This PR updates the documentation and header comments for the mjs_addDefault function to clarify its correct usage. It now explicitly states that only one unnamed default is allowed at the top level, and all other defaults should be named by passing a non-null classname. Example usage is also provided.
This is in regard to issue #2707
Changes:
Added a descriptive comment and example usage for mjs_addDefault in:
references.h
mujoco.h
user_api.h
Clarifies that only one unnamed default is allowed at the top level.
Shows how to use named and unnamed defaults correctly.
Motivation:
This change helps prevent user errors and invalid XML generation by making the API contract explicit in the documentation and headers. It addresses confusion around unnamed defaults and ensures users follow MuJoCo’s requirements for default classes.
Checklist:
Documentation updated
Example usage provided
No breaking changes to API
