MPI.jl has some restrictions on what operations can be used for MPI reductions when running on ARM (or other non-x86) chips (https://juliaparallel.org/MPI.jl/stable/knownissues/#Custom-reduction-operators). In some test cases, we use Float128 from Quadmath.jl, which triggers a 'custom' reduction operation, which is unsupported on ARM. The workaround is to 'register' an MPI.Op for addition of Float128, using MPI.@RegisterOp.

Avoids errors when running on ARM chips.
No longer needed, and causes MPI.jl to be restricted to an old version,
when we need a newer one for MPI.@RegisterOp.

This is needed for the docs build, as Something is preventing MPI.jl
from using the latest version in that workflow. Updating Julia
apparently updates whatever was blocking MPI.jl from updating.
@johnomotani johnomotani force-pushed the fix-macos-MPI.Reduce-error branch from b45e00f to 214abbc Compare February 18, 2026 12:21
Update to Julia-1.12 has increased rounding errors slightly in CI.
