📄 Description

PR Title: Feature: Dual-Window Telemetry Monitor (Process Separation) for Races.

Description

--This PR introduces a Dual-Window Telemetry Monitor, a professional-grade feature allowing users to analyze live telemetry data in a dedicated second window while watching the race replay.
---To solve performance issues associated with rendering multiple windows in a single Python thread (OpenGL context switching conflicts), this implementation uses Process Separation. The Telemetry Monitor runs as a completely independent operating system process, synchronized with the main replay via a local UDP socket connection.

Key Changes

Architecture & Core Logic

--Process Separation: Implemented a Master-Slave architecture. The Main Window ("Master") and Telemetry Window ("Slave") run in separate processes to maximize performance and prevent "Not Responding" freezes.
--Socket Sync (src/lib/sync.py): Added a custom TelemetrySender and TelemetryListener.
--Master: Broadcasts the current frame_index and selected_driver 60 times per second.
--Slave: Listens for packets and instantly updates its graph cursor to match the replay time.

New Interface: Telemetry Window

--New File: src/interfaces/telemetry_window.py
--Visuals: Renders high-contrast Speed, Gear, and Input (Throttle/Brake) graphs matching the app's dark theme.

Logic:

--Uses Time-Based (Frame) Axis instead of Distance to prevent graphs from "flatlining" or disappearing when cars are stationary (pit stops, grid starts).
--Pre-calculated Caching: Telemetry arrays are computed on selection for instant zero-lag rendering.

Main Window Integration (src/interfaces/race_replay.py)

--Broadcasting: Integrated the TelemetrySender into the main game loop (on_update).
--Interaction: Clicking a driver on the Leaderboard now triggers a network message, causing the Telemetry Window to instantly switch to that driver's data.

Launcher Logic (main.py)

--Recursive Spawning: Added logic to detect a --monitor flag.
--If detected, the script uses subprocess.Popen to launch a second instance of itself with the --telemetry-child flag.
--The child process initializes only the Telemetry Window.
--The parent process initializes the standard Race Replay.

GUI Updates (src/gui/race_selection.py)

User Option: Added a checkbox "Enable Telemetry Monitor (Dual Window)" to the session selection panel.
Command Generation: Ticking this box appends the --monitor argument to the launch command.

6.How to Launch:

--Run python main.py.
--Select your desired Year, Round, and Session (e.g., "Race").
--Check the box: "Enable Telemetry Monitor (Dual Window)".
--Click the Session button (e.g., "Race"). Two windows will appear.

ONLY FOR RACES. IT WILL TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO TO LOAD
