Greptile Summary

This PR introduces a comprehensive mock interface selection API that enables unit testing across different physics backends (PhysX and Newton) without requiring a full simulation environment.

Key Changes:

• New Mock Infrastructure for Newton Backend: Added factory functions (create_mock_articulation_view, create_mock_quadruped_view, create_mock_humanoid_view) and mock implementations (MockNewtonArticulationView, MockNewtonModel, MockWrenchComposer) that properly handle structured Warp types
• New Mock Infrastructure for PhysX Backend: Added MockArticulationView with comprehensive getter/setter methods and set_mock_* methods for direct test data injection
• Validation Framework: Added assert_shape_and_dtype and assert_shape_and_dtype_mask methods to AssetBase for runtime input validation (debug mode only, zero overhead in production)
• API Consistency Improvements: Updated all mock interfaces to align with current data shapes, removed stale convenience aliases (com_pos_b, com_quat_b), and fixed find_* methods to accept string subsets instead of integer indices
• Bug Fixes: Corrected body_mass shape from (N, 1, 1) to (N, 1) in rigid objects, unified inertia scaling logic in randomize_rigid_body_mass
• Enhanced Type Support: Updated tendon setters to accept float values in addition to tensors/arrays
• Comprehensive Testing: Added extensive test suites for both PhysX and Newton mock implementations

Integration Points:

The validation methods are now called throughout PhysX and Newton articulation implementations, providing runtime verification of input shapes and dtypes for all write methods. This catches common errors early during development while maintaining zero overhead in production builds.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are well-structured, thoroughly tested, and maintain backward compatibility. The new mock interface API is additive and doesn't modify existing production code paths except for adding debug-mode validation. All changes follow established patterns and conventions.
• No files require special attention
