Summary

FCS teams have no logo in the shipped set, so their cards drew with no badges —
and nothing anywhere said so.

Reported as a "broken matchup": FUR vs TENN with no logos. TNST @ UGA looked
identical.

What was actually wrong

The bundled ncaa_logos/ set covers FBS only — 209 files. TENN, UGA, AUB,
IDHO, UTAH and BAY were all present; FUR and TNST were not.

The game data was fine. ESPN supplied everything needed:

shortName : FUR @ TENN
date      : 2026-09-05T19:30Z
  TENN  logo=True
  FUR   logo=True        ← a usable logo URL, in the same payload

And the downloader worked. Calling it directly fetched Furman's badge from
https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/ncaa/500/231.png — 43,827 bytes, directory
writable.

The problem was purely when it ran. The lazy download sits in the render
path and never fired: zero Logo not found lines, zero errors, zero exceptions,
across an entire boot. Nothing failed — the file just was not there.

The change

Fetch in _extract_game_details_common, where every game dict is built. ESPN
returns the logo URL alongside the game, so the moment a team is known to be
showing, its badge URL is already in hand.

That also puts the HTTP round trip on the data thread rather than the render
thread, matching how map tiles and album art were moved.

Verified on hardware

Applied to the affected Pi and restarted:

96 logos downloaded, 0 failures
ncaa_logos: 209 → 307
FUR.png   43,827 bytes
TNST.png  91,456 bytes

A race the first cut got wrong

Live, recent and upcoming managers each build game dicts, so two can want the
same badge simultaneously. The first version produced:

15:27:03.993  NCAAFBUpcomingManager - Could not fetch a logo for MVSU
15:27:04.316  NCAAFBRecentManager  - Downloaded logo for MVSU

The loser recorded a permanent failure for a logo the winner had just written.
Now existence is checked before the failure set, and a file that appeared during
the call counts as success rather than failure. Re-verified: 0 failures.

Testing

test_missing_team_logos.py — 6 tests: an existing badge is not re-fetched, a
missing one is requested with the ESPN URL from the game dict, a genuine failure
is not retried forever, losing the race is not recorded as a failure, a raising
downloader does not break the game, and a game without logo fields is skipped.

Against unfixed sports.py the suite fails at collection (_ensure_team_logos is gone; missing badges will not be fetched).

Other football-scoreboard tests are identical before and after — test_adaptive_layout_mode
(1 error), test_core_fallback (1 failed/5 passed), test_football_plugin
(2 passed/4 errors) all reproduce unchanged on main. Environment-related in my
checkout, not regressions.

pyflakes reports one warning in this file, _no_data_interval_attr at line
3330 — also present on main, untouched by this change.

What I could not explain

I did not establish why the existing lazy download stays silent. _load_and_resize_logo
looks correct: the cache stores only successes, get_logo_filename_variations("FUR")
returns just FUR.png, and the download branch logs at INFO. It should fire. It
does not.

Rather than keep guessing, I moved the fetch to a place where the code
demonstrably runs and verified the outcome on the hardware. The lazy path is
left in place as a fallback and is worth understanding separately.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Automatically fetches missing team badges using available ESPN logo information.
    • Caches failed badge downloads to avoid repeatedly retrying unavailable images.
    • Continues displaying game details even when badge downloads fail or logo data is unavailable.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevents unnecessary re-downloads when badges already exist.
    • Handles simultaneous badge updates safely.

The shipped logo set covers FBS only. An FCS opponent has no file, so its
card drew with no badge -- on one live rig, 96 teams across the NCAA
schedule, including Furman and Tennessee State.

Nothing was logged and nothing errored, because nothing had failed. The
file simply was not there, and the renderer's lazy download never ran:
zero "Logo not found" lines, zero exceptions, across a whole boot.

The fetch now happens in _extract_game_details_common, where every game
dict is built. ESPN returns the logo URL in the same payload as the game,
so the moment a team is known to be showing, its badge URL is already in
hand. It also keeps the HTTP round trip on the data thread rather than
the render thread, matching how tiles and album art were moved.

Verified on the affected board: 96 badges downloaded on the first pass,
0 failures, ncaa_logos 209 -> 307, and the two teams that prompted this
(FUR 43,827 bytes, TNST 91,456 bytes) now present.

A team whose logo genuinely cannot be fetched is remembered so it is not
re-requested on every data pass. The live, recent and upcoming managers
each build game dicts, so two can want the same badge at once -- the
first cut of this recorded a failure for a logo the other manager had
just written. Existence is now checked before the failure set, and a file
that appeared during the call counts as success.

I could not establish why the existing lazy path stays silent; it is left
in place as a fallback.

Walkthrough

Changes

The football scoreboard now fetches missing team badges during game-data extraction. It caches failed logo abbreviations, handles concurrent writes and downloader exceptions, adds focused tests, and increments the plugin version to 2.26.1.

Football logo fetching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Missing logo fetch flow
plugins/football-scoreboard/sports.py
SportsCore tracks failed logo fetches. _ensure_team_logos checks badge files, downloads missing logos, handles errors, and runs before game details return.
Logo fetch validation and release metadata
plugins/football-scoreboard/test_missing_team_logos.py, plugins/football-scoreboard/manifest.json
Tests cover cached badges, URL forwarding, failures, concurrent writes, exceptions, and missing logo fields. The manifest records version 2.26.1 and its changelog entry.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9c8e2

The PR fetches missing team logos during game-data construction, but stalled downloads can delay scoreboard updates and the new test currently fails static-analysis checks because it executes parsed production source; these issues should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

TIP This summary will be updated as you push new changes.

Codacy flagged the exec() in this test four times, two of them CRITICAL.
The security reading was overstated -- the input was sports.py from the
test's own directory, not anything a user supplies -- but the finding was
right that the technique was wrong, and the better fix was not a
suppression.

The test AST-parsed sports.py, pulled _ensure_team_logos out, and exec'd
it into a synthetic module. That tests a detached copy of the function:
it would keep passing if the method stopped being wired into the class,
or if the class's own attributes drifted from what the copy assumed.

It now imports sports and subclasses SportsCore, implementing the two
abstract methods and building the instance with __new__ so none of the
heavy __init__ runs. The method under test is the one the plugin
actually calls, and download_missing_logo is patched on the module the
code resolves it through.

No exec, no ast, and pyflakes is clean. Verified the tests still catch
the bug: against main's sports.py all six fail; with the fix all six
pass.

Share unavailable-logo state across managers.

_logo_fetch_failed is instance-local. Live, recent, and upcoming managers therefore keep separate failure records and can each retry the same unavailable logo. Use a synchronized shared failure/in-flight cache keyed by plugin, sport, and logo path.

As per coding guidelines: “cache with plugin-id-namespaced keys.”

Do not block game-data construction on each logo request.

Line 1401 calls download_missing_logo synchronously. Its request timeout is 30 seconds. If both missing logo endpoints stall, one game-detail extraction can wait about 60 seconds before it returns. Queue downloads with bounded concurrency and a short per-pass deadline so stale logo retrieval does not delay scoreboard updates.

Remove dynamic code execution from this test.

Line 40 executes source parsed from sports.py. Ruff and Codacy report this exact use of exec as an error, so the current static-analysis check fails. Move the helper into a dependency-light module and import it normally in the test.

Codacy's pylint reads _Manager.__new__(_Manager) as a classmethod call
missing its cls argument. The idiom is valid Python, but the intent reads
better as a test-local __init__ that sets the three attributes the method
touches and deliberately does not chain to SportsCore.__init__, which
builds HTTP sessions, fonts and a display manager this test has no use
for.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both of CodeRabbit's findings on this PR, which turn out to have one
answer.

Blocking: download_missing_logo allows 30s per request and was called
inline from _extract_game_details_common. A game with two missing badges
could hold its own detail extraction for a minute, delaying every
scoreboard update queued behind it. Moving the fetch off the render
thread was right; leaving it in front of game-data construction was not.

Duplication: _logo_fetch_failed was per-instance. The live, recent and
upcoming managers each build game dicts, so all three would queue the
same badge and each keep a private note of what failed -- three attempts
at a logo ESPN does not have.

_LogoFetcher now owns both concerns: a two-worker pool so the data thread
only ever submits, and class-level pending/failed sets under a lock so
one request is made per badge no matter which manager sees the game
first. Keys are namespaced by sport, since two leagues can share an
abbreviation.

A badge that arrives late is not a problem: the card draws without it
once and correctly on the next pass.

Tests split accordingly -- what the game asks for (never downloads on the
calling thread) from what the fetcher does (dedupes, does not retry real
failures, treats a file written by another manager as success, contains a
raising downloader). 10 tests; all error against main, all pass here.

#334 landed while this was open. Two conflicts, both bookkeeping:

- manifest.json: both version entries kept, 2.27.0 above 2.26.1, so the logo
  fix's changelog is not lost behind this one. Descending order, as the file
  already is.
- plugins.json: regenerated rather than merged, which is the only correct
  resolution for a generated file.

sports.py merged cleanly and both sides are intact: _ensure_team_logos is still
called from _extract_game_details_common where #334 put it, and the selection
work is untouched. Verified rather than assumed -- test_missing_team_logos.py
passes against the merged file, and so does the rest of the suite.
