Description
Research and implement a replacement for the current Havok-based navmesh debug display system to eliminate Havok as a dependency from the Second Life viewer.
Details
The Second Life viewer currently requires Havok libraries solely for rendering the navmesh debug display - a feature used primarily by content creators and region developers to visualize pathfinding meshes. This dependency adds a hefty maintenance and open source overhead for a rarely-used feature (The physics extensions package are notoriously annoying to update, and we have to keep havok libs in a private gdrive for TPVs that have signed the havok sublicense.) By converting the navmesh data from Havok's proprietary format to our standard llmesh format (or another general-purpose format) at the simulator level, we can remove this dependency entirely while maintaining the functionality.
Acceptance Criteria
- Havok dependency completely removed from the Second Life viewer codebase
- Navmesh debug display remains functional with equivalent or better visualization quality
- Performance of navmesh visualization is equal to or better than current implementation
- Backward compatibility maintained for regions running older simulator versions
- Documentation updated for the new navmesh format and protocol
