Build unpadded collision environments lazily

[hugogo1998]

Description

Creating a diff currently builds both padded and unpadded collision environments, even though most planning only uses the padded environment.

This change builds the unpadded environment on first use by copying the scene's own collision environment, then resetting its padding and scale. This preserves copied link shapes and attached objects without retaining a parent detector. Initialization is guarded by std::call_once.

Results

Real FCL 0.7, mean time for allocateCollisionDetector:

World objects	Current	This change	Speedup
20	9.03 µs	4.35 µs	2.08x
50	47.82 µs	23.65 µs	2.02x
100	222.72 µs	94.50 µs	2.36x
200	453.14 µs	187.31 µs	2.42x

If every scene uses the unpadded environment, the work is deferred rather than removed and performance is approximately unchanged.

Testing

Added tests for nested lazy initialization, concurrent first access, and releasing a source scene after clone() / decoupleParent().

Built moveit_core and ran test_planning_scene in moveit/moveit2:humble-ci: 18/18 gtests passed; colcon reported 19 tests, 0 errors, 0 failures, 0 skipped.

Checklist

• Required by CI: Code is auto formatted using clang-format
• Extend tutorials / documentation — not applicable; no user-facing change
• Document API changes in MIGRATION.md — not applicable; no API change
• Create tests — added lazy initialization, concurrency, and lifecycle coverage
• Include a screenshot if changing a GUI — not applicable
• While waiting for the PR to be reviewed, review another open PR

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Planning-scene collision detectors now reuse parent environments and lazily create unpadded environments with one-time synchronization. Tests cover nested diffs and concurrent access.

Changes

Collision environment initialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Lazy unpadded environment state moveit_core/planning_scene/include/moveit/planning_scene/planning_scene.hpp	CollisionDetector stores an unpadded parent detector and uses std::once_flag to initialize and cache the unpadded environment.
Parent allocation and concurrency validation moveit_core/planning_scene/src/planning_scene.cpp, moveit_core/planning_scene/test/test_planning_scene.cpp	Parent-based allocation reuses the parent environment. Tests count fresh and copied allocations across nested diffs and concurrent requests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cc8ff

Detached or cloned planning scenes can unnecessarily retain ancestor collision resources because the deferred collision-environment source is not released after detachment. This may increase memory retention, so merge should wait for the cleanup fix or explicit owner acceptance.

so the deferred unpadded parent used by getCollisionEnvUnpadded() can be
released after detachment. Update
moveit_core/planning_scene/src/planning_scene.cpp:270 in decoupleParent() to
clear the upstream detector reference once the scene is detached, while
preserving deferred unpadded-environment creation. Add a regression test in
moveit_core/planning_scene/test/test_planning_scene.cpp:259-279 that clones a
scene, releases the source scene and world, and verifies the clone retains
neither.
