fix: Resolve production deployment issues - lib64, noexec, and package mismatches (#10)
* fix: Remove obsolete lib64 workaround causing read-only filesystem errors
## Problem
Customer reported: "mkdir: cannot create directory
'/var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/lib64': Read-only file system"
This prevented extension startup and user scripts from running.
## Root Cause
Legacy RKNN workaround code (from July 2025) attempted to create lib64
directories and symlinks to work around hardcoded /usr/lib64/ paths in
the full RKNN toolkit.
This workaround became obsolete when:
- BrightSign OS 9.1.79.3+ started providing /usr/lib/librknnrt.so natively
- Project switched to RKNNLite exclusively (Oct 2025)
- RKNNLite uses correct ARM64 path (/usr/lib/, not /usr/lib64/)
The workaround code was partially removed in Jan 2025 (commit f20fae6)
when binary patching was eliminated, but lib64 directory creation remained.
## Why It Failed Now
Production deployments install to /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev which is:
- Read-only squashfs filesystem (extension firmwares)
- Cannot create directories or symlinks
Development deployments to /usr/local/pydev worked because:
- /usr/local is writable
- Code silently succeeded despite being unnecessary
## Changes Made
### sh/setup_python_env
- Removed lib64 directory creation (lines 186-200)
- Removed /usr/local/lib64 symlink creation (lines 213-227)
- Removed /tmp/lib binary patching workaround (lines 205-211)
- Removed LD_PRELOAD workaround (no longer needed)
- Simplified to 38 lines from 65 lines
New behavior:
1. Check for system library (/usr/lib/librknnrt.so) - OS 9.1.79.3+
2. Fallback to extension library with LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3. Warn if neither found
### sh/cleanup-extension
- Removed lib64 cleanup code (no longer creates symlinks)
- Updated comments to reflect current architecture
### docs/troubleshooting-user-init.md
- Added "Check 0" for lib64 read-only filesystem error
- Added "Scenario 0" to common scenarios
- Documented upgrade path and temporary workaround
- Explained historical context
## Impact
✅ Fixes production deployment failures (read-only filesystem)
✅ Maintains compatibility with OS 9.1.79.3+ (uses system library)
✅ Simpler code (27 fewer lines, no filesystem operations)
✅ Works on both production (/var/volatile/bsext) and dev (/usr/local) deployments
✅ No functionality regression (RKNN still works via system library)
## Testing Recommendations
1. Deploy to production location: /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev
2. Verify: /var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/bsext_init run
3. Should see: "RKNN Runtime library found (system - OS 9.1.79.3+)"
4. Should NOT see: "Read-only file system" errors
5. Verify user scripts execute correctly

* fix: Handle noexec filesystem - run all .sh files regardless of executable bit
## Problem
Customer reported scripts marked executable (`-rwxrwxr-x`) were being skipped with message:
"Skipping disabled script: 01_validate_cv.sh (not executable)"
This was confusing - the file HAD the executable bit set according to `ls -la`.
## Root Cause
The `/storage/sd` filesystem is mounted with the `noexec` flag. This means:
1. Files cannot be executed directly from this location
2. The `[ -x file ]` test fails even when permission bit is set
3. The `-x` test checks BOTH permission bits AND filesystem mount options
The code comment said "Use bash to execute since /storage/sd is mounted noexec"
but then checked `[ -x ]` which fails on noexec mounts - contradiction!
## Why This Matters
- `/storage/sd` is the ONLY persistent writable location on BrightSign players
- User scripts MUST run from `/storage/sd/python-init/`
- All scripts are executed via `bash script.sh` (not `./script.sh`)
- So the executable bit is actually irrelevant for execution
## Changes Made
### sh/run-user-init
**Changed** script detection logic:
- Before: `if [ -x "$script" ]` - checks if file is executable
- After: `if [ -r "$script" ]` - checks if file is readable
**Why readable**: All `.sh` files should be readable by default. Since we use
`bash script.sh` to execute (bypasses noexec), we only need read access.
**New disable mechanism**: Users rename scripts to not end in `.sh`:
- Disable: `mv script.sh script.sh.disabled`
- Enable: `mv script.sh.disabled script.sh`
Alternative: Make unreadable (requires root): `chmod -r script.sh`
### user-init/README.md
- Documented that `/storage/sd` is mounted `noexec`
- Explained executable bit doesn't control execution
- Updated "Script Toggle Control" section with rename method
- Updated troubleshooting to reflect actual behavior
- Removed misleading references to `chmod +x`
### docs/troubleshooting-user-init.md
- Updated "Check 7" to explain noexec filesystem behavior
- Clarified why "not executable" message was misleading
- Documented proper enable/disable methods
- Explained the `-x` test limitation on noexec mounts
## Impact
✅ All `.sh` files in `/storage/sd/python-init/` now run automatically
✅ No more confusing "not executable" messages for properly named files
✅ Clearer documentation on how to enable/disable scripts
✅ Simpler mental model: "ends in .sh" = runs
## Customer Benefit
Customer's `01_validate_cv.sh` will now run without any changes needed.
## Testing
Script should now run:
```bash
cd /storage/sd/python-init/
ls -la 01_validate_cv.sh # Shows -rwxrwxr-x
/var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/bsext_init run
# Should see: "Running user init script: 01_validate_cv.sh"
# Should NOT see: "Skipping disabled script"
```

* fix: Update user-init examples to match RKNNLite SDK architecture
## Problem
Customer encountered package installation errors and test failures.
Root cause: Examples were never updated when project switched from full
RKNN toolkit to RKNNLite-only (Oct 2025 decision).
Specific issues:
1. test_cv_packages.py imported 'rknn' (doesn't exist, should be 'rknnlite')
2. Tested for onnx*, fast_histogram (not in SDK - removed with full toolkit)
3. requirements.txt had file:// path to /usr/local/pydev (wrong location)
4. requirements.txt listed SDK packages (numpy, torch, etc.) causing reinstall attempts
5. No documentation of what's pre-installed vs user-installable
## Changes Made
### test_cv_packages.py
**Fixed imports**:
- Removed: rknn, onnx, onnxruntime, onnxoptimizer, fast_histogram
- Added: rknnlite.api (correct RKNNLite import)
- Added: pandas, skimage (in SDK but weren't tested)
**Made informational** (always succeeds):
- Reports what packages are available
- Doesn't fail if optional packages missing
- Exit code 0 (validation report, not requirement check)
- Updated summary: "Environment Report" not "Tests Failed"
**Result**: Validates actual SDK environment, won't fail on intentionally-removed packages
### requirements.txt
**Complete rewrite**:
- Removed all SDK pre-installed packages (numpy, torch, cv2, etc.)
- Removed file:// path to rknn-toolkit-lite2 (already in SDK)
- Removed 60+ lines of redundant packages
- Added clear header explaining what should/shouldn't be listed
- Kept commented examples of user-installable packages:
- opencv-contrib-python (extended modules)
- Application utilities (APScheduler, requests, redis)
- Communication protocols (pyserial)
**Result**: Clear template, won't try to reinstall SDK packages
### 01_validate_cv.sh
**Updated comments and messages**:
- Added note that validation is informational
- Changed "failed" to "script error" (more accurate)
- Updated success message to reflect reporting nature
**Result**: Clear expectations for what validation does
### user-init/examples/README.md
**Added comprehensive SDK package documentation**:
**New section: "Pre-installed SDK Packages"**:
- Lists all pre-installed packages by category
- Core Python, CV/Image Processing, ML/Deep Learning, Scientific Computing, Utilities
- Clear note: "Do NOT list in requirements.txt"
**New section: "User-Installable Packages"**:
- Examples of what users can add
- Explains difference from SDK packages
**Updated file descriptions**:
- requirements.txt: "Example template for user-installable packages"
- test_cv_packages.py: "Reports informationally"
**Result**: Users understand what's included, what they can add
## Impact
✅ Test script matches actual SDK contents
✅ No more import errors for rknn/onnx packages
✅ No more file:// path errors
✅ No attempts to reinstall SDK packages
✅ Clear documentation of SDK vs user packages
✅ Validation always succeeds (informational reporting)
## Customer Benefit
Customer's deployment will now:
- Complete requirements installation without errors
- Run validation script successfully
- Get clear report of package availability
- Understand what packages are pre-installed
- Know how to add additional packages safely
## Testing
After customer rebuilds and redeploys:
```bash
/var/volatile/bsext/ext_pydev/bsext_init run
# Should see:
# "Running user initialization..."
# "Found requirements.txt, installing packages..."
# (no package installation errors - file is now just comments)
# "Running user init script: 01_validate_cv.sh"
# "✓ CV environment validation completed"
```
