Variables with equal lower and upper bounds contribute a constant to the
objective and a constant to each row activity, so they can be folded into the
objective constant and the right-hand side and dropped. Postsolve restores their
value from the recorded bound and recovers their reduced cost from the final
duals as z_j = c_j - a_j^T y, which is what dual feasibility A^T y + z = c
requires; it cannot be recorded during presolve because y is not known yet.
Columns carrying a quadratic objective term are left in place, since a fixed
variable's contribution to x'Qx is not a pure constant. Cone columns are also
left alone: they must stay a contiguous trailing block and the barrier rejects
explicit bounds on them.
Two existing problems this depends on, both fixed here:
- The number of leading linear columns is now re-measured after the column
reductions. It was captured before them and then used to index lower/upper,
so it already read out of bounds whenever remove_empty_cols dropped a
column, and would have read 167184 entries past the end on the instance
below.
- The barrier is skipped when presolve leaves no columns at all. Reading the
correct column count surfaces that case rather than hiding it behind the
out-of-bounds read above. The barrier cannot form a KKT system with no
columns, and the solution is already fully determined by postsolve.
Empty rows are now removed after the column reductions rather than before, so
rows left empty by them are removed too. Removing an empty row cannot change any
column's nonzero count, so the previous order gained nothing.
Controlled by barrier_presolve_fixed_variables (-1 automatic/enabled,
0 disabled, 1 enabled). On db-joint-soerensen this removes 167184 of 2477529
columns and 2.5% of the nonzeros.

The only conflict was in solve_linear_program_with_barrier, where both sides rewrote the same barrier_solver construction: this branch added the early-out for a presolved-away LP (barrier_lp.num_cols == 0), while main added the barrier cache (store the transform before solving, pass the cache into barrier_solver.solve, then record linear_obj_shift on success). The two are independent, so main's cache handling now lives in the else branch of the early-out. The early-out clears the cache when it is taken. That path never constructs a barrier_solver_t, so there is no factorization for a later solve to warm start from, and leaving a stale transform in place behind an OPTIMAL return would let the reuse_c_only fast path hand a zero-column LP to solve_with_cache.

- Around line 2044-2057: Ensure fixed-variable reduced-cost recovery uses the
original converted LP rather than the size-only placeholder on reuse solves.
Update barrier_transform_t to retain the original converted LP and pass it
through uncrush_solution, or disable cache reuse whenever
presolve_info.fixed_variables is non-empty; preserve the existing recovery
calculation in uncrush_solution.
- Around line 261-362: Update remove_fixed_variables so has_quadratic_term marks
a variable when it appears in either a nonempty Q row or any Q column entry,
including upper-triangular entries whose row index is smaller than the variable
index. Perform this participation check before fixed-variable removal,
preserving all Q-referenced variables from being removed and reindexed to -1.

Document the new barrier presolve setting. solver_settings.cu exposes CUOPT_BARRIER_PRESOLVE_FIXED_VARIABLES with values -1 (automatic, enabled), 0 (disabled), and 1 (enabled), and a default of -1. The manually maintained Barrier Solver Settings section in docs/cuopt/source/convex-settings.rst does not describe it. Add an entry that states its barrier-presolve scope and supported values.

Treat both Q rows and columns as quadratic participation. Supported LP and MPS parsers emit upper-triangular CSR quadratic data. For an entry (i, j) with i < j, variable j has no entry in its own Q row but remains a Q column. The user-problem and presolve conversion paths preserve this representation.
When barrier presolve is enabled, remove_fixed_variables checks only row j. It can therefore remove a fixed variable that is referenced by a retained Q row. Reindexing then maps that Q column to -1, triggering the assertion in debug builds and leaving an invalid Q index in release builds.
Mark variables as participating in Q when they appear in either a Q row or a Q column before removing fixed variables.

Pass the original converted LP to fixed-variable reduced-cost recovery. A first solve can cache presolve_info.fixed_variables when a fixed linear column is removed while a separate quadratic column remains. reuse_c_only does not exclude this state.
On the second solve, the reuse path passes a size-only converted LP to uncrush_solution. lp_problem_t(..., 0) value-initializes its objective to zero and gives it an empty matrix. Recovery therefore sets each fixed variable's z_j to zero instead of c_j - a_j^T y. The returned solution can violate A^T y + z = c.
Store the original converted LP in barrier_transform_t and pass it to uncrush_solution, or disable cache reuse when presolve_info.fixed_variables is non-empty.

fixed-variable reduced-cost recovery uses the original converted LP rather than
the size-only placeholder on reuse solves. Update barrier_transform_t to retain
the original converted LP and pass it through uncrush_solution, or disable cache
reuse whenever presolve_info.fixed_variables is non-empty; preserve the existing
recovery calculation in uncrush_solution.

Why do this for barrier only? |

It's a byproduct of another pending PR to improve robustness of barrier on hard SOCP problems. I thought MIP's presolve is handled to PSLP, please correct me if I'm incorrect. |

Description
Variables with equal lower and upper bounds contribute a constant to the objective and a constant to each row activity, so they can be folded into obj_constant and the RHS and dropped before the barrier forms its KKT system.
remove_fixed_variables already existed in presolve.cpp but was never called from anywhere — it was dead code, and it did not record the bookkeeping postsolve needs. This PR rewrites it to be postsolve-correct and wires it into presolve() behind a new setting.
On db-joint-soerensen this removes 167,184 of 2,477,529 columns and 2.5% of the nonzeros.
