The motion service now rejects all planning requests (Move, MoveOnGlobe, MoveOnMap, etc.) when the machine's frame system has parts that are not connected to the world frame. Previously, orphaned frames were silently ignored, which could lead to collisions. This PR documents the new error so users can diagnose and fix it.

Source changes

Docs changes

  • docs/motion-planning/how-planning-works.md: Added "Frames are not linked to the world frame" as item 1 in the "When planning fails" list, with explanation and fix guidance.
  • docs/motion-planning/debug-motion-with-cli.md: Added a new troubleshooting section for the specific error message, with steps to identify and fix unlinked frame parents.

How I found these

  • Xref lookup: flows.md lists motion planning behavioral paths; maintenance.md staleness table maps rdk/services/motion/ changes to motion planning docs.
  • Grep matches: searched for "frame system", "world frame", "disconnected", "orphan", "unlinked" across all docs. Found 62 pages referencing frame system, narrowed to the two most relevant for documenting this new error condition.

The motion service now rejects planning when frames are not all
connected to the world frame (rdk#6240). Document the new error
in the "When planning fails" list and add a troubleshooting section
to the CLI debugging guide.
