auto_update.py

"""Weekly automatic updates: LEDMatrix code, then installed plugins.

Turned on by ``auto_update.enabled`` in config.json (General tab, or the
installer's --enable-auto-update). Off by default: an update pulls new code and
restarts the display, which nobody should get without asking for it.

Nothing here is allowed to leave a device broken without saying so:

* **Checks first.** The code update is skipped, and the reason reported, when
  the checkout has local edits or commits, a rebase or merge is in progress,
  the branch has no upstream, disk is low, the newest commit was already
  rolled back once, or the health check is not set up.
* **On its channel.** ``auto_update.channel`` picks the newest release tag
  (stable) or main (beta); web_interface/update_channel.py decides, and never
  moves a device to an older commit than the one it runs.
* **Verified, and rolled back.** The pull itself is the Overview "Update Code"
  path (``perform_core_update``). Restarting and checking the result is handed
  to ledmatrix-update-verify.service (scripts/utils/auto_update_verify.py),
  started through ledmatrix-update-verify.path by a request file, which
  survives the web service restart, confirms both services come up and stay
  up, and otherwise resets to the previous commit and its dependencies.
* **Set up without SSH.** Those units are installed by the installer, or by the
  display service when the toggle is switched on (src/auto_update_setup.py).
* **Plugins after the code.** Plugins use the Plugin Store's own update, which
  refuses versions this core cannot run and restores the old copy when an
  install fails. When the code changed they wait until it passed its check,
  so they are never gated against code that is about to be rolled back.
* **Loud failures.** Anything other than success is written to the state file,
  shown under the toggle and raised as a banner on the Overview tab.

The schedule survives restarts through data/auto_update_state.json (gitignored).
