# Description

When cameras are enabled, a default render product always gets created
for the viewport, which brings additional overhead for rendering the
viewport at each step. However, when running in headless mode, we may
not need to render the viewport if we are not recording or
livestreaming.

This change disables viewport rendering in the headless cases where
recording and livestreaming are not required.

# Description

When configclass dicts are nested inside lists, the list is treated as
an Iterable object and assigned directly to the outer configclass when
updating configclass data with dicts. This overwrites the configclass
object in the list with a dict object and causes undesired behavior.

This change checks for nested dictionaries inside Iterables and updates
the values inside the dictionary individually without overwiting the
full Iterable.

# Description

This MR adds deformable object API to assets in the core framework. The
class creates two physics views: one for the deformable object and the
other one for the deformable material. Based on these, the users can set
and get different nodal information from the solver, as well as
randomize deformable material properties.

The MR also adds some basic tests and a script in the tutorial that
showcases the deformable object.

In the verification step for Isaac Sim installed from binaries, if I set
the `ISAACSIM_PYTHON_EXE` variable as specified and print it, there are
extra quotes, so the later steps don't work.

# Description

The goal of this PR is to introduce expanded functionality to
observation corruption/realism. This is done by introducing the concept
of configurable modifiers. This creates an architecture that can apply a
list of custom modifiers to observation data giving flexibility to order
of operations. Existing modifiers for clip, scale, bias, and noise can
be used. This does so without changing the current functionality. This
PR also includes two new modifiers that are stateful (i.e. output is
dependent on previous state) that utilize a Callable class. They are a
`DigitalFilter` and an `Integrator`.

Summary of Additions:
- Adds `ModifierCfg` and `Modifier`
- Adds example modifiers functions for bias, scale, clip, noise
- Adds example modifiers classes: DigitalFilter, Integrator
- Adds functionality to `ObservationManager` to prepare and handle
modifiers of observation data
- Adds unit tests for modifiers in test_modifiers.py
- Adds test to test_observation_manager.py to test integration with
modifiers

# Description

Currently, for multiple runs, the code is pushed to the same location on
the cluster. When the runs are not directly started (i.e.,
are in the queue), the code will be replaced each time a new job is
submitted. This PR creates a new copy of the code for each job to ensure
that the intended version is used for the submitted job.

# Description

Noticed that we were checking for function arguments inside a for-loop,
which isn't necessary. Moved this check outside to make it simpler to
read the code.

Also noticed a small corner case in the event manager when reset is
called and `env_ids` is None. In that case, it would bypass the check
for min steps between reset and directly apply the term to the
environment. I am not sure if that was intentional. if so, I can revert
the behavior.

This PR replicates the capabilities of `container.sh` in Python, and
breaks its capabilities up into several files under a new directory
`/docker/isaaclab_container_utils`, as well as a superior interface in
`container.py`. The intention of this change is to make our
container-mediating code more easily readable, debuggable, and
modifiable. It is also done in the hopes that it can be more easily
distributed as we see a desire from users to [compose and modify our
setup](https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab/pull/455). It also has the
additional benefit of needing fewer sudo installs because of Python's
native yaml handling.

The central class, `IsaacLabContainerInterface`, contains a lot of the
original utility of the script, and several of the current
`container.py` scripts options simply configure it and call a method.
@pascal-roth `apptainer_utils.py` and the `./container.py job/push`
logic are separated out, I'm curious what you think of this delineation.
I also haven't been able to fully test that end of things as I don't
have a cluster to use, though I did verify that it worked to the extent
I could.

I will update the docs when I have received approval

# Description

Before setting up the device was tedious and redundant, and you would
see code like:

```python
sim_utils.SimulationCfg(device="cpu", use_gpu_pipeline=False, dt=0.01, physx=sim_utils.PhysxCfg(use_gpu=False))
```

With this MR, we simply set the desired device, and all the parameters,
such as `use_gpu_pipeline` and `use_gpu` propagate automatically,
resulting in the following:

 ```python
sim_utils.SimulationCfg(device="cpu", dt=0.01,
physx=sim_utils.PhysxCfg())
```

The command line input `--cpu` has been removed in favor of `--device device_name`, where valid options for `device_name` are `cpu` (run on CPU), `cuda` (run on GPU with device id 0), or `cuda:N` (run on GPU with device id N, for example `cuda:0`).

# Description

Previously, the observation manager rigidly tried concatenating all the
terms along the last dimension at construction. However, when one has
hybrid-dimensional terms inside the observation group, this operation
would fail, leading to an error. In principle, the concatenation should
only happen when users set the attribute `concatenate_terms` to True
inside the group settings.

This MR lifts the above operation and adds a proper error when users try
to concatenate observation terms of different shapes. They must set the
concatenation flag to False if they want a "hybrid" observation group.

https://github.com/isaac-orbit/IsaacLab/pull/524, only rebased onto new
main and with changes to work with Isaac Lab.

Copied from other PR:
Modifies container.sh and x11.yaml to automatically check if a
tmp.***.xauth file has a stale MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, and refreshes it if
so.

In the instance where an xsession ends after a `tmp.***.xauth` file has
been created, but the system is not rebooted (thus deleting
`tmp.***.xauth`) then attempting to use the container causes errors.

This is a feature to correct for this upon `container.sh enter` by:
1. Mounting an entire `/tmp` subdirectory so that we can swap files
2. Checking for stale cookies by comparing against the current user's
cookie
3. If stale, replacing the old `tmp.***.xauth` with a new
`tmp.***.xauth` of the same name but a new cookie, in order to preserve
functionality of envars.

# Description

Since we override a lot of the functions from RigidObject inside the
Articulation class, we don't need to rely on inheritance anymore.
Duplicacy in the code makes it easier to understand the two classes'
functionalities without severely added overhead from the maintenance
side. Moreover, conceptually, it can be motivated that the two are
independent concepts.

This MR decouples the rigid object and articulation concepts in the
framework.

# Description

Add a cli argument `--extension` to run only unit tests for a selected
extension. As an example:

```bash
isaaclab -t --extension omni.isaac.lab_assets # Only runs tests under omni.isaac.lab_assets
```

Fixes #752

# Description

Earlier the README had hard-coded values for "passing" of pre-commit and
docs. This changes it to use the GitHub actions instead.

# Description

There was a slight inconsistency-- we called `unitree_a1`,
`unitree_go1`, and at the same time `h1` and `g1`. This MR fixes this
inconsistency and adds some more docs.

# Description

The caching of terrains with the terrain generator did not work as
expected even when the curriculum was enabled (which should have yielded the
same terrain every time). On deeper investigation, it appears that the
terrain generator samples a range when using the curriculum to avoid having
the same sub-terrain in columns of the same terrain type. Thus, the
terrain `difficulty` was stochastic between runs, which affected the
caching of the terrain.

This MR fixes the following:

- Adds documentation of the above behavior
- Modifies the generator to use `np.random.Generator` (RNG) instead of
setting the seed globally
- Adds a warning if the user wants to cache the terrain and the seed is
not set
- Adds tests to check caching works for the terrain generator with and
without curriculum

Note: Right now, complete determinism (i.e., the same terrain is generated)
is only possible when seed is set and caching is enabled. If caching is
disabled, it is possible that the terrain may have small differences. To
fix this, the RNG needs to be propagated to all the generation functions
as well. I leave that as a future TODO.

# Description

This MR adds docstrings in articulation and rigid object data to clarify
the exact frames they are reported in. This was previously causing
confusion as PhysX reports the transforms in actor frame and velocities
in CoM frame. Right now, there is no mechanism to get all this data in
the same frame, so the best we can do is document behavior.

# Description

This MR renames the action term names inside the manager-based
lift-manipulation task. Earlier, they were called
``body_joint_pos`` and ``gripper_joint_pos``. This made it confusing
since they were also being set to IK instead of joint position action
terms. Now, they are called ``arm_action`` and ``gripper_action``.

This makes it consistent with other manipulation tasks.

# Description

Previously, we used finite differencing to compute rigid body
accelerations. Since Isaac Sim 4.0, we can obtain the accelerations
directly from PhysX. This MR removes the need for finite differencing.
