2-D Spacecraft (Modular Floating Platform) Physics Simulation
=============================================================
Pure-NumPy implementation of the rigid-body dynamics described in the RANS
paper, Section III.  This lets the environment run inside Docker containers
without NVIDIA Isaac Gym / Isaac Sim.

State vector: [x, y, θ, vx, vy, ω]
  x, y   — world-frame position  (m)
  θ      — heading / yaw angle   (rad, wrapped to (−π, π])
  vx, vy — world-frame linear velocity   (m/s)
  ω      — angular velocity              (rad/s)

Action: activations ∈ [0, 1]^n_thrusters (continuous) or {0,1}^n (binary).

Dynamics:
  F_body = Σ_i  a_i · F_max_i · d̂_i          (body-frame force vector)
  F_world = R(θ) · F_body
  a_linear  = F_world / m                      (linear acceleration)
  τ_i = (p_i × F_max_i · d̂_i)_z = p_x·d_y − p_y·d_x
  α = Σ_i a_i · τ_i / I                        (angular acceleration)
  Integration: Euler with timestep dt
