Summary

Add menagerie comparison test infrastructure that verifies Newton's SolverMuJoCo against native mujoco_warp across MuJoCo Menagerie robots
Add skip_visual_only_geoms parameter to SolverMuJoCo (needed for Apollo's explicit <pair> contact model)
Enable UR5e (500 steps, bit-identical with split pipeline) and Apollo (100 steps, position-level)

This is WIP — the goal is to land the test infrastructure to unblock further robot enablement and parser improvements.

What it does

The test creates both a Newton SolverMuJoCo instance and a native mujoco_warp instance from the same MJCF, runs them side-by-side with 34 parallel worlds and identical randomized controls, and compares model fields and dynamics at each step.

Two comparison modes:

Split pipeline (UR5e): Injects contacts and constraints from Newton into native to bypass mujoco_warp's non-deterministic wp.atomic_add ordering. Achieves bit-identical results at default 1e-6 tolerance over 500 steps.
Full pipeline (Apollo): Both sides run independently with CUDA graph capture. Compares position-level fields (qpos, xpos, qvel, etc.) at relaxed tolerances (~5e-4) over 100 steps. Float32 solver noise from atomic_add in the constraint solver and Euler damping limits tighter comparison.

Current limitations

2 of 61 robots enabled — UR5e and Apollo. Each new robot may need per-robot tolerance overrides and model skip fields.
Model comparison skips — Several field categories are globally skipped (sensors, cameras, lights, mocap, materials) because Newton doesn't parse them from MJCF yet.
Split pipeline doesn't support CUDA graphs — Injection between graph captures doesn't work correctly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a configurable option to skip visual-only geometries during MuJoCo model export (enabled by default).
Chores
- Extended typo-detection config to recognize additional MuJoCo Menagerie names and variants.
Tests
- Added another third‑party dataset to parallel pre-downloads.
- Improved test reporting to handle missing start times and avoid incorrect durations.

Move the six inline comparison blocks (mjw_models, inertia tensors, solref physics, geom fields, jnt_range, compiled fields) from test_simulation_equivalence() into a reusable compare_models() function.

The pre-step comparison was unreliable due to contact ordering differences from mj_forward and added no value over the per-step comparisons during simulation.

vreutskyy

Solid test infrastructure — the two-mode comparison approach (split pipeline for bit-exact, full pipeline with CUDA graphs) is well-designed, and the class hierarchy makes enabling new robots trivial. The physics-equivalence checks (inertia tensor reconstruction, solref ke/kd conversion) are particularly well-thought-out.

Main actionable item is the regex-based XML manipulation which should use ElementTree instead. The rest are minor quality-of-life improvements.

Left 6 inline comments — 1 suggestion (XML manipulation), 1 missing doc (skip_visual_only_geoms docstring), and 4 nits.

- Replace fragile regex XML manipulation with ElementTree API - Document skip_visual_only_geoms in SolverMuJoCo.__init__ docstring - Add comment explaining why 34 worlds is the default - Replace no-op stub with NotImplementedError in apply_randomization - Use tobytes() as sort key instead of hash() for deterministic ordering - Remove unused compare_geom_sizes (logic lives in compare_geom_fields_unordered)

All 6 review comments addressed cleanly. LGTM!

…wton-physics#2916) # Description This is a follow-up to newton-physics#1746 by @lukasfro — thanks for the great work there! I’ve been using this feature and found it really helpful. Since the only remaining request was to resolve merge conflicts and the PR has been quiet for a bit, I went ahead and rebased it on the latest `main` to help move things forward. I branched directly off @lukasfro’s [original branch](https://github.com/lukasfro/IsaacLab/tree/feature/force_matrix_w_history) to preserve their authorship, and only applied the changes needed to resolve the conflicts. Of course, if @lukasfro prefers to continue the original PR, I’m more than happy to close this. Just hoping to be helpful and support getting this great addition merged. All credit for the original work goes to @lukasfro. Fixes newton-physics#1720 ## Type of change - New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) ## Checklist - [x] I have run the [`pre-commit` checks](https://pre-commit.com/) with `./isaaclab.sh --format` - [ ] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [ ] My changes generate no new warnings - [ ] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works - [x] I have updated the changelog and the corresponding version in the extension's `config/extension.toml` file - [x] I have added my name to the `CONTRIBUTORS.md` or my name already exists there --------- Signed-off-by: Kelly Guo <kellyg@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: lukasfro <lukas.froehlich@swiss-mile.com> Co-authored-by: Kelly Guo <kellyg@nvidia.com>

…wton-physics#2916) This is a follow-up to newton-physics#1746 by @lukasfro — thanks for the great work there! I’ve been using this feature and found it really helpful. Since the only remaining request was to resolve merge conflicts and the PR has been quiet for a bit, I went ahead and rebased it on the latest `main` to help move things forward. I branched directly off @lukasfro’s [original branch](https://github.com/lukasfro/IsaacLab/tree/feature/force_matrix_w_history) to preserve their authorship, and only applied the changes needed to resolve the conflicts. Of course, if @lukasfro prefers to continue the original PR, I’m more than happy to close this. Just hoping to be helpful and support getting this great addition merged. All credit for the original work goes to @lukasfro.

Extract model comparisons into compare_models()

a74eb90

Move the six inline comparison blocks (mjw_models, inertia tensors, solref physics, geom fields, jnt_range, compiled fields) from test_simulation_equivalence() into a reusable compare_models() function.

Remove initial-state comparison at step -1

7a2ba48

The pre-step comparison was unreliable due to contact ordering differences from mj_forward and added no value over the per-step comparisons during simulation.

Force num_worlds=1 when debug visualization is enabled
