Inline comments:
In `@cpp/src/branch_and_bound/branch_and_bound.cpp`:
- Around line 2112-2118: Replace the unconditional std::cout diagnostic in the
max_iter termination branch with settings_.log.debug_format, preserving the
existing message fields and log_prefix conventions used by the surrounding
solver code.
- Line 1537: Clamp the int64_t iter_limit parameter in the relevant
branch-and-bound routine to the valid i_t/int range before assigning it to
lp_settings.iteration_limit, ensuring oversized values from dive_with or
recursive_submip do not overflow or produce an unintended limit.
- Around line 3843-3850: Protect root-heuristic diving reads from concurrent
cut-pass reallocation by passing a worker-local LP snapshot through
launch_root_heuristics and dive_with, or locking every access to original_lp_
with mutex_original_lp_. Update coefficient_diving to use worker->leaf_problem,
matching the deterministic path, and ensure stop_and_sync cannot leave
unprotected reads active.
In `@cpp/src/branch_and_bound/pseudo_costs.cpp`:
- Around line 1405-1426: Update the initialization block around
single_pivot_objective_change_estimate so each direction is handled
independently: only initialize pseudo_cost_sum_down and increment
pseudo_cost_num_down when the down count is zero, and do the equivalent for the
up direction. Accumulate any newly computed estimate into an existing sum rather
than overwriting it, preserving the averaging contract used by
update_pseudo_costs and related writers.
In `@cpp/src/branch_and_bound/worker_pool.hpp`:
- Line 27: Add a direct branch_and_bound/pseudo_costs.hpp include to
worker_pool.hpp so worker_pool_t::init can resolve pseudo_costs_t without
relying on worker.hpp's transitive includes; leave unrelated includes unchanged.
In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/root_heuristics.hpp`:
- Around line 169-181: Restore the worker-capacity enforcement before the
cut-pass entry is created in the root-heuristics flow. Calculate the planned
workers for the new cut pass, including the CPU FJ worker, SubMIP worker, and
every diving strategy, then repeatedly stop and remove the oldest entries from
cut_passes_heuristics_ until the total remains within max_workers_. Preserve the
existing cut-pass insertion through emplace_back after capacity is available.

Thanks for the great work Nicolas! Especially on oldest heuristic worker stopping logic. I think this could be improved later by choosing stalling heuristics rather than oldest.

In this PR, the solver can now perform dives during the cut passes. More specifically, at each cut pass,
vstatusand solution from the current root pass.This requires storing additional information on the worker such as the current incumbent (for guided diving and RINS) and a reference to the associated pseudocost object. Note that the pseudocost information collected during diving is currently thrown away at the end of the cut passes.
This PR includes #1760.
Closes #1055.
