Follow-up to #332, which shipped favourites-first selection. Six commits were written after that PR merged and never got a PR of their own; this is them, plus one fix found while re-reading the result.

What was wrong

None of the five new settings reached the code. Managers do not read the plugin config — _adapt_config_for_manager translates it, and that translation is an explicit whitelist. Every new key was declared in the schema, rendered in the web UI, read by sports.py, and dropped in between. A user could set them, save, and nothing would change. All nine plugins, and the lineages disagree about where the values live (game_limits, filtering, or the league root), so each now reads from the place its own schema declares them. test_settings_reach_the_manager.py guards it with values that are not the defaults — a fixture built from defaults passes against a translation that drops the key entirely.

Selection was purely chronological, so rotating harder just served more filler. On a real board's college schedule, 923 non-favourite upcoming games: 235 involve a nationally ranked team, the rest are matchups the viewer has no reason to care about. Other games are now filtered by quality before they fill the remaining slots — ranked teams by default, FBS only for college. Favourites are never filtered, so a team from any division still appears.

College rankings came from the wrong endpoint. fetch_standings tried /standings first and fell back to /rankings only on a 404. College football answers /standings with HTTP 200 and no rankings key, so the fallback never fired — verified against the live API:

football/college-football/standings   200, no "rankings" key
football/college-football/rankings    200, 3 ranking blocks
football/nfl/standings                200
football/nfl/rankings                 404

Nothing ever failed, so nothing was ever logged. The rank badge never appeared however show_ranking was set (predates #332), and the new ranked filter passed every game because an empty table fails open. The endpoint is now chosen by league rather than discovered by error code, and a 200 without the key counts as a miss.

Each ranking poll was fetched once per configured group. AP_TOP_5, AP_TOP_10 and AP_TOP_25 resolve from the same poll and differ only in how far down they slice, but the cache key named the pattern — so two groups fetched the identical payload twice. Seen on a real board: dynamic_teams_ncaa_fb_AP_TOP_10.json and ..._AP_TOP_25.json side by side, both holding the same 25 teams. Keyed by sport now.

Non-college leagues fetched rankings they do not have. _fetch_team_rankings only short-circuits on a non-empty cache, so a 404 left it empty and the next update tried again — roughly 2,900 dead requests a day per league at a 30s interval. Gated on the league actually having a poll.

The division lookup was held for the life of the process. _load_division_team_ids returned early on any non-None value, so a board that happened to be offline for the first lookup ran with division filtering disabled until someone restarted the service — on a display up for weeks, indefinitely. It now expires like the stored copy: a day for a resolved lookup, ten minutes for one that came back empty.

Verification

Driven end to end against live ESPN data, not fixtures:

  • NCAA upcoming: 3 favourites (UGA, AUB) plus 3 ranked others — SJSU@USC (feat(hockey): add Olympic hockey support #14), UTEP@OU (refactor: simplify hockey-scoreboard configuration to match original … #10), MIA@STAN (feat: add hockey-scoreboard plugin (Phase 2 start) #7). Before the endpoint fix the same run loaded 0 rankings and filled those slots with the next three unranked games.
  • NFL recent: 2 TB games plus 2 others, newest first, 0 rankings requested.
  • Division lookup fetches 148 FBS and 130 FCS team ids, serves a second instance without touching the network, and is skipped entirely for NFL.
  • test_managers_have_the_selection_helpers.py drives what the plugin actually instantiates — live, recent and upcoming, both leagues. The SportsRecent defect survived every earlier test because they all drove SportsUpcoming directly; reverting the helpers reproduces 'NFLRecentManager' object has no attribute '_is_favorite_game'.

All nine suites: 149 passed, 3 skipped, 0 failed. Repo guards pass — manifest version fields, property-order coverage, sports display contract, module collisions. (check_team_pickers.py reports pre-existing odds-ticker drift, untouched here.)

Also

READMEs now document how the selection settings behave, leading with the part that trips people up: upcoming_games_to_show is not "how many cards you see", it is the size of a pool the panel cycles, keeping its place between visits — so making it bigger lengthens the lap and makes any one game appear less often.

Nine minor version bumps. The 1.32.0-generation changelog entry is restored to the text it was released with; it had been edited in place while this work sat on the merged branch, and described settings that version does not have.

Selection was purely chronological, so rotating harder just served more
filler. On a real board's college schedule, 923 non-favourite upcoming games:
235 involve a nationally ranked team and the rest are matchups the viewer has
never heard of. Two settings now decide what fills the slots left over after
favourites, and neither ever touches favourites themselves -- follow a
smaller-division school and its games always show.

other_games_min_quality (default "ranked") uses the rankings table the plugin
already fetches for the rank badge, so it costs no extra requests. That gating
had to move: rankings were only fetched when show_ranking was on, which left
the filter with an empty table and would have emptied the board.

other_games_divisions (default ["fbs"]) needs ESPN's own group rosters -- two
requests a day, cached. conferenceId cannot do this job: cross-division games
put an FBS conference on an FCS slate, so the id sets overlap and Merrimack at
Delaware classifies as FBS. The group rosters are disjoint (148 FBS ids, 130
FCS). Every participant must be in a checked division, so leaving FCS
unchecked also removes a ranked side hosting an FCS school -- which is the
actual complaint.

Every check fails OPEN. A rankings table that did not load, or divisions that
did not resolve, allows the game: a board showing filler is poor, a board
showing nothing is broken.

Three real defects found while testing this, all in the already-pushed commits
of this PR:

- SportsRecent is a SIBLING of SportsUpcoming, not a subclass, so its call to
  _favorites_first hit a method it did not have. AttributeError, swallowed by
  update()'s own try/except, recent games silently blank. The shared helpers
  now live on SportsCore and a test drives the real SportsRecent class rather
  than only Upcoming, which is what hid it.
- nrl matches favourites by ESPN team id on purpose -- its abbreviations are
  not unique, "NEW" is both Newcastle Knights and New Zealand Warriors -- and
  the ported abbreviation-based matcher shadowed that on the upcoming path,
  where it would favourite the wrong club. Removed; nrl keeps its own.
- The custom-league editor is an array-table, and array-table.js stringifies a
  list into "a,b" before submitting, so an array-typed property inside a row
  can never validate. The checkbox group is out of custom_leagues; the enum
  string stays.

Class-level defaults for everything the selection path reads, because that
read happens inside update()'s try/except: a missing attribute does not raise
anywhere visible, it just blanks the board.

Two defects found while re-checking the logic with the season a week out.
Both are the same shape: nothing raises, nothing logs, the feature is just
quietly not there.

1. None of the five new settings reached the code. Managers do not read the
   plugin config -- _adapt_config_for_manager translates it, and that
   translation is an explicit whitelist. Every one of the new keys was
   declared in the schema, rendered in the web UI, read by sports.py, and
   dropped in between. A user could set them, save, and nothing would change;
   the code kept its own defaults. All nine plugins, and the lineages disagree
   about where the values live: game_limits, filtering, or the league root,
   with hockey and lacrosse going through resolve_value instead. Each now
   reads from the same place its own schema declares them.

   test_settings_reach_the_manager.py guards it, using values that are NOT the
   defaults -- a fixture built from defaults passes against a translation that
   drops the key entirely.

2. Making "ranked" the default quality made every league fetch rankings, and
   only college leagues have them: NFL's endpoint 404s. _fetch_team_rankings
   only short-circuits on a NON-empty cache, so a failed fetch leaves it empty
   and the next update tries again -- roughly 2,900 dead requests a day per
   non-college league at a 30s interval. Gated on the league actually having a
   poll.

Verified against the live API rather than assumed: the division lookup fetches
148 FBS and 130 FCS team ids, caches them, serves a second instance without
touching the network, and is skipped entirely for NFL. college-football's
rankings endpoint returns 25; nfl's returns 404.

AP_TOP_5, AP_TOP_10 and AP_TOP_25 all resolve from the same poll and differ
only in how far down it they slice -- and the value cached was the whole list.
The key, though, named the pattern, so configuring two groups fetched the
identical payload twice, stored it twice and expired it twice for no
difference in the result. Seen on a real board:
dynamic_teams_ncaa_fb_AP_TOP_10.json and dynamic_teams_ncaa_fb_AP_TOP_25.json
side by side, both holding the same 25 teams.

Keyed by sport instead. Five plugins carry a resolver with patterns; two key
spellings between them. afl, nrl and soccer ship a stub with no patterns at
all, so there is nothing to key.

The test asserts one fetch PER SPORT rather than one overall: hockey and
lacrosse declare groups across several sports, and those really are separate
polls. It also skips the shared-cache assertion for lineages that pair a
class-level dict with a per-instance freshness stamp, where a new instance
refetches by construction -- pre-existing, and not what this change governs.

Reverting the key in any of the five fails three checks.

Driving the real NCAAFBUpcomingManager end to end -- which nothing had done --
showed the selection working and "rankings loaded: 0". The quality filter was
failing open on every board.

fetch_standings tried /standings first and fell back to /rankings only on a
404. College football answers /standings with HTTP 200 and no "rankings" key,
so the fallback never fired. Verified against the live API today:

    football/college-football/standings  200, no "rankings" key
    football/college-football/rankings   200, 3 ranking blocks
    football/nfl/standings               200
    football/nfl/rankings                404

Nothing ever failed. _fetch_team_rankings parsed a body with no rankings in
it and cached an empty table, so the AP rank badge never appeared however
show_ranking was set -- that part predates this PR -- and the new "ranked"
filter passed every game, because an empty table fails open.

The endpoint is now chosen by league rather than discovered by error code,
and a 200 without the key counts as a miss. After the fix the same end-to-end
run loads 25 rankings and fills the other slots with SJSU@USC (#14),
UTEP@OU (#10) and MIA@STAN (#7) instead of the next three unranked games.

Also verified end to end, both directions: NFL recent returns 2 TB games plus
2 others, newest first, and fetches 0 rankings -- no poll exists, and none is
requested.

Note on the baseball copy: the first attempt replaced from fetch_standings to
the next top-level class, which in that file swallowed fetch_game_summary,
fetch_player_details and _parse_player_details. Its own test_player_card
caught it. Redone bounded to the method, and targeted at ESPNDataSource
specifically -- the abstract declaration above it has the same signature.

The SportsRecent defect survived every test because they all drove
SportsUpcoming directly. This drives what the plugin actually instantiates --
live, recent and upcoming, for both leagues -- and asserts each carries every
selection helper and setting.

Favourite detection is checked in BOTH directions. Asserting only that a
favourite returns True passes against a matcher that returns True for
everything, which would sweep the whole league into the favourites bucket and
quietly empty the other-games slots.

Reverting the helpers to SportsUpcoming reproduces the original failure
verbatim: 'NFLRecentManager' object has no attribute '_is_favorite_game'.

Verified alongside, by driving the real managers end to end against live ESPN
data rather than fixtures:

- NCAA upcoming: 3 favourites (UGA, AUB) plus 3 ranked others -- SJSU@USC
  (#14), UTEP@OU (#10), MIA@STAN (#7)
- NFL recent: 2 TB games plus 2 others, newest first, 0 rankings requested
- both live managers update cleanly and resolve favourites
- the config the web UI writes from schema defaults validates, a user-edited
  one validates, and a string where an array belongs is rejected

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01STMbQE4YctTacQXfbYqKuW
None of this was written down anywhere a user would look. The settings existed
only as schema descriptions in the web UI, plus code comments and commit
messages -- and the behaviour is not guessable, which is exactly why it kept
being misread.

The section leads with the thing that trips people up: upcoming_games_to_show
is not "how many cards you see", it is the size of a POOL that the panel
cycles, keeping its place between visits. Making it bigger lengthens the lap,
so any one game appears LESS often -- the opposite of what people reach for it
to do.

Then the three modes as a table, because which one you are in depends on two
settings at once, and the useful one (favourites first, then others) is the
combination that until now did nothing.

Facts in it are measured rather than described: ~950 upcoming college games of
which ~250 involve a ranked team; 18 distinct matchups over three hours of
rotation while the pool stays at 6 cards. Every default quoted was checked
against the schema.

The AP_TOP_n warning is in both this section and the Dynamic Team Resolution
section that introduces those patterns, because that is where someone meets
them: expanding a group into the favourites list makes your own teams compete
with it, and on a real schedule UGA's next game was favourite-game #5 and
Auburn's #8, so neither appeared with a limit of 3.

Shorter version in the other eight READMEs, without the college-specific
detail, and noting that the quality and division filters are inert for leagues
with no poll and no divisions.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01STMbQE4YctTacQXfbYqKuW
The in-memory copy had no clock. _load_division_team_ids returned early on
any non-None value, so the first result a process produced was the only one
it ever used, and a board that happened to be offline for that first lookup
ran with division filtering disabled until someone restarted the service --
on a display that stays up for weeks, indefinitely. A roster that changed
between seasons was never picked up either.

The copy now expires like the stored one: a day for a resolved lookup, ten
minutes for one that came back empty, so a blip costs minutes rather than a
day without retrying per frame.

Also lower-cases the league before the "college" test -- the guard that
decides whether to make the two requests at all was case-sensitive on a value
the config supplies.

The probe sets the freshness stamp alongside the pre-loaded ids: a populated
cache with a zero stamp now reads as stale and goes back to the network,
which is not what a test pre-loading divisions means.

Nine minor bumps, one per sports plugin. The 1.32.0-generation entry that
1.32.0 already shipped under is restored to the text it was released with --
it had been edited in place while this work was still on the same branch, and
it now described settings that version does not have.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d9a8

The PR changes how non-favorite games are selected and filtered across multiple sports, but current code can still ignore configured filters, misclassify college divisions, or hide all non-favorite games when broadcast filtering is enabled; cache isolation and check failures also remain. It is not merge-ready until the major selection and filtering issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

464-481: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

College-football division enum copied into leagues that have no divisions. AFL and NRL are each a single league with no divisions and no national poll. The other_games_divisions enum values fbs, fcs, and other come from college football. Both descriptions state the setting is ignored outside college leagues, so behavior is safe, but the web UI renders three checkboxes that do nothing in these two plugins.

  • plugins/afl-scoreboard/config_schema.json#L464-L481: omit other_games_divisions from the AFL schema, or move the inert-behavior note into the title so the UI label carries it.
  • plugins/nrl-scoreboard/config_schema.json#L381-L398: apply the same change for NRL.

Read the five settings from game_limits as well as the root.

_adapt_config_for_manager() reads only root-level keys, so a config containing only game_limits can make the AFL managers use defaults. Read game_limits when the root key is absent.

The division-filter assertion passes vacuously in all three test copies. The fixture assigns away_id = 2000 + i, but the fbs and fcs sets are built only from home_id. _game_divisions classifies every away side as "other", so no game satisfies present.issubset({"fbs"}), others is empty, and all(...) over an empty list returns True. The check would still pass if the filter rejected every game.

  • plugins/afl-scoreboard/test_favorites_are_prioritised.py#L258-L271: add the away_id values to both division sets, and add a check that others is not empty.
  • plugins/soccer-scoreboard/test_favorites_are_prioritised.py#L258-L271: apply the same two changes.

🌐 Web query:

ESPN API group 80 81 college football baseball basketball sports.core.api.espn.com

💡 Result:

The endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com is part of ESPN's core API architecture, primarily used for accessing structured, resource-oriented data such as athletes, statistics, odds, and detailed league metadata [1][2]. It operates alongside the site.api.espn.com surface, which is commonly used for user-facing data like scoreboards, standings, and news [1][2][3]. Regarding the group identifiers (e.g., 80 and 81) and their usage in college sports APIs: College Football (CFB) Groups: In ESPN's API, the groups parameter is frequently used to filter scoreboards and schedules, particularly for NCAA sports [4][5]. For college football, the most common identifiers are: Group 80: FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) teams [6][4][7]. Group 81: FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) teams [6][4][7]. These parameters are typically appended to requests made to the site API endpoint, for example: https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/scoreboard?groups=80 [4][8]. General API Architecture: The ESPN API structure is largely consistent across sports, utilizing slugs to differentiate leagues and sports [9]. Core API (v2/v3): Accessed via sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/{sport}/leagues/{league}/... and is the authoritative source for deep, relational data [9][2][10]. Site API (v2/v3): Accessed via site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/{sport}/{league}/... and is optimized for front-end consumption (scores, schedules) [9][3][8]. For advanced queries, particularly those requiring hierarchical data like conference membership or rosters, the core API's season-scoped tree is recommended over the site API's groups endpoint, as the latter can be truncated or contain stale data [10]. For example, .../seasons/{year}/types/2/groups/{group_id}/children can be used to retrieve conference and team structures [10].

Use a sport-specific division taxonomy for baseball and basketball. _DIVISION_GROUPS applies football group IDs 80 and 81 to every league containing "college". For college-baseball, ESPN returns no usable roster; for men's and women's college basketball, both groups return empty rosters. The empty results make _game_divisions() return None, so _passes_other_filters() allows every game. The fbs/fcs settings therefore do not filter non-favorite baseball or basketball games. Gate this lookup to college football, or provide valid sport-specific groups and update both basketball schema blocks at plugins/basketball-scoreboard/config_schema.json#L1407-L1437 and #L1890-L1920.

Resolve division group IDs by league instead of by the college name pattern. The current shared lookup uses football group IDs for non-football college leagues, causing incorrect division classification or unnecessary requests. Use a per-league map and skip the lookup for leagues without published division groups.

Apply the non-favourite filters when no favourites are configured.

SportsUpcoming.update() and SportsRecent.update() select chronological games directly when favorite_teams is empty. They do not call _passes_other_filters().

In this state, every selected game is a non-favourite game. The default "ranked" setting and the division setting have no effect.

Filter the no-favourites branch before applying the display limit.

Make the division-filter test include eligible away-team IDs.

The FBS and FCS sets contain only home_id values. Every fixture away_id is therefore "other", so filtering removes every non-favourite game. all(...) then passes on an empty list.

…ests

Six of CodeRabbit's thirteen comments were real. Three are behaviour, three
are the tests and docs that let the behaviour hide.

1. FBS/FCS is a college FOOTBALL taxonomy, and the lookup ran for any league
   whose name contains "college". Checked against the live API, groups 80 and
   81 exist for that one league:

       football/college-football     200, 148 FBS + 130 FCS team ids
       baseball/college-baseball     500
       lacrosse/mens-college-lacrosse 500
       basketball/mens-college-basketball  200, 0 items
       basketball/womens-college-basketball 200, 0 items
       hockey/mens-college-hockey    200, 0 items

   An empty roster fails open, so the setting filtered nothing on those
   leagues; it only cost two requests a day and two warnings in the log. The
   group ids are now keyed by league, and the schema and READMEs say plainly
   that the division filter is college football alone rather than implying
   every college league has divisions to pick from.

2. With no favourite teams configured, selection took the next N games
   chronologically and never called _passes_other_filters. Every game in that
   branch is a non-favourite game, so both settings were inert for exactly the
   boards that have nothing else narrowing the list -- ask for ranked games
   only, get the next three kickoffs. Both branches now go through
   _filtered_or_all, which fails open as a whole: a filter matching nothing
   would blank the mode, and there is no favourite left to carry it.

3. afl and nrl declare these keys twice, at the config root and inside
   game_limits, and the web UI renders both. afl's translation read the root,
   nrl's read game_limits, so each plugin had a set of controls that accepted
   input and dropped it. Both now read either, game_limits first, matching how
   nrl already resolved the two older limits.

4. The division-filter assertion was vacuous in all nine test copies. The
   fixture put home ids in the division sets and away ids nowhere, so every
   away side classified as "other", the filter dropped the whole slate, and
   all() over the empty result passed -- it would have passed just as well
   against a filter that rejected everything. The sets now cover both sides,
   one game straddles deliberately (and is the FIRST game, or selection never
   reaches it), and the count is asserted. Ablating _game_divisions to the home
   side only now fails two checks; before, it failed none.

5. test_settings_reach_the_manager now asserts that every location a plugin's
   own schema offers actually reaches the manager -- root, game_limits or
   filtering, whichever that schema declares -- rather than one fixture that
   fills in all three and passes whichever the adapter happens to read.
   Reverting the afl fallback fails five of its checks.

6. E731: the two assigned lambdas in the ranking-fetch tests are functions.

Skipped, with reasons:

- "Read broadcast data from `broadcasts`, not `broadcast`." The scoreboard
  payload carries both, and `broadcast` is the string this code wants:
  college-football "NBC", nfl "NFL Net", college-baseball "ESPN",
  mens-college-lacrosse "ESPN", ufc "Paramount+". Where it is empty
  (soccer/eng.1, nhl) `broadcasts` is an empty list too, so reading the other
  key changes nothing.
- "Namespace the persistent cache keys by plugin." They are already keyed by
  sport and by league, and the copies of the resolver store the same shape, so
  a shared entry is the same data fetched once instead of twice.
- "Load deferred plugin modules under unique module names." Each test script
  runs in its own process and puts only its own plugin directory on sys.path,
  so there is no other plugin's module to collide with.

Worked through the review. Six findings were real and are fixed in 484443c; three are skipped with reasons, replied to inline.

Fixed

FBS/FCS only exists for college football. The lookup ran for any league whose name contained college. Checked against the live API:

football/college-football             200, 148 FBS + 130 FCS team ids
baseball/college-baseball             500
lacrosse/mens-college-lacrosse        500
basketball/mens-college-basketball    200, 0 items
basketball/womens-college-basketball  200, 0 items
hockey/mens-college-hockey            200, 0 items

An empty roster fails open, so the setting never filtered anything on those leagues — it only cost two requests a day and two warnings in the log. Group ids are now keyed by league, and the schema descriptions and READMEs say the division filter is college football alone rather than implying every college league has divisions.

The no-favourites branch skipped both filters. Every game selected there is a non-favourite game, so other_games_min_quality and other_games_divisions were inert for exactly the boards with nothing else narrowing the list — ask for ranked games only, get the next three kickoffs. Both branches now route through _filtered_or_all, which fails open as a whole rather than per check: a filter matching nothing on a given day would blank the mode, and there is no favourite left to carry it.

afl and nrl each read one of two declared locations. Both plugins declare these keys at the config root and inside game_limits, and the web UI renders both. afl's translation read the root, nrl's read game_limits — so each had a set of controls that accepted input and dropped it. Both now read either, game_limits first, matching how nrl already resolved its two older limits.

The division-filter assertion was vacuous in all nine copies. Exactly as described: home ids went into the division sets, away ids nowhere, every away side classified other, the filter dropped the whole slate, and all() over the empty result passed. The sets now cover both sides, one game straddles deliberately — and it is the first game, since selection is chronological and a straddler further down never competes for a slot — and the count is asserted. Ablating _game_divisions to the home side only now fails two checks; before, it failed none.

test_settings_reach_the_manager now checks every location the schema offers, not one fixture that fills in all three and passes whichever the adapter happens to read. It derives the locations from each plugin's own schema — root, game_limits, or filtering — and asserts a config that sets the values in only that place still arrives. Reverting the afl fallback fails five of its checks.

E731: the two assigned lambdas are functions now.

Skipped

  • broadcastbroadcasts. Verified against the live payload: both keys exist and the singular one is populated ("NBC", "NFL Net", "ESPN", "Paramount+"). Where it is empty, broadcasts is empty too, so the plural key recovers nothing. Details in the inline reply.
  • Namespacing the cache keys by plugin. Already scoped by sport and by league, and the copies store the same shape — a shared entry is the same data fetched once instead of twice. The division key now has exactly one writer anyway.
  • Unique importlib module names. Each test script runs in its own process with only its own plugin directory on sys.path, so there is no other plugin's module to collide with.

Verification

All nine suites: 155 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed. Repo guards pass — property-order coverage, sports display contract, module collisions, manifest version fields. Each behavioural fix has an ablation that fails the new tests.

The changelog entries for the unreleased versions now call out the behaviour change for boards with no favourite teams, since the quality default starts filtering there.

claude added 9 commits August 28, 2026 11:20
Three gaps found reading the selection logic back, all the same shape: a
filter doing exactly what it was asked leaves the board with less than the
user expected, and nothing says why.

1. `_passes_other_filters` fails open per check -- a ranking table that could
   not be fetched allows every game -- but the SET of filters had no such
   guard on the favourites path. Favourites idle inside the schedule window
   plus a quality bar nothing clears meant an empty list, which is a blank
   mode rather than a short one. `_filtered_or_all` already made that
   whole-list fallback for a board with no favourites; the favourites path now
   makes the same one. `other_..._games_to_show` of 0 is an explicit
   "favourites only" and is still honoured, blank or not.

2. "broadcast" was the one check that could not fail open, because the
   scoreboard payload always carries the key -- it is simply empty in leagues
   ESPN publishes no listings for. Measured today:

       college-football "NBC"    nfl "NFL Net"     college-baseball "ESPN"
       mens-college-lacrosse "ESPN"    mma/ufc "Paramount+"
       soccer/eng.1 ""           hockey/nhl ""

   So picking it on a hockey or soccer board removed every non-favourite game.
   Coverage is now read off the slate rather than a hardcoded league list: no
   game carrying a broadcaster means the data is absent, not that nothing is
   on television, and the check allows everything.

3. The ranking table is keyed by the abbreviation the RANKINGS endpoint
   returns and matched against the SCOREBOARD's. Nothing guarantees the two
   agree, and if they stop agreeing the filter silently removes every
   non-favourite game -- the same silence that let "rankings loaded: 0" run on
   real boards until someone went looking. A loaded poll matching no game on
   the schedule now warns, throttled to once an hour, and names the
   abbreviations it holds so the mismatch is visible rather than inferred.

Ablating any one of the three fails its own check and no others.

… schema

The division filter required EVERY participant to be in a checked division, so
the default ["fbs"] read as "FBS versus FBS only". Measured against the real
Week 2 slate, that silently removed five of the twenty ranked matchups --
Missouri, Utah, Tennessee, Texas Tech and BYU, each hosting an FCS school.
Those are games about a team the viewer checked the box for.

One side is now enough. FBS vs FCS is in; FCS vs FCS is still out unless `fcs`
is checked, which is what the setting is actually for. On the same slate, with
the same rotation, coverage of ranked matchups goes 15/20 -> 20/20, and the
longest gap between two showings of one game moves 40 -> 69 minutes because the
pool is five games larger. Favourites remain exempt from every filter, so a
favourite's own FCS tune-up game was showing before this change and still is.

The quality filter keeps this from becoming a flood: with the default "ranked",
an unranked FBS side hosting an FCS school is rejected on quality anyway, so
what the looser rule admits is specifically the ranked matchup.

Also, from an audit of all 31 selection blocks across the nine schemas:

- The five settings are declared in every block, each with a default, matching
  types, and identical ranges (0-20 counts, 0-86400 seconds, the two enums).
  The `other_*` counts default to their own block's limit, so an upgrade keeps
  the games the board was already showing.
- scripts/check_selection_settings.py now enforces that, structurally: it finds
  every properties-dict that declares a game limit, so a league added later is
  covered without editing the checker. Its self-test asserts the repo passes
  AND that five separate kinds of gap are caught, because a guard that cannot
  fail is indistinguishable from one that passes.
- soccer's custom_leagues block is the one place a setting is legitimately
  absent. array-table.js coerceValue() has no array branch: it submits "fbs"
  where the schema wants ["fbs"], and jsonschema then rejects the entire save,
  not just that field. Adding it there broke three cases in
  test_custom_league_config.py, which is how the constraint was found. The
  checker knows about row editors and does not demand arrays inside one.
- The reads are hardened. These land in update()'s own try/except, so a string
  where an integer belongs surfaced as a mode that rendered nothing rather than
  as an error. Counts and the interval clamp to their declared range,
  other_games_min_quality is case-normalised, and a bare "fbs" becomes one
  division rather than list("fbs") == ['f','b','s'] -- three names matching
  nothing, which rejected every non-favourite game.

Ablating the division rule back fails two checks; ablating any of the schema
guarantees fails the guard's self-test.

…hable

Two findings from auditing the configuration surface, and they compound: the
rotation interval was a setting that could not take effect, gated behind an
interval that could not be changed.

1. `_other_games_window` only ever ran from update(), which returns early until
   `upcoming_update_interval` has passed -- an hour. So
   `other_rotation_interval_seconds: 240` did not produce fifteen slices an
   hour; it produced one jump of fifteen windows, once an hour. On a real board
   that reads as the same two matchups for six hours, which is exactly what
   ledpi's journal showed: 89 visits to ncaa_fb_upcoming, UNC@TCU and SJSU@USC
   every single time.

   Which games exist, and which are worth a slot, is a fetch concern. WHICH of
   them is on screen is a display concern. The composition is now split out of
   _favorites_first, and the two display paths re-cut the slice when the
   interval passes -- one list slice and a sort of a few games, no network.
   Same lesson `_advance_live_game_if_due` already carries a comment about, for
   the same reason: gating a display decision on the fetch quantises it to the
   refresh rate.

   The card on screen keeps its place if it survived the cut, so rotating
   changes what comes next rather than interrupting what someone is reading.

2. Five settings sports.py reads were unreachable: no schema declaration, no
   translation, permanently at their built-in defaults. Three are worth
   exposing and now are -- recent_update_interval, upcoming_update_interval and
   stale_game_timeout. The odds intervals are left internal: odds are already
   fetched per selected game, so the knob would be a second lever on the same
   behaviour.

   The shape of the gap differed per plugin, which is why one audit found all
   of it: afl, nrl and soccer DECLARED the two intervals and dropped them in
   translation -- controls the form rendered and the board ignored, the same
   bug this PR opened with. baseball, basketball, football and ufc had neither.
   hockey and lacrosse were already complete, under `update_intervals.recent`
   and `.upcoming`; only the staleness guard was missing there.

   `update_interval_seconds` stays undeclared deliberately: all three managers
   overwrite it with their own per-mode interval, so a control for it would do
   nothing in the place a user would expect it to.

The propagation test now covers all eight settings rather than the five
selection ones, and asserts each still arrives from every location its own
schema offers. Removing any single adapter entry fails two of its checks.

Also updates the empty-mode stand-in in three plugins, which builds a bare
object carrying only what display() touches -- it binds the two real rotation
methods rather than stubbing them, so a regression that made them raise is
caught rather than hidden.

`favorite_teams` was already empty by default; the counts were 1. With no
favorites configured every card is a non-favorite card, so a fresh college
install showed exactly one game and repeated it until the schedule moved on --
which is the state ledpi was in this morning, two games shown 89 times each
over six hours.

Five in each of the four counts. The `other_*` pair mirrors its own limit, as
in every other block, so adding a favorite team later adds to what is there
rather than replacing it.

The quality filter declares the poll to be the thing worth showing, and then
selection ignored the number entirely. #1 against #2 and #25 against an
unranked side were interchangeable: both passed the gate, and whichever kicked
off sooner took the slot. Rank was fetched, cached, and used for nothing but
the badge painted on the card -- the only sort touching it in the whole file
was `sorted(rankings)[:8]`, for a log line.

The non-favourite pool is now ordered by the better of the two sides' poll
positions before the window slices it, with kickoff as the tie-break. The
rotation still walks the entire pool, so coverage and the measured gaps are
unchanged; it walks DOWN the ladder instead of along the clock. What changes is
which games lead: the first window after a restart or an update holds the best
game available rather than the earliest, and a board is far more often freshly
started than three hours into a lap.

Favourites keep kickoff order. Ordering your own teams by rank would put a
week-8 fixture ahead of Saturday's, and for your own team the next game is the
point -- a test pins that.

A league with no poll keeps the chronological order it had, because there is
nothing to sort on: `_by_importance` returns the list untouched when the
rankings table is empty, which is also what happens on a failed fetch.

Reverting the ordering fails the check that the first window holds the best
game; the fixture puts the top-ranked matchup last chronologically so the two
orderings cannot agree by accident.

Shipping the rank ordering to a real board showed what the chronological order
had been hiding: the upcoming pool is not a week of fixtures. For college
football it is the whole season -- ledpi logged "Found 947 total upcoming games
in data" -- so ordering by rank alone stacked all twelve of the #1 team's games
above the #2 team's first one. The board went straight to KENT@OSU, ILL@OSU,
then OSU@IOWA, MD@OSU: Ohio State's season, in order, before any other matchup.

The pool now keeps one game per team, the soonest, and orders those by rank. It
reads as "what each team has next, best matchup first", which is what an
upcoming board means, and it is inherently near-term without a horizon setting
to tune: a team's next game is by definition its closest one.

Deduping happens on a soonest-first pass rather than on the rank-ordered one.
Taking the first entry per team out of rank order would keep whichever game
sorted first by rank, and for a game between two ranked sides that is not
necessarily the one being played next.

The ablation reproduces the board's symptom exactly -- top0, top1, top2, top3
-- so the test fails for the reason it was written.

The other-games pool refuses to spend its slots on one team; favourites were
still doing exactly that. `favorites[:limit]` takes the soonest N, and the
upcoming list is a season, so a team that plays either side of another's bye
takes both slots. Walked across a real 901-game season with UGA and AUB at a
limit of 2: nine days showed Auburn twice and Georgia not at all.

Round-robin instead -- each favourite team's next game before any team's
second. Depth survives where there is room: one favourite with three slots
still gets its next three games, because a team's second game only comes up
once every team has had a first. A game between two favourites is picked once
and counts for both.

Which side of a game belongs to which favourite turned out to be a per-lineage
question. NRL matches on ESPN team ids because its abbreviations are not unique
-- "NEW" is both Newcastle and New Zealand -- while the other eight match on
abbreviation. The first version assumed abbreviations and silently grouped
nothing there: every queue empty, every favourite slot empty, and the nine
plugins would have disagreed about what the setting does. It now asks for the
lineage's own matcher.

The fixture gives each team both spellings, as the existing one does, so a
single test covers both styles -- and the ablation fails on the id-matching
lineage too, which is what proves that path is really exercised.

Nine plugins failed in CI with the same reason -- "ignoring unusable
other_upcoming_games_to_show='not a number', using 3" -- which is a log line
from a test that PASSES, emitted on stderr near the end of the script. The
runner reported the last line of stdout+stderr, and for any script that warns
on stderr that is the warning, whether the run passed or failed. The reason
was therefore identical for every failure and named nothing.

It now reports the checks that actually failed, up to three, and falls back to
the exit code plus the last few lines when a script died without naming one --
a traceback, or an exit from somewhere unexpected. That case has to stay
visible: it is the one where there is no check name to report and the tail is
all the evidence there is.

CI failed all nine plugins on "the mismatch is reported" and no machine here
could reproduce it. The reason is uptime: monotonic() counts from an arbitrary
origin, a few hundred seconds on a runner that just booted, and the throttle
compared it against a stamp of 0. So "never logged" read as "logged at the
epoch", and the first warning was suppressed for the first hour of uptime --
precisely when a misconfigured board is being watched. This machine has days of
uptime, so monotonic() dwarfs the hour and it always passed.

Zero now means never logged, as it already does for the rotation clock a few
methods up. The test drives it at 120 seconds of uptime rather than trusting
the host's, so the case is pinned on any machine.

On hold — split by plugin to limit the blast radius.

Football is now #335, on its own. This PR stays open as the source for the other eight, which will follow one at a time so each can be judged on a real board rather than nine changing at once.

Two things came out of the split that are worth recording here:

The guard had to change. check_selection_settings.py hardcoded five settings, but only three of them are on mainother_games_min_quality and other_games_divisions arrived in this branch's unmerged commits. So a football-only branch failed the guard on the eight untouched plugins, for the crime of not having been ported yet. It now derives what to require from what each plugin's own sports.py actually reads. That keeps the real invariant — a setting the code reads must be reachable — while letting the rollout be staged. Both directions are pinned: a plugin that reads a setting its schema omits is still reported, and one that reads nothing is correctly silent.

A bug this PR's CI found that no machine here could reproduce. All nine plugins failed on "the mismatch is reported". The ranking-coverage warning is throttled against time.monotonic(), which counts from an arbitrary origin — a few hundred seconds on a freshly booted runner — and the stamp initialised to 0, so "never logged" read as "logged at the epoch" and the first warning was swallowed for the first hour of uptime. Exactly when a misconfigured board is being watched. This machine has days of uptime, so it always passed here. Fixed in both branches; the test now drives it at 120 seconds of uptime instead of trusting the host's.

Both fixes are in #335.

… this

Main moved a long way under this branch. Resolving hunk by hunk showed the
work splits cleanly in two, and the halves want opposite resolutions.

**football-scoreboard is fully superseded.** What this branch does for football
shipped as #335 and was then improved by #341, #343 and #344. Main is strictly
ahead everywhere they overlap: it season-corrects the division roster lookup,
str()-guards ESPN's broadcast field, catches OverflowError on a bare Infinity,
routes the no-favourites branch through _favorites_first so it builds selection
pools, and adds _attach_odds_to_rotated_games, which this branch does not have
at all. Several of main's comments describe this branch's own approach as the
old way. Every football hunk therefore takes main, and football's sports.py,
manager.py, data_sources.py, tests and README now match origin/main byte for
byte -- this branch no longer changes football in any way.

**The other eight lineages still need all of it.** They have _favorites_first
and nothing else: no _compose_selection, no rotation, no _passes_other_filters.
Their settings were in the schema with nothing reading them. Those hunks take
this branch.

Three resolutions worth naming:

- baseball, basketball, hockey and lacrosse: main re-adds _is_favorite_game
  beside the rotation methods this branch adds. Taking both would have defined
  it twice in one class, and Python takes the last -- main's copy would have
  silently shadowed this branch's. Kept one, plus main's _DRAWS_SCORE ClassVar.
- nrl: main defines _is_favorite_game TWICE in SportsCore, at 320 and 2177, and
  they do not agree -- the first matches on ESPN team id, the second on
  abbreviation. #189 moved nrl to ids deliberately; #332 added the abbr copy,
  which shadowed and silently reverted that fix. This branch removes the
  duplicate, so the fix is restored. That is a live bug on main today.
- Manifests and plugins.json take main, then the eight changed plugins are
  re-bumped on top of the versions main has since published. Football is not
  bumped, because nothing about it changed.

READMEs: football takes main; afl, baseball and basketball keep both sections,
since this branch documents selection and main documents the matchup separator.

Verified: run_plugin_tests.py --all gives 222 passed, 2 skipped, 1 failed, and
that one failure -- football's test_favorite_live_boost.py, "excluded team
hidden from recent/final scores in default (no-favorites) path" -- reproduces
identically on a clean origin/main worktree. It is main's, not this merge's:
_favorites_first(games, 0, N) does not apply the exclude filter the old
filter/sort/truncate path did. The eight apply excludes elsewhere and pass.
check_selection_settings, check_manifest_version_fields, check_scroll_adoption
and check_module_collisions all pass.

B6, piloted on one plugin. B5 moved this scoreboard onto the core's
src.common.sports_scroll behind a guarded import, keeping the frozen
pre-adoption implementation as scroll_display_legacy.py so it still ran on a
core that predated the module. That copy is now deleted and the import is
plain.

The guard goes with the copy, deliberately. Keeping try/except with nothing
behind it would name the missing scroll_display_legacy rather than the core
module that is actually absent -- and that name is the whole user-visible
contract here, because PluginManager catches the ModuleNotFoundError and parks
the plugin in ERROR with one log line. Get it wrong and the user is told the
wrong thing about why their scoreboard vanished.

Hockey first, alone, because B5 shipped four of eight plugins with scroll mode
broken at once and every gate was green at the time. It is also the only
adoption besides baseball exercised on real hardware.

The floor rises to 3.2.0 -- the release that ships the module, not a later one:
a floor describes what the plugin needs. compatible_versions moves to >=3.2.0
with it, since compatibility.check evaluates the range before the floor and
leaving >=2.0.0 beside a 3.2.0 floor would be self-contradictory even though it
changes no verdict.

Behaviour is unchanged. The frozen copy and the live path were method-for-method
identical for every content method, all 16 safety-harness renders pass across
eight panel sizes, and the class-level separator-icon constants -- the exact
thing B5 lost -- are byte-identical after the de-indent. 703 lines removed.

test_core_fallback.py -> test_core_scroll.py, rewritten rather than deleted:
its machinery has already caught two shipped bugs, and both were load-time
bugs the harness cannot see because the core base catches exceptions out of
prepare_scroll_content. It now asserts the sunset instead of the fallback --
the import is top-level and unguarded, no copy exists or is imported, the base
is the core class by identity, an old core fails naming exactly
src.common.sports_scroll, and the manifest floors at 3.2.0 or above.

That last one is load-bearing: nothing else in either repo checks the floor's
VALUE. The harness runs against core main, which has the module whatever the
manifest says; check_manifest_version_fields checks the field's spelling, not
its number; the registry carries no floor at all. A sunset shipping with a
2.0.0 floor would be green everywhere while the store handed it to a 3.1.0
core.

The cross-path attribute diff that caught afl's unset _game_renderer has no
second path left to diff against, so it is replaced by a static self-attribute
audit: attributes a method reads that nothing in the class assigns and the
built object does not carry. Same defect class, one path.

check_scroll_adoption.py gains sunset_violations and a SUNSET_PLUGINS set.
offending_classes is left byte-identical so its eleven pinned cases keep
meaning what they mean. The existing check asks whether the fallback was
INLINED and structurally cannot ask whether it still EXISTS -- it opens
scroll_display.py and nothing else -- so a resurrected file or a returned guard
would both pass. The set is listed rather than inferred: a plugin that never
adopted legitimately has neither guard nor copy, so adding an id is the
deliberate act of stating the sunset holds, in the same PR as the deletion.

The self-test's most important new case is the negative one: an unrelated
try/except must not read as the guard returning. This file already has two
(ScrollHelper, the Pillow resample constant) and basketball has three, so a
check that fired on any try/except would have failed all eight on day one.

Also fixes the runner prefix: these scripts printed "FAIL name:", which
run_plugin_tests.py does not match (it greps [FAIL] or FAILED), so CI reported
the stream tail instead of naming the failing check. Now "[FAIL] name:".

Verified both regressions are caught, by both the test and the gate: restoring
the guard fails test_the_core_import_is_unguarded and trips the gate;
restoring the copy fails test_the_bundled_copy_is_gone and trips it too.
hockey 20/20; fleet 222 passed, 2 skipped, 1 failed -- unchanged, that failure
being football's pre-existing test_favorite_live_boost.py, which reproduces on
a clean origin/main.

… here too

Second resolution of this branch against main. Since the last one, #345, #347
and #348 landed, and #346 merged hockey's scroll sunset into here.

Git flagged nine conflicts, all manifests and plugins.json -- no code
conflicts this time. Each manifest had a new versions[] entry on BOTH sides
(this branch's feature release, and main's bug-fix release on the same base),
so they were merged rather than picked: every entry from both sides kept,
sorted newest-first, version set to the higher of the two, and
compatible_versions to the more restrictive -- which preserves hockey's
>=3.2.0 from the sunset. Nothing else in any manifest differed.

Verified main's recent work survived the auto-merge rather than assuming it:
#347's _choose_poll is present in all eight sports.py, #345's
_reset_dwell_on_reentry in football, and #348's recording logger, calendar
1.2.3/3.3.0 floor and flights script rename are all intact.

**The conflict git did not flag.** check_selection_settings failed with 29
problems afterwards. Main retired the "broadcast" tier of
other_games_min_quality in football-scoreboard 3.0.0 -- measured against a
real Week 1 and Week 2 college slate it passed 174 of 175 games, because ESPN
publishes a broadcaster for nearly everything now, ESPN+ included, so it read
as a quality bar and behaved as "any". This branch predates that and still
offered it in all eight lineages. The merge took main's checker and this
branch's schemas, and they disagreed.

Resolved by following main rather than restoring the tier: reinstating it
would have shipped a setting main had already measured as useless across eight
more plugins. Ported football 3.0.0's retirement verbatim -- _QUALITY_CHOICES,
_normalise_quality migrating "broadcast" (and anything unusable) to "ranked"
with a warning, the broadcast branch dropped from _passes_other_filters, and
_note_broadcast_coverage/_broadcast_data_seen removed with it. All eight now
carry exactly the six broadcast references football does, none of them a
quality tier. The enum is gone from 29 schema blocks, and the eight
test_favorites_are_prioritised.py files swap their broadcast-tier checks for
football's migration checks.

A board still holding "broadcast" gets "ranked" and a log line saying why,
rather than silently getting no filtering at all.

Verified: five repo gates pass, including check_selection_settings (9 plugins,
31 blocks) and both gate self-tests; fleet is 238 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

Resolved against current main (983818b)

Second resolution of this branch. Since the last one, #345, #347 and #348 landed, and #346 merged hockey's scroll sunset into here.

Git flagged nine conflicts, all manifests and plugins.json — no code conflicts this time.

The conflict git did not flag

check_selection_settings failed with 29 problems after the merge resolved cleanly.

Main retired the "broadcast" tier of other_games_min_quality in football-scoreboard 3.0.0 — measured against a real Week 1 and Week 2 college slate it passed 174 of 175 games, because ESPN publishes a broadcaster for nearly everything now, ESPN+ included, so it read as a quality bar and behaved as "any". This branch predates that and still offered it in all eight lineages. The merge took main's checker and this branch's schemas, and they disagreed — silently, until the gate ran.

All eight now carry exactly the six broadcast references football does, none of them a quality tier. A board still holding "broadcast" gets "ranked" and a log line saying why, rather than silently getting no filtering at all.

Verification

  • Five repo gates pass, including check_selection_settings (9 plugins, 31 blocks) and both gate self-tests.
  • Fleet: 238 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.
  • CI green on the actual head SHA (983818b) — worth checking explicitly here, since a force-pushed branch in this repo can keep a stale result attached.

Two notes for merging

This branch now carries hockey's scroll sunset (via #346), so hockey reaches main only when this lands. It is the eighth of eight; the other seven are in #349#350#351, all based on main.

Expect a one-line conflict with #351 in scripts/check_scroll_adoption.py: this branch's SUNSET_PLUGINS names hockey-scoreboard, #351's names the other seven. Whichever lands second should end up with all eight in the set.

Still a draft — mark ready when you are happy with it.

Hockey joins this PR so it is not stranded. Its sunset previously lived only in
#346, which merged into #333's branch rather than main -- and #333 is
superseded by #353, which does not carry the sunset. Closing #333 without this
would leave hockey the one scoreboard of eight still shipping a fallback.

Same change as the other seven: scroll_display_legacy.py deleted (703 lines),
the guarded import collapsed to a plain one, floor raised to 3.2.0.
test_core_fallback.py -> test_core_scroll.py, identical to afl's but for the
Run: path.

Bumped to 1.22.0 rather than 1.21.0 so it clears every version hockey currently
holds anywhere: 1.20.3 on main, 1.21.0 on #353's branch. A floor is only
meaningful on a version that can actually supersede what users have.

SUNSET_PLUGINS now names all eight, which is the point of listing it rather
than inferring it -- the set is a statement that the sunset holds, and it is
now true of the whole fleet.

Also brings docs/plugin-development/08-shared-sports-code.md up to date. Its
sunset rule still read "Until condition 3 holds, keep the guarded
try-core/except-local import", which was correct in August and is now the
opposite of what the fleet does. Condition 3 holds for src.common.sports_scroll:
the store refuses on all three routes in -- install_plugin (core #431/#433),
the git-pull branch of update_plugin (#508) and install_from_url (#510). The
rule now says to keep the guard for modules that have NOT been through a
sunset, to drop it along with the copy for those that have, and to raise the
floor in the same commit as the deletion. The instruction to keep it in step
with the core doc "in the same PR" is corrected too: they are in different
repositories, so that was never possible.

Verified: all four separator-icon constants and every method survive the
de-indent byte-for-byte; hockey 19 passed, 0 failed; 16 safety-harness renders
pass; five repo gates pass, with check_scroll_adoption now reporting 8 sunset
plugins free of a fallback; fleet 225 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

…#351)

* feat(sports): sunset the bundled scroll fallback in the last five

afl, basketball, lacrosse, nrl and soccer. Same shape as hockey (#346),
football (#349) and baseball (#350): scroll_display_legacy.py deleted, the
guarded import of the core's src.common.sports_scroll collapsed to a plain one,
manifests floored at 3.2.0. 3,622 lines of frozen copy removed.

Checked before deleting, not after. Every orchestration method in all five
frozen copies was diffed against the core's, looking for logic the core lacks:

- `if not self.scroll_helper` guards -- unreachable in core, which imports
  ScrollHelper unguarded and always constructs one. Legacy needed them because
  its own import was guarded and it sets self.scroll_helper = None.
- `get_dynamic_duration`'s `return 60` fallback -- same unreachable guard.
- `_scroll_start_time` -- legacy reads it, core does not, but only to compute
  an average-FPS debug line that core produces from _fps_sample_start instead.
- `get_current_leagues` returning `.copy()` vs `list()` -- identical.
- `_log_scroll_progress` throttling -- core has it.
- `clear()` -- core resets strictly more state.

None is a behaviour the core is missing. Baseball's px/frame heuristic was the
only real one across all eight, and it was handled in #350.

Two tests were relying on the guard, and both are worth naming because the
sunset is what exposed them:

- lacrosse/test_lacrosse_plugin.py stubs the host `src` modules so the plugin
  imports without a core, and the list did not include src.common.sports_scroll
  -- the guard used to swallow that. Stubbed now, with real classes rather than
  None, since ScrollDisplay subclasses one at module level.
- soccer/test_live_screens.py installs a stub `src` package to fake
  src.logo_downloader, which SHADOWED the core. So its guarded import had been
  falling back, and the test has been exercising the frozen copy rather than
  the class that ships -- since B5. The stub now carries a __path__ into the
  real core so only logo_downloader is faked. Driving the real class then
  surfaced a missing display_width on its hand-built object, which the legacy
  path never read.

Verified: every method and class constant survives the de-indent byte-for-byte
in all five, separator icons included; 112 safety-harness renders pass (24 each
for afl, basketball, nrl and soccer, 16 for lacrosse); five repo gates pass;
fleet is 225 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

SUNSET_PLUGINS names seven. Hockey is the eighth and its sunset (#346) merged
into #333 rather than main, so it arrives with that branch.

scroll_display_legacy.py is deleted and the guarded import of the core's
src.common.sports_scroll collapses to a plain one, with the manifest floored at
3.2.0 to match. Keeping the try/except with nothing behind it would name the
missing scroll_display_legacy rather than the core module actually absent,
which is the single log line a user gets before the scoreboard stops appearing.

Football is the one plugin where this is not a pure deletion, and that deserved
measuring rather than asserting. Everywhere else the frozen copy and the live
path are method-for-method identical; here _default_game_card_width diverged.
The frozen one returns max(128, display_height * 2 + 40); the adopted one
measures the score gap with a throwaway GameRenderer and converges, which is
what stopped the score being drawn across the logos on tall cards.

Built both classes and compared across every supported panel:

    panel      legacy    core   delta
    64x32         128     128   same
    128x32        128     128   same
    256x32        128     128   same
    64x64         168     176     +8
    128x64        168     176     +8
    256x64        168     176     +8
    128x96        232     240     +8
    256x128       296     304     +8

Identical on every 32-tall panel, 8px wider on taller ones, in classic and
adaptive layout alike.

That difference only ever reached users on a pre-3.2.0 core, because everyone
on 3.2.0 or newer has been on the measured path since 2.29.0 -- the fallback
was never the modern path's behaviour. And those users keep the version they
have, since the new floor stops this one reaching them. So the population that
could observe the change is exactly the population that will not receive it: no
board changes what it draws. Recorded in the manifest notes anyway, because
"removed dead code" would be false and the next person deserves the real
answer.

test_core_fallback.py -> test_core_scroll.py, the same rewrite hockey got in
#346 (the two files were byte-identical but for the Run: path, so this is that
rewrite with one substitution). It asserts the sunset rather than the fallback:
the import is top-level and unguarded, no copy exists or is imported, the base
is the core class by identity, an old core fails naming exactly
src.common.sports_scroll, and the manifest floors at 3.2.0 or above.

check_scroll_adoption.py gains sunset_violations and SUNSET_PLUGINS, the same
gate #346 adds for hockey. offending_classes is left byte-identical so its
eleven pinned cases keep meaning what they mean. The existing check asks
whether the fallback was INLINED and structurally cannot ask whether it still
EXISTS -- it opens scroll_display.py and nothing else -- so a resurrected file
or a returned guard would both pass it silently. #346 and this PR each name
their own plugin; whichever lands second resolves a one-line conflict in the
set.

Verified: separator-icon constants and every method survive the de-indent
byte-for-byte (NFL_SEPARATOR_ICON, NCAA_FB_SEPARATOR_ICON, SCROLL_LEAGUE_KEYS,
_SCHEMA_CARD_WIDTH); 24 of 24 safety-harness renders pass across eight panel
sizes and three modes; the four repo gates pass; football's suite is 40 passed,
1 skipped, 0 failed.

* feat(baseball): sunset the bundled scroll fallback, standardise on the core

The third B6 sunset, after hockey (#346) and football (#349). Same shape:
scroll_display_legacy.py deleted, the guarded import of the core's
src.common.sports_scroll collapsed to a plain one, manifest floored at 3.2.0.
Keeping the try/except with nothing behind it would name the missing
scroll_display_legacy rather than the core module actually absent, which is the
single log line a user gets before the scoreboard stops appearing. 764 lines
removed.

Baseball is the one plugin whose frozen copy carried orchestration logic the
core does not have, and that is the point of doing it deliberately rather than
by deletion. Its _configure_scroll_helper had an extra branch: when
scroll_speed * scroll_delay fell outside the 0.1-5.0 pixels-per-frame window
but scroll_speed alone sat inside it, it reinterpreted scroll_speed as
pixels-per-FRAME rather than the pixels-per-second the setting is documented
as. Verified by running both implementations:

    scroll_speed  delay   legacy   core
    50.0          0.01     0.5     0.5    (the default -- agree)
    1.0           0.01     1.0     0.1    10x
    2.0           0.01     2.0     0.1    20x
    0.5           0.01     0.5     0.1     5x

Checked across all eight lineages: baseball's was the only copy with it.

The core's behaviour is the one to keep. The branch silently ignored the unit
the setting is defined in and ran an order of magnitude faster than asked; the
core honours the configured pixels-per-second and clamps to the same window,
which is what every other scoreboard already does. Re-measured after the
collapse: baseball now matches the core exactly at every point in the range
above.

In practice this reaches nobody. The branch only ever ran on a pre-3.2.0 core;
everyone on 3.2.0 or newer has been on the core path since 1.22.0, and the new
floor stops this version reaching the rest. Recorded in the manifest anyway,
because a silently retired behaviour is worse than a documented one.

test_core_fallback.py -> test_core_scroll.py, the same rewrite hockey and
football got. SUNSET_PLUGINS grows to three.

Verified: all three separator-icon constants and every method survive the
de-indent byte-for-byte (MLB_SEPARATOR_ICON, MILB_SEPARATOR_ICON,
NCAA_BASEBALL_SEPARATOR_ICON, SCROLL_LEAGUE_KEYS, _SCHEMA_CARD_WIDTH); 24 of 24
safety-harness renders pass across eight panel sizes; the four repo gates pass;
baseball's suite is 26 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed.

* feat(sports): sunset the bundled scroll fallback in the remaining six (#351)

* feat(sports): sunset the bundled scroll fallback in the last five

afl, basketball, lacrosse, nrl and soccer. Same shape as hockey (#346),
football (#349) and baseball (#350): scroll_display_legacy.py deleted, the
guarded import of the core's src.common.sports_scroll collapsed to a plain one,
manifests floored at 3.2.0. 3,622 lines of frozen copy removed.

Checked before deleting, not after. Every orchestration method in all five
frozen copies was diffed against the core's, looking for logic the core lacks:

- `if not self.scroll_helper` guards -- unreachable in core, which imports
  ScrollHelper unguarded and always constructs one. Legacy needed them because
  its own import was guarded and it sets self.scroll_helper = None.
- `get_dynamic_duration`'s `return 60` fallback -- same unreachable guard.
- `_scroll_start_time` -- legacy reads it, core does not, but only to compute
  an average-FPS debug line that core produces from _fps_sample_start instead.
- `get_current_leagues` returning `.copy()` vs `list()` -- identical.
- `_log_scroll_progress` throttling -- core has it.
- `clear()` -- core resets strictly more state.

None is a behaviour the core is missing. Baseball's px/frame heuristic was the
only real one across all eight, and it was handled in #350.

Two tests were relying on the guard, and both are worth naming because the
sunset is what exposed them:

- lacrosse/test_lacrosse_plugin.py stubs the host `src` modules so the plugin
  imports without a core, and the list did not include src.common.sports_scroll
  -- the guard used to swallow that. Stubbed now, with real classes rather than
  None, since ScrollDisplay subclasses one at module level.
- soccer/test_live_screens.py installs a stub `src` package to fake
  src.logo_downloader, which SHADOWED the core. So its guarded import had been
  falling back, and the test has been exercising the frozen copy rather than
  the class that ships -- since B5. The stub now carries a __path__ into the
  real core so only logo_downloader is faked. Driving the real class then
  surfaced a missing display_width on its hand-built object, which the legacy
  path never read.

Verified: every method and class constant survives the de-indent byte-for-byte
in all five, separator icons included; 112 safety-harness renders pass (24 each
for afl, basketball, nrl and soccer, 16 for lacrosse); five repo gates pass;
fleet is 225 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

SUNSET_PLUGINS names seven. Hockey is the eighth and its sunset (#346) merged
into #333 rather than main, so it arrives with that branch.

* feat(hockey): sunset the bundled scroll fallback, completing B6

Hockey joins this PR so it is not stranded. Its sunset previously lived only in
#346, which merged into #333's branch rather than main -- and #333 is
superseded by #353, which does not carry the sunset. Closing #333 without this
would leave hockey the one scoreboard of eight still shipping a fallback.

Same change as the other seven: scroll_display_legacy.py deleted (703 lines),
the guarded import collapsed to a plain one, floor raised to 3.2.0.
test_core_fallback.py -> test_core_scroll.py, identical to afl's but for the
Run: path.

Bumped to 1.22.0 rather than 1.21.0 so it clears every version hockey currently
holds anywhere: 1.20.3 on main, 1.21.0 on #353's branch. A floor is only
meaningful on a version that can actually supersede what users have.

SUNSET_PLUGINS now names all eight, which is the point of listing it rather
than inferring it -- the set is a statement that the sunset holds, and it is
now true of the whole fleet.

Also brings docs/plugin-development/08-shared-sports-code.md up to date. Its
sunset rule still read "Until condition 3 holds, keep the guarded
try-core/except-local import", which was correct in August and is now the
opposite of what the fleet does. Condition 3 holds for src.common.sports_scroll:
the store refuses on all three routes in -- install_plugin (core #431/#433),
the git-pull branch of update_plugin (#508) and install_from_url (#510). The
rule now says to keep the guard for modules that have NOT been through a
sunset, to drop it along with the copy for those that have, and to raise the
floor in the same commit as the deletion. The instruction to keep it in step
with the core doc "in the same PR" is corrected too: they are in different
repositories, so that was never possible.

Verified: all four separator-icon constants and every method survive the
de-indent byte-for-byte; hockey 19 passed, 0 failed; 16 safety-harness renders
pass; five repo gates pass, with check_scroll_adoption now reporting 8 sunset
plugins free of a fallback; fleet 225 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed.

* fix(tests): drop a dead import, and name the missing core where it is missed

Two review findings, both valid.

**`import types` was unused** in every copy of test_core_scroll.py. Inherited
rather than introduced: the original test_core_fallback.py never used it
either, and football's copy already on main carries it too. Removed from all
eight, football's included, so the eight stay byte-identical bar the `Run:`
path -- that identity is the property that makes them one rewrite replicated
rather than eight files to keep in step. It was the only F401 in the set.

**test_live_screens.py stubbed `src` even when it could not find a core.** The
stub only receives a `__path__` when discovery succeeds; without one it shadows
the real package, and scroll_display's now-unguarded import fails with
"'src' is not a package" -- naming `src` rather than the core module, which is
exactly the misleading symptom the comment three lines above warns about. It
now says so at the discovery point instead.

Skips rather than fails, exit 2 per run_plugin_tests.py's convention: no core
on the path is a "cannot run here", not a broken plugin. Verified both ways --
with a core the file passes as before, without one it exits 2 and the message
names the real cause and the fix.

Fleet 246 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failed; four gates pass.
