refactor: split host-only members out of CUDA translation units

[ramakrishnap-nv]

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

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:

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR separates host-only and CUDA-specific solver settings and solution conversion implementations. It updates CMake source lists, adds the adaptive barrier regularization parameter, and extracts testable remote callback eligibility logic.

CPU and GPU solver settings

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Host and device solver settings cpp/src/math_optimization/..., cpp/src/mip_heuristics/..., cpp/tests/linear_programming/unit_tests/solver_settings_test.cu	Host-side MIP settings methods move to solver_settings.cpp. CUDA-facing PDLP and MIP methods move to solver_settings_gpu.cu. Tests cover both numeric specializations, initial solutions, warm-start data, callbacks, and tolerances.
CPU solution conversion cpp/src/pdlp/..., cpp/tests/linear_programming/unit_tests/solution_interface_test.cu	CPU LP and MIP conversion methods move to solution_conversion_cpu.cpp. Tests validate solution vectors, return metadata, and warm-start data.
Remote callback eligibility cpp/src/grpc/client/..., cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_client_test.cpp	Semi-continuous callback detection moves into a namespace-level helper. Tests cover callback and variable-type combinations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9200

The host/device split changes where template specializations are emitted, and an unconditional test reference can cause supported configurations to fail at link time when that specialization is disabled. The affected reference should be guarded or explicitly accepted before merging.

297-501: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove or guard the float wrapper tests.

LP_UNIT_TEST always compiles solver_settings_test.cu, but CUOPT_INSTANTIATE_FLOAT is 0. Therefore, solver_settings_gpu.cu emits no float wrapper members, while lines 417–501 call them. The test binary can fail to link with unresolved float symbols. Guard these tests or enable the matching instantiation.
