ROS 2 Jazzy's RViz renderer can assign one link's first material to all visuals in that link. Add tools/rviz_urdf_compat.py to move additional visuals into zero-offset fixed child links so each mesh keeps its own material. The script also lightens RS black materials for RViz display and writes the converted URDF to stdout without modifying the source. Document CLI, ROS 2 launch, and MoveIt usage in both READMEs.
