   ## 2024-07-29 John Allison (intercoms-V11-02-07)
  - G4UImanager::ApplyCommand:
    - Replace `isMaster` by `G4Threading::IsMasterThread()`.
      - This controls highlighting of echoed commands in the Qt GUI.
      - This was a misunderstanding. I thought `isMaster` referred to the thread.
        It looks like it refers to a type of run manager. Luckily for MT mode,
        `isMaster` is true, but for Serial mode, it is false, so highlighting did
        not work for Serial mode. This was an oversight on my part - I should have
        tested Serial mode when I introduced highlighting in January and February
        2020 (intercoms-V10-07-01 and 2).
