Summary

The CP-SAT partition backend accepted a FEASIBLE solver status silently. When the solver hits --cp-sat-timeout on a larger diff (the model has one boolean per unit×slot×pair, so ~70 units already exceed the default 15 s) it returns whatever feasible assignment it had — often dozens of singleton groups — and the user had no way to tell that from a proven-optimal plan.

A FEASIBLE result now logs a warning: CP-SAT stopped at the 15.0s limit with a feasible but unproven-optimal plan (70 units, 37 groups); raise --cp-sat-timeout for a better partition. OPTIMAL stays silent; INFEASIBLE/UNKNOWN still raise as before.

Test plan

  • test_feasible_but_not_optimal_is_warned (patches CpSolver.Solve to report FEASIBLE after a real solve) and test_optimal_solution_does_not_warn — both fail on main
  • Review confirmed the warning reaches stderr on a real time-limited solve (30 units, 3 s)
  • 446 tests pass, ruff clean
  • Local review: 5/5

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Added a warning when the planner finds a feasible solution but cannot prove it is optimal within the configured timeout.
    • Warning details include the timeout and guidance to increase the CP-SAT timeout for potentially better results.
    • Improved graph partitioning behavior for cyclic inputs, including safer grouping and minimum-size corrections.
    • Added validation to reject invalid cyclic partitioning results.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for solver warnings and graph partitioning edge cases.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a CP-SAT warning for feasible results without proven optimality. It also expands partitioning tests for configurable settings and graph cycles, including cycle-safe grouping, repair, and backend-output validation.

Changes

Partitioning validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
CP-SAT warning flow
pr_split/logs.py, pr_split/planner/partitioning.py, tests/test_partitioning.py
The partitioner logs the configured timeout and resulting unit and group counts for feasible, non-optimal CP-SAT results. Tests verify warning behavior and optimal-result silence.
Graph cycle validation
tests/test_partitioning.py
Tests cover acyclic ordering, cycle detection, cycle-safe grouping and repair, and rejection of cyclic backend output.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3747

The PR correctly warns when partitioning stops with a feasible but unproven-optimal result, but the warning may display a rounded timeout for small configured values and therefore misstate the actual limit. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Comment thread pr_split/logs.py Outdated
…warning

A float timeout below 0.1s rendered as '0.0s' under {timeout:.1f}, so the
warning that tells the user which limit to raise did not name the real
limit. Use {timeout:g}, and cover the sub-decisecond case; the existing
test used 0.5, which formats identically under both spellings.
