Replace the tree update with a lock-free version - #2211
This PR replaces the lock-based tree update with a lock-free version. This also eliminates the stack allocation for removing the fathomed nodes. This also removes the default parameter for the fetch_* methods in omp_atomic_t. Operators, e.g., ++ and +=, uses the relaxed ordering (same as before).
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Walkthrough
The changes update atomic memory-order handling across branch-and-bound and heuristic code. Nodes now track active child counts, and inactive statuses propagate through ancestors. Search paths set node statuses directly instead of using search-tree updates.
Changes: Branch-and-Bound Synchronization and Node Status
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Atomic operations and worker-pool state cpp/src/utilities/omp_helpers.hpp, cpp/src/branch_and_bound/worker_pool.hpp, cpp/src/branch_and_bound/node_queue.hpp, cpp/src/branch_and_bound/worker.hpp, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/local_search/local_search.cu, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/root_heuristics.hpp
Atomic operations now require explicit memory orders and include generic fetch_min and fetch_max methods. Worker-pool initialization uses an atomic state with release and acquire operations. Related worker, queue, and heuristic atomic operations specify memory orders.
Child counts and ancestor propagation cpp/src/branch_and_bound/mip_node.hpp
Nodes track active child counts. When an inactive status leaves an ancestor with no active children, that ancestor becomes fathomed, receives a lower bound from its children, and resets its child pointers. The search-tree update method and mutex are removed.
Branch-and-bound status and bound updates cpp/src/branch_and_bound/branch_and_bound.cpp, cpp/src/branch_and_bound/branch_and_bound.hpp
Search and pruning paths set statuses directly on nodes. Bound and counter accesses use explicit relaxed ordering, and integer-pivot increments use relaxed ordering.
NVIDIA/cuopt#1684: Adds the search-tree update and cleanup path that this pull request removes and replaces with node-level status propagation.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to cfbd4
Node completion now records results before releasing nodes, and child-bound propagation synchronizes concurrent updates. No merge-blocking issue is evident.

Explanation
Title check
The title clearly summarizes the main change: replacing the lock-based tree update with a lock-free implementation.
Description check
The description explains the lock-free tree update, removal of stack allocation, atomic ordering changes, and reported testing results.
Docstring Coverage
Docstring coverage is inconclusive: files from earlier reviews still need to be rechecked within the check's analysis limits. Not blocking.

- Line 1389: In solve_node_deterministic, call worker.record_infeasible before
setting the node to INFEASIBLE. In update_tree_impl, keep the HAS_CHILDREN
update before policy.on_node_completed, then set inactive statuses only after
the callback; do not access node_ptr after set_status with an inactive status.
Review comments at @cpp/src/branch_and_bound/mip_node.hpp:
- Line 193: Update the parent_ptr->num_children decrement to use explicit
acquire-release ordering so the thread observing the final child completion
synchronizes with sibling lower_bound writes; add a concurrency stress test for
simultaneous sibling completion.

solve_node_deterministic can return after update_tree_impl frees node as the last inactive child. The caller then stores that dangling pointer, and the next iteration uses it in node->parent == worker.last_solved_node. Store the pointer only when the node has children and remains live.

Update the `last_solved_node` assignment after `solve_node_deterministic` so it
retains `node` only when `status` is `HAS_CHILDREN`; otherwise clear it to
`nullptr`. Keep the existing handling of `PENDING` results unchanged.

This PR replaces the lock-based tree update with a lock-free version. This also eliminates the stack allocation for removing the fathomed nodes. This also removes the default parameter for the
fetch_*methods inomp_atomic_t. Operators, e.g.,++and+=, uses therelaxedordering (same as before).EOS (H100 + 28C/56T), 10min, 2 runs
This slightly increase the number of nodes explored, which help to prove optimality for some instances, but it is inconsistent.
