Description

Summary

This MR introduces a transport-neutral plugin I/O abstraction so plugin implementations no longer depend on concrete OpenXR sessions, runtime handles, DeviceIOSession, HandInjector, or WristPoseSource.

Plugins now interact through IPluginSession, which creates:

  • IPluginPullChannel for tracker and wrist data
  • ISchemaPushChannel for FlatBuffer/schema output
  • IHandTrackingPushChannel for hand-joint output

The existing OpenXR behavior is preserved behind OpenXRPluginSession and its channel adapters. This establishes the boundary needed for a future remote session/bridge without implementing that remote transport in this MR.

Key changes

  • Added PluginSessionRequirements for declaring plugin capabilities.
  • Added transport-neutral session, push-channel, pull-channel, and wrist-source interfaces.
  • Updated pushers to receive channels rather than sessions or OpenXR handles.
  • Moved OpenXR handles and runtime-specific operations inside the OpenXR adapter layer.
  • Retained OpenXR value types such as hand enums and joint structures where useful, while excluding OpenXR runtime interfaces from plugin implementations.
  • Migrated the following plugins:
    • Manus
    • Wuji glove
    • Haptikos
    • Controller synthetic hands
    • Generic 3-axis pedal
    • Controller SE3 tracker
    • Vive SE3 tracker
    • Noitom mocap
    • OAK
    • OGLO tactile
    • Rebot DevArm leader
    • SO-101 leader
  • Updated live tracker factories and schema-pusher examples to use session-created channels.
  • Documented buffer ownership, channel/session lifetime, timestamp, and hand-stream deactivation contracts.
  • Added fake-session and channel tests covering delegation, validation, tracker lookup, snapshots, wrist queries, and destruction ordering.

Design notes

  • Concrete OpenXRPluginSession construction is limited to executable composition roots.
  • Plugin classes retain only the abstract PluginSessionHandle.
  • Pull channels are multiplexed: one channel can expose multiple typed trackers and an optional wrist source.
  • Push channels remain purpose-specific because schema tensors and hand tracking have different contracts and lifecycle semantics.
  • A remote implementation will be responsible for serialization, clock mapping, buffer copying, disconnect handling, and forwarding data to its OpenXR endpoint.

Limitations

  • This MR provides the abstraction boundary only; it does not implement RemotePluginSession or the network bridge.
  • Proprietary SDK linking and live hardware behavior for Manus, Haptikos, and Wuji were not validated in the local environment.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change introduces transport-neutral plugin session, pull-channel, wrist-tracking, schema-push, and hand-tracking APIs. OpenXR adapters implement these APIs and retain runtime-specific handling. Examples, live trackers, and plugins now receive injected session or channel objects. Plugin composition roots create OpenXRPluginSession instances and declare capabilities. New tests cover channel delegation, validation, lifecycle ordering, and pull-channel behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 58b93

OpenXR failures can terminate the Haptikos or Wuji processes, creating a second pull channel can fail, and the new unit tests may be skipped by label-based CI. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@src/plugins/haptikos/haptikos_hands_plugin.cpp`:
- Around line 112-113: Extend the existing Haptikos worker try/catch boundary to
include both left- and right-hand HandTrackingPusher construction via
create_hand_tracking_push_channel and their HandTrackingPusher::push calls, so
exceptions use the existing Haptikos failure handling instead of escaping
worker_thread.

In `@src/plugins/plugin_utils/openxr_plugin_session.cpp`:
- Around line 214-219: Update OpenXRPluginSession::create_pull_channel to
prevent a second live OpenXRPluginPullChannel when trackers_ includes a
ControllerTracker, either by guarding active-channel creation or reusing
existing session resources. Do not use requirements_.wrist_tracking_pull as the
guard, since it only controls the optional wrist source; preserve creation of
the baseline pull channel.

In `@src/plugins/wuji_glove/wuji_glove_plugin.cpp`:
- Around line 624-631: Extend the worker thread’s existing exception boundary to
include both pump_hand calls, pump_hand(m_left_pusher, ...) and
pump_hand(m_right_pusher, ...). Ensure exceptions from lazy channel creation or
push are caught by the same handler, which must preserve the existing cleanup
and m_failed/m_running state updates.

In `@tests/cpp/core/pusherio/CMakeLists.txt`:
- Line 18: Update the catch_discover_tests invocation for pusherio_tests to
enable Catch2 tag-to-CTest-label mapping via ADD_TAGS_AS_LABELS, so tests tagged
[unit] remain selectable with CTest -L unit.
