Description
if "APM Planner.ini.lock" for some reason is left (like after a crash/shutdown)
- then APM planner will be stuck at splashcreen "forever" - until the file is deleted.
maybe display a hint about it, or better - ask for ok to delete the file.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the startup path that handles "APM Planner.ini.lock" and leads to the splash screen. Reproduce the stuck state with a leftover lockfile, then determine whether completion means showing a hint or requesting confirmation before deleting it.
