Adds description: and default: to field_registry.yaml for all 85 settings fields across pdlp_settings/mip_settings — previously nothing tied a setting's meaning and default to the field itself (constants.h is bare #defines, docs/*.rst keys prose to C API names, not fields). default: values come from the C++ member initializers, not the docs, which disagree in several places.

Also adds two checks that were previously missing:

  • ./build.sh codegen now fails if a non-optional settings field's default: doesn't textually match the proto3 zero value — the exact class of bug a reviewer would otherwise have to catch by eye.
  • cpp/src/grpc/codegen/lint_registry_defaults.py — manual, best-effort — diffs simple C++ initializers against the registry to catch drift the check above can't (a changed default with no matching registry update).

And skills/cuopt-developer/references/grpc_codegen.md, covering the codegen pipeline so an agent doesn't hand-edit generated/ or skip regeneration.

How this reaches the MCP server

This PR only touches field_registry.yaml/generate_conversions.py; no MCP code lives here. But description:/default: have a live consumer once #1916 lands on top of this branch:

field_registry.yaml (this PR)
        |
        v
generate_conversions.py  (./build.sh codegen)
        |
        +--> cuopt_remote_data.proto, generated_*.inc --> libcuopt / cuopt_grpc_server
        |         (wire types, C++ <-> proto converters)
        |
        +--> cuopt_mcp_schema.json --> cuopt_mcp (#1916) --> MCP client
                  (JSON Schema `description`/`default` an agent reads
                   before deciding whether to set a solver parameter)

So a description:/default: edit here reaches an MCP agent's tool schema through cuopt_mcp_schema.json, with no MCP-specific work needed on that side — which is also why the optional-vs-zero-value check in this PR matters even without cuopt_mcp in view: a wrong default here is a wrong default an agent sees.

(pre-existing) Is the bool not optional in the proto just because the default is false? What happens if/when the default changes?

Yes — that's exactly the rule (documented in references/grpc_codegen.md's optional bullet): it's only added when the C++ default differs from the proto3 zero value. detect_infeasibility defaults to false, matching proto3's implicit zero, so an omitting client already gets the right default without presence tracking.

If the default ever flips to true, optional would become required — otherwise an omitting client would silently get false (the wire zero value) instead of the new true default. Worth flagging: nothing currently checks that automatically. description/default in the registry are free text the generator doesn't validate against the C++ initializer (noted in the same doc), so a future default change without a matching optional: true addition would be a silent correctness bug, not a caught one. Filing this as a follow-up for the registry docs rather than fixing here, since it's pre-existing and out of scope for this PR.

**1 of 4** toward a CUDA-free client library (#1802, #1803, #1804 stack on this one).

## Why

Talking to a remote `cuopt_grpc_server` currently requires the full GPU stack. `pip install cuopt` pulls `cudf`, `cupy-cuda13x[ctk]`, `rmm`, `pylibraft`, `numba-cuda`, `scipy`, `pandas` and `libcuopt` (which itself pulls `cuda-toolkit`) — GB-scale, onto a machine whose only job is to serialize protobuf over a socket.

The motivating consumer is the MCP server in #1701: it imports exactly `Client`, `TlsConfig`, `DataModel`, `Read`, `SolverSettings` — **no `Solve`** — yet installs all of the above.

That coupling is mostly accidental. The gRPC client sources are already GPU-free; what ties them to CUDA is that the host-side implementations they need are compiled into `.cu` translation units, so anything wanting them must link the CUDA library. **This PR only separates those**, so #1804 can place them in a `cuopt_client` library whose `NEEDED` list has no CUDA, rmm or raft.

## What

Several classes are mostly host code but live entirely in `.cu` files, so anything needing their host-side members has to link the CUDA library. This separates them.

| File | Size | CUDA-touching lines |
|---|---|---|
| `math_optimization/solver_settings.cu` → `.cpp` + `_gpu.cu` | 713 | **5** |
| `mip_heuristics/solver_settings.cu` → `.cu` + `.cpp` | 58 | 3 |
| `pdlp/solution_conversion.cu` → + `solution_conversion_cpu.cpp` | 225 | 23 |

`math_optimization/solver_settings.cu` is the clearest case — 713 lines of parameter handling with 5 lines that touch a stream.

## The rule each split follows

Host code moves to the `.cpp`; members taking an `rmm::cuda_stream_view` or returning a `device_uvector` stay in the `.cu`; **every member moved out of the original TU is instantiated explicitly**, because `template class` in the `.cpp` can only emit members whose definitions it can still see.

## Two traps this pattern sets — both hit during development

**1. A moved member with no explicit instantiation silently disappears.** An earlier revision of this PR moved the 19-argument `solver_settings_t::set_pdlp_warm_start_data` into `solver_settings_gpu.cu` but instantiated only its five neighbours. The symbol vanished from `libcuopt.so`. It is the overload the Cython layer binds to, so **every `conda-python-tests` config, `docs-build` and `wheel-tests-cuopt-server` failed while every C++ job passed**. There is no compile or link error locally — the C++ build does not use that overload.

The check that catches this class of bug in one shot:

```bash
nm -D --defined-only libcuopt.so | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u > new.txt
comm -23 main.txt new.txt | c++filt     # anything here is a lost export
```

**2. Guarded instantiations can compile to nothing.** The instantiations sit behind `MIP_INSTANTIATE_*` / `PDLP_INSTANTIATE_*`, so each new file must include `mip_heuristics/mip_constants.hpp`. Without it the guards evaluate false and the TU compiles to **zero symbols** — no error, just a link failure much later. `nm --defined-only` on the object is how you spot it.

## Risk

Moderate, not low — see above. The moved definitions are byte-identical and no build targets change here, so behaviour is unaffected; the risk is entirely in *symbol emission*, which the exported-symbol diff now covers.

## Testing

- Full build + all 126 test binaries: 0 errors
- Exported symbols diffed against `main`: **no losses**
- `ctest`: 119/125. The 6 failures are missing downloaded datasets (`ci/test_cpp.sh` fetches them; I did not locally) — unmodified `main` fails the identical six in a clean worktree.

Inline comments:
In `@cpp/src/grpc/codegen/field_registry.yaml`:
- Line 50: Update the default attribute documentation in field_registry.yaml to
state that the generator performs partial validation, reflecting the
non-optional default checks in generate_conversions.py, rather than claiming it
neither derives nor validates defaults.

In `@cpp/src/grpc/codegen/generate_conversions.py`:
- Around line 414-415: Update the public generate_mcp_schema function signature
with accurate parameter and return type hints, and expand its docstring to
document the registry argument, returned JSON text, and the duplicate-field
failure it raises.

In `@cpp/src/grpc/codegen/lint_registry_defaults.py`:
- Line 133: Update the numeric default comparison around the existing cpp_num
and reg_num parsing to use Decimal equality instead of an absolute 1e-12
tolerance. Preserve acceptance of equivalent numeric spellings while reporting
any nonzero difference, including values such as 1e-13 versus 0.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/__init__.py`:
- Around line 9-10: Update the exported main entry point to declare a None
return type and revise its docstring to state that it returns nothing,
preserving its console-script behavior.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/client.py`:
- Around line 49-50: Complete the public API contracts for get_client and
describe_connection_error: add an explicit return type annotation to get_client,
and add a meaningful docstring to describe_connection_error documenting its
conversion behavior, parameters, return value, and raised exceptions as
applicable. Use the existing client and error symbols to match the module’s
established contracts.
- Line 86: Update describe_connection_error and its _guard call path so
unmatched backend exceptions do not expose raw text or internal paths in MCP
responses. Return a stable user-actionable message for non-connectivity
failures, while emitting only sanitized diagnostics to stderr; preserve the
existing handling for recognized connectivity errors.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/schema.py`:
- Line 33: Document every listed public API with meaningful docstrings covering
parameters, return values, and raised exceptions: in
python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/schema.py lines 33-33, update schema_path, load,
settings_schema, known_parameters, and validate_settings; in
python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/tools.py lines 109-109, update submit, status,
result, cancel, incumbents, logs, and list_settings.
- Around line 92-95: Update the type validation in the schema validator’s
integer and number branches to explicitly reject boolean values, while
continuing to accept valid integers and floats. Ensure True and False raise the
existing ValueError before reaching SolverSettings.set_parameter.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/server.py`:
- Around line 96-101: Complete the docstrings for the public tools cuopt_status,
cuopt_incumbents, cuopt_logs, cuopt_cancel, and cuopt_list_settings, documenting
each parameter, the returned response structure, and the error response behavior
produced by _guard; include raises information where applicable while preserving
the existing behavior.
- Line 176: Add a meaningful docstring to the public main function describing
its stdio-server behavior, that it returns None, and the startup failures it may
raise. Keep the implementation unchanged.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/tools.py`:
- Around line 186-193: Validate the inline solution limit before the
response-shaping logic around selected variables, enforcing the intended
inclusive range of 0 through 200. Reject or normalize values outside that range
before the len(selected) comparison and slicing, while preserving the existing
truncation behavior for valid limits.
- Around line 35-38: Harden _solution_dir and solution-file creation: use mode
0700 for the default or configured solution directory, reject existing
directories whose owner is not the current user or whose permissions are more
permissive than 0700, and create JSON files with mode 0600 while preserving
secure behavior if files already exist.
- Around line 233-245: The logs function must reject non-positive and
excessively large tail_lines values before fetching or shaping logs; validate it
against the fixed positive bounds used by the API. Update the cuopt_logs schema
to expose matching Field(ge=1, le=...) metadata so validation is enforced
consistently.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/tests/test_end_to_end.py`:
- Around line 177-180: Bound the termination-status polling loop after
submitting the job, matching the existing bounded pattern near lines 113-118.
Track the last observed cuopt_status result, stop polling when the timeout is
reached, and fail with that final state instead of allowing a stalled job to run
until CI’s external timeout.

In `@python/cuopt_mcp/tests/test_schema.py`:
- Around line 31-38: Update test_every_parameter_states_a_default to assert that
every property includes the machine-readable default key, while retaining the
existing description check if that user-facing contract remains required.

In `@skills/cuopt-developer/references/grpc_codegen.md`:
- Around line 71-74: Update the documentation around the default metadata
description to state that the generator validates declared defaults, but does
not derive them from C++ member initializers or detect initializer drift.
Preserve the guidance to source the free-text default from the C++ struct rather
than conflicting documentation.
- Line 1: Run the required NVSkills CI validation for the skills change, rerun
it if needed, and ensure the resulting bot signature commit is retained before
merging.

Learning: In `cpp/src/grpc/codegen/generate_conversions.py`, `_json_schema_property` deliberately renders each field registry `default` as `Default: <value>.` in the JSON Schema `description`. It must not emit a JSON Schema `default` key because registry defaults can be untyped prose, such as sentinel explanations, and therefore cannot reliably be represented as a typed JSON value.

Learning: In `python/cuopt_mcp/cuopt_mcp/client.py`, the C++ to Cython gRPC error path preserves only a plain message string and does not retain a structured status code. `describe_connection_error()` must redact server-derived filesystem paths from unmatched backend errors instead of converting every unmatched error to a generic message, because solve and parse errors require useful caller-facing diagnostics.

ramakrishnap-nv and others added 2 commits September 16, 2026 13:18
Adds `description:` and `default:` attributes to field_registry.yaml and
emits them as leading comments on the generated proto fields. The
generated .proto is part of the public wire contract (GRPC_INTERFACE.md,
"Custom Clients"), but carried no comments, so a third-party client
could not learn what a settings field means or what omitting it does.

Covers all 85 fields in pdlp_settings and mip_settings. Two fields
(postsolve_info, presolve_absolute_tolerance) have no documentation
anywhere, so they carry only `default:` plus a note to add prose later.

`default:` values are taken from the C++ member initializers rather than
from docs/cuopt/source/*-settings.rst, which disagrees in four places
(barrier_iterative_refinement, barrier_step_scale, pdlp_precision,
semi_continuous_big_m). Those look like docs bugs and are left for a
separate change.

Fields without either attribute generate byte-identical output, so the
only generated file that changes is cuopt_remote_data.proto, and the
change is purely additive comments.

The skill had no coverage of cpp/src/grpc/codegen/, so an agent editing a
wire field could hand-edit the generated output or skip regeneration.
Codegen is an explicit ./build.sh target that never runs during a normal
build, so a missed regeneration surfaces only as a CI failure.

Adds references/grpc_codegen.md covering the registry workflow, the
optional/sentinel presence traps, field-number permanence, and the rule
that the C++ member initializer rather than docs/ is ground truth for a
setting's default. Adds a safety rule and pointer section in SKILL.md.

Addresses review (KyleFromNVIDIA): build a single words list instead
of splitting the description, rejoining it, then splitting the
combined body again for wrapping -- also removes the inconsistency
between checking description with a truthy test and default with
`is None`, since both now go through the same words-list construction.
Verified: empty description, missing description, and description=""
all still correctly produce no comment lines; wrapping/whitespace
normalization unchanged.

Fair -- fixed by deleting it (46a4f40).

Agreed, removed the whole section in 46a4f40. Confirmed while at it: cuopt_remote_data.proto and every .inc file do carry a DO NOT EDIT / regenerate-with header (I also found and fixed a small drift bug where that header text had been hand-duplicated in two places with different wording -- 8f462b6 -- now both derive from one source).

Addresses review (mlubin, PR review 5235568192): references/grpc_codegen.md
duplicated content that already existed in cpp/src/grpc/GRPC_CODE_GENERATION.md
and cpp/src/grpc/codegen/FIELD_REGISTRY_REFERENCE.md -- developer-facing docs
every contributor reads, not just agents -- and SKILL.md's "Never Hand-Edit
Generated Files" section duplicated the "DO NOT EDIT" header every generated
file already carries.

- Removed references/grpc_codegen.md and both SKILL.md sections pointing at
  it (the workflow paragraph and the generated-files table, entirely new to
  this PR, not established content).
- Folded the genuinely new material -- description:/default: settings-field
  docs, the optional-vs-zero-value validation check, and
  lint_registry_defaults.py -- into FIELD_REGISTRY_REFERENCE.md (as new §2.1
  table rows and additions to §4.3) and GRPC_CODE_GENERATION.md's quick
  start, since neither existed there before this PR.

…he .inc HEADER

The "AUTO-GENERATED / DO NOT EDIT" notice was hand-duplicated between
HEADER (.inc files) and generate_data_proto's own literal strings, and
had drifted to different wording ("DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY" vs "DO NOT
EDIT") and different regenerate commands (a bare `python
generate_conversions.py` vs the full path). Both now build from one
_GENERATED_NOTICE tuple, pointing at the documented ./build.sh codegen
entry point instead of a raw script invocation.

@mlubin Addressed all 5 — replied to each individually, but the short version: deleted references/grpc_codegen.md entirely and moved what wasn't duplicate into cpp/src/grpc/GRPC_CODE_GENERATION.md/FIELD_REGISTRY_REFERENCE.md (46a4f40), so it's documented once, for everyone, where it already lived rather than a second agent-only copy. Also caught and fixed a real drift bug while consolidating: the generated-file header notice was hand-duplicated between the .proto and the .inc files with different wording (8f462b6).

comment from AI reviewer:

The last sentence of this description: looks copied from docs/cuopt/source/mip-settings.rst, not from the solver:

Probing is also skipped in deterministic mode and on LP-only solves.

The probing-cache gate in cpp/src/mip_heuristics/diversity/diversity_manager.cu only honors settings.probing (and a constexpr fj_only_run that is false). Deterministic mode skips other work (e.g. early CPUFJ); I don’t see it skipping this probing step.

This PR’s rule is that C++ is ground truth and the rst defaults/prose can drift. Please drop the deterministic-mode claim (keep the presolver=0 part), or point to the code that actually skips probing when determinism_mode is set. Then ./build.sh codegen so the proto comment matches.

Confirmed the AI reviewer's read: traced the only gate on this (diversity_manager.cu:314, settings.probing, plus a constexpr fj_only_run=false that has no dynamic effect) and found nothing checking determinism_mode or an LP-only path there. Dropped the claim in 749851a, kept the presolver=0 part which does hold.

comment from AI reviewer -- changes in this PR make it untrue that the generator does not validate defaults (it does at least somewhat):

This docstring is stale relative to the rest of the PR.

_field_doc_comment still says default: is “not a value the generator derives or validates,” but _validate_registry_uniqueness now fails codegen when a non-optional settings field’s default: isn’t the proto3 zero value.

Please update this docstring to match that: rendered verbatim, not derived from C++, but checked for non-optional settings against the proto3 zero.

Same wording is still in cpp/src/grpc/codegen/lint_registry_defaults.py (module docstring, ~L10–12: “the generator neither derives nor validates”). Align that too so a later reader doesn’t skip the new check.

Fixed both docstrings in 749851a -- _field_doc_comment now describes the actual check (textual match against proto3 zero for non-optional settings fields, not full validation), and lint_registry_defaults.py's module docstring matches. Also fixed a dangling reference there to references/grpc_codegen.md, which no longer exists (deleted earlier today).

…ied probing claim, fix stale docstrings

- mip_batch_pdlp_strong_branching / mip_batch_pdlp_reliability_branching:
  solver_settings.hpp documents these as three-way (0 dual simplex only,
  1 cooperative, 2 batched-PDLP-only), but the registry described them
  as plain booleans. Corrected both descriptions and defaults.
- probing: dropped the "skipped in deterministic mode and on LP-only
  solves" claim -- traced the only gating in
  diversity_manager.cu (settings.probing, guarded by a constexpr
  fj_only_run=false) and found no determinism_mode or LP-only check on
  this path. Looks copied from mip-settings.rst prose rather than the
  code, which this PR's own rule says is not ground truth.
- _field_doc_comment (generate_conversions.py) and
  lint_registry_defaults.py's module docstring still said the generator
  "neither derives nor validates" default: -- stale since the
  optional-vs-zero-value check landed earlier in this PR. Also fixed a
  dangling reference to the now-deleted references/grpc_codegen.md.

Verified: ./build.sh codegen produces the corrected proto comments;
ci/verify_grpc_codegen.sh and lint_registry_defaults.py both still pass.

left a few comments on consistency found with an AI review, overall looks good to me

… 2 more real gaps

Systematically cross-checked every settings field with a numbered/enumerated
claim (22 fields) against its actual C++ initializer, comment, or usage site,
following the two bugs tmckayus/AI-reviewer found. Two more:

- enabled_recombiners: bit 4 was described as "local search", copying the
  C++ header comment's ambiguous "LS" abbreviation. The actual enum
  (recombiner_stats.hpp) is LINE_SEGMENT, a specific recombination
  technique distinct from the solver's general local search (FJ climbers,
  ls_config_t, etc.) -- described accurately instead.
- barrier_dual_initial_point: registry documented 3 of the type's actual 4
  values (barrier_dual_initial_point_t in internals.hpp has Automatic,
  LustigMarstenShanno, DualLeastSquares, SedumiMu) -- added the missing
  SedumiMu case (2), named per its own comment in barrier.cu.

Everything else checked (mip_scaling, reduced_cost_strengthening, ordering,
folding/augmented/dualize, symmetry, determinism_mode, presolver x2,
reliability_branching, the *_cuts family) matched their C++ source exactly.

Verified: ./build.sh codegen regenerates cleanly; ci/verify_grpc_codegen.sh
and lint_registry_defaults.py both still pass.

Adds `cuopt_mcp`, an MCP server exposing LP/MILP solves to MCP clients (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) over `cuopt_grpc_server` — no GPU needed on the agent host. Builds on #1701 (merged): the settings catalogue (`cuopt_mcp_schema.json`) is generated from `field_registry.yaml`, so a new solver parameter reaches this server with no MCP-specific work.

**Testing:** Unit-tested with a stubbed gRPC client; verified end to end against a live `cuopt_grpc_server` on a GPU.

**Docs:** `python/cuopt_mcp/README.md` covers install, config, and the tool list.

**Known gaps:** No CI yet (deferred to the CUDA-free packaging split, #1872). Installing this currently pulls in `cuopt-cu13`/CUDA even though the host doesn't need a GPU — same blocker.

…ow-reuseport

Four changes to cuopt_mcp, originally separate commits, squashed here
after retargeting this branch onto the newly-split NVIDIA#1916 (cuopt_mcp
initial PR) instead of directly on NVIDIA#1701:

- cuopt_health: no-arg tool reporting host, port, tls and reachability.
  Every other tool needs a model or a job_id, so the connection could
  previously only be checked by submitting work and reading the
  failure. Probed via a status lookup for an impossible job id, which
  must return NOT_FOUND (the service has no health RPC). The
  unreachable message now says to look for a running server before
  starting one, and cuopt_solve_milp carries its own problem key list
  rather than pointing at cuopt_solve_lp (a caller can hold the MILP
  tool alone under deferred loading).
- submit()/cuopt_solve_lp/cuopt_solve_milp accept a model as plain
  JSON arrays (problem=) as an alternative to problem_path, with no
  file in the loop.
- Packaging: cuopt_mcp used plain setuptools, so depends_on_cuopt was
  emitted as a literal cuopt==26.10.*, which no CUDA-suffixed build
  publishes; pip install python/cuopt_mcp could not resolve. Now gets
  the same rapids-build-backend treatment as cuopt_server and builds
  as cuopt_mcp-cu13, plus a build.sh cuopt_mcp target.
- --allow-reuseport: gRPC enables SO_REUSEPORT by default, so a second
  cuopt_grpc_server on an already-served port binds silently and the
  kernel splits connections between two processes. The existing
  "Failed to bind" path never fired.
