  • fix metadata type normalization for python-loaded plugins and nested cpp templates
  • always normalize metadata

• build: update setup.py to exclude test packages and add pytest, remove linter tests Remove placeholder linter test files for copyright, flake8, and pep257 in yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager. Update package configurations to use pytest as a test extra and exclude test directories from packages.

• test: replace placeholder tests with linter tests for copyright, flake8, and pep257 in yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager Remove placeholder test files and __init_.py from yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager test directories. Add actual linter test files for copyright, flake8, and pep257 compliance checks.

• test: add placeholder tests to yasmin_cli and yasmin_plugins_manager Remove tests_require from yasmin_cli setup.py to adjust testing dependencies.

• feat(discovery): add env, package.xml and XML-file ignore rules with cache invalidation (#97) Co-authored-by: Maik Knof <<knofm@hs-weingarten.de>>

• Update build configurations and README to include yasmin_pcl package

• Adding state metadata (#95)

  * feat(state): add metadata support with default value injection for blackboard keys Add StateMetadata and BlackboardKeyInfo structures to enable states to declare input and output keys with optional default values. When a state is executed, default values are automatically injected into the blackboard for any missing input keys that have defaults defined. This allows states to declare their dependencies and provide sensible defaults without requiring the blackboard to be pre-populated. Includes Python bindings and comprehensive unit tests.

  * feat: add metadata and defaults support to editor and factory Add description and default value support to the state machine editor GUI and factory. This includes:

  • New DefaultsDialog for editing default blackboard values in the
