This provides several minor improvements to the documentation. It mostly polishes and fixes some minor things.
A notable changes is regarding the "Optimality" documentation that now refers to ANytime planning and suggest using it when no optimality guarantee is needed.
The other important change is to the contributors guide that is now much more complete.
The most controversial thing is the addition of a
justfile
at the root of the repository that should aim at documenting, making discoverable and easily accessible the various commands taht are useful to interact with the code base.just is command line utility that you can think of as a much better
make
. If you haven't used it I strongly suggest giving it a try.Even without using it the justfile is useful in centralizing the different commands (without going into the CI configuration as I usually have to do).
The objective of the PR is not to generalize the usage of just but if there is consensus that it is a desirable thing it could be be extended (e.g. for running the tests) and used in CI to avoid duplication.
