vasilito f31522130f fix: comprehensive boot warnings and exceptions — fixable silenced, unfixable diagnosed
Build system (5 gaps hardened):
- COOKBOOK_OFFLINE defaults to true (fork-mode)
- normalize_patch handles diff -ruN format
- New 'repo validate-patches' command (25/25 relibc patches)
- 14 patched Qt/Wayland/display recipes added to protected list
- relibc archive regenerated with current patch chain

Boot fixes (fixable):
- Full ISO EFI partition: 16 MiB → 1 MiB (matches mini, BIOS hardcoded 2 MiB offset)
- D-Bus system bus: absolute /usr/bin/dbus-daemon path (was skipped)
- redbear-sessiond: absolute /usr/bin/redbear-sessiond path (was skipped)
- daemon framework: silenced spurious INIT_NOTIFY warnings for oneshot_async services (P0-daemon-silence-init-notify.patch)
- udev-shim: demoted INIT_NOTIFY warning to INFO (expected for oneshot_async)
- relibc: comprehensive named semaphores (sem_open/close/unlink) replacing upstream todo!() stubs
- greeterd: Wayland socket timeout 15s → 30s (compositor DRM wait)
- greeter-ui: built and linked (header guard unification, sem_compat stubs removed)
- mc: un-ignored in both configs, fixed glib/libiconv/pcre2 transitive deps
- greeter config: removed stale keymapd dependency from display/greeter services
- prefix toolchain: relibc headers synced, _RELIBC_STDLIB_H guard unified

Unfixable (diagnosed, upstream):
- i2c-hidd: abort on no-I2C-hardware (QEMU) — process::exit → relibc abort
- kded6/greeter-ui: page fault 0x8 — Qt library null deref
- Thread panics fd != -1 — Rust std library on Redox
- DHCP timeout / eth0 MAC — QEMU user-mode networking
- hwrngd/thermald — no hardware RNG/thermal in VM
- live preload allocation — BIOS memory fragmentation, continues on demand

==============================================================================
Middle button emulation
==============================================================================
Middle button emulation provides users with the ability to generate a middle
click even when the device does not have a physical middle button available.
When middle button emulation is enabled, a simultaneous press of the left
and right button generates a middle mouse button event. Releasing the
buttons generates a middle mouse button release, the left and right button
events are discarded otherwise.
The middle button release event may be generated when either button is
released, or when both buttons have been released. The exact behavior is
device-dependent, libinput will implement the behavior that is most
appropriate to the physical device.
The middle button emulation behavior when combined with other device
buttons, including a physical middle button is device-dependent.
For example, :ref:`clickpad_softbuttons` provides a middle button area when
middle button emulation is disabled. That middle button area disappears
when middle button emulation is enabled - a middle click can then only be
triggered by a simultaneous left + right click.
Some devices provide middle mouse button emulation but do not allow
enabling/disabling that emulation. Likewise, some devices may allow middle
button emulation but have it disabled by default. This is the case for most
mouse-like devices where a middle button is detected.
libinput provides **libinput_device_config_middle_emulation_set_enabled()** to
enable or disable middle button emulation. See :ref:`faq_configure_wayland`
and :ref:`faq_configure_xorg` for info on how to enable or disable middle
button emulation in the Wayland compositor or the X stack.
