cuRobo version installed, so they live in separate environments. See

"""Motion-planner backends for SkillGen.

This branch ships the cuRobo v1 backend only. The package exposes the abstract
:class:`MotionPlannerBase` and the v1 :class:`CuroboPlanner` / :class:`CuroboPlannerCfg`.
Two cuRobo backends ship here, selected by name through :func:`get_planner_backend`:

The planner class is imported lazily so the configuration dataclass and the abstract base can be
loaded in sim-free contexts (e.g. unit tests or CLI argument parsing) without pulling in cuRobo
or Isaac Lab.
* ``"curobo"`` — :class:`CuroboPlanner` / :class:`CuroboPlannerCfg`, built on cuRobo v1.
* ``"curobo_v2"`` — :class:`CuroboV2Planner` / :class:`CuroboV2PlannerCfg`, built on cuRobo v2.

Both implement :class:`MotionPlannerBase` and accept the same profile names, so an entry point
picks a backend without changing any other logic.

Nothing is imported at module load. Both cuRobo versions install under the ``curobo`` package
name at incompatible versions and live in separate environments, so importing a backend that is
not installed would fail. Resolution waits until a backend is requested.

Use a concrete configuration-class type.

The public get_planner_backend return annotation uses bare type. This removes static checking for the from_profile and from_task_name contract documented by the function. Use a concrete union of the v1/v2 configuration classes, or a shared configuration protocol/base type.

As per coding guidelines, public interfaces must use concrete types instead of bare type.
