Inspect the requirements, then remove --plan to prepare a project. Preparation verifies the archive SHA256 and preserves exact source pins. --install-deps explicitly installs dependencies. Run the returned simulation command separately.

Compatibility status: hub_verified

All inputs and outputs follow interface v1. Simulation adapters query exact synthetic simulator state; no perception or physical sensor compatibility.

Requirements

No display. Matplotlib Agg for numerical imports; PyBullet DIRECT for simulation.

Packages: contourpy==1.3.2, cycler==0.12.1, fonttools==4.65.0, kiwisolver==1.5.1, matplotlib==3.9.4, numpy==1.26.4, packaging==26.3, pillow==12.3.0, pyparsing==3.3.3, python-dateutil==2.9.0.post0, scipy==1.13.1, six==1.17.0

Runtime dependency versions are pinned for the supported Python 3.10 x86_64 CPU environments and checked against execution receipts. Platform-specific wheel hashes are not represented as a universal artifact lock; prepare captures pip freeze.

External API keys: none.

Success: Exit 0, status=task_complete, success=true, finite outputs satisfying interface.output_schema and all declared numerical/model checks. This is not a physical robot or general task-success claim.

Timeout: 30 seconds. Caller must terminate the separate adapter process after 30 seconds; adapters bound iterations/scene steps and close simulation clients.

Runtime: task_complete / task_complete

Three frozen positive cases passed against this exact adapter; see per-case receipts. This does not estimate general accuracy.

Submitter reports and hub verification remain separate. Source review does not establish task success.
