The new geom attribute adhesion (units of force, signed; pair-level
override) translates the contact friction cone along its normal so
that the force origin lies strictly inside it. Consequences: each
contact can pull with up to the given force before breaking, and the
tangential friction budget becomes mu*(f_N + adhesion) -- the
Mohr-Coulomb yield condition with cohesion c = mu*adhesion -- so
lightly-squeezed grasps retain a guaranteed friction floor.
A translated cone factors exactly into {constant attractive force}
+ {original cone}, so no solver kernels change. The implementation is
this factorization: a constant attraction along contact normals
accumulated into the new mjData.qfrc_adhesion (summed into
qfrc_passive), plus a bias of adhesive contact rows' reference
acceleration (aref += R*adhesion), which makes resting penetration
exactly independent of adhesion. Contacts of adhesive pairs remain
active throughout the gap zone, producing rows with positive violation
whose reference acceleration pulls: a tether that resists pull-off
smoothly, captures objects released within the band into steady
contact, and detaches at the specified force. Adhesion values of the
two geoms combine by sum; explicit pairs override.
mj_contactForce reports the net interface force (cone force minus the
adhesive pull), whose normal component can now be negative. Negative
adhesion is allowed and produces a repulsive offset (air hockey).

The new geom attribute surfacevel (6 numbers: linear and angular velocity in the geom's local frame, angular about the geom frame origin) specifies the velocity of the geom's surface material relative to the geom frame. The relative surface velocity of the two geoms is added to the tangential contact rows of efc_vel in mj_referenceConstraint, so friction drives touching bodies toward the motion of the surface: objects on a conveyor are transported at belt speed, turntables impart omega x r with torsional spin-up for condim >= 4, and surface velocities compose with each other and with body motion. The component along the contact normal is projected out: probe experiments showed that velocity-space emission chatters mass-independently and ingestion merely deepens penetration; normal-direction effects belong to force-space features.
surfacevel is interpreted in the geom frame as authored: for mesh geoms, whose compiled frame absorbs the mesh centering and principal-axes transform, the compiler re-expresses the authored value in the compiled frame.
No special interaction with sleeping: objects being transported do not fall asleep because they are moving; objects at rest on an active surface may sleep like any other resting object.
Includes showcase models (model/surfacevel/): a luggage carousel whose ring is a spinning square-profile supertorus fed by a cascade of belts with matched spinning end rollers, bags dropping in and circulating indefinitely; and a treadmill with a passive humanoid.

The flexcomp compiler previously rejected pins on dim-2 flexes with
bending (elastic2d bend/both). Allow them: mj_flexPassiveBend treats a
pinned vertex (body without 3 free slide dofs) as static -- zero
velocity, and no bending force applied to it (the reaction is carried
by the pin) -- while its position still enters every neighbor's
bending force, which is exactly what the pin constrains.

Compiler warnings are now accumulated in a vector of strings within the mjSpec object. New API functions `mjs_numWarnings` and `mjs_getWarning` are added to access these warnings.

The `vert0` array, used for parametric vertex coordinates in flexes, is now computed in the flex's local, unrotated frame when using interpolation. This ensures that the parametric coordinates are independent of the flex's initial orientation. A new test confirms that `flex_vert0` is identical for an unrotated and a rotated flex grid.

When elastic2d="stretch" is set on an interpolated flexcomp, treat the bounding box boundary as membrane elements rather than volumetric cells. This computes plane-stress stiffness over the boundary faces and updates the runtime force/derivative kernels accordingly.
Interior vertex tracking (moving vertices that follow the deforming shell) is not yet implemented so all mesh vertices need to be on the bounding box surface or the background grid should have no interior nodes (i.e. cellcount should be 1 on at least one axis).

Do not allow a mix of `elastic2d != none` with `dof = trilinear` since the latter assumes 3d elasticity.
Also, do not assume that `flex_interp > 0` in the engine. This will enable to use, e.g., `flex_interp = -1` to mean a linear surface finite element instead of a 3d finite element which is currently identified with `flex_interp = 1`.

Previously specs that were attached to some parent spec would resolve its asset paths relative to the modelfiledir of the parent spec. This means path resolution would change depending on the source of the parent spec. Instead, this change makes asset file path resolution relative to the "owning spec" i.e. the spec where the asset was created.
This enables workflows such as loading a parent spec via resource provider, then loading a child spec via `from_zip` or in memory providing `spec.assets` and resolution will work as intended.

The previous implementation only checked whether grid cells contained mesh vertices to determine occupancy. For coarse meshes with large faces, most cells were incorrectly marked empty and pruned—even cells fully inside the object volume. This change improves the algorithm by:
- Marking cells that overlap with any mesh element's AABB as non-empty.
- For surface meshes, running a flood-fill from the grid boundary through non-overlapping cells to identify truly exterior cells. This preserves empty interior cells, preventing incorrect pruning of the object's core.
- For volumetric meshes, defaulting to element-AABB overlap detection directly.
Limitations for non-watertight meshes: If the mesh contains holes larger than the grid cell size, the flood-fill will leak into the interior. In this case, all non-element cells (including interior ones) will be marked as empty.

This change introduces an optimization for flexcomp objects defined by a mesh. It identifies grid cells that do not contain any mesh vertices and marks them as empty. Nodes that are exclusively part of empty cells are pinned, preventing them from moving. Stiffness computations are skipped for empty cells, reducing computational cost. The total mass is now distributed only among the non-pinned nodes.

The flex interpolation stiffness matrix within the implicit/implicitfast solvers is now built and factorized in a banded format instead of a dense one. This involves:
- Calculating the bandwidth based on the sparsity of the mass/damping matrix and the connectivity within flex cells.
- Allocating and populating a banded matrix `H`.
- Using `mju_cholFactorBand` and `mju_cholSolveBand` for factorization and solving.
This change improves performance for flexes with many DOFs but local coupling.
