<pid kp kv|dampratio [ki imax] [slewmax]> is a PID controller with real position and velocity setpoint inputs on a single force output, plus an optional feedforward input. With a zero velocity setpoint it reproduces <position> bit-exactly; the input signature is any subset of [pos, vel, ff], selected with input="..." and recorded as mjtCtrlInput bits in
actuator_ctrlspec; absent setpoint inputs are fixed at zero, so the control vector contains no inert entries.
kp and kv are single-sourced in the affine bias parameters (biasprm[1,2]) with no gainprm mirror: every consumer of the position-servo shape
(dampratio conversion, inheritrange, qDeriv) reads one location, which is what makes the bit-exact <position> parity possible. Controller state uses dyntype 'pid' with slot-gated activations in the order [slew, integral], following the dcmotor slot idiom: slewmax (dynprm[1]) rate limits the effective position setpoint through an activation holding it;
ki (gainprm[0]) integrates the position error -- wrapped on rotational transmissions -- with anti-windup clamping of the integrand at imax (dynprm[0]). Both features require the pos input. Servo input unpacking is shared with the dcmotor controller (unpackServoInputs); per-input ranges are exposed as posrange/velrange/ffrange.
This subsumes the functionality of the mujoco.pid plugin with proper activation state: correct under all integrators, visible to keyframes, act sensors and reset. Migration: kp/ki/kd map to kp/ki/kv, plugin imax is in force units (divide by ki), slewmax carries over; the single ctrl becomes input="pos".

New transmission type mjTRN_SO3: a relative orientation, targeting a ball
joint or a site+refsite pair. It is the first transmission with more than
one force output: its length is the norm of the expmap vector of the
relative rotation and its moment axes are the 3 rows of the
relative rotational Jacobian, without projecting onto per-actuator gears.
New force law mjGAIN_SO3/mjBIAS_SO3: a geodesic PD servo, force =
kp * log(q_current^-1 * q_target) - kv * velocity, exact for arbitrary axis
combinations with a unique equilibrium at every commanded orientation.
Error, moment rows and velocity all live in the child frame (joint or
site): the right-difference error is the gradient of the geodesic
potential in that frame. The parent-frame (left) error is not: driving
child-frame torques with it pumps energy at large angles, settling into
steady-spinning limit cycles (the SO3LargeAngleConvergence test). The
integrator variant stores the 3D orientation setpoint in act (actnum = 3,
re-anchored to a bounded representative at integration time). Exposed in
MJCF as <orientation joint=|site=+refsite= kp kv|dampratio>, or via
<general gaintype="so3" biastype="so3">.
The setpoint input has two charts: an expmap target (3 controls, default)
or a quaternion target (4 controls) -- <orientation input="quat">, the
first actuator with different input and output widths. The signature is
recorded in a new per-actuator field actuator_ctrlspec (mjtCtrlChart),
whose meaning is scoped by the gain type the way gain/bias parameters are;
ctrlnum is derived from it at compile time and remains the layout
authority. An explicit field rather than width inference or a prm slot:
width-as-chart cannot express same-width signatures (upcoming servo input
subsets), and prm slots are the input_mode pattern this stack retires.
The force law normalizes the commanded quaternion, making it scale- and
antipodally-invariant. The all-zero ctrl still maps to the identity via
mju_normalize4, but it is a degenerate point (a nudge of any component
commands a half-turn), so quat inputs reset to the identity quaternion:
new mj_resetCtrl sets neutral ctrl values (zero, except qw = 1), called
by mj_resetData and the viewers' Clear All. The quat chart is
restricted to dyntype 'none': integrating a quaternion setpoint linearly
is not meaningful on the manifold. New mjsActuator.ctrlspec field carries
the signature through the spec and XML round-trip.
Actuator sensors (actuatorpos/vel/frc) now report one value per force
output; dim = 3 on an SO3 actuator.
As the first actuator with nu != nactuator, this commit also makes the
viewers multi-input aware: the control sliders in simulate and studio,
which indexed per-actuator arrays by control index (out of bounds on
this model class), are generated per control and labeled with the
actuator name plus an input suffix ("orient/qw"), via the new
introspection helper mj_actuatorInputName -- the single source of truth
for input names, extended by each new multi-input type (quaternion
components are w-first: qw, qx, qy, qz). Slider ranges now honor a
defined ctrlrange even when ctrllimited is false: range is the UI hint,
limited is the clamp -- wrapped and expmap setpoints are unbounded but
still want finite sliders, while quat components are truly bounded.
The rotational demo model is orientation.xml under
test/engine/testdata/actuation/, upgraded to a three-way contrast:
per-axis wrapped servos vs an expmap-commanded vs a quat-commanded
orientation actuator, on identical checker-textured boxes. It is loaded
by the mixed-axis contrast and input-name tests, and doubles as the
viewer test model (slider groups of 3 independent, 3 grouped, 4 grouped).

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 compiler's log handler now chains warnings to the global log handler, ensuring they are still displayed immediately. Call sites in `mj_loadXML`, `mj_compile`, and the Python and WASM bindings have been updated to use the new warning API.

Add a new mjpEncoder plugin type mirroring the existing mjpDecoder pattern.
Encoders serialize an mjSpec + mjModel to an mjResource for a given format.
New API functions:
- mjp_registerEncoder: globally register an encoder
- mjp_defaultEncoder: zero-initialize an encoder struct
- mjp_findEncoder: look up an encoder by filename extension or content type
The mjfEncode callback takes (mjSpec*, mjModel*, mjVFS*, mjResource*) and
returns 0 on success. Writing to mjResource keeps symmetry with the decoder
reading from mjResource and leaves the door open for writable resource providers.

Resource operations (e.g. mju_openResource, mju_readResource, and
mju_closeResource, etc.) are now all handled by a VFS instance. It
is now up to the VFS to determine which provider to use in order to
handle those operations.
This allows us to dynamically add/remove (aka "mount") providers to
a VFS to handle special requests. mj_addFileVFS and mj_addBufferVFS
have been reimplemented as two such use-cases. Moreover, we expose
the mounting behaviour with two new functions: mj_mountVFS and
mj_unmountVFS.

- plugin system similar to mjpResourceProvider, but instead of loading a resource it converts an existing mjResource into an mjSpec.
- The returned spec is then composed into the referencing spec.
- This enables different file types to generate arbitrary specs, and allows us to separate format parsing from compilation code.
Follow up CLs will move some of the logic in src/engine for PNG, USD, KTX, OBJ loading into decoders.
The mj_parse function MjSpec from a given file, it's a more generic version of mj_parseXML.
In it's implementation, mj_parse as opposed to mj_parseXML will look for any registered decoder and
not assume we are striclty dealing with MJCF.
