This pull request changes some projects for the first time in this development cycle.
Therefore the following files need a version increment:

org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/pom.xml

An additional commit containing all the necessary changes was pushed to the top of this PR's branch. To obtain these changes (for example if you want to push more changes) either fetch from your fork or apply the git patch.

The build failed with a comparator error for the doc-bundle:
Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-p2-plugin:5.0.0-SNAPSHOT:p2-metadata-default (default-p2-metadata-default) on project org.eclipse.pde.doc.user: baseline and build artifacts have same version but different contents.

As the forceQualifierUpdate has to be cleaned up as part of the release preparation anyways, I have just added a corresponding commit for that:

• Preparation work for 4.38 (2025-12) and open master for development eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3264

In the next release the clean-up should be automated too and happen immediately.
