Description

Remove the dict-based legacy edge API of newton.utils.MeshAdjacency, deprecated in 1.4.0 by #3194 when the class was unified on the vectorized representation:

  • MeshAdjacency.edges dict accessor and its MeshAdjacency.Edge record class. Read the edge_indices ([o0, o1, v0, v1] rows) and edge_tri_indices arrays instead.
  • MeshAdjacency.add_edge incremental shim. Construct a MeshAdjacency with edge_indices instead.
  • The indices constructor argument (alias for tri_indices), deprecated in the same batch. Pass tri_indices instead.

All internal code already uses the vectorized arrays, so no call sites needed migration. Accessing the removed attributes now raises AttributeError, and passing indices= raises TypeError, matching previous deprecated API removals (e.g. #3623).

Closes #3514

Checklist

  • New or existing tests cover these changes
  • The documentation is up to date with these changes
  • For user-facing changes, a fragment has been added by following the
    changelog fragment instructions

Test plan

uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k mesh_adjacency            # 8 tests OK, includes new test_mesh_adjacency_legacy_api_removed
uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k test_model                # 175 tests OK
uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k test_collision_pipeline   # 2 pre-existing failures, see note

test_mesh_adjacency_legacy_api_removed fails without this change and passes with it. The two test_collision_pipeline failures (TestFullSurfaceSoftContact.test_eval_shape_sdf_mirrored_mesh_scale_preserves_sign_cuda_0 and test_optimize_against_mesh_texture_sdf_cuda_0) reproduce on clean main at c82ed83 and are unrelated to this change.

New feature / API change

import newton

adj = newton.utils.MeshAdjacency(tri_indices)

# Before (removed):
#   for (v0, v1), e in adj.edges.items():
#       use e.o0, e.o1, e.f0, e.f1
# Now:
#   rows of adj.edge_indices are [o0, o1, v0, v1]
#   rows of adj.edge_tri_indices are [f0, f1]

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes
    • Removed deprecated MeshAdjacency dictionary access, Edge records, and add_edge method.
    • Removed the deprecated indices constructor argument.
    • Use edge_indices, edge_tri_indices, and tri_indices instead.
  • Documentation
    • Added changelog entries describing the removed APIs and migration guidance.
  • Tests
    • Updated coverage to validate the supported array-based API and confirm deprecated interfaces are unavailable.

Remove the legacy dict-based edge API deprecated in 1.4.0 (newton-physics#3194):

- the `edges` dict accessor and its `Edge` record class,
- the `add_edge` incremental shim,
- the `indices` constructor alias for `tri_indices`.

The vectorized edge_indices / edge_tri_indices / tri_edge_indices
arrays are the only representation now; all internal callers already
use them. Rework the deprecation tests into assertions that the
legacy surface is gone.

Closes newton-physics#3514

test_mesh_adjacency_public claimed construction from triangle indices
emits no warning, but nothing asserted it. Wrap the constructor call in
warnings.catch_warnings() with simplefilter("error") so the supported
path is guarded against a regression that reintroduces a
DeprecationWarning, and drop the comment that merely restated the call.

Addresses a CodeRabbit review nitpick.

@coderabbitai The nitpick on test_mesh_adjacency_public (newton/tests/test_model.py:834) is addressed in 1da90ad. The construction call is now wrapped in warnings.catch_warnings() with simplefilter("error"), turning the previously unasserted "no warning" claim into a real assertion, and the comment that merely restated the call was removed. Please take another look.

Thanks, Anka — this is a clean, well-scoped removal of the legacy dict path, with focused regression coverage and clear migration fragments.

Overall, I think the released deprecation cycle is satisfied for MeshAdjacency.edges, add_edge, and indices=: they warned beginning in 1.4, remained functional through 1.5/1.5.1, and are being removed on the 1.6 development branch. The removal fragments correctly use ‘Remove’ wording and point users to edge_indices / edge_tri_indices / tri_indices; the migration guidance looks appropriate.

I also refreshed IsaacLab develop at 8c3bc5e8e8dd4553fa160a11836e90922832c968 and found no tracked use of MeshAdjacency, MeshAdjacency.Edge, .edges, .add_edge(), or MeshAdjacency(indices=...). IsaacLab currently pins newton[sim]==1.5.1, so this confirms source-level non-reliance on these APIs rather than general Newton 1.6 qualification.

Focused host validation at this PR head passed: uv run --extra dev -m newton.tests -k mesh_adjacency (8/8). The hosted checks are green and there are no existing review threads. I left two inline comments: one question about possible independent construction of the nested Edge record, and one non-blocking test-docstring suggestion where the test name does not capture the specific behavior. I found no other correctness or project-fit concerns.

The .edges deprecation reasonably covers this record for normal accessor users, and the migration guidance here looks appropriate. Are you aware of any downstream users constructing MeshAdjacency.Edge(...) independently? Direct construction did not emit its own warning, so confirming there are no known users would help justify treating the record class as part of the accessor's 1.4 deprecation.

Suggestion: could you add a short test docstring here? test_mesh_adjacency_public does not make the warning-free construction and eager vectorized-table behavior obvious from its name alone; an imperative one-line summary would make that contract clearer.

State the test's contract in a one-line docstring: public construction
is warning-free and eagerly builds the vectorized edge tables. Remove
the now-redundant inline comment that repeated the eager-tables point.

Addresses a review suggestion from jcarius-nv.
