Adds the 26.10 release notes and the missing docs for 26.10 settings.

What this PR contains

  • Release notes (draft). One entry per user-visible PR merged since v26.10.00a. PR numbers are kept next to each entry for review and will be stripped before merge, to match earlier releases.
  • Settings docs. Primal simplex (CUOPT_METHOD_PRIMAL, CUOPT_PRIMAL_SIMPLEX_PRICING, the dual simplex perturbation settings), CUOPT_CONCURRENT_NNZ_CUTOFF, barrier bound-free-variables, primal/dual regularization, initial point safeguard and the SeDuMi initial point, CUOPT_MIP_RENS, CUOPT_MIP_MUTATION, and CUOPT_SEQUENCE_SOLVE. Settings with HYPER in the name are intentionally not documented.
  • C API docs. The matching constants, the new method and initial point and partitioner constant lists, and cuOptSetLogCallback.
  • Feature docs. Short sections for primal simplex and sequence solves.

The docs build locally with warnings treated as errors, and Vale reports no issues on the changed files.

Before merge

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Adds the section header and subsection placeholders for the in-progress
26.10 cycle so subsequent PRs can append their own entries instead of
each one deciding whether to create the section.

Add the 26.10 settings that were missing from the docs: primal simplex and
its pricing and perturbation settings, the concurrent NNZ cutoff, barrier
bound-free-variables, regularization, initial point safeguard and SeDuMi
initial point, RENS, mutation, and CUOPT_SEQUENCE_SOLVE. Add the matching C
API constants, the solver log callback, and short feature sections for
primal simplex and sequence solves. Settings with HYPER in the name stay
undocumented on purpose.

Also correct the cuOptSetLogCallback release note, which described a
CUOPT_LOG_LEVEL variable that is not in the code, and drop the Helm mention
from the gRPC health-probe entry.

Correct two typos in the initial-point description.

Line 365 misspells the author’s surname as Martsten; the journal index lists Roy E. Marsten as a coauthor. (ftp.math.utah.edu) Line 366 misspells satisfying as statisfying. Correct both.

want_cache requires the GPU memory backend. The CPU branch does not attach a barrier cache.

The batch API is documented as LP-only, while sequence solves are documented for quadratic programs. Therefore, batch mode is not a reachable quadratic-program sequence-solve path. Update both sequence-solve sections with the GPU limitation:

Sequence Solves
---------------

When the same quadratic program is solved repeatedly with small changes, cuOpt can reuse the work from the first solve. Enable ``sequence_solve`` in the solver settings and solve with the barrier method. After the first solve finishes with an optimal solution, cuOpt keeps the converted and presolved problem and the barrier workspace on the data model. You can then change the linear objective with :meth:`~cuopt.linear_programming.data_model.DataModel.update_linear_objective` or the constraint right-hand side with :meth:`~cuopt.linear_programming.data_model.DataModel.update_rhs`, and solve again. The next solve skips conversion, presolve, and scaling.

Scope sequence-solve reuse to the Python DataModel API.

The new C API reference exposes CUOPT_SEQUENCE_SOLVE, but cuOptSolve(...) does not create or retain a barrier cache. The current general documentation therefore promises ordering and barrier-workspace reuse for a C API setting that cannot provide it. Scope the sequence-solve documentation to the Python DataModel path, or implement cache handoff for the C API.

Correct the -1 semantics for RENS and Mutation.

The branch-and-bound consumers enable both heuristics when the setting is nonzero. Therefore, the default -1 follows the same enable branch as 1; it does not request automatic selection. Mutation still requires its existing runtime prerequisites, including an incumbent.

Review comments at @docs/cuopt/source/convex-settings.rst:
- Around line 269-270: Update the description of
CUOPT_DUAL_SIMPLEX_REMOVE_PERTURBATION to state that dual simplex attempts
perturbation removal at optimality of the perturbed problem, and that the solver
may continue dual simplex or invoke primal cleanup before declaring optimality.

Outside diff comments:
Review comments at @docs/cuopt/source/convex-settings.rst:
- Around line 495-497: Update the CUOPT_BARRIER_INITIAL_POINT_SAFEGUARD
description to distinguish its behavior: linear entries are adjusted only when
their minimum is nonpositive, second-order-cone heads are set to the tail norm
plus the safeguard, and direct free variables are not adjusted. Keep the
existing nonnegative-value requirement.

Review comments at @docs/cuopt/source/cuopt-c/convex/convex-c-api.rst:
- Around line 273-301: Update the CUOPT_SEQUENCE_SOLVE documentation to scope
ordering and barrier-workspace reuse to Python DataModel solves, including the
repeated-solve guidance in the sequence-solve feature description. Clarify that
cuOptSolve accepts the parameter but does not create or retain the barrier
cache.

Review comments at @docs/cuopt/source/mip-settings.rst:
- Around line 370-381: Update the RENS and Mutation descriptions in the MIP
settings documentation to state that any nonzero value, including the default
-1, enables each heuristic; clarify that 0 disables RENS and remove the
incorrect automatic-selection wording. Preserve Mutation’s existing incumbent
prerequisite.

- MIP heuristics improved by 3.2x on primal integral metric (geomean over the feasible MIPLIB2017 instances)
- Dual simplex is 1.4X faster (geomean over MIPLIB root relaxations)
- PDLP now use column reduction on large problems (~2x faster in geomean over LPFeas addendum instances)

Every PR currently shows one cancelled `NVSkills CI (non-blocking) / require-nvskills-ci` check (`gh pr checks` reports it as failed).

On a `pull_request` event the `request` job calls `team-request.yml`, whose nested `require-nvskills-ci` job runs the same shared status workflow as the top-level `require-nvskills-ci` job. That workflow cancels in-progress runs in a per-PR concurrency group, so the two copies cancel each other. In the last five PR runs I checked (#2122, #2138, #2139, #2141, #1972) one copy was cancelled and the other succeeded.

This drops `pull_request` from the `request` job's condition, so it only handles `issue_comment` and `push`, which is all `team-request.yml` does for it. The top-level non-blocking check stays as the single status check, and the `/nvskills-ci` and signature-push flows are unchanged.

This PR's own run should show a single `require-nvskills-ci` job.

The `.proto` files that define `CuOptRemoteService` are not in any wheel or conda package, so anyone writing a gRPC client has to fetch them from git.

- Installs all five protos into `share/cuopt/proto` in the `client-dev` component, which the `libcuopt-client` wheel and conda package both include. They share one directory because they import each other by bare file name.
- Adds two of the files to the `libcuopt-client` conda `package_contents` test.
- Adds a README note to the `libcuopt-client` wheel.

The docs for this (download links and the install paths) are in #1972. Generating reference pages from the protos is tracked in #2121.
