Review comments at @cpp/src/branch_and_bound/branch_and_bound.cpp:
- Around line 2306-2312: Update the B&B subproblem eligibility guard to include
`settings_.submip_settings.mutation`, gate the worker-0 `mutation` dispatch on
that setting being nonzero, and ensure mutation-only configurations do not send
other workers through the RENS fallback. Leave `submip_settings` out of the
task’s explicit firstprivate clause.
- Around line 2638-2645: In apply_mutation, replace the direct bound assignment
with fix_variable so the rounded incumbent is clamped to the current bounds. In
feasible_solution_symbol, add an explicit MUTATION case that returns M when
solution types are shown, preserving the existing collapsed D behavior when they
are hidden.
- Around line 2772-2799: In mutation, handle an empty integer_list before any
mutation or fix-rate calculation and route the worker through the existing
cleanup path. In dive_with, exclude MUTATION workers from the
diving_worker_pool_ return branch to prevent returning them to both pools.
Update the mutation CPU FJ create_worker call to pass original_problem_.num_cols
as n_structural.
Review comments at @cpp/src/mip_heuristics/root_heuristics.hpp:
- Around line 96-107: Update create_mutation_worker to initialize the worker’s
start_node from the root objective and root variable statuses, and copy the root
statuses and LP solution values into leaf_vstatus and leaf_solution.x. Pass
those root-state values from the caller when creating the mutation worker.

2807-2825: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winHandle an empty
integer_listbefore mutation fixing.
get_unfixed_integer_variablesasserts when every integer variable is already fixed. This state is possible after cut passes and reduced-cost fixing tighten the root bounds. In release builds, the list stays empty andcalculate_fixratedivides by zero, sofixratebecomes NaN. NaN fails thefixrate < min_fixrate_captest, so the code callssolve_submipand passes the NaN tosave_successandsave_infeasible. The NaN then corruptsmutation_stats_and every latersubmip_get_max_fixrateresult.Return early through the worker cleanup path when the list is empty. The assert must also allow an empty list, or this function must not call the helper in that state.
Proposed fix
std::vector<i_t> integer_list; get_unfixed_integer_variables( lower, upper, worker->var_types, submip_settings.fixed_tol, integer_list); + if (integer_list.empty()) { + if (!submip_settings.inside_root_node) { + submip_worker_pool_.return_worker_to_pool(worker); + } else { + worker->set_inactive(); + } + return; + } worker->rng.shuffle(integer_list);🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

This implements the mutation heuristic from [1], which fix a random subset of integer variables$\mathcal{R} \subseteq \mathcal{I}$ to their value in the current incumbent and then solve the resulting sub-MIP:

In particular, the primal gap for$62$ to $25$ , $53$ to $39$ and $19$ to $4.5$ . Other gains are mostly from the variance between runs. In EOS, the performance gain is only slightly better due to the lower number of threads.
