Disable fixed-variable presolve when a barrier cache is supplied.
When sequence_solve is false, this helper can leave fixed-variable presolve enabled even when barrier_cache is supplied. The cache API accepts this workflow and stores the transform and iteration data after an optimal solve. On a later update_linear_objective, barrier_cache_t::update_linear_objective drops the updated coefficient for a removed fixed variable but retains its old contribution in obj_constant. The next cached solve can therefore report an incorrect objective value.
Suggested fix
- return settings.sequence_solve ? 0 : settings.barrier_presolve_fixed_variables;
+ return (settings.sequence_solve || settings.barrier_cache != nullptr)
+ ? 0

Recover singleton-row slacks in reverse removal order.
The slack recovery loop runs in forward removal order. A later record can change a value that an earlier record reads, so forward order is wrong.
How the chain forms:
- Pass 1 removes row r1 = {x_j, s}. It tightens the bounds of x_j and records
slack = s. - After r1 is emptied from
A, x_j can havecol_length(j) == 1. If its objective is 0,is_slack(j)is true in pass 2. - Pass 2 removes row r2 = {x_k, x_j} and treats x_j as the slack. Line 1164 fixes x_j to 0, and postsolve must recover its real value from r2.
What goes wrong in postsolve:
- The loop first handles r1. It computes
s = (b1 - a_ij * x_j) / a_iswith the placeholder x_j. That placeholder is 0 plus the lower-bound shift. - The loop then handles r2 and overwrites x_j with the correct value.
- The returned primal solution violates row r1 by
a_ij * (x_j_final - x_j_placeholder).
Chains of zero-cost auxiliary variables commonly produce this pattern. Rows of the form x_k + j = b2 and j + s = b1 are one example.
Reverse order fixes the problem. The value of x_j recovered from r2 lies inside the bounds that r1 implied, so the s computed afterward lies inside its own bounds. The dual pass below already iterates in reverse for the same reason.
