -- x-advanced is the supported way to de-emphasise one, and it
puts the field in a collapsed Advanced Settings section. There is no
supported way to hide a property and no schema in the repo attempts it.

What hid this for so long is an asymmetry between the two renderers: the
client-side one in app-shell.js sorts unlisted properties into an
unorderedEntries list and still shows them, while the server-rendered form
drops them. The same schema looks fine in one and is unreachable in the
other.

Order-only change: verified per plugin that the schemas are byte-identical
once x-propertyOrder is stripped, so nothing was added, renamed or retyped.

scripts/test_property_order_coverage.py guards it, and does not merely assert
the rule -- it lifts the ordering loop out of the shipped template, renders it
with a two-property schema listing only one, and shows the other never reaches
the form. Mutation-checked: dropping flightaware_api_key back out fails the
check by name. All 52 test suites across the seven plugins exit 0.
