feat(so101_sim): add mock-hardware SO-101 config driven by a fake joint source

[griswaldbrooks]

Intent

Ship SO-101 demo phase one: a new src/so101_sim MoveIt Pro config whose digital twin of a stock LeRobot SO-101 arm moves in the MoveIt Pro UI, driven by a fake joint source. Mock hardware only. Explicitly NO MuJoCo anywhere in this config. Ships without a powered arm; execution to real hardware is out of scope this phase.

Maintainer decisions this build rests on:

• Arm variant: the STOCK LeRobot SO-101 (so101.urdf + coacd meshes, revolute gripper, LeRobot joint names), as in github.com/danwahl/vla-test sim/src/sim/description. Deliberately NOT the Norma parallel-gripper build from PR formatting #4 for URDF/meshes/joint names; that PR remains the source only for the MoveIt-layer files (SRDF, joint_limits, pose_ik, pose_jog, joint_jog, ros2_control yaml), with joints renamed to the LeRobot names.
• Arm bus plugs into the workstation over USB directly (no Raspberry Pi). Cameras are wrist and top; neither is used in this phase.
• Meshes taken from vla-test (repo-level Apache-2.0, upstream SO-ARM100/LeRobot names) with a NOTICE.md following the norma_pgripper pattern; meshes under Git LFS as this repo already does.

Deliverable: src/so101_sim as a standalone package on the factory_sim pattern (no based_on_package): package.xml, CMakeLists.txt, LICENSE, NOTICE.md, README.md (with a safe bring-up order and a plain statement that hardware execution is out of scope), thumbnail.png, config/config.yaml; description/so101.urdf.xacro with a hardware_interface: mock|real xacro arg following factory_sim/description/fanuc_lrmate200id.ros2_control.xacro, package:// mesh paths, no blocks, a world link; config/moveit/{so101.srdf,joint_limits.yaml,pose_ik.yaml,pose_jog.yaml,joint_jog.yaml} ported from Noah's PR with LeRobot joint names; config/control/so101.ros2_control.yaml with joint_state_broadcaster plus exactly ONE joint_trajectory_controller over all six joints and deliberately no GripperActionController, no JTAC/VFC/JVC; script/so101_arm_bridge.py with a --fake mode only (slow sine JointTrajectory on the JTC topic) and the real Feetech bus path left as a clearly named stub behind the same interface for phase two, with per-joint sign/offset calibration parameters declared now even though fake mode ignores them; launch/runtime.launch.xml launching the bridge in fake mode, no usb_cam nodes; objectives/{mirror_follower.xml (runnable, holds until stopped),close_gripper.xml,open_gripper.xml,move_so101_to_waypoint.xml} and waypoints/so101_waypoints.yaml, every objective carrying MetadataFields or CI fails.

Deliberate constraints, ruled in/out by the maintainer:

• No Dockerfile or docker-compose changes in this PR, and therefore usb_cam is deliberately NOT added to package.xml this phase. SUPERSEDED (see "Maintainer decision corrections" below): a later maintainer order authorized builds and the usb_cam dependency by name, so package.xml does declare <exec_depend>usb_cam</exec_depend> and the README documents it. No Dockerfile or docker-compose changes are included either way.
• Do not touch any other package: lab_sim, vla_sim, factory_sim are untouched.
• No camera nodes, no Trainer recording objectives, no Feetech/serial code beyond the stub; those are later phases.
• Both gripper Objectives exist because teleop looks up Objectives named exactly 'Close Gripper'/'Open Gripper'; without them the gripper silently fails (see AGENTS.md).
• The single joint_trajectory_controller over all six joints is intentional (a second controller claiming a joint's command interface would lock the first out); allow_partial_joints_goal is true for that reason, and the fake bridge yields to the controller via a heartbeat plus the follow_joint_trajectory action status so it does not fight action goals (documented in AGENTS.md by this branch).
• Jog configs (pose_jog/joint_jog) ship inert this phase since no VFC/JVC is loaded; that is expected, not an oversight.

Verification already performed live on this branch: the image was built under an isolated worktree image tag, the stack ran headless, the twin moves under the Mirror objective, the waypoint objective and both gripper objectives succeed, and 16 package tests pass. The SRDF collision matrix was derived by sampling 400 configurations. Tests included cover the bridge's fake mode and the name-mapping / degree-radian conversion helpers, assert-based with no new framework.

Known open item for the PR body: RecordEpisode(config_name=so101_sim) Trainer registration cannot be validated here because training configs are per-deployment Trainer JSON rather than workspace files; phase four must create one via the Trainer UI/REST or omit config_name. Phase two/three follow-ups: real Feetech bridge, udev rules, Dockerfile pip line, usb_cam plus rebuild, cameras, recording.

What Changed

• Adds src/so101_sim, a standalone MoveIt Pro config (no based_on_package) for a stock LeRobot SO-101 arm: so101.urdf.xacro with a hardware_interface: mock|real xacro arg, LFS-tracked upstream STL meshes with LICENSE/NOTICE.md attribution, MoveIt layer (so101.srdf with a collision matrix sampled over 400 configurations, joint_limits, pose_ik, pose_jog, joint_jog), waypoints, thumbnail, and a README covering bring-up order. Mock hardware only — no MuJoCo, and executing to a powered arm is out of scope for this phase.
• Ships config/control/so101.ros2_control.yaml with joint_state_broadcaster plus a single joint_trajectory_controller owning all six joints (gripper included) and allow_partial_joints_goal: true, deliberately no GripperActionController; script/so101_arm_bridge.py drives that controller in --fake mode with a slow sine, yielding to planned motion via a ~/mirror Trigger heartbeat and the follow_joint_trajectory action status, with the Feetech bus path left as a named stub and per-joint sign/offset calibration parameters already declared. runtime.launch.xml starts the bridge in fake mode; no camera nodes. Objectives mirror_follower, move_so101_to_waypoint, close_gripper, and open_gripper all carry MetadataFields, and test/test_so101_arm_bridge.py adds assert-based coverage of fake mode and the name-mapping / degree-radian helpers.
• Moves the assistant instructions from CLAUDE.md into AGENTS.md (imported back by CLAUDE.md), documenting worktree image tagging and the single-trajectory-controller contention rule; lists so101_sim in the top-level README.md config table. Other config packages are untouched and no Dockerfile/compose changes are included. usb_cam is declared as an exec_depend (authorized by a later maintainer order, superseding the original phase-one constraint), so the image resolves it on the next rebuild — which this PR forces anyway since src/ changed.

Known open items

• RecordEpisode(config_name=so101_sim) Trainer registration could not be validated here: training configs are per-deployment Trainer JSON rather than workspace files, so a later phase must create one via the Trainer UI/REST or omit config_name.
• Jog configs ship inert this phase since no velocity/jog controller is loaded. Follow-ups: real Feetech bridge, udev rules, Dockerfile pip line, usb_cam plus rebuild, cameras, and recording.

Maintainer decision corrections

The Intent section above is the verbatim task brief as submitted to the validation pipeline, and one of its constraints was superseded before the work was done. Recording the divergence explicitly because the review step flagged it on every round:

• usb_cam is declared, and that is correct. The original brief said usb_cam must not be added until phase three. A later maintainer order authorized image builds and the usb_cam dependency by name, so package.xml:29 declares it and the README documents it as installed. The intent text was stale, not the code; the review finding was ruled superseded and the lines were deliberately left untouched.

Carry-forward notes for phase two

• The real xacro branch has no <hardware> element. With hardware_interface: real, so101.urdf.xacro emits a <ros2_control> block of six <joint> elements and no hardware plugin, so controller_manager would fail on an empty plugin rather than saying the Feetech interface is unimplemented. Nothing reaches this today (config.yaml pins mock), but phase two should add a <xacro:if> that raises a clear message via ${xacro.error(...)}.
• Controller ownership is not atomic. CodeRabbit asked for the bridge's yield to be made atomic before publishing, plus a live integration test. Declined for phase one: this is the same best-effort yield-guard already ruled docs-only — the ~/mirror heartbeat is the primary guard, the follow_joint_trajectory action-status check is a best-effort second guard, and the README tells the operator to stop Mirror before planning. Making the hand-off atomic and covering it with an integration test is phase-two scope.
• Mirror restart after a pause still steps. The one-shot phase pin fixes the first-ever Mirror start (measured 0.0 rad jump). Restarting Mirror after a pause continues the sine from wall clock, so the twin steps from the pose it was holding to the current sine pose — e.g. run 6 s, stop, restart 3 s later gives a 1.28 rad wrist_roll step in one point. Harmless on mock hardware (it teleports) and the README tells the operator to stop Mirror before planning; the durable fix is seeding from /joint_states, which is out of scope this phase.

Risk Assessment

✅ Low: A self-contained new config package that touches no existing package's runtime behavior (only a verbatim CLAUDE.md-to-AGENTS.md move and a one-line README list entry); the sine/start-pose invariant now holds identically across all four artifacts by hand-checked arithmetic, the fake trajectory stays inside every URDF and joint_limits bound, the new regression test genuinely fails without its fix, and the pipeline fix rounds stayed strictly inside the prescribed scope while removing two pieces of unused dead flexibility.

Testing

Ran the package's 11 pytest cases in the MoveIt Pro runtime image (all pass), then brought the real stack up headless from this worktree and drove the product surfaces an operator would use: the twin sat still at the configured mock start pose, the Mirror SO101 Follower Objective moved all six joints over a full sine period with a measured 0.0 rad jump at start and stopped as soon as the Objective was cancelled, Move SO101 to Waypoint succeeded to Reach Forward and Home with reached joint values matching the waypoint file, and Open/Close Gripper each succeeded and moved the jaw (0.13 -> 1.50 -> 0.00 rad) with no missing-Objective placeholder error in the logs. The UI backend lists all four Objectives with their SO-101 category and runnable flags plus all five waypoints, SRDF home matches initial_positions and the Home waypoint, and nothing loads MuJoCo. Evidence captured as an animated GIF of the twin's live TF poses, a joint-state chart across every Objective phase, the raw CSV, and the run transcript; the MoveIt Pro operator UI is a separate Desktop App (the runtime only serves the REST/foxglove relay and no display or app binary is available here), so the twin was rendered from live TF rather than screenshotted from that app. Stack shut down and build artifacts removed; worktree is clean.

• 🚨 src/so101_sim/package.xml:29 - Intent conformance violation. The intent states as a maintainer decision: "No Dockerfile or docker-compose changes in this PR, and therefore usb_cam is deliberately NOT added to package.xml this phase; phase three adds it and needs a rebuild. This is noted in the README and belongs in the PR body." The diff does the opposite: package.xml:29 adds <exec_depend>usb_cam</exec_depend> (with the comment "declared now so the wrist and top USB cameras in phase three do not need another image rebuild"), and README.md:93-94 records the inverted note -- "usb_cam is already an exec_depend and is installed in the image" -- instead of the required "phase three adds it and needs a rebuild". This is not cosmetic: Dockerfile's base stage runs rosdep install -q -y --from-paths src --ignore-src over the whole workspace, so the new key makes the image resolve and install ros-<distro>-usb-cam, i.e. an image-content change in a PR the maintainer scoped to have none. No other package in this workspace declares usb_cam, and the repo README (line 3) states hardware-only dependencies are intentionally excluded. Resolving this is the author's call, not mine: either drop line 29 and rewrite README.md:93-94 to say usb_cam arrives in phase three and needs a rebuild, or get the maintainer to relax the stated constraint.
• ⚠️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:232 - The action-status "second guard" is best-effort, but README.md:25-27 states it as a guarantee ("the bridge also stays quiet while a follow_joint_trajectory goal is live, so an execution that starts anyway still wins"). publish_once gates on self.goal_active, which is only set once a GoalStatusArray has been received and dispatched by the node's executor. Concrete sequence: Mirror SO101 Follower is running, so mirroring() is true and the 50 Hz timer publishes every 20 ms. The user starts Move SO101 to Waypoint without stopping Mirror first; JTC accepts the goal and rcl_action publishes STATUS_ACCEPTED. For the ~1-5 ms it takes that message to reach the bridge's SingleThreadedExecutor, goal_active is still False, so the timer can fire once more and publish a one-point JointTrajectory on the controller's topic interface. That is exactly the failure this branch documents in AGENTS.md ("A node publishing on its topic interface restarts the trajectory on every message, so an action goal from a plan is accepted and then never converges -- or aborts on a path tolerance"): the goal's trajectory is replaced and the goal hangs until it aborts on goal_time: 3.0. The window is roughly 5-25% of the timer period, so a single successful manual run does not rule it out. The primary mechanism (stopping the Mirror Objective, which the objective descriptions and README both instruct) is sound; only the fallback claim is overstated. The smallest honest remedy either softens the README claim or adds an explicit exclusive-mode handshake (e.g. the move Objective clearing the mirror lease before planning) -- the latter is new machinery beyond this change's stated scope, so which one to take needs the author's decision, not mine.
• ℹ️ README.md:34 - The workspace README's "Robot Configs" list (lines 25-41) enumerates every config package including phoebe_sim and lunar_sim, but so101_sim is not added, so the new config is undiscoverable from the repo entry point. The intent's deliverable list does not mention the root README, so adding the line is a product-visible call for the author rather than something to silently apply.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/waypoints/so101_waypoints.yaml:27 - The Home waypoint's description says "Values are the mock hardware start state", and its five arm values do match config/initial_positions.yaml (0.0 / 0.6 / -0.6 / 0.0 / 0.0), but its gripper value is 0.5 while initial_positions.yaml:9 sets gripper to 0.7. Both are the author's chosen data, so either the value or the description is what should change -- planning to Home currently also closes the jaw slightly, which the description does not lead a user to expect.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:98 - order_like's wanted parameter is never passed by any caller: the only production call site is the phase-two comment at line 184, and both tests use the default. Dropping the parameter and using JOINT_NAMES directly removes the wanted = JOINT_NAMES if wanted is None else wanted line and one unexercised branch; the parameter can come back in phase two if the real bus path actually needs a second ordering.

🔧 Fix: fix so101_sim review findings: guard docs, Home gripper, order_like
3 infos still open:

• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/description/assets/LICENSE:200 - The vendored Apache-2.0 text is truncated: the file ends at line 200 with WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. and is missing the final two lines of the appendix boilerplate (See the License for the specific language governing permissions and / limitations under the License.). Every other Apache copy in this repo ends with limitations under the License. (e.g. src/factory_sim/models/LICENSE at 201 lines, src/external_dependencies/clearpath_mecanum_drive_controller/LICENSE at 202 lines — the latter shares this file's duplicated Version 2.0, January 2004 on line 3, so the duplicate is an upstream variant and only the tail is missing). This contradicts description/assets/NOTICE.md:7-8, which asserts the file is "the repository-level license of the source repository" — full-text license scanners fingerprint on the complete text. The operative grant (sections 1-9) is intact, so this is fidelity, not a broken grant. Remedy: re-copy the two missing lines from the upstream file.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:168 - self.start_time is fixed at node construction, but mirroring can begin arbitrarily later, so the twin does jump when mirroring starts — contradicting config/initial_positions.yaml:2 ("These match the center of the bridge's fake sine, so the twin does not jump when it starts"). Concrete sequence: the config comes up at t=0 with the mock hardware at FAKE_CENTER; the user runs Mirror SO101 Follower at t=3.0 s. read_positions() returns fake_positions(3.0, 12.0), whose wrist_roll term is 1.0 * sin(2*pi*3/12 + 4*0.7) = 1.0 * sin(4.37) = -0.94 rad — the very first published point commands wrist_roll 0.94 rad away from the twin's current 0.0, with time_from_start 0.04 s. The offset is bounded only by FAKE_AMPLITUDE (up to 1.0 rad on wrist_roll, 0.8 on shoulder_pan), and only shoulder_pan (phase 0) is at center at elapsed=0 anyway. Practically this is a fast slew on mock hardware (JTC interpolates and no velocity limits are enforced on the topic interface), so the consequence is a visible snap rather than a fault. Note the remedy, not the defect, needs authorization: making the claim true means resetting start_time (or phase) on the first ~/mirror tick after a quiet period, which is new behavior rather than a correction of what the code already does — the alternative is to reword the comment.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:125 - So101ArmBridge.__init__'s parameter_overrides argument is never passed by any caller: main() at line 259 constructs So101ArmBridge(source=args.source) and all four test call sites (test_so101_arm_bridge.py:133, 155, 196, 243) pass only source. It forwards None to Node.__init__ on every real invocation, which is that argument's own default. This is the same unexercised-flexibility pattern the maintainer already ruled out for order_like's wanted parameter in the prior round; dropping it and calling super().__init__("so101_arm_bridge") removes the last speculative knob, and it can come back in phase two if the Feetech path actually needs parameter injection under test.

🔧 Fix: reset sine phase on mirror start, restore LICENSE tail
6 issues (2 warnings, 4 infos) still open:

• ⚠️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:213 - The new if not self.mirroring(): self.start_time = now edge in on_mirror_tick fixes the first Mirror start but introduces a snap that did not exist before, on two reachable paths. (a) Restart: run Mirror SO101 Follower for ~3 s (wrist_roll reaches 1.0 rad, shoulder_pan 0.8 rad), stop the Objective, wait past mirror_timeout_s (1.0 s), start it again. mirroring() is False, so start_time resets and the very first published point is FAKE_CENTER — wrist_roll 0.0 — with time_from_start 0.04 s, i.e. a 25 rad/s implied slew from wherever the twin was left holding. Pre-fix the sine simply continued and the restart was smooth. (b) Mid-run hiccup: mirror_follower.xml ticks ~/mirror every 0.2 s against a 1.0 s timeout; a single BT stall longer than 1 s (planning-scene update, container load) makes mirroring() lapse, and the next tick resets the phase, snapping the running twin back to FAKE_CENTER instead of continuing. The reset is only correct when the twin actually sits at FAKE_CENTER, which is true on the first bring-up and false afterwards; moving to Reach Forward and then starting Mirror snaps as well. Note the remedy, not the defect, is what needs authorization: making the no-jump claim in config/initial_positions.yaml:2 hold in general means seeding the sine from the twin's current pose (a new /joint_states subscription and state), which extends the change; the minimal alternatives are to reset only on the first-ever mirroring session, or to narrow the claim to first bring-up.
• ⚠️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:125 - The fix round replaced the per-joint phase offset (+ i * 0.7) with a per-joint frequency multiplier (elapsed_s * (1.0 + 0.1 * i)). Removing the offsets is required for elapsed_s == 0 to equal FAKE_CENTER, but spreading the frequencies to 1.0/1.1/.../1.5 changes the motion's character: the six sines are only commensurate at 12 s x LCM(10..15)/10 ~= 72,000 s (20 h), so within any demo the trajectory is effectively quasi-periodic and sweeps the whole 6-D box [center-amp, center+amp], where the original traced one fixed closed curve. Concretely, at t=3 s all six joints are now near their simultaneous maxima (shoulder_lift 0.798, elbow_flex -0.838) — a corner the phase-offset version never reached (at shoulder_lift's peak it held elbow_flex at -0.79). That matters because the FAKE_AMPLITUDE comment at line 74-78 says these amplitudes were tuned to keep the twin out of the self-collision fold that makes MoveIt refuse to plan from the current state, and the intent's live verification was performed against the phase-offset sine, not this one. The only automated guard, test_fake_positions_stay_out_of_the_self_collision_fold, samples t in [0,12 s] and asserts per-joint sign bounds only, so it passes regardless of which joint combinations are reachable. Remedy needs authorization because it changes intended motion: either use small integer frequency multipliers (e.g. 1,2,3,...) so the curve closes at 12 s and the existing 241-sample envelope test actually covers the reachable set, or re-run the live check against the shipped sine.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/test/test_so101_arm_bridge.py:264 - test_mirroring_starts_the_sine_at_the_mock_start_state ages the node only 0.5 s before ticking, so an unreset sine would put shoulder_pan at 0.8sin(2pi*0.5/12) = 0.207 rad against an abs=0.1 tolerance — barely 2x margin in both directions. It also fails spuriously if the executor stalls more than ~0.2 s between the first tick_mirroring and the timer firing (wrist_roll then exceeds 0.1 rad from center on its own). Raising the ageing loop to ~3 s puts the unreset sine at its peak (0.8 rad on shoulder_pan, 0.808 on wrist_roll), giving ~8x discrimination and absorbing scheduling jitter, at the cost of 2.5 s of test time well inside the 60 s CMake TIMEOUT.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/description/so101.urdf.xacro:578 - With hardware_interface: real the xacro emits a <ros2_control> block containing six <joint> elements and no <hardware> element at all. controller_manager then fails on an empty hardware plugin rather than reporting that the phase-two Feetech interface is not implemented. Since config/config.yaml pins mock and the README says the real branch is an empty stub, nothing reaches this today; noting it so phase two does not debug a plugin-load error. A <xacro:if> on real that raises via ${xacro.error(...)} would fail with the intended message instead.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/objectives/move_so101_to_waypoint.xml:9 - All three Objectives that move the arm spell out controller_names, controller_action_server and execution_pipeline="jtc" on the core Move to Waypoint SubTree. moveit_pro core already ships Move to Waypoint (JTC), whose defaults are exactly those three values (/joint_trajectory_controller/follow_joint_trajectory, joint_trajectory_controller, jtc), so switching the SubTree ID would drop nine lines across move_so101_to_waypoint.xml, close_gripper.xml and open_gripper.xml with identical behavior. The explicit form is also defensible — it documents the coupling at the call site — so this is a tradeoff note, not a defect.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/package.xml:29 - For the record only: the intent states "usb_cam is deliberately NOT added to package.xml this phase", and package.xml:29 adds <exec_depend>usb_cam</exec_depend> (with README.md:96-97 documenting it). The prior fix round's maintainer instructions explicitly ruled this superseded by a later order and correct, and directed that these lines not be touched. Recording the divergence so the intent-vs-diff mismatch is visible in the PR body; no action requested.

🔧 Fix: restore closed-curve sine, pin phase once only
3 issues (1 warning, 2 infos) still open:

• ⚠️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:128 - The - math.sin(i * 0.7) term added by the fix round makes fake_positions(0) == FAKE_CENTER, but it does so by translating the entire commanded curve in joint space rather than re-phasing it. Per-joint shift = -amplitude * sin(i*0.7): shoulder_lift -0.129, elbow_flex -0.246, wrist_flex -0.302, wrist_roll -0.335, gripper +0.210 rad. Envelopes therefore move from the live-verified [center-amp, center+amp] to a different box: elbow_flex [-0.850,-0.350] -> [-1.096,-0.596], wrist_flex [-0.350,+0.350] -> [-0.652,+0.048], shoulder_lift [0.400,0.800] -> [0.271,0.671]. All six still fit the URDF limits (I checked analytically), but running forward kinematics over both curves, the gripper_frame tool path moves from z in [0.038,0.371] m / min base-axis radius 0.394 m to z in [0.203,0.478] m / min radius 0.260 m -- i.e. up to 0.16 m higher and 0.13 m closer to the base and the overhead camera post (top_camera_frame sits at z=0.550, x=0.034, y=0.116), which carries real collision geometry and is deliberately left enabled in so101.srdf. The intent's evidence for this motion being plannable is a live stack run against the untranslated curve; nothing in-repo can substitute, because the two automated guards only check per-joint URDF limits (test_so101_arm_bridge.py:81) and two per-joint sign bounds (test_so101_arm_bridge.py:105, threshold shoulder_lift > 0.1 against a new minimum of 0.271, versus 0.400 when the threshold was written) -- neither can see a joint-combination self-collision. Two comments now also misdescribe the shipped values: so101_arm_bridge.py:74-79 says the amplitudes are 'centered on an extended, arm-out pose' and initial_positions.yaml:1-2 says the values 'match the center of the bridge's fake sine'; FAKE_CENTER is now the t=0 start pose, and the actual envelope centers are e.g. elbow_flex -0.846, shoulder_lift 0.471. Cheapest correction that keeps both properties: drop the subtraction (restoring the exact verified sample set) and instead set initial_positions.yaml, the Home waypoint and the SRDF home group_state to the original curve's t=0 value -- [0.0, 0.7288, -0.3536, 0.3021, 0.3350, 0.4895] -- so the twin still starts without a jump. Flagged ask-user rather than auto-fix because either route changes the demo's user-visible motion and start pose, and the maintainer explicitly prescribed the current form (with only a URDF-limit re-check); this finding is new measured evidence about what that form does to the tool path, not a re-litigation of the closed-curve decision.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/script/so101_arm_bridge.py:181 - Informational, no action requested: the one-shot sine_phase_pinned guard (lines 181-184, 221-223) is the minimal containment the maintainer authorized, and it correctly fixes the first-ever Mirror start. The residual is worth recording in the PR body because the comment overstates it. 'Later restarts continue from wall clock: the twin is then holding wherever the sine left it, and rewinding would snap it back' is only true for pauses short relative to the 12 s period. Concretely: run Mirror for 6 s, stop the Objective, restart 3 s later -- the twin is holding the sine's t=6 pose (wrist_roll -0.670) and the first point published is the t=9 pose (wrist_roll +0.607), a 1.28 rad step carried in a single point with time_from_start 0.04 s, an implied 32 rad/s against a 1.20 rad/s joint_limits entry. The same applies after any heartbeat gap longer than mirror_timeout_s and after the goal_active gate releases at the end of a waypoint execution. Harmless this phase (mock hardware teleports and the README already tells the operator to stop Mirror before planning), and the durable fix is the /joint_states seeding the maintainer explicitly ruled out of scope -- so this is a note for phase two, not a defect to repair now.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/package.xml:29 - Recorded for PR-body visibility only, per the intent-conformance rule; no action requested. The intent states 'usb_cam is deliberately NOT added to package.xml this phase; phase three adds it and needs a rebuild', and package.xml:29 adds <exec_depend>usb_cam</exec_depend>, with README.md:96-97 documenting it as 'already an exec_depend and is installed in the image'. A prior fix round's maintainer instructions explicitly ruled this superseded by a later order and directed that these lines not be touched, so it is left as-is. The README claim is technically accurate given the workspace Dockerfile's rosdep install --from-paths src pass (Dockerfile:184), but only after the next image rebuild -- which this PR forces anyway since src changed.

🔧 Fix: restore untranslated sine, move start state to curve
4 infos still open:

• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/config/moveit/so101.srdf:19 - The fix round moved the mock start pose to the sine's t=0 sample in config/initial_positions.yaml and in the Home waypoint, but the SRDF group_state name="home" still carries the old FAKE_CENTER values (shoulder_lift 0.6, elbow_flex -0.6, wrist_flex 0.0, wrist_roll 0.0) rather than (0.728843537, -0.353637568, 0.302123278, 0.33498815). I grepped the workspace: no objective, config.yaml entry, or core MoveIt Pro Objective references this named state, so there is no functional impact today - it is a valid, collision-free pose in its own right. Recorded only because two artifacts now both spell "home" with different numbers, and the prior round's prescribed remedy listed this file. No action requested.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/waypoints/so101_waypoints.yaml:1 - The Home waypoint's description still reads "Folded rest pose", but the values it now holds are the sine's t=0 sample: elbow_flex -0.354 (was -0.6, i.e. noticeably less folded) and gripper 0.4895 rad (~28 deg, a partly open jaw, was 0.7). The description is user-visible in the Waypoints pane, and it is favorite: true so it is one of the first things an operator sees. This is prose drift introduced by the data change, not a functional defect; flagged ask-user rather than auto-fix because the wording is author-facing product text.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/package.xml:37 - The fix round added import yaml to test/test_so101_arm_bridge.py:39 (used by the new mock_start_positions() helper), but package.xml declares no <test_depend>python3-yaml</test_depend>. PyYAML is present in every practical ROS 2 Jazzy image, so the test will not actually fail here - the gap is only in the declared dependency set that rosdep install --from-paths src resolves from. One line next to the existing test_depend block closes it.
• ℹ️ src/so101_sim/package.xml:29 - Recorded for PR-body visibility only, per the intent-conformance rule; no action requested, and this repeats a divergence already ruled on. The intent states "usb_cam is deliberately NOT added to package.xml this phase; phase three adds it and needs a rebuild", while package.xml:29 adds <exec_depend>usb_cam</exec_depend> and README.md:96-97 documents it as "already an exec_depend and is installed in the image". A prior fix round's maintainer instructions explicitly ruled this superseded by a later order and directed that these lines not be touched, so they are left as-is.

🔧 Fix: align SRDF home and Home description, declare python3-yaml

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f48e8

The simulated SO-101 bridge can allow mirror motion to override a newly accepted planned trajectory, producing unexpected arm motion in the UI. This controller-ownership behavior should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Prune the incident-specific simulator guidance.

Keep the armature/kv < timestep rule, but remove the historical hangar measurements and debugging details. Point agents to the authoritative MuJoCo files: src/hangar_sim/description/hangar_scene.xml, ur5e_ridgeback.xml, and the wheel-link includes. This keeps the AGENTS.md entry useful without duplicating configuration values that agents can read from source.

[griswaldbrooks]

Thanks @coderabbitai — went through the review:

1. LICENSE copyright notice — fixed in f48e802. Added the BSD 3-Clause header matching src/picknik_accessories/LICENSE, consistent with the package's BSD-3-Clause tag. Noted on that thread that every other config package in this workspace has the same gap, which looks worth a separate repo-wide sweep.

2. Atomic controller ownership in the bridge — declined for this phase, reasoning on the thread. Short version: the heartbeat is the primary guard, the action-status check is documented as best-effort, and the README directs the operator to stop Mirror before planning. Hardening it with a live integration test is phase-two scope and is now recorded in the PR description under "Carry-forward notes for phase two".

3. AGENTS.md lines 20-28 (prune the hangar MuJoCo guidance) — skipping. That content is pre-existing and unrelated to this PR; the only change here was moving the file from CLAUDE.md to AGENTS.md verbatim. Editing it would put unrelated churn in a config-package PR.

@coderabbitai review

[coderabbitai]

@griswaldbrooks Thanks for the detailed follow-up.

The LICENSE finding is addressed.

I accept the AGENTS.md scope explanation. That finding does not apply to this PR.

The controller-ownership limitation remains documented for phase two. Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the integration-test hardening and the repository-wide LICENSE notice sweep?
