Title:
Add OpenRGB reconnect and retry behavior

Description:
Make the controller handle OpenRGB startup timing and temporary connection failures more gracefully.

Scope:

  • Retry connection to the OpenRGB SDK server for a limited time.
  • Provide clear error messages when OpenRGB is unavailable.
  • Avoid writing RGB until mapping validation succeeds.
  • Do not enter an unsafe partial-running state.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Controller can wait briefly for OpenRGB to become available.
  • If OpenRGB remains unavailable, the controller exits safely.
  • No RGB writes happen before validation.

Implemented in PR #36 and merged into main.

Summary:

  • Added limited OpenRGB startup retry behavior.
  • Runtime now attempts OpenRGB connection up to 3 times with a 2-second delay between attempts.
  • OpenRGB unavailable/refused connection exits cleanly with code 3.
  • Runtime OpenRGB disconnects are now handled cleanly without a messy traceback.
  • Blank disconnect details now log as no additional details.
  • Mapping/config validation errors remain clear and are not hidden by retry behavior.
  • Dry-run behavior remains hardware-free and still avoids OpenRGB connection and RGB writes.
  • Reserved ARGB zone remains untouched.

Validated:

  • ruff format src/rgb_aura
  • ruff check src/rgb_aura scripts tests
  • dry-run scheduler preview
  • OpenRGB unavailable startup retry test
  • normal 20-second runtime test
  • runtime disconnect test while RGB Aura was running

Commit:

  • 5d710da Add OpenRGB reconnect and retry behavior

Closing as completed.
