Summary

  • Consolidates two previously-scattered tech-debt entries (rtb-data publishing drift, moving rtb-data into a packages/ folder) into one ## rtb-data section.
  • Documents a bundled-xacro naming mismatch found in LBR (kuka_lbr_iiwa vs the xacro-expected kuka_lbr_iiwa_support) — needs an rtb-data rename + republish.
  • Documents the Valkyrie/Fetch upstream RD-source bugs and notes they're now fixed via the patch-hook approach in fix(models): patch broken upstream RD files for Valkyrie and Fetch #543 (rather than left as known-broken).
  • Proposes a follow-up: RD-loaded models' docstrings (~8 classes) don't currently credit/link robot_descriptions at all.

No code changes — tech-debt.md only.

… findings

Merges the two scattered rtb-data-related entries (publishing drift,
packages/ folder move) into one section, and adds three new findings
from the runblock-cleanup sweep: LBR's bundled xacro tree has a
directory-naming mismatch (kuka_lbr_iiwa vs kuka_lbr_iiwa_support),
Valkyrie/Fetch already load via robot_descriptions but the RD-supplied
upstream files are themselves broken (unexpanded xacro macro / unbound
XML namespace prefix), and RD-loaded models' docstrings don't currently
credit or link robot_descriptions.

…h hook

Updates the entry written earlier today now that both models are
actually fixed (see fix/valkyrie-fetch-rd-patch) rather than left as
known-broken.
