Replace eval with secure AST parser

Changelog

Key Changes

🚀 Features

• The Composer API: Introduced a hybrid RobotBuilder API for modular robotic assembly with automatic namespace conflict resolution and deep cloning.
• MoveIt 2 & SRDF Parity: Implemented a complete SRDF intermediate representation, generator, and XML parser (with XACRO support) for native semantic group composition.
• High-Performance Physics: Shipped a new mesh inertia integrator utilizing NumPy vectorization, alongside advanced sliver triangle detection to guarantee solid-body accuracy.
• Validation Engine: Added a modular semantic validation linter and registry to strictly enforce rigid-body mathematical integrity (e.g., catching non-physical inertia tensors).
• Blender 5.x & ROS Parity: Full compatibility with Blender 5.x (Python 3.13) and hardened XACRO evaluation sandboxes.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Parser Robustness: Enhanced the URDF engine to efficiently handle out-of-order elements during iterative parsing.
• Visual Synchronization: Corrected LinkForge naming synchronization with internal Blender object names and fixed live physics gizmo updates.
• Topology Verification: Restored and improved disconnected links validation directly within the Blender interface.

🛠️ Refactors

• Architecture Hardening: Decoupled the headless core from visual platforms, refactored the URDFParser engine, and significantly optimized Blender scene traversal.

Changelog

Key Changes

• Live Sync: Per-component property mirroring for Links, Joints, Sensors, and ROS 2 Control.
• UI Guard: Collision generation is now safely disabled for empty link frames with informative tooltips.

Changelog

• Support for modern $(eval) expressions and recursive property access
• Remove restrictive mesh validator for negative scales
• Add the PyYAML wheel for Python 3.13 to support Blender 5.1

Changelog

fix sensor visibility and live physics gizmo updates

Changelog

Features

• harden xacro eval sandbox against dunder escapes
• add xacro console logging and custom ROS package paths

Bug Fixes

• urdf: handle out-of-order elements in iterative parser
• xacro: enhance spec compliance and hardening

Changelog

🚀 Features

• add component search filter for component browser
• enhance joint model with safety/calibration and fix xacro grouping
• enhance ros2_control intelligence and unify simplified mesh terminology
• ros2-control: joint sync, xacro modularity, and 100% core test coverage

🐞 Bug Fixes

• resolve security gaps and documentation discrepancies
• enhance XACRO generator to remove additional types of empty placeholder

Changelog

Key Changes

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Type Safety Milestone: Refactored the entire Blender integration to achieve 100% static type safety, ensuring significantly better stability and developer experience.
• Parser Hardening: Improved the robustness of the URDF/Xacro parser and introduced a hybrid package resolver for more reliable file path resolution.
• DAE Support Restored: Fixed regressions to fully restore support for Collada (DAE) mesh files.

Changelog

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Robust Import Handling: Fixed a critical issue where the root link's world transform was effectively lost during import, ensuring that robots now load into the scene with their correct global orientation and position.
• Mesh Export Naming: Resolved naming conflicts during mesh export to ensure clean, predictable file names for generated assets.
• Rotation Mode Stability: Hardened the handling of rotation modes (Euler/Quaternion) to prevent unexpected flipping or gimbal lock issues during editing.

[1.2.0] - 2026-01-24

[!NOTE] v1.2.0: The Architectural Leap & Control Dashboard

This major update transforms LinkForge into a professional-grade bridge. It deprecates the legacy "Transmission" system in favor of a centralized Control Dashboard for ros2_control management. It also introduces robust "Virtual Link" handling, auto-inertia preservation, and a fully hexagonal core architecture for stability.

🌟 Release Highlights

• Control Dashboard: Centralized management of Position, Velocity, and Effort interfaces.
• Data Preservation: "Auto-Calculate Inertia" is now smart. It stays disabled when importing valid URDFs to preserve scientific data.
• Professional Branding: Standardized UI and docs under the "Professional URDF & XACRO Bridge" identity.

🚀 Features

• Centralized Control: New ros2_control dashboard.
• Core Architecture: Full hexagonal refactor and improved coverage.
• Blender Integration: Robust persistent inertia viz and GPU overlays.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Handle Collada removal in Blender 5.0+.
• Collision import preventing accidental degradation during the import-export cycle.
• Correct string formatting in XACRO detection error msg

📚 Documentation

• Complete Audit: Synced all docs with v1.2.0 features.
• New Guides: Added Dashboard and Best Practices guides.
