refactor(envs): move benchmark dispatch into EnvConfig subclasses (#3272)

* docs(benchmarks): add benchmark integration guide and standardize benchmark docs

Add a comprehensive guide for adding new benchmarks to LeRobot, and
refactor the existing LIBERO and Meta-World docs to follow the new
standardized template.

* refactor(envs): move dispatch logic from factory into EnvConfig subclasses

Replace hardcoded if/elif chains in factory.py with create_envs() and
get_env_processors() methods on EnvConfig. New benchmarks now only need
to register a config subclass — no factory.py edits required.

Net -23 lines: factory.py shrinks from ~200 to ~70 lines of logic.

* docs(benchmarks): clean up adding-benchmarks guide for clarity

Rewrite for simpler language, better structure, and easier navigation.
Move quick-reference table to the top, fold eval explanation into
architecture section, condense the doc template to a bulleted outline.

* fix link

* fix task count

* fix(tests): fix 3 failing dispatch tests

- test_registry_all_types: skip non-EnvConfig stubs (e.g. TestPluginConfig)
- test_processors_delegation: use None instead of abstract PreTrainedConfig
- test_custom_get_env_processors_override: use DataProcessorPipeline for isinstance check (PolicyProcessorPipeline is a subscripted generic)

* fix: enable SmolVLA eval on LIBERO with custom camera mappings

- Thread camera_name_mapping from LiberoEnv config through to gym envs
- Sync features_map with camera_name_mapping in LiberoEnv.__post_init__
- Fix render() to use first available camera instead of hardcoded "image"
- Handle non-dict final_info in rollout by falling back to info["is_success"]
- Add use_peft legacy field to SmolVLAConfig for checkpoint compat
- Add defaults to GR00TN15Config init=False fields for transformers 5.3

Made-with: Cursor

* fix: use direct AutoresetMode import for gymnasium compat

Made-with: Cursor

* fix: handle gymnasium < 1.0 without AutoresetMode

Made-with: Cursor

* refactor: revert policy changes, keep env-only camera mapping fixes

- Revert GR00T N1.5 default_factory/default changes (transformers compat)
- Revert SmolVLA use_peft legacy field
- Apply ruff formatting fixes
- camera_name_mapping stays entirely in env/eval layer (no policy changes)

### Factory Function
The `make_env_pre_post_processors` function follows the same pattern as `make_pre_post_processors` for policies:
The `make_env_pre_post_processors` function delegates to `env_cfg.get_env_processors()`:

### Implementation in `envs/factory.py`
### How It Works
Each `EnvConfig` subclass can override `get_env_processors()` to return benchmark-specific
processor pipelines. The base class returns identity (no-op) processors by default.
```python
def make_env_pre_post_processors(
env_cfg: EnvConfig,
) -> tuple[
PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
]:
"""
Create preprocessor and postprocessor pipelines for environment observations.
Args:
env_cfg: The configuration of the environment.
Returns:
A tuple containing:
- preprocessor: Pipeline that processes environment observations
- postprocessor: Pipeline that processes environment outputs
"""
# For LIBERO environments, add the LiberoProcessorStep to preprocessor
if isinstance(env_cfg, LiberoEnv) or "libero" in env_cfg.type:
preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[LiberoProcessorStep()])
else:
# For all other environments, return an identity preprocessor
preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
# Postprocessor is currently identity for all environments
# Future: Could add environment-specific action transformations
postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
return preprocessor, postprocessor
# In your EnvConfig subclass:
def get_env_processors(self):
from lerobot.processor.pipeline import PolicyProcessorPipeline
return (
PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[MyProcessorStep()]),
PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[]),
)
```
The factory function `make_env_pre_post_processors` simply delegates to this method,
with a special case for `XVLAConfig` policies which override the env processors entirely.
