Review of the gRPC initial-solutions wiring. I regenerated the codegen from the modified field_registry.yaml and diffed against cpp/src/grpc/codegen/generated/ — byte-identical, so the generated files are in sync. Wire plumbing is consistent across the unary, chunked, size-estimate and element-size paths, and the client path reaches the new copy.
Four comments below, none of them blocking. The main one is the test coverage: both new Python tests still pass if the feature is reverted.
One item that has no diff line to attach to — cpp/include/cuopt/mathematical_optimization/solve_remote.hpp: initial solutions are now serialized from cpu_optimization_problem_t, but mip_solver_settings_t::initial_solutions and pdlp_solver_settings_t::initial_primal_solution_ have no field_registry.yaml entry. A C++ caller doing settings.add_initial_solution(...); solve_mip_remote(problem, settings); gets a warm start that works locally and is silently dropped remotely. Those members are device_uvector, so serializing them may well be out of scope for the CPU remote path — but a warning or rejection when they are set on a remote solve would beat a silent drop.

Neither of the two new tests can fail if the feature is reverted.
Here the MIP start is x=5, y=5, which is already the unique optimum: maximizing x + 2y under x + y <= 10 and x >= y forces y <= 5, so the solver reaches 15.0 with no warm start at all. The assertion is the same 15.0 that test_mip_submit_and_result already asserts.
test_lp_initial_solution_over_grpc below has the same problem — an all-zero primal/dual start, asserting the same 0.36 as the existing demo-LP test.
I checked this concretely: revert the skip_conversion removal in field_registry.yaml (i.e. remove the feature) and both tests stay green. The C++ mapper round-trip tests do cover the wire format, so this is a gap in end-to-end coverage rather than no coverage — but something should assert the start actually reached the solver. Options: assert on the solver log / incumbent count, or pick a start that changes an observable (e.g. a feasible-but-suboptimal start on a problem where the log shows it as the first incumbent).

This early-out plus the per-array if (!primal.empty()) / if (!dual.empty()) guards below mean an empty array is a no-op rather than a reset, so this function can never clear a previously-set initial solution.
Two consequences, both latent today since every current caller passes a freshly constructed problem:
- Python's
_refresh_data_model_values(problem.py:1843) callsset_initial_primal_solution(np.array([]))specifically to clear a prior warm start. If such a data model is ever populated onto a reusedcpu_optimization_problem_t, the cleared start survives and gets silently re-sent. - Asymmetric within a single call: non-empty primal + empty dual leaves a stale dual in place.
Worth either making empty mean "clear", or documenting that the function is populate-only and requires a fresh problem.

Nit / consistency: the unary path sets unconditionally, while the chunked generator emits an if (!initial_primal_solution.empty()) guard for the same field (see generated_chunked_arrays_to_problem.inc).
No functional difference on a fresh problem — cpu_optimization_problem_t::set_initial_primal_solution explicitly guards its null check with if (size != 0), so the empty case is handled — but it does reach std::copy(p, p, dst) with a p that may be null for an empty vector. Since these files are generated, the fix belongs in generate_conversions.py: emit the same emptiness guard on both paths.

@ramakrishnap-nv thanks, will follow up on feedback in additional PRs since none are blocking. |

MIP initial solutions were defined for gRPC but never wired into the data transfer. This change corrects that oversight.
