feat(cloudxr): default host-client, USB-local on WSS, opt-in client QR

[nv-mhaselton]

Description

CloudXR launcher callers (including camera_viz) host CloudXR.js by default when they start a service: https://<host>:<PROXY_PORT>/client/ (default port 48322). Use --no-host-client for the GitHub Pages client instead. Attaching leaves the running service's hosting unchanged and warns on mismatch (stop that install dir, then rerun the app with the same arguments).

USB-local serves the same /client/ path on the WSS proxy port (no separate HTTPS UI on 8080). Opt-in ASCII QR under the hosted URL via --client-qr / TELEOP_CLIENT_QR=1 (TTY, non-loopback; soft-skip if qrcode is missing). The printed URL uses PROXY_PORT from the attached service env.

camera_viz waits for headset CONNECT by default (display.xr.system_wait_seconds / --xr-wait, default 180); Ctrl-C interrupts that wait. Docs cover default hosting, USB-local on WSS, QR, and XR wait.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CloudXR now hosts CloudXR.js by default and supports explicit --host-client or --no-host-client selection. Attachments recover detached-service settings and report host-client mismatches. The camera example adds --xr-wait, with CLI, YAML, and 180-second default precedence. Documentation and launcher tests cover the updated behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c6a05

The change enables local web-client hosting by default, but the current implementation can print an incorrect client URL for services using a custom proxy port, while supplied configuration examples may fail at runtime and documentation can direct users to unavailable client URLs. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and documentation issues to be fixed.

- Around line 16-18: Update the launch-mode table in
docs/source/references/cloudxr.rst#L16-L18 to make local hosting the default and
identify --no-host-client as the GitHub Pages mode; revise
docs/source/references/camera_streaming.rst#L260-L265 to say the URL is printed
only when hosting is enabled; and update examples/camera_viz/README.md#L61-L70
to direct users to the local URL only when the running CloudXRLauncher service
hosts the client.

In `@src/python/isaacteleop/cloudxr/launcher.py`:
- Around line 293-300: The hosted-client URL announcement currently calls
wss_proxy_port() before _attach() loads the service environment, so it can use
the caller’s PROXY_PORT instead of the resolved service port. Move the
host-client announcement after _attach() completes, preserving the existing URL
formatting and return behavior, and add a regression test using a non-default
PROXY_PORT from --cloudxr-env-config.
