Summary

Comprehensive overhaul of the articulation editing workflow, addressing all items from #10.

Changes

  • Smart Naming: contextual auto-names (Geom_Box, HingeJoint, etc.) replace AUTONAME_ prefix
  • Component Reference Dropdowns: actuator targets, sensor references, contact pairs, equalities, body child class, and default class — all via filtered dropdown pickers instead of string typing
  • Unified Detail Panel: all MuJoCo properties grouped under a single MuJoCo| category tree, internal properties hidden, 11 detail customizations
  • Default Class System: ClassName and ParentClassName auto-synced from SCS hierarchy at compile time. Defaults processed in parent-before-child order.
  • Material Override: OverrideMaterial property for primitive geom visualizers
  • Auto-Parenting: sensors, actuators, defaults, tendons, contacts, equalities auto-move to organizational folders
  • Custom Editor Icons: 23 distinct 16x16 icons with color coding per type
  • MuJoCo Outliner: dockable filtered tree view with BP selector, type filters, search, and selection sync
  • New Documentation: Articulation Builder Guide covering building from scratch, editing, and all new features

Closes #10

Articulation Builder QoL & UX improvements (#10)
aa88654 
Replace custom detail panel dropdowns with native meta=(GetOptions) on
UPROPERTY declarations. This fixes duplicate category sections caused by
EditCategory with pipe-separated subcategories and removes the need for
FMjComponentRefHelper and the separate MjGeomDetailCustomization.

Detail customizations now only hide internal properties (DefaultClass
pointers, synced ClassName fields). Geom keeps CoACD decomposition
buttons via EditCategory on a dedicated Decomposition subcategory.
