If the gantry can survive a momentary out-of-square then you may find
that nothing special needs to be done. Simply give the same homing
sequence number to each side.

The problem here is that when one side id searching for the latch the
other side might be backing off prior to searching for the latch, so
the two sides might end up moving in opposite directions.

I have wondered if the homing behaviour should be to not move any
joint on to the next homing stage until all joints with the same
homing sequence number have completed the prior stage, but then it
gets a bit more complicated if you need to consider questions like
whether the first joint to find the limit should continue in the same
direction or should stop. (I think perhaps the answer is "stop" but
then it is changing state without waiting, and my simple scenario no
longer holds.

If you simply use the existing home behaviour with a shared sequence
number then the gantry will only actually be squared at the end of the
final home move. Up to that point the out-of-square might even be
worse. You certainly want the final move from latch to home position
to be as short as possible.
