# Description

This PR adds stricter interpretation rules to value specified in
sb3_ppo_cfg.yaml, disallowing eval on any dict, which my contain
arbitrary code that makes program vulnerable.

Now, `eval` is got rid of, only str that start with `nn.` can be used to
only import the module from torch.nn. That seems to cover all usage for
lab so far, I can make more accommodations if there are more cases but
it seems like it is currently sufficient.

# Description

This PR fixes a bug in the observation space construction for
non-concatenated groups in `ManagerBasedRLEnv._configure_gym_env_spaces`
method. Previously, only the last term in each group was included in the
Dict, causing loss of observation information. Now, all terms are
correctly added to the group Dict.

Fixes #3133

# Description

Fix the logic in `joint_effort_out_of_limit()`; this function aims to
detect effort limit violations by comparing the desired (computed)
effort against the applied effort, noting that the simulator clips
applied torque to the limit assign on creation.

Originally, the logic was written such that if the applied and computed
torques are equal, then a violation has occurred. However, this is wrong
as shown by the below example:

```python
from isaaclab.managers import SceneEntityCfg
from isaaclab.envs.mdp.terminations import joint_effort_out_of_limit

env = ...  # any ManagerBasedRLEnv with an Articulation named "robot"
cfg = SceneEntityCfg(name="robot", joint_ids=[0])  # single joint for clarity
art = env.scene["robot"]

# Case A: no clipping (should be False but returns True now)
art.data.computed_torque[:] = 0.0
art.data.applied_torque[:] = 0.0
assert joint_effort_out_of_limit(env, cfg).item() is False  # CURRENT: True (bug)

# Case B: clipping (should be True but returns False now)
art.data.computed_torque[:] = 100.0
art.data.applied_torque[:] = 50.0  # pretend actuator clipped to ±50
assert joint_effort_out_of_limit(env, cfg).item() is True   # CURRENT: False (bug)

```

The solution is hence simply to flip the limit detection logic.

Fixes #3155

For some simple cases, disabling rate limit in the runloop can help
improve performance in headless mode.
Follow PR to https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab/pull/3089, which only
updated it for rendering headless app.
However, this also impacts non-rendering workflows, so adding it to the
default headless app as well.

# Description

While working on a task I made a tiny typo in the scale randomization
range for the stiffness-gain parameter. The robot still spawned, but its
behaviour was utterly bizarre. It only took a minute to spot the
mistake, yet it made me realize we have no guard-rails for this sort of
edge case.

This PR introduces a lightweight check that verifies, when
operation=="scale", the lower bound is non-negative and the upper bound
is not smaller than the lower one. Right now I cover the most common
parameters (stiffness, damping, mass, tendon gains, etc.), basically
anything that must stay positive to make physical sense.

If you’d like the same safeguard applied to other parameter types just
let me know and I’ll happily extend the patch.

Fixes Termination Manager logging to report aggregated percentage of environments done due to each term.  (#3107)

# Description

Currently Termination Manager write current step's done count for each
term if reset is detected. This leads to two problem.
1. User sees different counts just by varying num_envs
2. the count can be over-count or under-count depending on when reset
happens, as pointed out in #2977 (Thanks, @Kyu3224)

The cause of the bug is because we are reporting current step status
into a buffer that suppose to record episodic done. So instead of write
the entire buffer base on current value, we ask the update to respect
the non-reseting environment's old value, and instead of reporting
count, we report percentage of environment that was done due to the
particular term.

Test on Isaac-Velocity-Rough-Anymal-C-v0

Before fix:
<img width="786" height="323" alt="Screenshot from 2025-08-06 22-16-20"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4838d612-7f0e-4232-a07e-688b547e91db"
/>
Red: num_envs = 4096, Orange: num_envs = 1024

After fix:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e6e55c21-17ed-42ca-8d94-a19d08611f86"
/>
Red: num_envs = 4096, Orange: num_envs = 1024

Note that curve of the same color ran on same seed, and curves matched
exactly, the only difference is the data gets reported in termination.
The percentage version is a lot more clear in conveying how agent
currently fails, and how much percentage of agent fails, and shows that
increasing num_envs to 4096 helps improve agent avoiding termination by
`base_contact` much quicker than num_envs=1024. Such message is a bit
hard to tell in first image.

# Description

Current is_isaacsim_version_4_5() sometimes mis-detects 5.0 when running
4.5 (e.g., Docker/symlinked installs), causing the conda bootstrap to
pick Python 3.11 instead of 3.10.

This pr ensures determining the isaacsim version following below steps

1. Read ${ISAACLAB_PATH}/_isaac_sim/VERSION (symlink/binary install).

2. If unknown, import isaacsim and read ../../VERSION next to the
package. (pip installation)

3. If still unknown, fall back to
importlib.metadata.version("isaacsim").

I tested locally to work with 4.5 pip or binary install.

# Bugfix

Previously, self._data.joint_dynamic_friction_coeff was being set for
all environments, regardless of the intended targets. This behavior is
incorrect — the friction coefficient should only be set for the
specified physx_env_ids.

# Description
This adds improved readout from the subprocesses in `install_deps.py`.
It will now print the output instead of printing everything at once when
the process is finished. It also has improved error handling. This will
help users to have a better understanding of their build process and
more easily resolve issues.

# Description

Updates the release notes docs with the latest release notes for 2.2 and
some other minor documentation updates.
Also fixes new issues with the license checker to add additional
exceptions.

Also using this change to trigger the documentation update for 2.2.

# Description

1. Changed test reporter for compatibility pipeline to generate HTML
report
2. Increased the number of reported logs for failed test cases to 50
(max)
3. Set execute permissions in the Dockerfile on the isaaclab.sh -
sometimes the post-merge pipeline fails due to permissions
4. Updated the default Isaac SIM version

# Description
It appears that `isaaclab` transitively depends on `hf-xet`, (a
`huggingface`-developed data storage paradigm) via the following
dependency chain:
```
Collecting hf-xet<2.0.0,>=1.1.3 (from huggingface-hub<1.0,>=0.34.0->transformers->isaaclab==0.41.5)
```
This results in a failing license check. This PR adds the relevant
license from this [repo](https://github.com/huggingface/xet-core)

**UPDATE:** I have also added the initialization of `FAILED_PACKAGES=0`
in `license-check.yaml` in order to avoid the error I was encountering
when no packages were failing:

# Description

Updates onnx and protobuf versions as previous dependency versions had
security vulnerabilities.

To avoid onnx 1.16.1, we are updating onnx to 1.18.0
To avoid protobuf 3.20.3, we are updating protobuf to 6.31.1

Also included some minor updates to add one more flaky test annotation
for test failure, and adding random_state to GaussianProcessRegressor to
resolve another security risk for non-reproducible results.

# Description

As reported in https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab/pull/3071, we have
some issues with the isaaclab.bat script when multiple calls to
`!python_exe!` are called, resulting in ` '!python_exe!' is not
recognized as an internal or external command` error messages. This fix
uses `call` command to expand `!python_exe!` to and correctly execute
the commands.

# Description

Adds the flaky module to allow for marking some non-deterministic tests
as flaky. This allows us to specify number of retries for specific test
cases and how many passes are needed to determine the test is marked as
pass or fail.

1. Force sensing: Add observations for force experienced by the
end-effector.
2. Excessive force penalty: Add an option to penalize the agent for
excessive contact forces.
3. Dynamics randomization: Randomize controller gains, asset properties
(friction, mass), and dead-zone.
4. Success prediction: Add an extra action that predicts task success.
