✨ Overview & highlights

Fixes to .rrd Chunk handling.

We revised our Chunk slicing logic to prevent .rrd files ballooning in sizes. This also fixes the problem of broken .rrd files that contain tensors.

Collada (.dae) mesh support.

This patch adds native support for Collada (.dae) meshes, a common format used with URDF files. You can now load URDFs that reference .dae assets without manual mesh conversion!
