📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesMIP method configuration
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes MIP root relaxation honor the configured LP method while preserving the default behavior and propagating the setting to LP and MIP configurations. It is mergeable with owner awareness that barrier-specific root-LP completion and branch-and-bound release behavior still warrant targeted runtime validation.

LGTM. This is often requested by users. As long as we always run dual simplex, the user should be able to control the root solve with method.

Make the MIP root relaxation honor CUOPT_METHOD instead of always using Concurrent. The default remains unchanged, and the configured method is propagated to both LP and MIP settings.
Improves ease of benchmarking the root solve.
