Description

Originally posted by @Timple in https://github.com/ros2/geometry2/pull/634#discussion_r1728860271

Calling sendTransform with different values but the same frame_ids get ignored since: https://github.com/ros2/geometry2/pull/634

This is a regression from iron to jazzy.


Update https://github.com/ros2/geometry2/pull/705#issuecomment-2332967838

The C++ API should not allow static transforms to be overritten.

Research direction

Review the original report and the update linked from PR #705, then inspect the current static-transform API behavior in geometry2. Resolve whether rejecting overwrites is the intended C++ contract; the issue is complete when that behavior and any required change are unambiguously defined and verified.
