Designing a LiDAR pipeline for AGV localization and obstacle detection

We want one 2D LiDAR stream to support localization while a separate layer handles obstacles. How should the pipeline be divided so changes to obstacle filtering do not destabilize localization?

Keep the original scan topic immutable and branch it into separately configured consumers. Localization can use a conservative static-scene filter while obstacle detection uses its own range, persistence and footprint rules.

Version the transform tree and both filter configurations together. During acceptance testing, replay the same recorded route through each pipeline so a parameter change can be compared objectively.
