This PR introduces changes to improve the latency to the first incumbent, along with a unified solution publication object to ensure user callbacks receive a new incumbent as soon as it is found.

Also included are scaffolding changes to prepare for the coming CPUFJ primal integral improvements:

Highway (SIMD library) integration + THIRD-PARTY-LICENCE changes
run_mip.cpp harness changes to log incumbents as received by the user callback
Common util functions (e.g. numerically compensated dot product)
This PR will be the first of a series of 4-5 PRs destined to merge the primal integral improvements into main.

Benchmark results are neutral. This is scaffolding that will matter for the coming PRs

Route B&B, population, local-search and reduced-problem incumbents through a
single mutex-protected solution_publication_t, published from the producing
path instead of waiting for population polling. One objective floor, user-space
assignments rebuilt on a private stream.

Cache semi-continuous presence on both optimization problems so the common
no-SC path skips a device inspection. Cap related-variable construction at 2s
and skip it for the fixed-variable derivative that never reads it.

Affinity-aware CPU counts and low-allocation system-file parsing in the startup
banner; add Highway 1.4.0, which the banner's SIMD target field reports.
The existing early CPUFJ only ran once solve_mip_helper had built the GPU
problem and entered presolve. Construct it directly from the optimization
problem in solve_mip instead, publish through the user callbacks from there,
and stop it as soon as the main solve reaches print_version_info. Its incumbent
is adopted as the early-heuristic best so the later heuristics do not republish
worse points and it still reaches the initial bound and the end-of-solve
fallback.

Skipped on semi-continuous models: reformulation only happens inside
solve_mip_helper, so the probe would search a relaxation admitting 0 < x < L.
Extract the row/bound/integrality checks into row_audit.hpp and have the
benchmark validate every reported incumbent in the space the user handed in,
after uncrush, rather than trusting the solver's own view. Reports print
atomically so parallel lanes no longer interleave, and integer variables are
required to be exactly integral.

Build cuopt_static when MIP benchmarks are requested without tests, which
needs BUILD_MIP_BENCHMARKS declared with the other options rather than beside
the benchmark targets.

The solver may publish invalid incumbents or mishandle early incumbents after scaling, while the new benchmark path can record failed or unavailable measurements as results. These issues should be fixed before merge.

execution does not emit default heuristic field values as measured metrics. When

Check the CUDA error at startup.

If cudaFree(0) fails during CUDA runtime initialization, (void) discards the error and execution can continue to later solver calls, which obscures the root cause. Use the repository-required CUDA error wrapper.

Do not report default benchmark_info values on the C-API path.

Because use_c_api is true, the pointer assignment is excluded and the C API branch cannot populate the local benchmark_info. Its heuristic fields remain at 0 or std::numeric_limits<double>::max(), then appear in logs and CSV output as measured values. Guard these fields or expose equivalent C API metrics. The root-LP fields already use NaN to indicate unavailable data.

Check every non-destructor cuOpt C API status before continuing.

cuOptSolve and the preceding settings, MIP-start, problem-creation, callback, and parameter calls all return status codes. If any call fails, the zero-initialized solve_result_t retains CUOPT_TERMINATION_STATUS_NO_TERMINATION (0). The getter calls can also fail without writing their outputs. sol_found then remains 0, but the code still writes a benchmark row with status Other, a DBL_MAX objective sentinel, and default metric values. Apply one status-checking helper to every non-destructor C API call, including all setters in configure_c_api_settings, and stop result emission when a call fails.

Validate feasibility before updating the publication floor.

publish_if_better validates only the assignment size and objective. It does not validate variable bounds, constraints, or integrality.

The CPUFJ paths in cpp/src/mip_heuristics/local_search/local_search.cu publish before population validation. cpp/src/mip_heuristics/diversity/population.cu Lines 217-220 show that external solutions can fail compute_feasibility().

An invalid candidate can therefore update best_published_objective_ and reach GET_SOLUTION callbacks. Validate the full solver-space assignment before this update.

As per path instructions: “review correctness of incumbent publication” and “objective and feasibility auditing.”

Convert the imported objective into the current solver space.

pre_solve_heuristics runs before mip_scaling modifies op_problem. Line 539 then stores its pre-scaling solver objective after problem has entered the scaled solver space.

The callback at Line 570 compares new scaled objectives against this incompatible value. It can reject a better incumbent or replace the pre-solve incumbent with a worse one.

Recompute the value from the representation-independent user objective.

In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/solve.cu` at line 539, Update the early_best_objective
initialization in the solve flow to convert the pre_solve_heuristics objective
into the current scaled solver space before storing it. Derive the value from
the representation-independent user objective, so the callback’s comparisons
with scaled objectives remain consistent.

Use stream_view_ for the large-input Thrust policy.

optimization_problem_t accepts a null handle and initializes stream_view_ to the default stream. When set_variable_types receives at least 50,000 variables, the branch asserts and dereferences handle_ptr_. The assertion aborts assertion-enabled builds, and the null dereference can crash when assertions are disabled. Use rmm::exec_policy(stream_view_) for both thrust::count_if calls.

Can you name any scenario in production where a handle_ptr could reach this function as nullptr? I believe that if handle_ptr is nullptr, we have much bigger problems anyways. Might as well fail loudly with a segfault that can then be gdb-attached rather than hide it with a cuopt_expects or a silent fail or whatnot.

We could put this to another file I think. We shouldn't bloat the benchmarking file.

Do we really need that? If we need that, it means something has gone wrong on the previous problem on the same process right?

Let's also change this decimal place to 5, so that scripts that infer metrics from logs are correct.

Just a nit: it is a common function that might be repeated in many places. We can reuse maybe?

I don't think we need a new file for this. There are various util places. Example:

Now we are counting semi-continuous as discrete, does this if still hold? We don't have a differenciation between MIP and IP, but still I am not sure if we can categorize it as IP.
