- Around line 323-330: Update the direct_free_variables rebuild after remapping
cone_var_start to iterate through linear_variable_count(problem), not
problem.cone_var_start, so no-cone QPs scan all linear columns. Preserve the
no-cone cone_var_start sentinel and ensure eliminated accounting uses the
correctly rebuilt free-variable list.
In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/scaling.cpp`:
- Around line 118-120: Update the automatic-skip logic in the scaling routine so
bound-magnitude imbalance is considered before returning unit column scales,
ensuring QP/SOCP inputs receive bound-magnitude pre-scaling even when A/Q ratios
are balanced. Preserve the intentional force-off behavior for
qcqp_ruiz_equilibration = 0, and keep the existing bound pre-scaling block’s
behavior unchanged.

Rebuild direct free variables over all linear columns.
For a QP without cones, linear_variable_count(problem) returns problem.num_cols, while cone_var_start remains 0. After eliminate_free_variables removes any eligible variable, the current rebuild loop runs zero times and drops every remaining free variable from direct_free_variables. A free variable skipped by q_present, for example, is then not marked as free by the barrier. The eliminated count also overstates the result because it subtracts the cleared list size.
Remapping column 0 to -1 does occur, but no-cone linear_variable_count, scaling, and barrier cone checks do not use that value as a column index. Preserve the no-cone sentinel and use the linear-column count for the rebuild:

Reject numerically small elimination pivots.
The elimination path runs before column scaling and rejects only exact-zero incident coefficients. A shorter pivot row can therefore contain an arbitrarily small nonzero pivot_coefficient. Each other incident row computes factor = a_ij / pivot_coefficient, and the same factor updates problem.rhs[i]. This can overflow or amplify roundoff in the reduced coefficients and RHS before the barrier receives the problem.
Add a configurable relative pivot threshold based on the largest incident coefficient. Reuse the established pivot-tolerance policy instead of hard-coding 0.01. Skip elimination when no incident coefficient meets the threshold.

A pivot is accepted only if it is large relative to both its row and its column, otherwise the variable stays free in the augmented system.
Keep the largest-in-row and largest-in-column tests without exposing them as solver settings.

DefaultPrecision uses the problem's native precision; SinglePrecision runs PDHG in FP32 (half the memory, roughly 2x faster iterations, possibly more of them); DoublePrecision forces FP64; MixedPrecision stores the constraint matrix in FP32 for faster SpMV while keeping vectors and compute in FP64 (convergence checks still use the FP64 matrix, so memory is not reduced). Default: DefaultPrecision." | ||

This seems to be irrelevant to changes in this PR.

agreed, but this is what failing from my previous merge

@rg20 Added new parameter, but somehow workflow missed updating or flagging the missing items in mcp, so it started failing, I am working on filling that gap.

Since we choose row and column tolerance to be 1, the pivot is of the largest coefficient in both row and column. It's possible to improve the computational efficiency from L435-L466, which has several loop layers may harm dense row or column.

Agreed! We can do this as a follow up PR. Did you notice any performance bottleneck with this presolver?

Not an issue on current problems, just found too many layers of loop in these parts and realized simplification is possible.

I'm not sure stationary_residual is a good name. This is just the dual residual. Could we change this to compute_dual_residual?

Nit: we usually try to put the time at the very end of the line. So this might be better as
Eliminated XX free variables by equality substitution (YY skipped by pivot threshold) in ZZ seconds.

Description
This PR adds a new presolver for QP/SOCP. Zero-cost free linear variables are substituted out of an equality and the corresponding row and column are dropped. For LP, PSLP most likely already does this.
Substitution is accepted only when it does not widen the range of numerical values; otherwise the variable stays free in the augmented system.
With this PR, hub1 (QPLIB) converges to optimality. Previously the solve was highly unstable
