Correct the documented least-squares objective.
The row and column kernels compute -log|a_ij| minus the other log scale. curtis_reid_scaling() then folds each result with exp(log_scale) by multiplication. Therefore, the implemented objective is:
sum((log|a_ij| + row_log_scale[i] + col_log_scale[j])^2)Replace the subtraction operators in the comment with addition.

…hambolle, 10 iterations) Adds a log-domain least-squares prescaling pass (A. R. Curtis, J. K. Reid, "On the Automatic Scaling of Matrices for Gaussian Elimination", IMA J. Applied Mathematics, 1972; also IIASA Collaborative Paper CP-81-037, https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/1766/7/CP-81-037.pdf) that runs before the existing Ruiz/Pock-Chambolle scaling in initial_scaling.cu. Sequence and iteration count are inspired by the HPR-LP-C codebase (https://github.com/PolyU-IOR/HPR-LP-C, src/solver/scaling.cu). pdlp_hyper_params_t::do_curtis_reid_scaling defaults to true and number_of_curtis_reid_iterations to 10, based on a wide benchmark sweep. Skipped entirely under MIP for now (cuOpt's MIP path intentionally does row-only scaling; Curtis-Reid's integer-variable neutralization would need its own fix to compose correctly with column scaling there) and never exposed to distributed/multi-GPU PDLP (no cross-shard-coherent version implemented). Re-baselines pdlp_class.initial_solution_test's hardcoded golden step-size/primal-weight reference values for afiro, which were computed under the old Ruiz/Pock-Chambolle-only scaling.

…it zero coefficients curtis_reid_row_kernel/curtis_reid_col_kernel floored |a_ij| before taking a log via raft::max(abs_val, f_t(1e-300)). For f_t=float, 1e-300 underflows to exactly 0.0f, so the floor was a no-op: an explicitly-stored zero coefficient (present in the CSR with value 0.0, not simply absent) reached raft::log(0.0f) = -inf, producing non-finite log-domain scale factors. Fixes both occurrences to std::numeric_limits<f_t>::min(), which is representable and nonzero at any precision. Adds pdlp_class.curtis_reid_scaling_explicit_zero_coefficient_float, which constructs a minimal float-precision problem with an explicit zero coefficient and checks curtis_reid_scaling()'s pre-fold log-domain values stay finite (checking only the final, post-clamp cumulative scale factors would not have caught this: the exp+clamp fold happens to absorb -inf/NaN before it reaches them). Verified the test fails with the original 1e-300 floor and passes with the fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winRegister the Curtis-Reid controls in
solver_settings_t.
pdlp_hyper_params_tdeclares both fields, andinitial_scaling.cuuses them to enable Curtis-Reid scaling and set its iteration count. However,solver_settings.cudoes not register them inbool_parametersorint_parameters. The CLI, config-file loader, C API, and PythonSolverSettingsuse these collections, so they cannot set these fields through the unified parameter interface.Add parameter-name constants and register pointers to both fields in the existing collections. The adjacent Ruiz and Pock-Chambolle fields are also internal profile values set by the PDLP mode presets; they are not registered controls.

…LE_CURTIS_REID_SCALING) do_curtis_reid_scaling was only settable by editing pdlp_hyper_params_t directly. Since this is now a default-on behavior change, add a proper escape hatch: a new hidden hyper-parameter (name contains "hyper_", so excluded from --help/--dump-params by default, same convention as CUOPT_MIP_HYPER_HEURISTIC_POPULATION_SIZE and friends), wired through the existing generic bool_parameters table -- covers CLI (--pdlp-hyper-enable-curtis-reid-scaling), config file load/dump, and Python bindings for free. Default unchanged (true). Verified end-to-end on dlr1.mps (PDLP only, 300s budget): both with/without the flag reach the same Optimal objective, with Curtis-Reid converging in ~3.7x fewer iterations (23,600 vs. 86,400) and ~3.3x less wall-clock time (21.4s vs. 70.6s).

… PDLP output CI (PR NVIDIA#1934, wheel-tests-cuopt) failed on afiro's per-variable solution values (rel=1e-4 tolerance): Curtis-Reid scaling shifts PDLP's convergence path enough to drift a couple of near-degenerate components past that tolerance on some hardware. Use the newly-added CUOPT_PDLP_HYPER_ENABLE_CURTIS_REID_SCALING setting to pin this exact-value regression test back to the pre-Curtis-Reid deterministic path, rather than loosening the tolerance or re-baselining values that could drift again.

…der ASSERT_MODE CI (PR NVIDIA#1934, conda-cpp-tests) crashed with SIGABRT on the float-precision Curtis-Reid regression test: it constructed pdlp_initial_scaling_strategy_t directly with a null pdhg_solver_ptr while leaving running_mip at its default (false), tripping the "PDHG solver pointer is null" assertion. CI test builds compile with -DASSERT_MODE (assertions enabled); our local dev build didn't, so this went undetected until it hit that CI runner. Go through pdlp_solver_t instead (iteration_limit=0), matching the existing pattern at pdlp_test.cu:4684 -- it builds a real pdhg_solver_t and wires a valid pointer into the scaling strategy for us, and exposes it via get_initial_scaling_strategy() for the same finiteness checks. Verified locally by rebuilding with `-a` (DEFINE_ASSERT) and confirming the test now passes instead of aborting; pdlp_class.* matches the established 16-failure baseline with no new failures.

Description
This PR adds Curtis-Reid prescaling to PDLP's initial scaling pipeline, run before
the existing Ruiz and Pock-Chambolle passes. On the Mittelmann LPfeas
benchmark this gives an 18% performance improvement. No regression on MIPLIB root relaxations.
Implementation
curtis_reid_scaling()ininitial_scaling.cu: a log-domainleast-squares fit (Curtis & Reid, 1972) minimizing
sum((log|a_ij| - row_scale[i] - col_scale[j])^2), solved via alternatingrow/column fixed-point iteration.
(
do_curtis_reid_scaling = true), 10 iterations(
number_of_curtis_reid_iterations = 10).scaling; Curtis-Reid does two-sided (row + column) scaling, so it's
skipped entirely for now rather than adding partial support.
version has been implemented, so it's excluded from that code path.
