# Description

This PR adds support for providing a custom `ProgressReporter` while
doing hyperparameter tuning with Ray Integration.

Without the PR, the Ray integration defaults to the standard
`CLIReporter`, which often displays metrics that aren’t particularly
relevant or at the desired frequency. Similar to how we allow users to
specify a --cfg_class (e.g., `CartpoleTheiaJobCfg`), this PR lets them
optionally provide a custom `ProgressReporter` class. If such is not
provided, it falls back to the default.

Moreover, I have added an example inside `vision_cartpole_cfg.py` (i.e.,
`CustomCartpoleProgressReporter`).

One point to highlight is that the new "[context-aware progress
reporting](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues/36949)" conflicts
with custom `ProgressReporter`, so if a custom `ProgressReporter` is
provided, the PR disables the context-aware progress reporting.

Fixes #3268.

# Description
This MR does the following:

- Introduces Quest retargeters for G1 env loco-manipulation tasks. This
enables lower body control via the quest controller joysticks, and upper
body control via controller tracking.
- Refactors the retargeters to *not* depend on OpenXRDevice, instead
move enums into DeviceBase and allow retargeters to be used across
devices.
- Adds XrAnchor "pinning" to a specific robot prim so that the XR view
follows the robot in the scene.

# Description

Currently, `.dockerignore` does not include `env_isaaclab` nor
`**/wandb/*` in the files to be ignored, which should be ignored for
cluster deployment since a) all Python packages are already part of the
docker image (if `env_isaaclab` is not included in `.dockerignore`, it
rsyncs over a 24GB dir), and b) local wandb logs should be ignored. This
PR adds `env_isaaclab` and `**/wandb/*` to `.dockerignore`.

# Description
This PR breaks the actuator config into separate files in order to avoid
a circular import which arises once the configuration is imported into
the actuator base class for more than type hinting.


## Type of change
- Possible breaking change! The actuator configs have moved `.py` files
and thus modules. They can still be imported directly from the
`isaaclab.actuators` package. External references to these classes
through the `actuator_cfg` module will not longer work. Instead, import
directly from the `isaaclab.actuators` package.

# Description

This PR introduces support for early stopping in Ray integration through
the `Stopper` class. It enables trials to end sooner when they are
unlikely to yield useful results, reducing wasted compute time and
speeding up experimentation.

Previously, when running hyperparameter tuning with Ray integration, all
trials would continue until the training configuration’s maximum
iterations were reached, even if a trial was clearly underperforming.
This wasn’t always efficient, since poor-performing trials could often
be identified early on. With this PR, an optional early stopping
mechanism is introduced, allowing Ray to terminate unpromising trials
sooner and improve the overall efficiency of hyperparameter tuning.

The PR also includes a `CartpoleEarlyStopper` example in
`vision_cartpole_cfg.py`. This serves as a reference implementation that
halts a trial if the `out_of_bounds` metric doesn’t reduce after a set
number of iterations. It’s meant as a usage example: users are
encouraged to create their own custom stoppers tailored to their
specific use cases.

Fixes #3270.

# Description

Changes from `omni.log` to an own python logger for IsaacLab. The
logging information are formatted as follows:

```
14:09:39 [manager_based_env.py] WARNING: The render interval (1) is smaller than the decimation (2). Multiple render calls will happen for each environment step. If this is not intended, set the render interval to be equal to the decimation.
```

All logs are saved to a temp file. Carb initialized a logging handler:

```
<_CarbLogHandler <stderr> (NOTSET)>
```

which is removed when configuring our handler.

# Description

The comment over the test case justifies why the testcase needs to be
commented out for now. It requires handling of scaling of the prims to
correctly compute the groundtruth quaternion. This MR comments the test

# Description

We were incorrectly passing in the activate contact sensor boolean as
the threshold when setting up the contact sensor API, which caused the
sensor threshold to always be 1 when the sensor is activated. The
desired behavior should be defaulting to 0 threshold.

# Description

The rail mesh terrain created terrains from hardest to easiest due to a
bug in how difficulty was used. This PR fixes that bug.

Before:

`rail_height = cfg.rail_height_range[1] - difficulty *

After:

`rail_height = cfg.rail_height_range[0] + difficulty *

This PR fixes a bug in actuator initialization where effort limits
specified in USD assets were being incorrectly overridden with a very
large default value (1.0e9) for explicit actuator models.

Fixes # (issue)

Previously, the ActuatorBase initialization logic would unconditionally
fall back to _DEFAULT_MAX_EFFORT_SIM (1.0e9) for explicit actuator
models when effort_limit_sim was not explicitly set in the
configuration, even when the USD asset contained finite, meaningful
effort limit values.

Adds a new parameter to ManagerBasedEnv and DirectRLEnv to give users
better control over rerender on reset behaviour. The new parameter
`num_rerenders_on_reset` allows users to explicitly define the number of
re-render steps after an env reset. When using DLSS, this allows for the
elimination of artifacts/ghosting that are present after a single
rendering step.

Add a deprecation warning for the old parameter `rerender_on_reset`.
Functionality of old parameter is preserved.

Updates the existing visuomotor envs to use new rerendering API together
with DLAA for high quality rendering.

Fixes # (issue)

Non-DLSS denoising is not supported on aarch64. There are also future
plans from the rendering team to disable use of non-DLSS antialiasing
for all platforms in the future. This causes an issue for visuomotor
envs which suffer from image ghosting/artifacts when using DLSS. The new
rerendering API allows for users of visuomotor envs to enable DLSS/DLAA
while preserving image integrity.

# Description

This PR fixes the issue where get_done_term returned last episode value
rather than current step value.

This PR realizes values used for get_term should be different from that
used for logging, and mixed useage leads to non-intuitive behavior.

using per-step value for logging leads to overcounting and undercounting
reported in #2977
using last-episode value for get_term leads to misalignment with
expectation reported in #3720

Fixes #2977 #3720 

---

The logging behavior remains *mostly* the same as #3107, and and also
got rid of the weird overwriting behavior(yay).
I get exactly the same termination curve as #3107 when run on
`Isaac-Velocity-Rough-Anymal-C-v0`

Here is a benchmark summary with 1000 steps running
`Isaac-Velocity-Rough-Anymal-C-v0 ` with 4096 envs

Before #3107: 

`| termination.compute     |       0.229 ms|`
`| termination.reset       |       0.007 ms|`

PR #3107: 

`| termination.compute     |       0.274 ms|`
`| termination.reset       |       0.004 ms|`

This PR: 

`| termination.compute     |       0.258 ms|`
`| termination.reset       |       0.004 ms|`

We actually see improvement, this is due to the fact that expensive
maintenance of last_episode_value is only computed once per
compute(#3107 computes last_episode_value for every term)

# Description

When running Ray directly from tuner.py, Ray is not correctly
initialized within `invoke_tuning_run()`. The two problems associated
with this are discussed in #3532. To solve them, this PR:

1. Removes `ray_init()` from `util.get_gpu_node_resources()`. Now, ray
needs to be initialized before calling `util.get_gpu_node_resources()`.
This change actually reverses #3350, which was merged to add the missing
initialization when using `tuner.py`, but it is safer to explicitly
initialize Ray with the correct arguments outside of the
`util.get_gpu_node_resources()`.
2. Moves Ray initialization within `invoke_tuning_run()` to be before
`util.get_gpu_node_resources()` so we explicitly initialize it before
and do not raise an exception later.
3. Adds a warning when calling `ray_init()` if Ray was already
initialized.

Fixes #3532

# Description

Due to previous changes, the `rl_games` workflow's `log_root_path` is no
longer the absolute path if the pbt option is not used, causing further
issues. This PR fixes this by making it an absolute path again.

Fixes #3530 

## Type of change

- Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

## Screenshots

Before:

https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab/blob/3a0db9d761982dc65417e6c6d0714cec61ceadb3/scripts/reinforcement_learning/rl_games/train.py#L129-L135

After:
```
log_root_path = os.path.join("logs", "rl_games", config_name)
if "pbt" in agent_cfg and agent_cfg["pbt"]["directory"] != ".":
    log_root_path = os.path.join(agent_cfg["pbt"]["directory"], log_root_path)
else:
    log_root_path = os.path.abspath(log_root_path)
```

## Note

While this fixes the path to be absolute when pbt is not used, I am not
sure if

`log_root_path = os.path.join(agent_cfg["pbt"]["directory"],
log_root_path)`

is correct or absolute, as I do not use pbt. Should it not be something
like the following?

`log_root_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(log_root_path,
agent_cfg["pbt"]["directory"]))
`

I would appreciate any feedback on this.
