+Added
+^^^^^
+
+* Added :class:`~isaaclab.utils.warp.ParticleMeshCounter` for fast, training-time counting of
+  particles inside closed (watertight) region meshes via robust winding-number point queries.
+  The counter supports multiple, independently posed region meshes per environment, sanitizes
+  non-finite particle positions, and returns both per-region counts and the per-particle
+  containment mask.
+* Added the :func:`~isaaclab.utils.warp.make_box_region_mesh` and
+  :func:`~isaaclab.utils.warp.make_frustum_region_mesh` helpers for building watertight,
+  outward-oriented region meshes (axis-aligned boxes and capped circular frusta / cup cavities).

+"""Counting particles inside closed meshes using Warp point-mesh queries.
+
+This module provides :class:`ParticleMeshCounter`, a fast, solver-agnostic utility for counting
+how many particles fall inside one or more closed (watertight) *region* meshes. It is intended for
+training-time, privileged measurements such as "how many MPM media particles are inside the scoop
+bowl / the source container / the target container" without relying on hand-tuned analytic regions.
+
+The counter is built on Warp's BVH-accelerated point-mesh query
+(:func:`warp.mesh_query_point_sign_winding_number`): each particle is transformed into a region's
+local frame and tested for containment via the mesh winding number. The winding-number sign method
+is robust for poorly conditioned, non-watertight meshes, which makes it a good default for region
+geometry that is generated procedurally or extracted from USD assets.
+
+Region meshes are static in their own local frame; only their per-environment world (or environment)
+transform changes from step to step, so the BVH is built once and reused. The cost is therefore
+``O(num_envs * num_particles * num_regions)`` queries, each ``O(log(num_faces))`` on the GPU.
+
+The :func:`make_box_region_mesh` and :func:`make_frustum_region_mesh` helpers build watertight,
+outward-oriented region meshes for the two most common regions of interest (axis-aligned boxes and
+capped circular frusta / cup cavities).

+
+    The counter owns one Warp mesh per region and, on every :meth:`count` call, transforms each

+    rotate between calls (e.g. a scoop bowl welded to a gripper); only their transforms are passed
+    in, the geometry is fixed in its local frame.
+
+    Positions and region transforms must be expressed in a *common* frame (typically the per-env
+    frame or the world frame). The counter does not assume any particular frame.
+
+    Note on input layouts: region transforms are region-major (``(num_regions, num_envs, ...)``)
+    while particle positions are env-major (``(num_envs, num_particles, 3)``). Keep this
+    transposition in mind when assembling inputs.

+            is the flattened or ``(num_faces, 3)`` triangle index array. Pre-built meshes are used
+            as-is and must be on :paramref:`device` with winding-number support enabled.

+        max_query_dist: Maximum distance for the closest-point search [m]. Defaults to a large value
