# 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
case to respect the TODO note assigned to it.

# 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 *
(cfg.rail_height_range[1] - cfg.rail_height_range[0])`

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.

# Description
This PR optimizes the Pink IK controller solver by changing the qpsolver
to use **daqp**, and also optimizing the matrix pseudo inverse in Null
Space Posture Task. This achieves a **2x performance improvement** by
reducing runtime from 1.23 ms to 0.52 ms.

Perf experiments documented in third page here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E9UiYUU-oCOIetUkqAIva8oK0NvdNkMeqP2gxmeqxNA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.snu74q2v857w

## Key Changes

1. **Optimized Pseudoinverse Computation**: Replaced `np.linalg.pinv()`
with a custom implementation using direct LAPACK/BLAS calls in the null
space projector calculation. The new approach uses Cholesky
factorization (`dpotrf`) and triangular solvers (`dpotrs`) for faster
computation.

2. **QP Solver Update**: Changed the Pink IK solver from `osqp` to
`daqp` for improved performance.

3. **New Dependency**: Added `daqp==0.7.2` to `setup.py` for Linux
platforms.

# Description

pre-commit CI runs have been failing (see
[example](https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab/actions/runs/19017065661/job/54306430424))
due to an incompatibility between our specified flake version and python
3.14, as python3.14 has started to be installed by the setup-python GHA.
This PR pins python to 3.12 in order to fix these failures.

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

# Description

This PR fixes an issue in recurrent policy evaluation where the
recurrent state was not being reset after an episode termination. The
missing reset caused residual memory to persist between episodes. The
fix ensures that `reset()` is now called during evaluation in `play.py`
for policy networks, including recurrent.

Fixes #3837  <!-- replace with actual issue number -->

# Description

The [template
generator](https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/overview/developer-guide/template.html)
is involved when project / task is created using ```./isaaclab.sh -n
[Project Name]```. Inside the ```source``` directory in
```config/extension.toml``` file there is a provision to add custom apt
or ros_ws dependency as mentioned
[here](https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/overview/developer-guide/development.html#custom-extension-dependency-management)
which is current failing.

The problem is result of a typo in the template generator extension
config file which is current ```[isaaclab_settings]``` and should be
```[isaac_lab_settings]``` instead. The file is located at:
```
IsaacLab/tools/template/templates/extension/config/extension.toml
```

Fixes #3196

Current manager-based workflow leveraged recorder_manager to store demo
obs and actions to hdf5 file.
- But it only outputs successful demos and accumulates the demo index
- Not supporting customized demo index (the use case is like: replay an
existing hdf5, and store successful demos while keeping its original
demo index)

The modification in this PR:
- keeps original function, but extends to store demo with specific demo
index

# Description

We were incorrectly converting all numpy array data in the TiledCamera
class into uint8 type warp arrays when simulation device is set to CPU.
Some annotations like depth are float32 while segmentation data is
uint32. The correct behavior should convert to warp arrays depending on
the input data type of the numpy array.

Additionally, rlgames configs were set to cuda device by default but
were not being overridden when users specify the simulation device to
CPU through cmdline. We should propagate the device setting to the
rlgames configs so that we can run training on the same device, similar
to how RSL RL is set up.

Fixes #3526

There were some recent updates to a couple of our dependency packages
that have updated their licenses. Updating our license checker
exceptions to match with the new updated licenses for these packages.

Additionally, adds a note in the simulation performance documentation
for CPU governor setting to improve performance.

Also, updates a few unit tests to mark as flaky as we've shown in recent
CI runs.

# Description

To convert cuda version from a string to a float, I update the function
to handle cases with multiple points, e.g. string '12.8.9' will be

failure conversion.

# Description

We have been supporting both pickle and yaml storing for configuration.
However, pickle has some security vulnerabilities and we have been
preferring the use of yaml in most cases. Thus, we are removing the
pickle utilities for saving and loading configs.

For more info on pickle: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html


## Type of change

- Breaking change (existing functionality will not work without user

# Description

When seed was added to the benchmark_non_rl.py script, it was mistakenly
trying to read from simulation config, which doesn't exist. We can set
seed directly from the cli arguments since it's ok to be None if it's
not specified.

# Description

This PR fixes the sb3_ppo_cfg for task Isaac-Ant-v0

the parameter before had 4096 num_envs + horizon 512 + batch size 128 +
n_epoch 20,
that means the training one cycle it needs to for loop (20 * 512 * 4096)
/ 128 = 327680 times!

which appears as if it is hanging forever

the new config matches more closely with that of rl_games.

I verified it will trains under 5 min
