ENH: registrar/segmenter factories, Tutorial 00

[aylward]

• tutorials/parameters_*.py: replace raw greedy-iteration fields with registration_class + registrar()/segmenter() factory methods that return a ready-tuned registrar/segmenter per anatomy
• Update lung/heart tutorials (01-13) to use the new factories instead of constructing RegisterImagesGreedy/segmenters by hand
• Add tutorials/tutorial_00_lung_demo.ipynb: self-contained demo that downloads Chest-CT and a pretrained PhysicsNeMo-MGN-Lung-Motion checkpoint and predicts lung motion end-to-end with no prior tutorial run
• process_transforms.py/workflow_infer_movement.py: add restrict_deformation_field_to_normal_falloff_outside_mask for the cardiac/respiratory slip-interface split used by Tutorial 13
• workflow_convert_vtk_to_usd.py: fix mesh-path lookup to use the sanitized data_basename instead of the raw usd_project_name
• Document Tutorial 00 in docs/index.rst, docs/tutorials.rst, and tutorials/README.md; fix Tutorial 3's stale RegisterImagesGreedy() snippet
• pyproject.toml: drop two dangling tutorial_08/09_lung_all mypy override entries with no matching files

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added a standalone lung-motion tutorial using Chest CT data and a pretrained model, including animated USD export.
  • Added optional exterior-mask handling to constrain and smoothly fade deformation near organ boundaries.
  • Added setup guidance and streamlined tutorial configuration for segmentation and registration workflows.

• Bug Fixes

  • Corrected USD output handling for project names containing hyphens.
  • Updated lung inference outputs to use consistent project naming.

• Documentation

  • Expanded tutorial navigation, recommended run order, requirements, outputs, and adaptation guidance.

Walkthrough

The PR adds normal-direction deformation falloff, centralizes tutorial segmentation and registration setup, adds Tutorial 00 documentation, updates tutorial scripts, and fixes sanitized USD root-prim lookup.

Changes

Motion processing and workflow integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deformation restriction pipeline src/monai_physio/process_transforms.py, tutorials/tutorial_13_heart_and_lung_motion.py, tests/test_process_transforms.py	Smoothing now spreads the full displacement field. A separate method applies normal projection, direction transition, and distance falloff outside binary masks. Tests cover radial preservation, tangential suppression, and falloff decay.
Workflow integration and validation src/monai_physio/workflow_infer_movement.py, src/monai_physio/workflow_convert_vtk_to_usd.py, tests/test_workflow_convert_vtk_to_usd.py	Movement inference accepts exterior-mask and falloff parameters. USD post-processing uses the converter’s sanitized root prim name. Tests cover hyphenated project names and material binding.

Tutorial configuration and documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dataset configuration factories tutorials/parameters_*.py	Parameter modules replace Greedy-specific fields and greedy_iterations() with registrar() and segmenter() factories. The factories set registration schedules, the CC metric, and fast segmentation mode.
Tutorial configuration migration tutorials/tutorial_01_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_02_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_03_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_04_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_06_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_07_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_08_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_10_*.py, tutorials/tutorial_12_*.py	Tutorials use dataset-provided factories instead of direct segmenter and registrar construction. Tutorial 12 reads PCA inputs from the Tutorial 9 checkpoint directory.
Tutorial 00 documentation docs/index.rst, docs/tutorials.rst, tutorials/README.md	The documentation adds a standalone lung-motion demo with automatic Chest-CT and pretrained-checkpoint downloads, workflow instructions, requirements, outputs, and launch guidance.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 67172

Custom deformation settings can generate incorrect motion fields, and existing tutorial caches can silently reuse labels from the replaced segmenter. Resolve these issues before merging; the documentation corrections should also be included so Tutorial 00 remains runnable as described.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/tutorials.rst`:
- Around line 311-313: Update the model_dir adaptation guidance near the
Tutorial 9 reference to apply only to compatible lung checkpoints, or document
that pca_model.json and pca_mean_surface.vtp must be present and that the lung
segmenter and anatomy_type configuration must also change for another anatomy.

In `@src/monai_physio/process_transforms.py`:
- Around line 844-845: In the transform calculation before the direction and
falloff ramps, validate direction_offset_mm is finite and require
direction_transition_mm and falloff_distance_mm to be finite and greater than
zero; raise ValueError for invalid inputs, then preserve the existing ramp
calculations using the validated widths.
- Around line 816-820: Update the grid validation around the normals and mask
shape check to compare size, spacing, origin, and direction metadata for
normal_image and mask against field, not just array shapes. Reject any mismatch
before applying the mask or computing distances, while preserving the existing
ValueError behavior and diagnostic context.

In `@tutorials/README.md`:
- Line 28: Update the “Running a Tutorial” section in tutorials/README.md to
distinguish tutorial_00_lung_demo.ipynb as a Jupyter notebook, and document the
appropriate jupyter notebook command for launching it while preserving the
existing Python-script instructions for the other tutorials.

In `@tutorials/tutorial_02_lung_distancemap_finetune_icon.py`:
- Line 168: Update the cache-key or cache-invalidation logic for Segmenter
usage: in tutorials/tutorial_02_lung_distancemap_finetune_icon.py at lines
168-168, invalidate stale distance-map and lung-labelmap caches when the backend
changes; in tutorials/tutorial_02_lung_finetune_icon.py at lines 240-240,
invalidate stale labelmap caches. Include segmenter provenance in the relevant
keys or clear the old cache directories before reuse.
