Problem(s)

  • This is a blocker for G1 rosnav stack parity with Go2, ref DIM-569
  • DockerModules stopped working on dev
  • configure_stream does not support different transport types (Blocker for DIM-569)
  • A failed DockerModule build wouldn't stop the container (leak)
  • A new container name was generated every run (huge build up of containers)
  • We have no tests for docker (how it got broken on dev in the first place)
  • No way to pull an image (rather than local dockerfile)
  • No way to change build args (ex: can't add network flag)
  • Image never rebuilds even if dockerfile edited or build args changes
  • DockerModules didn't deploy in parallel
  • There was a bug with error handling of WorkerManager

Closes DIM-662

Solution

  • Add tests
  • Minimal change to ModuleCoordinator to restore functionality: deploy docker modules in parallel
  • remove configure_stream (not needed) in favor of using set_transport work as intended to allow different stream types
  • stop/cleanup fixes

**Full Changelog**: v0.0.7...v0.0.8
…HTTPS from SSH, get_data change, LFS changes

v0.0.9 Release Patch: Git clone change to HTTPS from SSH, get_data change, LFS changes
Release v0.0.10: Manipulation Stack, MuJoCo Simulation, DDS Transport, Web and Native Visualization via Rerun


## Highlights

88+ commits, 20 contributors, 700+ files changed.

The TLDR: **a complete manipulation stack**, **MuJoCo simulation**, **DDS transport**, and **a rewritten visualization pipeline**. Agents are no longer bolted on top — they're refactored as native modules with direct stream access. The entire ROS message dependency has been removed from core DimOS, and we've added VR, phone, and arm teleoperation stacks. You can now vibecode a pick-and-place task from natural language to motor commands. Installation has been significantly streamlined — no more direnv, simpler setup, and the web viewer is now the default.

---

## 🚀 New Features

### Simulation
- **MuJoCo simulation module** — Run any DimOS blueprint in simulation with no hardware. Supports xArm and Unitree embodiments, parses MJCF/URDF for robot properties, monotonic clock timing (no `time.sleep`). `dimos --simulation run unitree-go2` ([#1035](#1035)) by @jca0

**Full Changelog**: [v0.0.9...v0.0.10](v0.0.9...v0.0.10)
docs(go2): add getting started guide (#1339)
jeff-hykin and others added 5 commits March 13, 2026 15:09
- docker_worker_manager: accept ModuleSpec format, pass global_config
- module_coordinator: add type: ignore for ModuleBase→Module cast
- worker_manager: convert Iterable to list for len() check
- test_docker_deployment: fix Path import, update test assertions for
  new global_config signature

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Merged origin/dev, resolving import conflict in docker_runner.py:
- Updated LCMRPC import path to dimos.protocol.rpc.pubsubrpc (from dev)
- Kept ModuleProxyProtocol import and lazy docker_build imports (PR intent)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pre-existing mypy errors: onnxruntime is excluded from install
(--no-extra cuda) so import-not-found needs to be ignored alongside
import-untyped.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove comment section markers (dashed lines) that violate the
  no-section-markers test policy
- Remove .venv symlink from git tracking (already in .gitignore)

Example code should always follow best practices because people/LLMs are going to copy it. So in this case, you need to add to _disposables.

- Add proper _disposables cleanup for stream subscriptions
- Use subprocess.check_output instead of subprocess.run
- Move inline import (autoconnect) to top of file
- Module.rpc_timeouts dict allows per-method timeout overrides
- RPCClient resolves timeouts from module's rpc_timeouts, with defaults:
  start=1200s, everything else=120s
- RpcCall carries resolved timeout, passes it to call_sync
- DockerModule mirrors the same pattern via _resolve_timeout()
- call_sync no longer auto-detects 'start' — caller is responsible
- Pickle compat: RpcCall supports both old 2-tuple and new 3-tuple state
Not related to rosnav feature work.

should get fixed by #1571

Add a generic file change detection utility (dimos/utils/change_detect.py)
that tracks content hashes via xxhash and integrate it into NativeModule so
it can automatically rebuild when watched source files change.

- change_detect.did_change() hashes file content, stores per-cache-name
  hash files in the venv, and returns True when files differ
- NativeModuleConfig gains rebuild_on_change: list[str] | None
- NativeModule._maybe_build() deletes stale executables when sources change
- 11 tests for change_detect, 3 integration tests for native rebuild
…onalOS/dimos into jeff/fix/docker3"

This reverts commit 738c600, reversing
changes made to b7e4821.
Protocol.__init__ bodies are unreachable via super() in the MRO,
so RPCClient.__init__ never ran — rpc_timeouts/default_rpc_timeout
were never set. Call it directly instead.
