The Cuckoo Escapement: field report, kernel patch, dashboard

What the Raspberry Pi time-server guides get wrong on a Pi 4, with the
measurements. The headline artifact is a four-line pps-gpio patch: PREEMPT_RT
force-threads IRQ handlers, and pps-gpio takes its timestamp inside its handler,
so the realtime kernel puts a scheduler between the electrical edge and the
clock. IRQF_NO_THREAD takes RMS offset from 2468 ns to 199 ns.

- kernel/     the patch
- dashboard/  live status page (position hidden by default)
- docs-site/  the write-up (Astro/Starlight, brass, no tutorial section)
