Two invariants of the BlockBve branch are unchecked:

The existing assert covers only the boundary width.rec.bve.witness[pattern]is only written for boundary patterns the projection found feasible. For an infeasible pattern the slot keeps itsatomicMininitializer, and the reconstruction writes all ones. The added no-good clauses make that unreachable for a feasible reduced assignment, so an assert is the right way to record the invariant.🛡️ Proposed asserts

Inline comments:
In `@cpp/src/math_optimization/solver_settings.cu`:
- Around line 214-216: Update the block-BVE loop guard to require
run_probing_cache, adding !run_probing_cache to the existing condition so
block_bve_presolve is skipped when probing is disabled. Preserve the current BVE
behavior when the probing cache is enabled.
In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/diversity/diversity_manager.cu`:
- Around line 364-373: Guard the update_variable_bounds call in the surrounding
modification function so it runs only when var_indices is non-empty, matching
apply_modification_queue_to_problem. Keep n_applied assigned from
var_indices.size() and preserve the existing return behavior.
- Around line 481-494: Update the GPU-export block in solve_mip around
problem_to_mps_data_model and mps_writer_t::write to avoid calling exit from
library code; return through the normal solver path and propagate export success
or failure to the caller. Check the result of writer.write and report failures
instead of treating them as successful completion. Sanitize instance_name before
forming mps_path so model-provided path separators cannot escape the working
directory.
In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/presolve/block_bve.cu`:
- Around line 1111-1135: Make the deterministic-order fixes in
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/presolve/block_bve.cu at lines 1111-1135 and 716-717:
sort each adjacency list in the helper that builds and returns out, and have
grow_seed_interior iterate a sorted copy of cands_w for stable boundary-size
tie-breaking. In the per-bin work estimate at lines 716-717, accumulate
operation counts as an integer and convert to double only once after summing, so
the result is independent of bins iteration order.
- Around line 1015-1027: Update the growth loop around grow_seed_interior to use
taskloop when block_bve_presolve is called from an existing OpenMP team,
avoiding nested teams, while retaining a parallel-for fallback for callers
outside any team. Preserve the current per-seed growth_done handling, result
assignment, and interior moves in both execution paths.
In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/problem/problem.cu`:
- Around line 2113-2128: Update the empty-state assignment near nnz
initialization to match op_problem_cstr_body: mark the problem empty whenever
the constraint matrix has no entries, including n_constraints == 0 with
remaining variables. Preserve the existing nnz calculation and validation
checks, and anchor the change to the empty assignment in the constructor
handling variables_in and coefficients_in.
- Line 208: Update the initialization of objective_offset in the affected
problem reconstruction flow so that when no_deep_copy is false it uses the same
reconstructed presolve_data source as the corresponding presolve_data field,
rather than problem_.presolve_data.objective_offset. Keep objective_offset
consistent with the rebuilt data after presolve.
In `@cpp/tests/mip/block_bve_test.cu`:
- Around line 797-801: In the test block that reconstructs recon_obj, assert
that m_obj.size() equals full.size() before iterating. Then iterate over the
full objective vector without the mismatched-size guard, preserving the existing
EXPECT_NEAR comparison.
- Around line 666-678: Make the size guard in brute_force_binary fatal by
replacing EXPECT_LE(nv, 24) with ASSERT_LE so oversized reduced models return
before the exponential loop. Because ASSERT_* requires a void-returning
function, update brute_force_binary and its callers to use an out-parameter for
bve_bf_t while preserving the existing result behavior.
In `@skills/cuopt-developer/SKILL.md`:
- Line 174: Re-run NVSkills validation for the updated skill set and refresh the
signature commit so it covers the current SKILL.md and related skill files.
Update the workflow around the skill package validation/signing step to
regenerate skill.oms.sig after the latest push, and keep the resulting signature
commit in the branch history as the expected artifact.

Nitpick comments:
In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/presolve/block_bve.cu`:
- Line 1321: Preserve row names when rebuilding constraints in the block-BVE
flow: derive names for the surviving original rows from problem.row_names using
the same kept-row mapping as new_off/new_var/new_coef, append generated names
for newly added clause rows, and pass the resulting names instead of {} to
set_constraints_from_host_csr. Ensure the name list matches the rebuilt
constraint count and preserves existing names for unchanged rows.
In `@cpp/src/mip_heuristics/presolve/probing_cache.cu`:
- Around line 194-201: Clarify the cache-presence condition in the probing-cache
insertion logic by replacing the negated count comparison with an explicit

probing_cache.count(var_original); keep the existing insertion and update

uint32_t witness. After selecting rec.bve.witness[pattern], assert that the

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert the lower bound of every index used to address h_assignment.
The four index asserts only check the upper bound. rec.bve.boundary[j], rec.bve.interior[k], rec.sub.substituted_var, and rec.sub.substituting_var are all signed i_t, and each one is produced by mapping a column through variable_mapping. A mapped value of -1 passes every one of these asserts and then indexes h_assignment out of range. Add the non-negative half so a broken mapping fails at the record that produced it.

I think Chris also implemented a continued-fractional variable. Maybe it is better to use that.

Thanks Alice! Great results! I couldn't review the BVE reductions in detail but I reviewed the surrounding logic. Have you tested the probing_cache probe counts, runtime of cuopt presolve and the impact of this to primal gap/integral ? Since this is some heavy presolve logic, I would run a benchmark with asserts to see if there is any obvious issue, later it is quite hard to find presolve related issues.

Can you explain a bit what isbatch_recs? Also why is there a need for new logic to handle substitutions? Can't we just convert the BVE substitutions into already existing format?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's the postsolve stack for cuOpt reductions (subsitutions only previously, now the blockBVE reconstructions as well). Agreed that it's a terrible name :) Will rename to postsolve_reconstructions or something.
For the question, the BVE reconstructions are a bit more complicated in that they consider the values of multiple binaries (the "boundary"), turn this into a bit pattern, and index it into a precomputed table to reconstruct another set of binaries (the "interior"). This can't be expressed with affine substitutions nor with Papilo's postsolve tools, so I had to add a new type of postsolve operation for this

Doesn't a cache entry with EQUALS interval and entry.val_interval.val == probed_valcause a conflict unless it is the same forced value?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, and if there's a conflict, we conclude this forces a fixing to the other value for the binary variable (or the problem is infeasible)

Okay, you are doing what i described already:) But I couldn't see how you report infeasibility with n_contradicted, do you report infeasibility with it somewhere?

The logic is a bit complicated here. Do you think if there is a way to convert the bve substitutions into a standardized substitutions?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It's not really possible I think :/ They're not affine substitutions at all. I will do a bit of cleanup for readability though

This is existing code, I just moved it into a shared header :) I'll see if it's possible to unify everything cleanly

I looked, I could unify them, but maybe in a later PR because I'm concerned of accidentally changing semantics and breaking cut generation

Thanks for the review work Akif :) I've added benchmark numbers in the PR description. We're slightly better in feasibility, primal gap, and primal integral, mostly thanks to the bnatt400 solve. SGM doesn't really change, but as far as I can see this is all within typical run to run variance. I saw no obvious regression |

This PR adds a binary reduction presolving pass inspired by SAT-related bounded variable elimination work such as "Effective Preprocessing in SAT through Variable and Clause Elimination" (SAT 2005).
Block BVE eliminates a small set of non-objective binary variables (the interior) by projecting the constraints they appear in onto the other binary variables of those same rows (the boundary), which stay in the model.
For every assignment of the boundary it checks if the interior can be set to satisfy each row of the block.
The assignments admitting no such setting are everything the block still forces on the rest of the
model, so these can be turned into no-good rows while eliminating the interior columns altogether. Reductions requiring new no-good clauses are only committed if they would result in fewer total rows, to avoid excessive growth.
Candidates come from the probing cache. Each non-objective binary carrying at least one edge becomes a seed, tried in order of increasing row count, grown one variable at a time: among the eligible implication neighbors of the current interior, it absorbs whichever leaves the smallest boundary, and only while the boundary strictly shrinks.
Each grown interior is staged into a block and dropped if it breaks preset caps. Disjoint candidates are batched and enumerated on the GPU, yielding a feasibility bit and witness interior per boundary pattern, and the derived clauses are checked against that table and checked for growth.
Results are as follows on MIPLIB2017. Most reductions occur on mostly-binary combinatorial problems like the bnatt class, the piperout class, and the cryptanalysis classes.
We now find +1 feasible/optimal: bnatt400 The BKS is found in ~5s, and optimality proven after B&B in ~2min.
