Description

This PR removes the temporary pin of core/external/rviz_2d_overlay_plugins at 1.4.0 from repositories/autoware.repos.

• The pin: repositories/autoware.repos#L52-L56

The pin was added because the jazzy deb of rviz_2d_overlay_plugins 1.4.1 had undefined vtables, so every RViz plugin that links it failed to load.

• The pin came from fix(repositories): pin rviz_2d_overlay_plugins to 1.4.0 #7020
• The details are in Decide how core rviz plugins should pin around broken upstream rviz_2d_overlay_plugins 1.4.1 autoware_core#1031

The fixed 1.4.2 is now in apt main for both distros:

Distro	amd64	arm64
jazzy	1.4.2-1noble.20260915.193732	1.4.2-1noble.20260916.104105
humble	1.4.2-1jammy.20260915.231022	1.4.2-1jammy.20260916.135512

So autoware_rviz_plugins gets the library from the deb through rosdep again.

Dependency: the lockfiles

Locked builds (USE_LOCKFILE=true) take the ROS packages from the snapshot date in ansible/vars/locked-versions-*.yaml, not from apt main.

Distro	Snapshot date	rviz_2d_overlay_plugins in the snapshot
jazzy	2026-04-13	1.4.1 (broken)
humble	2026-05-14	1.4.0 (works)

Today the vendored copy hides the broken jazzy deb. So this PR must wait until the jazzy lockfiles move to a snapshot with 1.4.2 (2026-09-11 or later). The lockfile regeneration needs a CI fix first. This PR stays a draft until the lockfile PR merges.

• The CI fix: fix(ci): push the regenerate-lockfiles branch as the App #7355

Existing workspaces

vcs import does not delete. Delete src/core/external/rviz_2d_overlay_plugins by hand, or the vendored 1.4.0 keeps shadowing the deb. That is harmless.

rosdep install does not upgrade a package that is already installed. If a jazzy machine has the 1.4.1 deb, upgrade it with sudo apt install --only-upgrade ros-jazzy-rviz-2d-overlay-plugins.

After this merges

• Decide how core rviz plugins should pin around broken upstream rviz_2d_overlay_plugins 1.4.1 autoware_core#1031 can close.
• The bot PR feat(repositories/autoware.repos): patch update teamspatzenhirn/rviz_2d_overlay_plugins to 1.4.2 #7243 has no value.

AI usage

AI usage: Written with Claude Code in Breeze, from the plan in the issue below.

• Decide how core rviz plugins should pin around broken upstream rviz_2d_overlay_plugins 1.4.1 autoware_core#1031

Self-review: Two review rounds by a separate AI session with a clean context. Both rounds on 228e7bc found the same blocker: the jazzy lockfiles freeze at the 2026-04-13 snapshot, which serves the broken 1.4.1. This PR now waits for the lockfile bump. The second round also asked for the lockfile, deb version, and upgrade notes in this description, which are added.

Verification: The jazzy debs in apt `main` export all four vtables. The 5 dependent `autoware_rviz_plugins` packages build and link against the jazzy deb on amd64 without the vendored copy.

Symbols of the jazzy debs in apt main

• nm -D librviz_2d_overlay_plugins.so from 1.4.2-1noble.20260915.193732 (amd64) and 1.4.2-1noble.20260916.104105 (arm64): all four _ZTVN23rviz_2d_overlay_plugins* vtables are D, including 18OverlayTextDisplayE and 15PieChartDisplayE, which were U in 1.4.1.
• rosdep resolve rviz_2d_overlay_plugins gives ros-humble-rviz-2d-overlay-plugins and ros-jazzy-rviz-2d-overlay-plugins.
• Did not run: the same nm check on the humble debs, because Decide how core rviz plugins should pin around broken upstream rviz_2d_overlay_plugins 1.4.1 autoware_core#1031 already checked humble 1.4.2.

Snapshot versions for the lockfiles

• Read from snapshots.ros.org/<distro>/<date>/.../Packages.gz: jazzy 2026-04-13 serves 1.4.1-1noble.20260412.050605 (amd64) and 1.4.1-1noble.20260412.193720 (arm64). humble 2026-05-14 serves 1.4.0-1jammy.20260422.100043 (amd64) and 1.4.0-1jammy.20260426.014739 (arm64).

Build of the dependent packages against the jazzy deb (amd64)

• Host: Ubuntu 24.04, jazzy, ros-jazzy-rviz-2d-overlay-plugins 1.4.2-1noble.20260903.025214. This is the build of the 2026-09-11 snapshot, not the apt main build in the table. The nm check above ran on the apt main builds. I removed the vendored install/rviz_2d_overlay_* from every path variable.
• colcon build --packages-select autoware_planning_rviz_plugin autoware_overlay_rviz_plugin autoware_topic_text_overlay_rviz_plugin autoware_string_stamped_rviz_plugin autoware_mission_details_overlay_rviz_plugin from autoware_rviz_plugins 0.6.0: Summary: 5 packages finished.
• ldd resolves librviz_2d_overlay_plugins.so to /opt/ros/jazzy/lib/ for all 5 libraries.
• dlopen with RTLD_NOW passed for 4 of them. libautoware_overlay_rviz_plugin.so fails RTLD_NOW on SignalDisplay::updateSmallOverlaySize. That method is declared and never defined. The build with the vendored 1.4.0 fails the same way, so it does not come from this PR. RTLD_LAZY passes for both builds.
• Did not run: RViz or planning_simulator.launch.xml, so no plugin was loaded through pluginlib.
• Did not run: humble and arm64 builds.
• Did not run: the docker builds. run:health-check runs them in CI, without USE_LOCKFILE.
