This PR fixes a missing copy in diversity_manager_t after the root node solve, which caused uninitialized data to remain in the lp_optimal_solution vector and causing errors later down the line.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • Streamlined solution handling to copy LP primal/dual results directly and avoid redundant temporary allocations; preserved synchronization behavior.
    • Adjusted feasibility validation to operate on a separate scaled copy to prevent unintended mutation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added size and finiteness checks to validate solutions before use.
  • User-facing

    • Deterministic fallback names for unnamed variables so every column has a label.
  • Tests

    • Relaxed numerical tolerances in some objective and variable checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Direct-copy LP primal and dual solutions from lp_result into diversity-manager buffers with size assertions and a post-copy finite-value check; remove a temporary device vector. Use a separate scaled copy for feasibility checks to avoid mutating original solutions. Add fallback names for unnamed variables and relax two Python test tolerances.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
C++: LP solution handling
cpp/src/mip/diversity/diversity_manager.cu
Remove temporary device vector; directly copy LP primal from lp_result into lp_optimal_solution and copy LP dual into lp_dual_optimal_solution; add size assertions for primal/dual lengths; perform post-copy finite-value check with thrust::all_of; preserve existing stream synchronization.
C++: Solution unscaling / feasibility check
cpp/src/mip/diversity/population.cu
Perform feasibility validation on a separate scaled_sol copy associated with the unscaled problem (resize and validate that copy) so temp_sol is not mutated prior to objective extraction.
C++: Variable naming fallback
cpp/src/linear_programming/translate.hpp
When populating col_names use model.var_names[j] if available; otherwise assign fallback names "_CUOPT_x"+std::to_string(j) for unnamed variables. No signature changes.
Python tests: numeric tolerance relaxed
python/cuopt/cuopt/tests/linear_programming/test_python_API.py
Increase absolute tolerance in two quadratic-objective assertions (variables and objective) to abs=1e-3, switching to toleranced equality.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~25 minutes

  • Verify size-assertion behavior and clear error messages for mismatches.
  • Confirm thrust::all_of uses the correct execution policy/stream and reliably detects non-finite values.
  • Ensure dual solution indices align with primal buffers and intended semantics.
  • Check that using scaled_sol prevents side effects and that objective extraction still uses the correct (unmodified) solution.
  • Run the adjusted Python tests to ensure relaxed tolerances are appropriate and not masking numerical regressions.

Document the rationale for tolerance changes when solver behavior shifts.

The tolerance adjustments (abs=1e-3 for x1, x3, ObjValue; abs=0.000001 for x2) align with expected numerical differences in optimization results, where inactive variables (x2≈0) warrant tighter tolerances than active variables. However, per coding guidelines, when solver behavior changes (as from the diversity_manager.cu fix), document the numerical tolerance rationale and any expected precision variations in the test or related documentation to explain why these tolerances are appropriate for the modified algorithm.

@aliceb-nv, thank you for clarifying! I see that issue #686 tracks the underlying nondeterminism in the QP solver that's causing slight objective value variations. Using tolerance adjustments as a temporary workaround is a pragmatic approach to unblock this PR while the root cause is investigated.

For future reference, you might consider adding a brief TODO comment in the test pointing to issue #686, so it's clear these tolerances should be revisited once the nondeterminism is resolved:

# TODO(#686): Tolerances adjusted to handle QP nondeterminism - revisit when fixed
assert x1.getValue() == pytest.approx(0.2295081, abs=1e-3)

This would help ensure the temporary nature is visible in the code itself.

Learning: In cuOPT's quadratic programming API, when a user provides a quadratic objective matrix Q via set_quadratic_objective_matrix or the C API functions cuOptCreateQuadraticProblem/cuOptCreateQuadraticRangedProblem, the API internally computes Q_symmetric = Q + Q^T and the barrier solver uses 0.5 * x^T * Q_symmetric * x. From the user's perspective, the convention is x^T Q x. For a diagonal Q with values [q1, q2, ...], the resulting quadratic terms are q1*x1^2 + q2*x2^2 + ...

82-89: Fallback column naming logic is sound; consider mirroring safety for row names

The new block on Line 85–Line 89 correctly guarantees a stable, index-aligned name for every column when model.var_names.size() < n by using "_CUOPT_x" + std::to_string(j). This is good for maintaining a consistent mapping between LP columns and names across transforms.

Two small follow‑ups you might consider:

  • If you expect model.row_names.size() to always equal m, an explicit cuopt_assert(model.row_names.size() >= static_cast<size_t>(m), ...) before the loop at Line 78 would document and enforce that contract, mirroring the robustness you just added for column names.
  • If you ever want names even when there are no user‑provided names, you could drop the if (model.var_names.size() > 0) guard and always fill col_names with either user names or the fallback; that would make naming behavior more uniform.

286-290: Good separation of feasibility check from callback solution; please confirm lifetime/async assumptions

The new scaled_sol path on Line 286–Line 290 cleanly decouples the feasibility check on the unscaled/original problem from both sol and temp_sol, which prevents unintended mutation of the solution that drives callbacks. Binding scaled_sol.problem_ptr to the stack‑allocated n_problem and then calling resize_to_original_problem() and compute_feasibility() is consistent with keeping feasibility checks in the correct (original) problem context, which matches the solver‑phase/context learnings.

Two things worth double‑checking:

  • That solution_t::resize_to_original_problem() and solution_t::compute_feasibility() do not retain references to n_problem beyond the lifetime of scaled_sol (e.g., via async work that would outlive this scope).
  • That resize_to_original_problem() indeed prepares scaled_sol correctly for feasibility in the unscaled original problem, given that only temp_sol.assignment is explicitly unscaled.

If both hold, this change looks solid and aligns well with the intent to validate feasibility post‑unscaling without corrupting the original LP solution.
Based on learnings, this also helps keep variable/constraint indices consistent across problem contexts.

This PR fixes a missing copy in diversity_manager_t after the root node solve, which caused uninitialized data to remain in the lp_optimal_solution vector and causing errors later down the line.


## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Refactor**
  * Streamlined solution handling to copy LP primal/dual results directly and avoid redundant temporary allocations; preserved synchronization behavior.  
  * Adjusted feasibility validation to operate on a separate scaled copy to prevent unintended mutation.

* **Bug Fixes**
  * Added size and finiteness checks to validate solutions before use.

* **User-facing**
  * Deterministic fallback names for unnamed variables so every column has a label.

* **Tests**
  * Relaxed numerical tolerances in some objective and variable checks.
