This brings parity with the legacy http server. In order to support this, the feature has to be wired into the gRPC server as well. This optionally causes the last incumbent solution received via the GET callback to be sent back into the solver. The behavior is the same as the legacy http server.

This PR does 3 things:

  1. wire the callback in the gRPC server if the flag is set
  2. support the flag in the gRPC transport so the client can pass it
  3. support the flag in the proxy server so it can be passed to gRPC through the client

I can break up the PR into 3 smaller PRs if that is helpful ...

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds enable_set_incumbent to gRPC and Python MIP submissions and forwards it through unary and chunked requests. The server can capture the latest incumbent and register a callback that restores it. The HTTP proxy accepts and forwards the option for MIP submissions.

Changes

Incumbent Set Submission Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
gRPC contract and flag propagation
cpp/include/cuopt/grpc/cython_grpc_client.hpp, cpp/src/grpc/client/*, cpp/src/grpc/cuopt_remote*.proto, cpp/src/grpc/grpc_*mapper.*, cpp/src/grpc/codegen/generate_conversions.py, cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_client_test.cpp
Public signatures, protobuf messages, mappers, and client paths carry enable_set_incumbent into unary and chunked MIP requests. Client tests check both flag combinations for both upload paths.
Server incumbent callback handling
cpp/src/grpc/server/grpc_incumbent_callbacks.hpp, cpp/src/grpc/server/grpc_worker.cpp, cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_integration_test.cpp, cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_pipe_serialization_test.cpp
The worker reads the option and captures the latest incumbent when enabled. It registers EchoSetSolutionCallback for MIP solves. Tests cover callback registration and callback state behavior.
Python and HTTP option wiring
python/cuopt/cuopt/grpc/client/*, python/cuopt_server/cuopt_server/proxy_webserver.py, python/cuopt_server/cuopt_server/tests/test_grpc_http_proxy.py, docs/cuopt/source/cuopt-grpc/api.rst
The Python client and HTTP proxy accept and forward the option for MIP submissions. The managed endpoint passes it as false. The API reference describes the callback option.

Nice end-to-end feature -- traced it through proto/client/server/callback dispatch/proxy and it all checks out, tests are solid. One non-blocking naming/docs nit below.

🟠 Major · Skip pipe serialization when no pipe is configured. · grpc_worker.cpp:175

cpp/src/grpc/server/grpc_worker.cpp:175
🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Skip pipe serialization when no pipe is configured.

When enable_set_incumbent is enabled without incumbent streaming, get_solution captures the incumbent and then allocates and copies a second full assignment before fd_ < 0 discards it. Move the descriptor check immediately after record_get_solution to avoid this per-incumbent allocation and copy.

Suggested fix
     if (capture_last_) { state_.record_get_solution(data, objective_value); }
 
+    if (fd_ < 0) { return; }
+
     double objective = 0.0;
     std::vector<double> assignment;
     assignment.resize(n_variables);
@@
-    if (fd_ < 0) { return; }

     auto buffer = build_incumbent_proto(job_id_, objective, assignment);

Add set-only coverage for each MIP submission path.

The unary C++ test, chunked C++ test, and HTTP proxy test all enable both flags. They do not detect forwarding that incorrectly makes enable_set_incumbent depend on enable_incumbents.

Keep the combined-flag cases and add set-only cases:

  • C++: call submit_mip(..., false, true) and assert enable_incumbents is false while enable_set_incumbent is true in the unary request and chunked header.
  • HTTP: send only incumbent_set_solutions=True and assert the recorded fields are false and true.

- Line 684: Align `_is_mip` with `Client.submit` by classifying variable type
`"S"` as MIP, replacing the current `"B"` classification as needed so
`incumbent_set_enabled` is true when incumbent solutions are requested for such
models.
