The raster test needs to be started with halrun to have realtime started
and stopped properly.

rtapi_app: start command / autostop removed
This gives rtapi_app a deterministic behavior. No other changes needed
except implementing start / stop in realtime due to all apps run:
realtime start at startup
realtime stop at exit
Autostart is still available with a deprecation message to not break
existing setups. But it is done in a different way by forking and then
sending the command over the socket. This allows for easy separation
into master / client in the future.

interp: split loaded vs applied tool offset params (#5401-#5409, #5081-#5089)
Commit 725231f made #5401-#5409 report the tool length offset actually
applied to motion. That matched the documentation, but broke probing
routines in the wild that read #5401-#5409 right after an M6 (without a
following G43) to get the loaded tool's stored offset. See #4216.
Restore the long-standing behavior of #5401-#5409 and put the applied
offset in a new parameter set instead:
- #5401-#5409: loaded tool's stored offset, refreshed from the tool
table on tool change (M6), at startup, and by G10 L1/L10/L11.
Reverts the convert_setup_tool / set_tool_parameters /
default_tool_parameters / init_tool_parameters changes from 725231f
so existing routines keep working.
- #5081-#5089: tool length offset actually applied to motion, written
by convert_tool_length_offset for G43, G43Hn, G43.1, G43.2, and
zeroed by G49. This is the value 725231f intended to expose.
Docs (overview.adoc, g-code.adoc) and the interp_parameter_def.hh enum
updated to describe both sets.
Fixes #4216. Re-addresses #2994 without the regression.

build: keep comp manpage adoc rules out of the kbuild pass
In the KERNELRELEASE (kbuild) pass COMPS is rebuilt from a wildcard that
mixes hal/components and hal/drivers, so the adoc targets derived from it
picked up hal/drivers/*.comp entries that fail the hal/components/%.comp
static pattern rule, breaking RTAI builds. Move the manpage adoc vars and
rules inside the non-kbuild else branch. Fixes #4226.

latency-test, latency-histogram: add realtime status bar
Add a status bar along the bottom of both tools with three fields: the
running realtime type (or a red "No realtime"), the CPU frequency
governor, and isolcpus. A field turns red only when it flags a
condition that makes the measured latency unrepresentative, so normal
states stay in the theme colour.
The realtime type comes from 'realtime verify', so both tools report
the authoritative type rtapi_app runs rather than each re-sniffing
kernel signals. latency-test renders the bar as a pyvcp footer;
latency-histogram as a Tk status bar, replacing its earlier modal
"no realtime" popup. The duplicate non-realtime console warning is
dropped since rtapi_app already prints the actionable note.
docs/install/latency-test.adoc gains a status-bar section explaining
each field plus a CPU frequency governor tuning note.

rtapi_app: return the realtime type name from check_rt
Extend the check_rt result wire format to carry a string alongside the
int return code, and map the rtapi realtime type enum to a human
readable name (for example "Preempt RT", "RTAI", "Xenomai" or
"No realtime"). rtapi_app prints the name on stdout so callers such as
'realtime verify' and the lcnc_realtime Python module report the
authoritative realtime type instead of sniffing kernel signals.
Includes review fixups: a short-read check in recv_result(), a
frame-size underflow guard in recv_result()/recv_args(), an exhaustive
type-name switch, and typo fixes.

latency: detect realtime via 'realtime verify' instead of setuid heuristic
Query realtime status with 'realtime verify' (from #4132) rather than
probing the setuid bit. latency-histogram asks the realtime layer
directly; latency-test relies on the existing "POSIX non-realtime" note.

Without 'sudo make setuid' (or 'sudo make setcap') rtapi_app runs
unprivileged: no SCHED_FIFO, no locked memory, so latency readings are
wildly inflated and easy to mistake for a code regression. Warn, for a
non-root user, when rtapi_app is neither setuid root nor carries the
cap_sys_nice capability.
Closes #4044

docs: generate translated .so manpage stubs from the English original
A .so alias stub is a language-invariant redirect (just a path).
asciidoctor emits these stubs as a byproduct of rendering a translated
primary page, deriving the path from the translated NAME line, so a
stray space in a translation can break the alias and abort the htmldocs
build. Overwrite every translated stub with the canonical English one,
after the primaries that emit them are built. The stub list is found at
recipe time because the wildcard-based MAN_SRCS is empty on a clean build.

motion: drive joint.N.index-enable only on edges
joint.N.index-enable is a HAL_IO pin: homing writes 1 to arm an index
search, the encoder driver writes 0 to clear it on the index pulse.
base_write_homing_out_pins wrote it every servo cycle, clamping a pin
homing does not exclusively own and holding it low after homing finished.
That fights any other writer on the signal. Netting it to
spindle.N.index-enable breaks G33/G33.1: idle homing overwrites the
spindle's sync request low and the move rapids instead of waiting for
the index.
Drive the pin only on homing's own edges (arm on rising, release on
falling) and otherwise leave it for the encoder to clear.

Add hal_get_realtime_type() and update doc on rtapi_is_realtime()
rtapi_is_realtime() was always unreliable and broken for user components
for some time. It is fixed but only available for rt components now.
hal_get_realtime_type() returns the true running realtime type
through the HAL for user and realtime components.
This function is also exposed through python hal.
rtapi_app now unloads hal_lib at exit, so everything is cleaned up
properly and realtime_type is set back to REALTIME_TYPE_UNINITIALIZED.

docs: deduplicate per-language images into a shared build-time pool
The HTML build copied every referenced image into all 8 language trees, so
the built tree was ~324MB, mostly duplicate image bytes. The image resolver,
previously used only for the PDF build, now runs for HTML too and rewrites
every image src (and click-to-enlarge link) to a shared pool: a generic image
to image/<srcrel> and a localized foo_<lang> variant to <lang>/image/<srcrel>,
where <srcrel> is the path relative to docs/src. .html-images-stamp then
materialises the pool as real files, one copy per unique image. No post-build
pass and no symlinks (a server may lack FollowSymLinks). The 8-language tree
drops to ~120MB.
The page language is passed explicitly as lcnc-lang to both the HTML and PDF
builds: the Asciidoctor 2.0 CLI has no sourcemap option and the render-tree
path does not encode the language, so the previous path-based detection was
unreliable.
This replaces the CI-only dedup-docs.py pass, which is removed.

qtvcp: arm terminate/interrupt handlers before screen construction
The handlers were installed only just before the event loop, after
construction. SIGINT's default handler raises KeyboardInterrupt, so an
interrupt during construction became an unhandled exception (headless, it
hung on the error dialog). Install them right after QApplication is created;
before the loop runs a signal does a clean shutdown and exit, once running
it quits the loop as before.

qtvcp: fix undefined name in gcode_editor Qsci import fallback
The PyQt5 branch of the QScintilla import fallback caught ImportError
without binding it (no 'as e') but then passed exc_info=e to LOG.critical,
raising NameError. Because sys.excepthook is installed at qtvcp startup and
pops a modal error dialog, that NameError turns a missing python3-pyqt5.qsci
into an indefinite hang (the dialog blocks forever under headless/CI) instead
of a clean exit.
Bind the exception as e and sys.exit(1), matching the PyQt6 branch below.

build: fix stale soname symlink after a library version bump
When a shared library's soname is bumped (e.g. liblinuxcncini.so.0 ->
.so.1), incremental trees keep the old .so.0 on disk. The generic
../lib/%.so symlink has two pattern rules in src/Makefile (matching
%.so.0 and %.so.1, .so.0 listed first), so make repoints the dev symlink
at the stale .so.0. Everything then links against the old library and
fails with undefined symbols (e.g. IniFile::mapLinearUnits), breaking the
python module, linuxcnc_check_ini and startup. Clean builds are immune,
so CI never sees it; only incremental builders across the bump are hit.
make clean did not help either: .so.0 is no longer in TARGETS, so
rm -f $(TARGETS) leaves it behind.
Fixes:
- liblinuxcncini.so.1 rule removes any leftover .so.[0-9]* sibling.
- Add an explicit liblinuxcncini.so -> .so.1 symlink rule. Explicit rules
override the ambiguous pattern pair, so the symlink repoints to the
current soname in a single build pass (the rm alone self-heals only on
a second make).
- genclean also removes ../lib/*.so.[0-9]* so stale versioned libraries
no longer survive make clean.

qtvcp: move return out of finally in SAVE_PROGRAM
return npath sat inside the finally block, which silently overrode the
except branch's return None. SAVE_PROGRAM therefore returned a valid
looking path even when the write failed, swallowing the exception.
Dedenting it to the method body restores the intended error semantics
and clears the SyntaxWarning Python 3.14 emits for return in finally.
Fixes #4169.

touchy: open at a sensible minimum window height
Touchy sizes its window to the active notebook tab's preferred size
on first map. The Startup tab is the smallest of the six (just the
MPG wheel and Cycle Start), so the window opens around 984 by 274
pixels and the other tabs (Status, Auto, Preferences) are clipped
until the user resizes manually.
Floor the initial height at 500 pixels in _fit_to_monitor's default
branch so all tabs are usable out of the box, capped at the work
area so we never open off-screen. A 600 pixel touchscreen panel
with a top and bottom bar still has the room; on a smaller display
the existing monitor cap keeps the window on-screen. The minimum
size request is untouched, so the user can still resize smaller.

interp: expose absolute machine position as #5021-#5029
Add a machine-coordinate current-position parameter set, matching the
layout used by other controllers. Reading machine coordinates
previously required either summing the individual offset registers by
formula or the G30.1 trick (which writes the absolute position into
#5181-#5186).
#5021-#5029 hold the current absolute machine position (G53 frame) for
X Y Z A B C U V W, in the current program units, with no coordinate
system, G92/G52 or tool length offset applied. They are read-only and
volatile, filled each line alongside #5420-#5428 and not persisted to
the var file.
This is the same value already available as the #<_abs_*> named
parameters, which until now existed only for X Y Z A B C; the U V W
named parameters (#<_abs_u>, #<_abs_v>, #<_abs_w>) are added to match.
The shared computation is factored into get_abs_position().
