📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe branch-and-bound solver now launches asynchronous initial clique generation only for non-deterministic solves. Deterministic solves skip this path. ChangesDeterministic clique generation
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Deterministic mode now skips asynchronous clique-table generation, reducing scheduling-driven variation but changing cut-generation behavior in that mode. The PR should not merge until a focused high-contention regression test confirms repeated deterministic solves remain identical while the non-deterministic path remains enabled.

Add regression coverage for the deterministic branch.
Add or update a unit test in cpp/tests/mip/determinism_test.cu. Enable clique_cuts and zero_half_cuts. Run the solve with the high-contention thread count. Repeat the deterministic solve and compare the objective and termination status. Verify the relevant cut behavior when the test fixture exposes it. Keep a non-deterministic case to confirm that the asynchronous path remains enabled.
As per coding guidelines: **/*.{cpp,cc,cxx,h,hpp,cu,cuh}: Add unit tests.

In a high thread contention scenario (i.e., more threads than cores), the clique table generation is competing with the root heuristics for cores. This causes the clique and zero-half cuts to be different from one run to another. This sometimes occurs in
reproducible_high_contentiontest.As a temporary measure, the clique table generation is disabled in determinism mode.
