controller or solver setup before any method-specific checks or solver
branching. Reject values that are not members of IkMethod, including None and
strings, while preserving the existing behavior for valid enum values such as
IkMethod.DAMPED_LEAST_SQUARES.
- Around line 211-213: Update the null_space_damping docstring near the
task_dim-based safety check to describe the implemented active-task-dimension
condition rather than requiring six controlled DOFs, and note that runtime
Jacobian rank must still be sufficient. Keep the documented contract consistent
with the existing implementation.
- Around line 380-386: Update the PSEUDO_INVERSE path in step() so singular
