feat(anim): IK chain authoring with viewport handles (#560) - #1155
Closes#560. The 2-bone solver, FK↔IK influence, bake and undo already shipped with the constraints work (#525). This PR adds the authoring workflow that was still missing.
What's new
Create IK chain (Constraints panel, shown for a bone owner; MCP create_ik_chain {owner, pole?, target_position?, pole_position?}) puts an IK constraint on the end bone and creates:
an orange target handle at the hand or foot;
a cyan pole handle on the side the elbow or knee already bends to. A straight limb gets knees forward and elbows back.
The pose does not change until a handle is moved. Creating a chain is one undo step, including the handles.
Handles are ordinary scene nodes with a small sphere, drawn through the character, so the gizmo, the Scene tree and node animation all work on them. They are editor-only:
scene export skips them;
they are stored in the constraints document and sidecar (handles), so undo/redo, removing a constraint and re-importing a file create or destroy them consistently. A handle restored by undo comes back where the user left it.
Selecting a handle shows its chain in the panel.
Joint limits under IK: a Limit-rotation constraint on the IK's root or middle bone used to run before the IK (depth order), so the solve overrode it. It is now re-applied after the solve.
"Create IK chain" on an end bone (Constraints panel / MCP create_ik_chain)
creates an orange target handle at the hand/foot and a cyan pole handle on
the side the elbow/knee already bends to, plus the 2-bone IK constraint, as
one undo step. Nothing moves until a handle is dragged.
- Handles are editor-only scene nodes (reserved sphere mesh): scene export
skips them; they live in the constraints document and sidecar (`handles`)
so undo/redo, removal and re-import create/destroy them consistently.
- Selecting a handle shows its chain in the panel.
- Limit-rotation on the IK's root/mid bone is re-applied after the solve
(it ran before the IK in depth order and was overridden).
- Breadcrumbs scene.skel.ik.create|handle|error.
- Tests: pure pole placement + scene cases (no pose change on create,
target reach, pole side, FK<->IK blend, undo incl. handles, removal +
undo position, joint limits under IK, sidecar round trip, bake, errors).
Closes#560

Walkthrough
The editor can create two-bone IK chains with target and optional pole handles. Handle positions and animation tracks are included in constraint documents and sidecars. The change adds MCP chain creation, handle selection and cleanup behavior, and exclusion of handles from scene export.
Changes: IK Chain Authoring
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Create and evaluate IK chains qml/ConstraintsPanel.qml, src/AnimConstraints.*, src/ConstraintManager.*, src/AnimConstraints_test.cpp, src/ConstraintManager_test.cpp
The panel creates a two-bone IK chain for a bone owner. The manager creates target and optional pole handles, and pole placement follows the current bend or uses fallback directions. IK evaluation reapplies root and middle-bone rotation limits. Tests cover solving, influence blending, baking, and validation.
Persist and reconcile handles src/ConstraintManager.*, src/ConstraintManager_test.cpp, src/MeshImporterExporter.cpp, docs/ANIM_CONSTRAINTS.md, CLAUDE.md
Constraint documents and sidecars store referenced handle metadata and animation tracks. Loading remaps colliding handle names, and cleanup removes unreferenced managed handles. Selecting a handle resolves its chain owner. Scene export excludes handle nodes.
Expose chain creation through MCP src/MCPServer.*, src/AICapabilityRegistry.cpp
The MCP server registers create_ik_chain, validates its arguments, creates and evaluates the chain, and returns the handles and constraint.

IK chain authoring looks mergeable. The remaining issues are rare edge cases (short bone segments, renamed parents on import, name reuse after undo) plus a weak test assertion. Fix the clamp guard and the parent remap if convenient.

Explanation
[#560] ConstraintManager and the Constraints panel add chain authoring, handles, blending, limits, undo, and breadcrumbs. Tests cover solving, pole direction, blending, and baking a pose. The keep-IK export stores metadata in a sidecar, not the required glTF extras. The PR also uses ConstraintManager instead of the requested IKChainController singleton.

if (ConstraintManager::isHandleNode(sn)) // editor-only IK handle (#560)
continue;
Persist animated handle tracks when saving the scene
When an IK target or pole is keyframed and the scene is exported without baking, excluding its node here also excludes its animation channels: buildNodeClipAnimations() only retains tracks whose targets appear in exportedNodeNames. The constraints sidecar stores only each handle's current position and radius, and the scene-export path does not write a node-animation sidecar for these handles. Reopening the saved scene therefore silently loses the authored handle animation and replaces the animated IK motion with a static target. Preserve the handle tracks in the sidecar or export transform-only handle nodes without their geometry.
Snapshot handle animation before destroying its node
If a user keyframes an IK handle, removes its constraint, and then undoes the removal, the handle returns but its animation is permanently lost. Manager::destroySceneNode() emits sceneNodeDestroyed, which makes NodeAnimationManager::onSceneNodeDestroyed() delete all tracks targeting that handle and potentially their clips. The removal command snapshots only the constraints document and handle positions, so undo cannot restore those tracks. Include the affected animation data in the removal's undo snapshot and restore it after recreating the handles.
if (Ogre::SceneNode* existing = nodeByName(name)) {
// Keep it where the user left it; adopt a handle we lost track of.
if (isHandleNode(existing)) m_handles.insert(name, role);
continue;
Remap colliding handle names when importing another asset
When importing two independently exported characters with the same bone names, both sidecars can name their handles IK_End_target and IK_End_pole, because handle names are derived only from the bone name. Reusing existing nodes here binds the second character's constraints to the first character's handles and discards the second sidecar's positions. loadSidecar() remaps entity references but does not allocate or remap handle names. Allocate distinct handles for a different imported owner and rewrite its target/pole references, while retaining reuse for an actual reload of the same chain.
if (args.contains("target_position")) place(r.target, targetPos);
if (args.contains("pole_position")) place(r.pole, polePos);
Capture optional MCP placement in the creation undo command
When create_ik_chain receives target_position or pole_position, these placements happen after createIkChain() has already pushed its undo command with the default handle positions. Undoing and redoing this tool call consequently recreates the chain at the defaults rather than the requested positions, changing the resulting pose. Apply the supplied positions before capturing the command's after-document so redo reproduces the original tool result.
…p colliding handles (#560)
Addresses the Codex review on #1155:
- Handle node-animation tracks are stored in the constraints document
(`handles[].tracks`). Destroying a handle node makes NodeAnimationManager
drop its tracks, so undoing a chain removal and Open Scene now recreate
the keys with the handle.
- Importing a sidecar whose handle names another chain already uses creates
suffixed handles and rewrites the incoming target/pole references;
reloading the same chain still reuses the existing handles.
- create_ik_chain applies target_position/pole_position inside
createIkChain, before the undo step is recorded, so redo reproduces them.
- Sonar: split the joint-limit reapply and the handle->chain lookup out of
deep nesting; one exportableSceneEntity helper for both export loops.

Review comments at @src/AnimConstraints.cpp:
- Around line 282-284: Update the near-straight-chain fallback around dir and
offAxis to preserve the existing bend direction when it is usable, rather than
choosing the pole solely from axis.dotProduct(up). Use the facing-based fallback
only when the existing bend direction is degenerate.
Review comments at @src/ConstraintManager.cpp:
- Line 1505: Update the existing-clip handling in ConstraintManager to restore
the saved enabled state for reconstructed shared clips, including clips that
animate both an entity node and an IK handle. Ensure this does not reset or
otherwise alter unrelated active clips.
- Around line 1488-1495: Update the imported-clip identity logic around
hasAnimation and createClip so unrelated incoming clips with the same name, such
as separate characters’ Reach clips, receive distinct animation identities. Keep
tracks belonging to the same incoming clip grouped under one identity, and
preserve the existing length handling for that clip.
- Around line 1135-1142: Update the reload logic around the sameChain check in
ConstraintManager to recognize and reuse handles previously remapped to avoid
collisions. Reconcile saved handle names with the existing chain for the same
owner before creating handles or constraints, preserving the existing remapping
and preventing duplicate pairs or constraints on reload.
- Around line 332-334: Update the handle-reference collection loop in
ConstraintManager so constraint owners are counted alongside target and pole
references when deciding which handles to retain and serialize. Use the owner
representation available in the constraint data, preserving the existing
filtering behavior for target and pole references.
- Around line 1309-1312: Update the handle lookup near the `std::find_if` and
`formatRef` call to consider only IK constraints that reference the handle, so
an earlier unrelated constraint cannot determine the selected owner stack. Add a
regression test with an unrelated reference before the matching IK constraint
and verify that selection resolves to the IK chain.
- Around line 1613-1614: Update the chain validation before handle creation to
reject either zero-length segment individually, rather than only rejecting a
near-zero total chain length. Keep the existing threshold and failure path, and
use the zero-length-segment error message in the validation.
- Around line 456-458: The post-IK loop applies fractional `Type::LimitRotation`
constraints a second time, causing an extra influence blend. Update the post-IK
limit handling around `applyLocal` and `writeLocal` to enforce limits without
applying their fractional influence again; preserve the single blend from the
existing evaluation and ensure limits remain enforced after IK.
- Around line 1187-1188: Update the sidecar import remapping logic near the
`c.target` and `c.pole` assignments to remap constraint owners with the same
`renHandle` transformation, so renamed handle collisions keep constraints
attached to the imported handle.
- Around line 1433-1438: Update the handle serialization and restoration flow
around handleTracksJson to persist the handle’s parent relationship alongside
its animation data. On undo or recreation, restore the target under the original
parent before applying its local animation keys so its world-space trajectory
and IK pose remain unchanged; reuse the existing parent representation and
restoration mechanisms where available.
- Around line 1104-1105: Update the Ogre XML export branch to call
writeConstraintSidecar so exported IK chains retain their constraints, handle
positions, and handle animation when reopened. Locate the export branch near the
handlesJson serialization and preserve the existing JSON export behavior.
- Line 1548: Update the handle-removal path using
SelectionSet::getSingletonPtr() so it removes only selection entries associated
with the destroyed handle and its contents, rather than calling clear() on the
entire SelectionSet; preserve selections for unrelated objects.
- Around line 1494-1495: When `ConstraintManager` extends a reconstructed
animation through `Ogre::Animation::setLength`, also extend the existing
`AnimationState` for that clip to the restored handle-track length so playback
can reach later keys. Locate the animation-state lookup or update near this
`getAnimation` branch and preserve existing state behavior when no extension is
needed.
- Around line 1569-1574: Update the restoration flow around nodeByName and
createHandleFromJson so an occupied name belonging to an ordinary node results
in recreating the handle under an available name and remapping its constraint
references to that name. Preserve the existing behavior of adopting a node
identified by isHandleNode and keeping it in place.
- Line 1619: Update solveTwoBone’s full-reach handling so a target at the
chain’s exact maximum reach preserves a straight pose instead of being clamped
inward and bending the middle joint; keep the existing stable behavior for
targets below or beyond full reach. The default target is set in the
createHandle call using targetPos.value_or(C).
- Around line 1547-1549: Update the handle-deletion flow around isHandleNode and
mgr->destroySceneNode to preserve user-owned child nodes and their world
transforms before destroying the handle. Record enough hierarchy and transform
state in the existing undo path to restore those children under the recreated
handle, while leaving handle-owned children and the existing ownership guard
unchanged.
- Around line 1528-1529: Validate the MCP position components and sidecar radius
for finiteness and float-range bounds before converting them or applying them to
the handle node with setPosition and setScale. Report invalid input and stop
chain creation when any value fails validation; do not create a handle with an
infinite transform.
- Around line 1630-1632: Update the character-deletion cleanup path that removes
constraints created through add, where c.target.object is assigned from
r.target, to remove the deleted character’s IK constraints and associated
handle-only animation clips. Remove a handle only when no remaining constraint
or animation references it, so shared handles are preserved.
Review comments at @src/MCPServer.cpp:
- Around line 15582-15584: Update the transform_mesh handle-movement flow to
evaluate constraints affected by the moved IK target or pole before returning.
Reuse the existing constraint evaluation mechanism so an immediate save_pose
captures the updated limb pose.
Review comments at @src/MeshImporterExporter.cpp:
- Around line 5155-5159: Update both single-node exporter overloads to reject
nodes identified by ConstraintManager::isHandleNode before serializing them, so
neither the dialog nor the API can export IK-handle geometry; keep the
exportableSceneEntity check consistent with this behavior.

Not changing this one. A rename here would make the constraints document diverge from the one the undo command holds, so later undo/redo steps would reference names that no longer exist. Reaching this case needs a user to create a node with the exact reserved handle name between undo and redo; the existing behaviour (keep the reference, never destroy or adopt a user's node) is the safer failure.

…eview (#560)
CI: reloading a sidecar whose handle names another chain already uses
created a second pair of handles and a duplicate constraint
(ImportingACharacterWithTheSameBoneNamesGetsItsOwnHandles). A loaded chain
is now recognised by owner + type + slot, whatever its handles are called.
Review fixes:
- handles that OWN a constraint are kept and saved;
- handle owner refs are remapped on import too;
- an imported character's handle clips get their own clip instead of
merging into an unrelated same-named one; a shared clip rebuilt by Open
Scene is extended (animation AND state) and keeps its saved play state;
- the handle's parent is saved and restored, so local keys keep their path;
- destroying a handle keeps unrelated selection and moves user children up
(world transform kept) instead of deleting them;
- selecting a handle resolves to its IK chain, not an earlier reference;
- limit-rotation on an IK's joints is deferred until after the solve, so a
fractional limit blends once;
- solveTwoBone allows full extension (a straight chain no longer bends on
creation); defaultPolePosition keeps any measurable existing bend;
- zero-length segments and non-finite placements (MCP / sidecar) rejected;
- transform_mesh evaluates constraints before returning;
- handle nodes cannot be exported on their own; Ogre XML export writes the
constraints sidecar.

…ult (#1156)
AFractionalJointLimitBlendsOnceUnderIk (from #1155) failed on Linux CI:
it compared against the pose shown before the chain existed, but a
fractional limit is not idempotent — the chain's target is placed at the
already-limited end bone, the IK reproduces that pose, and the limit then
blends on it again (10 -> 15 degrees here). That is inherent to a partial
limit, not a bug.
What the deferral in #1155 guarantees is that the limit blends once per
evaluation, on the IK result, instead of also on the pre-IK pose the IK
blends from (visible with IK influence < 1). The test now checks exactly
that: half-strength IK, then a half-strength limit whose range is derived
from the solved angle, compared with blend(noLimit, clamp(noLimit), 0.5).

Persist animated handle tracks when saving the scene
Remap colliding handle names when importing another asset

Closes #560. The 2-bone solver, FK↔IK influence, bake and undo already shipped with the constraints work (#525). This PR adds the authoring workflow that was still missing.
What's new
Create IK chain (Constraints panel, shown for a bone owner; MCP
create_ik_chain {owner, pole?, target_position?, pole_position?}) puts an IK constraint on the end bone and creates:The pose does not change until a handle is moved. Creating a chain is one undo step, including the handles.
Handles are ordinary scene nodes with a small sphere, drawn through the character, so the gizmo, the Scene tree and node animation all work on them. They are editor-only:
handles), so undo/redo, removing a constraint and re-importing a file create or destroy them consistently. A handle restored by undo comes back where the user left it.Selecting a handle shows its chain in the panel.
Joint limits under IK: a Limit-rotation constraint on the IK's root or middle bone used to run before the IK (depth order), so the solve overrode it. It is now re-applied after the solve.
