What exactly does Blender's USD exporter write into UsdSkel joints, bindTransforms, restTransforms and blend shapes?

At Blender v5.2.2 (d13f752e) the USD exporter writes Skeleton.joints in pre-order bone-tree order but SkelAnimation.joints in pose-channel order, writes bindTransforms from bone arm_mat and restTransforms from the parent-relative pose matrix when a pose channel exists (so the rest attribute reflects the current pose, not necessarily the rest pose), stores bone lengths as a Skeleton primvar, and authors blend shapes without inbetweens in the files read (static reading). Curator qualifications: Curator question, not resolved: OpenUSD docs call bindTransforms world space, while Blender writes armature-space arm_mat; whether this matters depends on where the Skeleton prim sits under the exported armature transform. Needs an authorised export probe, not asserted as a bug. 'Dense' pointIndices (producer) not confirmed from lines read. Behaviour at other Blender versions not checked. Static reading at pinned commits; no export, import or render run. Limitations: Static reading at pinned commits; no export, import or render run. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
