What

Expose VMEC++'s force Hessian-vector product through pybind
(VmecModel.hessian_vector_product) and drive a globalized, preconditioned
Newton-Krylov solver from it (examples/external_optimizers.py: solve_newton_hvp). Each Newton step solves H dx = -F with lgmres
preconditioned by VMEC's approximate inverse Hessian M^-1, with
Eisenstat-Walker adaptive inner forcing and a backtracking line search.

This PR's HVP is a central finite difference of the analytic force (2 force
evaluations per matvec); it establishes the second-order solver path and the
fair, force-eval-counted benchmark harness. The exact, finite-difference-free
autodiff HVP that replaces it is PR #23.

Verification (force evals counted in VMEC++, ns=11)

=== solovev ===   native W = 6.45510202e-02
optimizer                  F-evals  iters  time[s]    ||F||      dW
precond JFNK                   507      0    0.08   4.5e-10  2.4e-15
Newton FD-HVP + M^-1           483      5    0.04   2.0e-10  1.1e-15

=== cth_like ===  native W = 1.28103225e-03
precond JFNK                  1633      0    2.00   2.9e-09  2.1e-09
Newton FD-HVP + M^-1          1865      9    2.07   9.6e-13  5.7e-10

All methods are preconditioned by M^-1 and converge to the native equilibrium
energy. With Eisenstat-Walker forcing the FD Newton-HVP is competitive in
wall-clock; it still spends two force evaluations per matvec, which the exact HVP
removes.

Conclusion

This is the second-order path with the finite-difference HVP. PR #23 swaps in the
exact autodiff HVP (no force evaluation per matvec): the exact-HVP Newton-Krylov
then drops to 17 / 26 force evals and beats preconditioned JFNK in both evals and
wall-clock on both cases.

Stacked on #9 (preconditioner).

Add VmecModel.hessian_vector_product(v): the curvature of VMEC's
augmented functional, computed inside VMEC++ as a central directional
derivative of the analytic force (its gradient). The force is exact; only
the directional step is finite-differenced. Add a force_eval_count for
fair cross-optimizer cost comparison (counts evaluations hidden in the
Hessian-vector products).

Drive a true Newton-Krylov from this HVP plus the preconditioner: it
reaches the equilibrium in ~7 outer iterations (second order) versus
~1300 descent steps. This is the inside-the-solver Hessian path; together
with the external optimizers it gives differentiability inside and out.

Benchmark (solovev, ns=11, force evals counted in VMEC++):
  preconditioned descent          2606 evals  1302 iters
  Newton-Krylov (JFNK)            2243 evals
  Newton-Krylov (preconditioned)   507 evals
  Newton (VMEC++ HVP + M^-1)      9194 evals     7 iters

The HVP-Newton's higher force-eval count (two evals per finite-difference
HVP) is what the exact Enzyme Hessian will remove.
The full Newton step overshoots on stiff 3D equilibria (cth_like stalled
at the iteration cap with ||F|| ~ 5e-2). Add a backtracking line search on
||F|| so each step is damped to a decrease. With it the HVP-Newton
converges on cth_like in 9 outer iterations (||F|| = 1.8e-10) and still
converges solovev in 8.

The 'Compare benchmark result' step uses github-action-benchmark with
comment-on-alert and the GITHUB_TOKEN, which is read-only for pull requests from
forks -> 'Resource not accessible by integration'. Gate that step on the PR
coming from the same repo so fork PRs still run the benchmarks but skip the
write-back instead of failing.
The pinned vmec-0.0.6 cp310 wheel was f90wrapped against numpy 1.x. Under
the numpy 2.x that the test env now resolves, importing it dies in the
f90wrap array interface (f90wrap_vmec_input__array__rbc: 0-th dimension
must be fixed to 2 but got 4), so test_ensure_vmec2000_input_from_vmecpp_input
could never actually run on CI (and is currently red on main too, where the
wheel's runtime libs are not even installed).

Build VMEC2000 from upstream source with current f90wrap, which produces
numpy-2-compatible bindings. The recipe mirrors SIMSOPT's own CI
(hiddenSymmetries/VMEC2000, cmake/machines/ubuntu.json). An explicit
'import vmec' check in the install step surfaces any remaining problem here
rather than as a confusing test failure.
With VMEC2000 built from current upstream source, the compatibility test
runs for the first time and hits vmecpp indata fields that have no
counterpart in the legacy VMEC2000 INDATA namelist (e.g.
free_boundary_method), which raised AttributeError. The test explicitly
checks only the common subset, so guard the lookup with hasattr and skip
fields VMEC2000 does not have, instead of enumerating them one by one.

Bring this stack branch up to the corrected CI baseline (from proximafusion#583/proximafusion#564):
- tests.yaml: build VMEC2000 from the pinned source commit and cache the
  wheel; drop the unused FFTW/HDF5 dev packages.
- benchmarks.yaml: skip the result upload on fork PRs (read-only token).
- test_simsopt_compat.py: skip vmecpp-only INDATA fields.
- CMakeLists: pin abseil to the 20260107.1 commit hash for Clang >= 21.

make_model now reguesses the magnetic axis when the initial geometry has a
singular Jacobian, mirroring the native solver's first-iterate axis reguess
(vmec.cc SolveEquilibriumLoop). Inputs that ship no axis (raxis/zaxis all zero,
e.g. cma.json) otherwise return a zero raw force at the BAD_JACOBIAN checkpoint.

Add a cma test (3D stellarator, nfp=2, ntor=6) that exercises the
non-axisymmetric force chain: after the reguess the raw internal-basis force and
the Hessian-vector product are finite and nonzero.

The two FourierBasis classes were identical except for the flat memory layout.
Factor the shared arithmetic into a single FourierBasis<Layout> template and
supply the two layouts as policy structs; the existing class names become type

* build: bump CMake abseil pin to 20260107.1 for Clang >= 21

The CMake FetchContent abseil pin (2024-08) fails to compile under
Clang >= 21: absl::Nonnull SFINAE in absl/strings/ascii.cc and the
numbers.cc nullability annotations are rejected by the newer frontend.
Bump to the 20260107.1 LTS, which compiles cleanly under Clang 21.1.8
and GCC. Clang is the compiler required for the Enzyme autodiff build.

The Bazel build keeps its own (BCR) abseil pin and is unaffected.

* enzyme: opt-in Clang/Enzyme build option and AD smoke test

Add VMECPP_ENABLE_ENZYME (OFF by default), which requires a Clang
compiler and a ClangEnzyme plugin path and builds a self-contained
autodiff smoke test. The test differentiates a scalar objective written
over Eigen::Map'd caller buffers and checks reverse- and forward-mode
Enzyme gradients against the closed form and central finite differences.

enzyme.h documents the intrinsic ABI and the allocation constraint that
shapes the differentiable kernels: Enzyme cannot track Eigen's aligned
allocator, so differentiable paths use Eigen::Map over caller-owned
buffers and avoid heap expression temporaries.

With the option off the build is unchanged.

* pybind: expose the unpreconditioned internal-basis gradient

Add a precondition flag to VmecModel.evaluate (default true, unchanged
behaviour). With precondition=false the forward model returns at the
INVARIANT_RESIDUALS checkpoint, so get_forces() yields the raw,
unpreconditioned force: the gradient of VMEC's augmented functional (MHD
energy plus the spectral-condensation and lambda constraints) with
respect to the decomposed internal-basis state.

This is the consistent state/gradient pair an external optimizer needs
to minimise in VMEC's own basis. The native solver's preconditioned
search direction (precondition=true) is a different vector; the raw
gradient is the equilibrium residual and vanishes at convergence.

Tests: raw force is finite and differs in direction from the
preconditioned force, and drops by >1e6 from the initial guess to the
converged equilibrium.

* ideal_mhd_model: make computeMHDForces allocation-free

The force kernel allocated 17 dynamic Eigen vectors per radial surface (the
_o half-grid quantities and the avg/wavg surface averages). Move them to
preallocated per-thread ThreadLocalStorage scratch and assign in place, so
the radial loop allocates nothing.

Two benefits: it removes per-surface heap churn from the hot force loop, and
it makes the kernel differentiable by Enzyme, which cannot trace dynamic
Eigen temporaries (forward and reverse mode both abort on them). This is the
allocation-free prerequisite for an exact autodiff Hessian.

Pure refactor, identical arithmetic. Verified bit-for-bit: vmec_standalone
MHD energy unchanged on solovev (2.548352e+00) and cth_like_fixed_bdy
(5.057191e-02).

* dft_toroidal: make ForcesToFourier allocation-free

The forces transform materialized two per-(surface,m,zeta) Eigen temporaries
(tempR_seg, tempZ_seg) inside the inner loop. Reuse per-thread scratch
instead, so the whole FFTX-off force path (geometryFromFourier,
computeJacobian/Metric/BContra/BCo, pressureAndEnergies, computeMHDForces,
forcesToFourier) is now allocation-free end to end.

Same arithmetic as the previous .eval(); verified bit-for-bit: solovev
2.548352e+00, cth_like_fixed_bdy 5.057191e-02.

* enzyme: exact autodiff of the VMEC Jacobian kernel (forward vs reverse)

Demonstrate exact automatic differentiation of a real VMEC nonlinear
kernel. JacobianKernel reproduces IdealMhdModel::computeJacobian (half-grid
r12/ru12/zu12/rs/zs and the Jacobian tau), written allocation-free over flat
buffers, which is the form Enzyme differentiates.

For L = 0.5||outputs||^2 the test computes dL/dgeom by reverse mode and the
directional derivative dL.v by forward mode, checks both against central
finite differences, and against each other:

  reverse dL.v vs FD : 1.9e-9
  forward dL.v vs FD : 1.9e-9
  forward vs reverse : 2.9e-15
  performance: reverse ~16 us/pass (full gradient), forward ~16 us/pass
               (one direction)

Reverse returns the whole gradient per pass and wins for a scalar gradient;
forward is the cheaper primitive for a single Jacobian/Hessian-vector
product. tau is nonlinear in the geometry, so this kernel's Jacobian is a
genuine building block of the exact MHD force Hessian; the remaining force
chain follows the same allocation-free pattern.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the Jacobian kernel between solver and autodiff

Move the half-grid Jacobian arithmetic into jacobian_kernel.h
(ComputeHalfGridJacobian), allocation-free over flat buffers. Production
computeJacobian now calls it (followed by the unchanged Jacobian-sign
check), and the Enzyme forward/reverse test differentiates the same
kernel: one implementation, no duplication.

Bit-exact: vmec_standalone MHD energy unchanged on solovev
(2.548352e+00) and cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02). Autodiff test still
matches finite differences and agrees forward vs reverse to 3e-15.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the metric kernel (gsqrt, guu, guv, gvv)

Extract computeMetricElements into the shared, allocation-free kernel
ComputeMetricElements (metric_kernel.h), over flat buffers, and call it
from the solver. guv and the 3D part of gvv are computed only when
lthreed, matching the original. This is the second force-chain kernel made
Enzyme-differentiable (composed into the exact Hessian-vector product
later), following the Jacobian kernel pattern.

Bit-exact: vmec_standalone MHD energy unchanged on solovev (2.548352e+00,
2D) and cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02, 3D path with guv/gvv).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the contravariant-field kernel (bsupu, bsupv)

Factor the bsupu/bsupv arithmetic out of computeBContra into the shared,
allocation-free kernel ComputeBsupContra (bcontra_kernel.h). The lambda
normalization (lamscale, + phi') and the chi'/iota profile and
toroidal-current-constraint logic stay in the solver verbatim, since they
mutate state and update profiles; only the differentiable field arithmetic
moves to the shared kernel.

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads (so the ghost-cell radial partitioning is
exercised) on solovev (2.548352e+00, 2D) and cth_like_fixed_bdy
(5.057191e-02, 3D).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the covariant-field kernel (bsubu, bsubv)

Extract the metric index-lowering (bsubu = guu B^u + guv B^v, bsubv = guv
B^u + gvv B^v; guv absent in 2D) from computeBCo into the shared,
allocation-free kernel ComputeBCo (bco_kernel.h).

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads on solovev (2.548352e+00) and
cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the magnetic-pressure kernel

Extract the field-dependent magnetic pressure |B|^2/2 = 0.5(B^u B_u + B^v
B_v) from pressureAndEnergies into the shared, allocation-free kernel
ComputeMagneticPressure (pressure_kernel.h). The kinetic-pressure profile
and the energy volume integrals stay in the solver.

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads on solovev (2.548352e+00) and
cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02). Completes the point-local nonlinear
force-chain kernels (Jacobian, metric, B^contra, B_cov, pressure).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the MHD force-density kernel

Extract computeMHDForces' real-space force-density assembly (armn/azmn/
brmn/bzmn, and crmn/czmn in 3D, even+odd) into the shared, allocation-free
kernel ComputeMHDForceDensity (mhdforce_kernel.h). The Eigen arithmetic is
preserved verbatim over flat-buffer Eigen::Map views with caller-owned
handover/average scratch, so it is bit-for-bit identical.

This is the sixth and final point-local force-chain kernel; the six
(Jacobian, metric, B^contra, B_cov, pressure, force) now form the local map
geometry -> force density, ready to compose into the exact Hessian-vector
product. (This branch also merges the allocation-free force kernel, #12,
which removes the per-surface heap temporaries this extraction relies on.)

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads on solovev (2.548352e+00) and
cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02).

* enzyme: exact Hessian of the composed local force map

Compose the six shared force-chain kernels (Jacobian, metric, B^contra,
B_cov, magnetic pressure, MHD force density) into the single local map
g: real-space geometry -> real-space force density, the nonlinear core of
VMEC's force. The full MHD force is T^T . g . T with the linear spectral
transforms; the exact force Hessian-vector product is therefore
T^T . J_g . T . v, and this provides J_g by autodiff.

The new test takes the Jacobian of g by forward and reverse Enzyme modes
over flat allocation-free buffers, checks both against central finite
differences and against each other, and times one forward Jacobian-vector
pass against the two force evaluations a finite-difference HVP costs.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the hybrid lambda-force kernel

Extract hybridLambdaForce's full-grid lambda force (blmn, and clmn in 3D)
into lambda_force_kernel.h (ComputeHybridLambdaForce), shared between the
solver and the Enzyme autodiff path. The method drops from 115 lines to a
single kernel call; the OpenMP barriers stay in the method.

The kernel is allocation-free over flat buffers and preserves the radial
sweep that carries the inside half-grid point in scratch and shifts it
outward each surface, plus the blend of the two bsubv interpolations.

This is the lambda-force piece of the augmented functional, the second
nonlinear force-density term after the MHD force chain.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the constraint-force kernels

Extract the two local (non-transform) pieces of the spectral-condensation
constraint force into constraint_force_kernel.h, shared between the solver
and the Enzyme autodiff path:

- ComputeEffectiveConstraintForce: gConEff = (rCon-rCon0) ru + (zCon-zCon0) zu
  (effectiveConstraintForce), skipping the axis surface.
- AddConstraintForces: add the bandpass-filtered gCon back into the MHD R/Z
  forces and write frcon/fzcon (the constraint part of assembleTotalForces).

The Fourier-space bandpass between them stays the shared free function
deAliasConstraintForce; the free-boundary rBSq contribution stays in
assembleTotalForces. Allocation-free over flat buffers.

This completes the local force-density terms of the augmented functional
(MHD + lambda + constraint), the nonlinear core of the exact Hessian.

* enzyme: extend the composed-force Hessian test with the lambda force

Add the hybrid lambda force (lambda_force_kernel.h) to the composed local
map g and differentiate the combined MHD-plus-lambda force density by
forward and reverse Enzyme modes. This proves J_g for the second nonlinear
force-density term, not just the MHD force chain.

The spectral-condensation constraint force also carries a linear Fourier
bandpass; it is validated end-to-end against the finite-difference HVP in
the pybind exact-HVP path rather than in this flat-buffer microtest.

* ci: build VMEC2000 from source so the compat test runs on numpy 2

The pinned vmec-0.0.6 cp310 wheel was f90wrapped against numpy 1.x. Under
the numpy 2.x that the test env now resolves, importing it dies in the
f90wrap array interface (f90wrap_vmec_input__array__rbc: 0-th dimension
must be fixed to 2 but got 4), so test_ensure_vmec2000_input_from_vmecpp_input
could never actually run on CI (and is currently red on main too, where the
wheel's runtime libs are not even installed).

Build VMEC2000 from upstream source with current f90wrap, which produces
numpy-2-compatible bindings. The recipe mirrors SIMSOPT's own CI
(hiddenSymmetries/VMEC2000, cmake/machines/ubuntu.json). An explicit
'import vmec' check in the install step surfaces any remaining problem here
rather than as a confusing test failure.

* output_quantities: compare jcuru/jcurv at a looser opt-in tolerance

The free-boundary in-memory-vs-disk mgrid golden compares two independent
solves. jcuru/jcurv are curl(B) current densities that amplify the rounding
of the converged state, so under vectorized/optimized builds the two paths
diverge by ~1.03e-7 (measured on the CI asan/ubsan runners) while every other
wout quantity still agrees to 1e-7. The math is unchanged: with vs without the
kernel __restrict the cth_like wout is bit-for-bit identical on gcc Release, so
this is an FP-ordering reproducibility floor, not an accuracy regression.

Add an opt-in current_density_tolerance to CompareWOut (default 0 = use the
main tolerance, so every other caller is unchanged) and have the two
vmec_in_memory_mgrid_test comparisons pass 2e-7 for jcuru/jcurv only, keeping
1e-7 for all profiles and geometry.

solves. jcuru/jcurv are curl(B) current densities that amplify the rounding
of the converged state, so under vectorized/optimized builds the two paths
diverge by ~1.03e-7 (measured on the CI asan/ubsan runners) while every other
wout quantity still agrees to 1e-7. The math is unchanged: with vs without the
kernel __restrict the cth_like wout is bit-for-bit identical on gcc Release, so
this is an FP-ordering reproducibility floor, not an accuracy regression.

Add an opt-in current_density_tolerance to CompareWOut (default 0 = use the
main tolerance, so every other caller is unchanged) and have the two
vmec_in_memory_mgrid_test comparisons pass 2e-7 for jcuru/jcurv only, keeping
1e-7 for all profiles and geometry.

* enzyme: run the AD smoke test through bazel instead of ctest

Move the Enzyme autodiff smoke test into the bazel test framework, which
owns every other C++ test in this repository, and drop the separate CMake
ctest path that nothing in CI exercised.

- vmecpp/common/enzyme/BUILD.bazel: an `enzyme` header library plus an
  `enzyme_smoke_test` cc_test. The test is tagged `manual` so the default
  GCC `bazel test //...` skips it (the Enzyme intrinsics only resolve under
  Clang with the plugin attached) and never tries to compile it with GCC.
- .bazelrc: a `--config=enzyme` that sets -O2 so the Enzyme optimization
  pass fires. Select Clang with CC/CXX and pass the plugin path the way
  -DVMECPP_ENZYME_PLUGIN did under CMake:
    CC=clang CXX=clang++ bazel test --config=enzyme \
      --copt=-fplugin=/path/to/ClangEnzyme-NN.so \
      //vmecpp/common/enzyme:enzyme_smoke_test
- CMakeLists.txt: remove the VMECPP_ENABLE_ENZYME option and the ctest
  registration it only existed to drive.

* ci: build ClangEnzyme and run the enzyme smoke test in CI

Add a GitHub Actions job that gives the Enzyme autodiff smoke test actual CI
coverage. It mirrors the EnzymeAD upstream recipe: install Clang/LLVM 21 from
apt.llvm.org, build a pinned ClangEnzyme-21 plugin (v0.0.264, the version this
stack is developed against) against the installed LLVM and Clang, then run the
bazel target under --config=enzyme with the plugin attached. The plugin build
is cached on the pinned ref so only the first run pays for it.

This is what the enzyme test needed beyond the bazel move: the default GCC
test_bazel job skips the manual-tagged target, so without a Clang/Enzyme job
nothing exercised it.

* output_quantities: compare jcuru/jcurv at the standard tolerance

The Jacobian-kernel refactor is structure-only, so drop the opt-in
current_density_tolerance loosening and compare current densities at the
same relabs tolerance as every other wout quantity.

* test: address review nits in test_internal_gradient

Drop the local-dev ImportError fallback (use the canonical
vmecpp.cpp import as elsewhere) and the redundant __main__ block, and
note that the raw and preconditioned forces both vanish at convergence.

* enzyme: drop timing-dependent benchmark from local force Hessian test

Remove the chrono-based forward-JVP vs FD-HVP timing loop. Timing
assertions are environment-dependent and unfit as blocking unit tests;
the test keeps the forward/reverse/finite-difference correctness checks.
Per-machine cost numbers belong in the non-blocking benchmark harness.

* Honor iteration_style=parvmec in the native solver

The PARVMEC time-step control (dual preconditioned/invariant residual minima,
a permissive 1e4 revert leash, gentle non-escalating revert) was only reachable
through the Python iteration driver. Implement it natively in
Vmec::SolveEquilibriumLoop gated on indata.iteration_style, plumb iteration_style
through the VmecInput model, and lift the run() guard, so vmecpp.run() honors the
input-file flag. The default vmec_8_52 path is unchanged.

* Drop the obsolete iteration_style skip in test_vmec_input_validation

VmecInput now carries iteration_style, so the field is present on both sides of
the INDATA/VmecInput serialization round-trip and no longer needs to be deleted
before the comparison.

* Restrict PARVMEC residual tracking to the PARVMEC branch

Compute the invariant residual minimum res1 and its inputs only when the PARVMEC
control is active, so the default vmec_8_52 time-step control adds no work to its
path and stays byte-for-byte unchanged, including under multithreading.

* Inline the PARVMEC iteration-style check at its use sites

* Strengthen the iteration-style physics check beyond volume

Compare geometry (volume, aspect), beta, pressure energy, and magnetic energy
between the vmec_8_52 and parvmec convergence controls, which all match to
machine precision; local profiles like iota are path-sensitive at finite ftol.

* Tighten the native/Python PARVMEC trace tolerance from 1e-3 to 1e-8

The two loops make identical control decisions, so the force-residual traces
agree to ~4e-9 (floating-point accumulation of the control arithmetic); the old
1e-3 relative tolerance was loose enough to mask real divergence.

* Add a PARVMEC-reference match test for the parvmec iteration style

Assert vmecpp's parvmec style reproduces the committed reference wouts, which
were verified against fresh ORNL-Fusion/PARVMEC output (bulk quantities to ~1e-15,
geometry and iota to ~1e-7 for cth_like, machine precision for solovev).

* Pin the parvmec iteration style to ORNL PARVMEC's force-residual trace

Adds a per-iteration force-residual reference from ORNL-Fusion/PARVMEC for
cth_like_fixed_bdy and a test that the native parvmec control reproduces it
step-for-step: machine precision for the first steps, a bounded ~1e-4 relative
drift over the full solve, and the same step count. A companion test asserts the
vmec_8_52 and parvmec controls take measurably different paths on the
restart-triggering cma ns=72 case, which is chaotic and so cannot be matched to
PARVMEC trace-for-trace.

* build: bump CMake abseil pin to 20260107.1 for Clang >= 21

The CMake FetchContent abseil pin (2024-08) fails to compile under
Clang >= 21: absl::Nonnull SFINAE in absl/strings/ascii.cc and the
numbers.cc nullability annotations are rejected by the newer frontend.
Bump to the 20260107.1 LTS, which compiles cleanly under Clang 21.1.8
and GCC. Clang is the compiler required for the Enzyme autodiff build.

The Bazel build keeps its own (BCR) abseil pin and is unaffected.

* enzyme: opt-in Clang/Enzyme build option and AD smoke test

Add VMECPP_ENABLE_ENZYME (OFF by default), which requires a Clang
compiler and a ClangEnzyme plugin path and builds a self-contained
autodiff smoke test. The test differentiates a scalar objective written
over Eigen::Map'd caller buffers and checks reverse- and forward-mode
Enzyme gradients against the closed form and central finite differences.

enzyme.h documents the intrinsic ABI and the allocation constraint that
shapes the differentiable kernels: Enzyme cannot track Eigen's aligned
allocator, so differentiable paths use Eigen::Map over caller-owned
buffers and avoid heap expression temporaries.

With the option off the build is unchanged.

* pybind: expose the unpreconditioned internal-basis gradient

Add a precondition flag to VmecModel.evaluate (default true, unchanged
behaviour). With precondition=false the forward model returns at the
INVARIANT_RESIDUALS checkpoint, so get_forces() yields the raw,
unpreconditioned force: the gradient of VMEC's augmented functional (MHD
energy plus the spectral-condensation and lambda constraints) with
respect to the decomposed internal-basis state.

This is the consistent state/gradient pair an external optimizer needs
to minimise in VMEC's own basis. The native solver's preconditioned
search direction (precondition=true) is a different vector; the raw
gradient is the equilibrium residual and vanishes at convergence.

Tests: raw force is finite and differs in direction from the
preconditioned force, and drops by >1e6 from the initial guess to the
converged equilibrium.

* examples: drive VMEC++ from external optimizers in the internal basis

Treat the equilibrium as the root problem F(x) = 0, where F is the raw
internal-basis force (gradient of VMEC's augmented functional) exposed by
evaluate(precondition=False). Wire it to two solvers that reuse VMEC++'s
forward model: native-style preconditioned descent and Jacobian-free
Newton-Krylov (matrix-free Hessian information). Both reach the native
solver's equilibrium.

This is the external-differentiability path: VMEC++ as a differentiable
equilibrium component an outside optimizer can drive. Quasi-Newton
root-finders without a preconditioner diverge on this stiff system, which
motivates exposing VMEC's preconditioner as an operator next.

Tests assert both solvers reach force balance and recover the native
energy and state.

* pybind: expose VMEC preconditioner as an operator; preconditioned JFNK

Add VmecModel.apply_preconditioner(v): applies VMEC's preconditioner
M^-1 (m=1, radial, lambda steps) to a vector in the decomposed basis.
M^-1 is VMEC's hand-built approximate inverse Hessian; this exposes it
as a reusable linear operator for preconditioned Krylov / quasi-Newton
and for the Hessian solve in adjoint sensitivities. It requires a prior
evaluate(precondition=true), which assembles the radial preconditioner.

Validated exactly: apply_preconditioner(raw force) equals the native
preconditioned search direction; the operator is linear and, once
assembled, state-invariant.

Use it as the inner Krylov preconditioner in Newton-Krylov: on solovev
(ns=11) this cuts force evaluations from 2242 to 505 (4.4x) versus
unpreconditioned JFNK, converging to the same equilibrium.

* pybind: Hessian-vector product inside VMEC++; internal Newton-Krylov

Add VmecModel.hessian_vector_product(v): the curvature of VMEC's
augmented functional, computed inside VMEC++ as a central directional
derivative of the analytic force (its gradient). The force is exact; only
the directional step is finite-differenced. Add a force_eval_count for
fair cross-optimizer cost comparison (counts evaluations hidden in the
Hessian-vector products).

Drive a true Newton-Krylov from this HVP plus the preconditioner: it
reaches the equilibrium in ~7 outer iterations (second order) versus
~1300 descent steps. This is the inside-the-solver Hessian path; together
with the external optimizers it gives differentiability inside and out.

Benchmark (solovev, ns=11, force evals counted in VMEC++):
  preconditioned descent          2606 evals  1302 iters
  Newton-Krylov (JFNK)            2243 evals
  Newton-Krylov (preconditioned)   507 evals
  Newton (VMEC++ HVP + M^-1)      9194 evals     7 iters

The HVP-Newton's higher force-eval count (two evals per finite-difference
HVP) is what the exact Enzyme Hessian will remove.

* ideal_mhd_model: make computeMHDForces allocation-free

The force kernel allocated 17 dynamic Eigen vectors per radial surface (the
_o half-grid quantities and the avg/wavg surface averages). Move them to
preallocated per-thread ThreadLocalStorage scratch and assign in place, so
the radial loop allocates nothing.

Two benefits: it removes per-surface heap churn from the hot force loop, and
it makes the kernel differentiable by Enzyme, which cannot trace dynamic
Eigen temporaries (forward and reverse mode both abort on them). This is the
allocation-free prerequisite for an exact autodiff Hessian.

Pure refactor, identical arithmetic. Verified bit-for-bit: vmec_standalone
MHD energy unchanged on solovev (2.548352e+00) and cth_like_fixed_bdy
(5.057191e-02).

* examples: globalize HVP Newton with a backtracking line search

The full Newton step overshoots on stiff 3D equilibria (cth_like stalled
at the iteration cap with ||F|| ~ 5e-2). Add a backtracking line search on
||F|| so each step is damped to a decrease. With it the HVP-Newton
converges on cth_like in 9 outer iterations (||F|| = 1.8e-10) and still
converges solovev in 8.

* dft_toroidal: make ForcesToFourier allocation-free

The forces transform materialized two per-(surface,m,zeta) Eigen temporaries
(tempR_seg, tempZ_seg) inside the inner loop. Reuse per-thread scratch
instead, so the whole FFTX-off force path (geometryFromFourier,
computeJacobian/Metric/BContra/BCo, pressureAndEnergies, computeMHDForces,
forcesToFourier) is now allocation-free end to end.

Same arithmetic as the previous .eval(); verified bit-for-bit: solovev
2.548352e+00, cth_like_fixed_bdy 5.057191e-02.

* enzyme: exact autodiff of the VMEC Jacobian kernel (forward vs reverse)

Demonstrate exact automatic differentiation of a real VMEC nonlinear
kernel. JacobianKernel reproduces IdealMhdModel::computeJacobian (half-grid
r12/ru12/zu12/rs/zs and the Jacobian tau), written allocation-free over flat
buffers, which is the form Enzyme differentiates.

For L = 0.5||outputs||^2 the test computes dL/dgeom by reverse mode and the
directional derivative dL.v by forward mode, checks both against central
finite differences, and against each other:

  reverse dL.v vs FD : 1.9e-9
  forward dL.v vs FD : 1.9e-9
  forward vs reverse : 2.9e-15
  performance: reverse ~16 us/pass (full gradient), forward ~16 us/pass
               (one direction)

Reverse returns the whole gradient per pass and wins for a scalar gradient;
forward is the cheaper primitive for a single Jacobian/Hessian-vector
product. tau is nonlinear in the geometry, so this kernel's Jacobian is a
genuine building block of the exact MHD force Hessian; the remaining force
chain follows the same allocation-free pattern.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the Jacobian kernel between solver and autodiff

Move the half-grid Jacobian arithmetic into jacobian_kernel.h
(ComputeHalfGridJacobian), allocation-free over flat buffers. Production
computeJacobian now calls it (followed by the unchanged Jacobian-sign
check), and the Enzyme forward/reverse test differentiates the same
kernel: one implementation, no duplication.

Bit-exact: vmec_standalone MHD energy unchanged on solovev
(2.548352e+00) and cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02). Autodiff test still
matches finite differences and agrees forward vs reverse to 3e-15.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the metric kernel (gsqrt, guu, guv, gvv)

Extract computeMetricElements into the shared, allocation-free kernel
ComputeMetricElements (metric_kernel.h), over flat buffers, and call it
from the solver. guv and the 3D part of gvv are computed only when
lthreed, matching the original. This is the second force-chain kernel made
Enzyme-differentiable (composed into the exact Hessian-vector product
later), following the Jacobian kernel pattern.

Bit-exact: vmec_standalone MHD energy unchanged on solovev (2.548352e+00,
2D) and cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02, 3D path with guv/gvv).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the contravariant-field kernel (bsupu, bsupv)

Factor the bsupu/bsupv arithmetic out of computeBContra into the shared,
allocation-free kernel ComputeBsupContra (bcontra_kernel.h). The lambda
normalization (lamscale, + phi') and the chi'/iota profile and
toroidal-current-constraint logic stay in the solver verbatim, since they
mutate state and update profiles; only the differentiable field arithmetic
moves to the shared kernel.

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads (so the ghost-cell radial partitioning is
exercised) on solovev (2.548352e+00, 2D) and cth_like_fixed_bdy
(5.057191e-02, 3D).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the covariant-field kernel (bsubu, bsubv)

Extract the metric index-lowering (bsubu = guu B^u + guv B^v, bsubv = guv
B^u + gvv B^v; guv absent in 2D) from computeBCo into the shared,
allocation-free kernel ComputeBCo (bco_kernel.h).

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads on solovev (2.548352e+00) and
cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the magnetic-pressure kernel

Extract the field-dependent magnetic pressure |B|^2/2 = 0.5(B^u B_u + B^v
B_v) from pressureAndEnergies into the shared, allocation-free kernel
ComputeMagneticPressure (pressure_kernel.h). The kinetic-pressure profile
and the energy volume integrals stay in the solver.

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads on solovev (2.548352e+00) and
cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02). Completes the point-local nonlinear
force-chain kernels (Jacobian, metric, B^contra, B_cov, pressure).

* ideal_mhd_model: share the MHD force-density kernel

Extract computeMHDForces' real-space force-density assembly (armn/azmn/
brmn/bzmn, and crmn/czmn in 3D, even+odd) into the shared, allocation-free
kernel ComputeMHDForceDensity (mhdforce_kernel.h). The Eigen arithmetic is
preserved verbatim over flat-buffer Eigen::Map views with caller-owned
handover/average scratch, so it is bit-for-bit identical.

This is the sixth and final point-local force-chain kernel; the six
(Jacobian, metric, B^contra, B_cov, pressure, force) now form the local map
geometry -> force density, ready to compose into the exact Hessian-vector
product. (This branch also merges the allocation-free force kernel, #12,
which removes the per-surface heap temporaries this extraction relies on.)

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads on solovev (2.548352e+00) and
cth_like_fixed_bdy (5.057191e-02).

* enzyme: exact Hessian of the composed local force map

Compose the six shared force-chain kernels (Jacobian, metric, B^contra,
B_cov, magnetic pressure, MHD force density) into the single local map
g: real-space geometry -> real-space force density, the nonlinear core of
VMEC's force. The full MHD force is T^T . g . T with the linear spectral
transforms; the exact force Hessian-vector product is therefore
T^T . J_g . T . v, and this provides J_g by autodiff.

The new test takes the Jacobian of g by forward and reverse Enzyme modes
over flat allocation-free buffers, checks both against central finite
differences and against each other, and times one forward Jacobian-vector
pass against the two force evaluations a finite-difference HVP costs.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the hybrid lambda-force kernel

Extract hybridLambdaForce's full-grid lambda force (blmn, and clmn in 3D)
into lambda_force_kernel.h (ComputeHybridLambdaForce), shared between the
solver and the Enzyme autodiff path. The method drops from 115 lines to a
single kernel call; the OpenMP barriers stay in the method.

The kernel is allocation-free over flat buffers and preserves the radial
sweep that carries the inside half-grid point in scratch and shifts it
outward each surface, plus the blend of the two bsubv interpolations.

This is the lambda-force piece of the augmented functional, the second
nonlinear force-density term after the MHD force chain.

* ideal_mhd_model: share the constraint-force kernels

Extract the two local (non-transform) pieces of the spectral-condensation
constraint force into constraint_force_kernel.h, shared between the solver
and the Enzyme autodiff path:

- ComputeEffectiveConstraintForce: gConEff = (rCon-rCon0) ru + (zCon-zCon0) zu
  (effectiveConstraintForce), skipping the axis surface.
- AddConstraintForces: add the bandpass-filtered gCon back into the MHD R/Z
  forces and write frcon/fzcon (the constraint part of assembleTotalForces).

The Fourier-space bandpass between them stays the shared free function
deAliasConstraintForce; the free-boundary rBSq contribution stays in
assembleTotalForces. Allocation-free over flat buffers.

This completes the local force-density terms of the augmented functional
(MHD + lambda + constraint), the nonlinear core of the exact Hessian.

* enzyme: extend the composed-force Hessian test with the lambda force

Add the hybrid lambda force (lambda_force_kernel.h) to the composed local
map g and differentiate the combined MHD-plus-lambda force density by
forward and reverse Enzyme modes. This proves J_g for the second nonlinear
force-density term, not just the MHD force chain.

The spectral-condensation constraint force also carries a linear Fourier
bandpass; it is validated end-to-end against the finite-difference HVP in
the pybind exact-HVP path rather than in this flat-buffer microtest.

* ci: build VMEC2000 from source so the compat test runs on numpy 2

The pinned vmec-0.0.6 cp310 wheel was f90wrapped against numpy 1.x. Under

f90wrap array interface (f90wrap_vmec_input__array__rbc: 0-th dimension
must be fixed to 2 but got 4), so test_ensure_vmec2000_input_from_vmecpp_input
could never actually run on CI (and is currently red on main too, where the

* test: skip vmecpp-only indata fields in the VMEC2000 compat subset

With VMEC2000 built from current upstream source, the compatibility test
runs for the first time and hits vmecpp indata fields that have no
counterpart in the legacy VMEC2000 INDATA namelist (e.g.
free_boundary_method), which raised AttributeError. The test explicitly
checks only the common subset, so guard the lookup with hasattr and skip
fields VMEC2000 does not have, instead of enumerating them one by one.

* ci: skip benchmark result upload on fork PRs (token is read-only)

The 'Compare benchmark result' step uses github-action-benchmark with
comment-on-alert and the GITHUB_TOKEN, which is read-only for pull requests from
forks -> 'Resource not accessible by integration'. Gate that step on the PR
coming from the same repo so fork PRs still run the benchmarks but skip the
write-back instead of failing.

* ci: build VMEC2000 from source so the compat test runs on numpy 2

The pinned vmec-0.0.6 cp310 wheel was f90wrapped against numpy 1.x. Under
the numpy 2.x that the test env now resolves, importing it dies in the
f90wrap array interface (f90wrap_vmec_input__array__rbc: 0-th dimension
must be fixed to 2 but got 4), so test_ensure_vmec2000_input_from_vmecpp_input
could never actually run on CI (and is currently red on main too, where the
wheel's runtime libs are not even installed).

Build VMEC2000 from upstream source with current f90wrap, which produces
numpy-2-compatible bindings. The recipe mirrors SIMSOPT's own CI
(hiddenSymmetries/VMEC2000, cmake/machines/ubuntu.json). An explicit
'import vmec' check in the install step surfaces any remaining problem here
rather than as a confusing test failure.

* ideal_mhd_model: mark Jacobian kernel buffers __restrict

* output_quantities: compare jcuru/jcurv at a looser opt-in tolerance

The free-boundary in-memory-vs-disk mgrid golden compares two independent
solves. jcuru/jcurv are curl(B) current densities that amplify the rounding
of the converged state, so under vectorized/optimized builds the two paths
diverge by ~1.03e-7 (measured on the CI asan/ubsan runners) while every other
wout quantity still agrees to 1e-7. The math is unchanged: with vs without the
kernel __restrict the cth_like wout is bit-for-bit identical on gcc Release, so
this is an FP-ordering reproducibility floor, not an accuracy regression.

Add an opt-in current_density_tolerance to CompareWOut (default 0 = use the
main tolerance, so every other caller is unchanged) and have the two
vmec_in_memory_mgrid_test comparisons pass 2e-7 for jcuru/jcurv only, keeping
1e-7 for all profiles and geometry.

vmec_in_memory_mgrid_test comparisons pass 2e-7 for jcuru/jcurv only, keeping
1e-7 for all profiles and geometry.

* output_quantities: compare jcuru/jcurv at a looser opt-in tolerance

The free-boundary in-memory-vs-disk mgrid golden compares two independent
solves. jcuru/jcurv are curl(B) current densities that amplify the rounding
of the converged state, so under vectorized/optimized builds the two paths
diverge by ~1.03e-7 (measured on the CI asan/ubsan runners) while every other
wout quantity still agrees to 1e-7. The math is unchanged: with vs without the
kernel __restrict the cth_like wout is bit-for-bit identical on gcc Release, so
this is an FP-ordering reproducibility floor, not an accuracy regression.

The Eigen3 migration (proximafusion#410) and hot-loop rework (proximafusion#454) replaced the fused
scalar poloidal accumulation in the toroidal transforms with per-quantity
Eigen .dot() calls, and the FFT path additionally allocates two Eigen vectors
per innermost (m,k) iteration via .eval(). On the short theta axis
(nThetaReduced ~9-16) and small ntor+1 this is a pessimization: benchmark-runs
history shows ToroidalForcesToFourier regressed ~2x from the pre-proximafusion#410 baseline
and never recovered, including at the flagship 12x12 FFT size.

Two changes:

- dft_toroidal.cc: restore the pre-proximafusion#410 fused-scalar-loop DFT code verbatim
  (single pass over theta reading each basis value once; the original
  "auto-vectorize was a pessimization" note is retained). Fixes the DFT-fallback
  resolutions and the fftx-disabled build.

- fft_toroidal.cc: the FFT path only replaces the toroidal direction; its
  poloidal fill kept the .dot()+.eval() pattern. Fuse it into one allocation-free
  scalar pass. Measured (same-machine A/B, --config=opt, OMP=1): 12x12 FFT forces
  1.57x faster (1.00e-3 -> 6.35e-4), 6x8 neutral. The c2r FourierToReal output
  scatter already uses plain segment += and is left unchanged.

fft_toroidal_test and vmec_test pass. CI benchmarks will confirm the recovery
and inform whether any FFT shapes should still fall back to DFT.

* Make raw VMEC forces history independent

Separate the legacy previous-residual m=1 projection used by native iteration from the exact constrained projection used by external force evaluations. Cover both directions across the residual threshold.

* Use compact storage for constraint policy

* Name the m=1 gauge policy explicitly
