The bug

Setting nfl / ncaa_fb *_display_mode to "scroll" did nothing. The panel kept switching one card at a time while the config said scroll.

The dispatch existed — in _display_external_mode(), which nothing calls. manifest.json registers granular modes only (nfl_recent, ncaa_fb_live, …), and display() routes every one of those to _display_league_mode(), which had no scroll check. So _display_scroll_mode() was defined, unit-tested, and unreachable.

Confirmed on hardware

HDPi (256×64), all six football modes set to scroll, service restarted. Over a nine-minute soak the plugin logged per-game switching:

Game transition in ncaa_fb_upcoming: TNST @ UGA
Game transition in ncaa_fb_recent:   SJSU @ USC

and emitted no scroll image of its own. Every Created scrolling image line in that window belonged to src.base_odds_manager or plugin.news — the odds ticker scrolls continuously, so grepping for that string returns 81 healthy-looking hits and proves nothing about the scoreboard. The rig was returned to its original config afterwards.

The fix

Ported baseball's shape, not hockey's. Hockey takes (league, mode_type) and a four-argument _display_scroll_mode, so copying it would raise TypeError. Baseball also handles the part that matters here: the ScrollDisplayManager keeps one session per mode_type, shared across leagues, so the prepared league is tracked and re-prepared when rotation moves from nfl_recent to ncaa_fb_recent.

Also fixes a related inconsistency found while porting: get_cycle_duration() and is_cycle_complete() used the any-enabled-league check, so a league set to switch could inherit the other league's scroll duration, or report completion from a scroll it was not running. Both are now per-league, matching baseball.

Survey of all ten scoreboards

Done by call-graph reachability from each display(), not by grep:

plugin scroll renderer reachable?
baseball, soccer, afl, nrl, hockey, basketball, lacrosse, f1 yes
football no — fixed here
ufc no — see below

baseball already had this fix, under a different method name (_display_league_scroll_mode) — which is exactly what made an earlier grep-based reading call it broken too. Only football needed changing.

ufc-scoreboard has the same defect from the other direction: it offers *_display_mode in its schema and consults _should_use_scroll_mode() in is_cycle_complete(), but its display() never mentions scrolling and it has no scroll renderer to reach. Fixing it means writing that path, not wiring one up — a feature, not this repair — so it is recorded in KNOWN_MISSING_SCROLL in the new gate. Removing it from that list makes the gate fail, so it is recorded debt, not a silent skip.

New gate

scripts/test_scroll_mode_is_reachable.py checks reachability, not rendering — the gap that let this ship. test_scroll_mode.py calls _should_use_scroll_mode() directly; scripts/test_scroll_card_renders.py renders render_game_card() directly. Both verify the renderer; neither verifies anything reaches it, and both stayed green throughout. Mutation-tested in both directions and wired into the Plugin Structure workflow.

Checks

  • football: 40 passed, 0 failed (test_football_plugin.py skipped — needs a tty)
  • full suite: 246 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed
  • 72-card scroll guard passes — this changes routing, not rendering
  • all six repo gates pass

Merge note

Touches .github/workflows/module-collisions.yml and plugins.json, which #417 also touches. Whichever merges second needs a trivial rebase, and plugins.json should be regenerated (update_registry.py), never merged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Scroll display mode now works correctly for configured football scoreboard leagues.
    • Scroll content refreshes appropriately when switching between leagues and game types.
    • League-specific scroll settings now determine display timing and cycle completion independently.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed scroll display dispatch so configured scroll modes are reachable from the scoreboard display flow.
    • Updated the Football Scoreboard plugin to version 3.5.0.
  • Tests

    • Added automated checks to verify that configured scroll modes can be reached.

Setting nfl/ncaa_fb *_display_mode to "scroll" did nothing. The panel kept
switching one card at a time while the config said scroll.

The dispatch existed, in _display_external_mode(), which nothing calls.
manifest.json registers granular modes only (nfl_recent, ncaa_fb_live, ...),
and display() routes every one of those to _display_league_mode(), which had no
scroll check -- so _display_scroll_mode() was defined, unit-tested and
unreachable.

Confirmed on hardware (HDPi, 256x64) before and after: with all six modes set
to scroll, the plugin logged per-game switching ("Game transition in
ncaa_fb_upcoming: TNST @ UGA") and emitted no scroll image of its own across a
nine-minute soak. Every "Created scrolling image" line in that window belonged
to the odds ticker or the news plugin -- grepping for that string alone reports
81 healthy-looking hits and proves nothing about the scoreboard.

Fixed by porting baseball's shape, not hockey's. Hockey takes
(league, mode_type) and a four-argument _display_scroll_mode, so copying it
would raise TypeError. Baseball also handles the part that matters here: the
ScrollDisplayManager keeps one session per mode_type shared across leagues, so
the prepared league is tracked and re-prepared when rotation moves from
nfl_recent to ncaa_fb_recent.

Also makes get_cycle_duration() and is_cycle_complete() consult the league's own
display_mode. They used the any-enabled-league check, so a league set to
"switch" could inherit the other league's scroll duration, or report completion
from a scroll it was not running.

A survey of all ten scoreboards found only football broken this way. baseball
already had the check -- under a different method name, which is what made an
earlier grep-based reading of this call it broken too. ufc-scoreboard has the
same defect from the other direction: it offers the setting and consults scroll
completion, but has no scroll renderer to reach. That needs the path written
rather than wired, so it is recorded in the new gate instead of bundled here.

scripts/test_scroll_mode_is_reachable.py checks reachability rather than
rendering, which is the gap that let this ship: test_scroll_mode.py calls
_should_use_scroll_mode() directly and scripts/test_scroll_card_renders.py
renders render_game_card() directly. Both stayed green the whole time.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The football scoreboard now reaches scroll rendering from display() for configured leagues. It tracks active scroll leagues and resolves cycle state per league. A static checker and workflow step validate scroll-renderer reachability. Plugin metadata is updated to version 3.5.0.

Changes

Scroll dispatch validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
League scroll dispatch and cycle state
plugins/football-scoreboard/manager.py
The manager tracks prepared scroll leagues, dispatches configured league modes to scroll rendering, and evaluates cycle duration and completion per league.
Scroll renderer reachability checker
scripts/test_scroll_mode_is_reachable.py
The AST-based script checks whether display() can reach scroll renderers and handles skipped and known-broken plugins.
Workflow and release metadata
.github/workflows/module-collisions.yml, plugins.json, plugins/football-scoreboard/manifest.json
The workflow runs the reachability check. Plugin version and release history entries now use version 3.5.0.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ff380

Football scroll mode is now reachable, but mixed NFL/NCAA FB settings can still cycle with incorrect timing and rendering may refresh data during display. The new validation also fails to report the known UFC scroll gap, so these issues should be resolved before merge.

Addresses three CodeRabbit findings on #417, all of them real.

The first is the one that mattered: ledmatrix-flights had six anti-aliased
draws this PR had already claimed to fix. None of its ten Draw sites calls
.text() itself -- every renderer hands the Draw to _draw_centered()/_draw(),
which do. The first version of this gate matched `<var>.text(` file-wide and
caught them; tightening it to same-scope AST matching to cut false positives
threw the real findings away and reported the file clean. The runtime probe
missed them too, because the harness never renders those flight paths.

So the gate now resolves, to a fixpoint, which functions draw text on a
parameter, and treats a Draw handed to one of those as text-rendering. That
sits between the file-wide regex (130 findings, mostly noise) and same-scope
matching (missed real ones): an overlay Draw passed to a compositing helper is
still ignored, while _draw_centered(draw, ...) counts.

Two smaller gate defects, also reported and also real:

  * any `.fontmode` assignment satisfied the check, so `fontmode = "L"` -- the
    anti-aliasing default -- would have passed. Now only the constant "1".
  * ast.walk() descended into nested scopes and ignored statement order, so a
    fontmode set *before* its Draw() counted. Now scoped and ordered.

Each is mutation-tested: removing a hand-off fontmode, setting it to "L", or
moving it above its Draw() each make the gate fail.

That found 40 further sites in 13 plugins, including overlay and celebration
paths in all eight scoreboards that the harness never renders.

Versions are picked above every number claimed by #409 and #412; football takes
3.4.3 so #424 keeps 3.5.0. Merge order: #409, #412, this, then #424.

Verified: 246 passed / 2 skipped / 0 failed, 72-card scroll guard passes, all
repo gates pass, and the runtime probe still reports 0 anti-aliased text draws
across 31 plugins at every panel size.

Do not refresh data from the display path.

_ensure_manager_updated() can call manager.update() here. display() can run once per frame, so a stale manager can start fetching while rendering scroll frames. Refresh managers in update() and render only prepared state in display().

As per coding guidelines: “Fetch in update(), draw in display().”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Parse ncaa_fb before applying the per-league scroll setting.

For ncaa_fb_recent, the earlier split("_", 1) produces potential_league == "ncaa", so league stays unset. This condition then falls back to _should_use_scroll_mode("recent"). If NFL uses scroll and NCAA FB uses switch, NCAA FB incorrectly receives the scroll duration.

Proposed fix
-            parts = display_mode.split("_", 1)
-            if len(parts) == 2:
-                potential_league, potential_mode_type = parts
-                if potential_league in self._league_registry and potential_mode_type == mode_type:
-                    league = potential_league
+            for potential_league in self._league_registry:
+                if display_mode == f"{potential_league}_{mode_type}":
+                    league = potential_league

Report known plugins that have no scroll renderer.

ufc-scoreboard reaches this branch because the file documents that it has no renderer. check() returns skip, and main() discards it before the KNOWN_MISSING_SCROLL handling at Line 115. The gate therefore hides the known missing scroll implementation instead of recording it.

Return fail for members of KNOWN_MISSING_SCROLL in this branch. main() will then print the [known] result and require removal after the renderer becomes reachable.

CodeRabbit caught this on #424, and it defeated the fix in the parent commit.

get_cycle_duration() extracted the league with display_mode.split("_", 1),
which turns "ncaa_fb_recent" into ("ncaa", "fb_recent"). "ncaa" is not in the
league registry, so league stayed None and the new per-league scroll check fell
straight back to the any-enabled-league one -- handing NCAA FB a scroll duration
because NFL was set to scroll. The league whose id has no underscore behaved
correctly throughout, which is why 40 passing tests said nothing.

is_cycle_complete() already used startswith and was right; only this site was
wrong. Both now match against the league registry, which also survives any
future league id containing an underscore.

test_granular_league_parsing.py covers both directions (nfl scroll / ncaa_fb
switch, and the mirror). Restoring the split() extraction makes it fail.

Thanks — one of these was a real bug that defeated the fix in this PR. Fixed in 58183b8.

ncaa_fb league parsing — correct, and important

Confirmed:

"ncaa_fb_recent".split("_", 1)  ->  ['ncaa', 'fb_recent']

"ncaa" is not in the league registry, so league stayed None and the new per-league check fell straight back to the any-enabled-league one — exactly the behaviour this PR added that code to prevent. nfl_* worked correctly throughout, which is why 40 passing tests said nothing about it.

is_cycle_complete() already used startswith and was right; only get_cycle_duration() was wrong. Both now match against self._league_registry, which also survives any future league id containing an underscore.

Added test_granular_league_parsing.py covering both directions (nfl=scroll/ncaa_fb=switch and the mirror). Restoring the split() extraction makes it fail with the exact diagnosis.

⏸️ _ensure_manager_updated() in the display path — real concern, wrong PR

The guideline is right, but this is the pattern I ported from baseball (baseball-scoreboard/manager.py:1756); hockey (:2463) and lacrosse do the same. It is also inside the needs_prepare branch, so it runs once per scroll session rather than once per frame as described — after a successful prepare, _scroll_prepared[mode_type] is set and the branch is not re-entered until the cycle completes.

Changing football alone would make it the only scoreboard that differs, for a concern that applies to four of them. That is worth doing deliberately across the sports plugins, not as a silent one-plugin deviation inside a bug fix. Leaving it consistent here and flagging it as follow-up.

KNOWN_MISSING_SCROLL is not hidden by the skip branch

ufc-scoreboard defines display_scroll_frame, which matches the renderer filter, so check() does not return skip — it reaches the fail branch and is reported. Actual output:

[known] ufc-scoreboard: defined but unreachable from display(): display_scroll_frame
[pass] 9 scoreboard(s): scroll renderer reachable from display()

The suggested change (return "fail" for known members in the no-renderer branch) is a reasonable belt-and-braces guard for a plugin that has no scroll method at all, but it does not apply to ufc as written. The gate already fails if ufc is removed from the list — mutation-tested — so the entry cannot rot into a silent skip.

Re-verified: football 40 passed / 0 failed (41 with the new test), reachability gate passes.
