+## Releasing
+
+Releases follow a release-candidate PR onto `main`, then a tag. Conventions to know
+before starting:
+
+- **Version is single-sourced** in `ipax/__init__.py` (`__version__`); `pyproject.toml`
+  derives it via `[tool.hatch.version]`. Bump in **exactly that one place**.
+- **`CHANGELOG.md` follows Keep a Changelog** and is enforced by the `kacl-verify`
+  pre-commit/CI hook. Keep entries under `## [Unreleased]` as work lands.
+- **Tags are `vX.Y.Z`**; pushing a tag triggers `release.yml` (PyPI Trusted Publishing
+  + a GitHub release whose notes come from the tag annotation and the changelog).
+
+Steps:
+
+1. **Branch.** From an up-to-date `develop`, create `rc/vX.Y.Z`.
+2. **Open the PR.** Push the branch and open a PR with **base `main`, head `rc/vX.Y.Z`**.
+   **Do not bump the version yet** — review may change the contents.
+3. **Wait for CI + code review** (CI gates + Copilot/human review).
+4. **Address review.** Push fixes to `rc/vX.Y.Z`; repeat 3–4 until the PR is approved.
+   Avoid `git add -A` (it sweeps unrelated working-tree edits into the commit) — stage
+   the files you changed.
+5. **Release bump (only once approved).** Confirm `CHANGELOG.md` covers the release:
+   add `## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD` (move the `[Unreleased]` items into it) and update the
+   compare links at the bottom. Bump `ipax.__version__`. Run `python scripts/check.py`
+   and `pre-commit run kacl-verify --files CHANGELOG.md`. Push; let CI go green.
+6. **Merge** the PR into `main`.
+7. **Tag and sync.** Sync `main` (`git switch main && git pull --ff-only`), create the
+   annotated tag (`git tag -a vX.Y.Z main` with a short changelog-derived summary),
+   merge `main` back into `develop` (`--no-ff`), then push **both** `develop` and the
+   tag (`git push origin develop && git push origin vX.Y.Z`). The tag push runs
+   `release.yml` — confirm that workflow succeeds.

+"""S2MPJ problem loader (download-gated, NumPy-evaluated, backend-bridged).
+
+`S2MPJ <https://github.com/GrattonToint/S2MPJ>`_ translates the CUTEst SIF test
+collection (including the full Hock-Schittkowski set) into **pure Python** problem
+files — no Fortran, no SIF decoder, no compilation, cross-platform. Each problem
+exposes value/gradient/Jacobian/Hessian through a ``CUTEst_problem`` base class
+(``fgx``, ``cJx``, ``LHxyv`` …) using NumPy + SciPy.
+
+Because that evaluation is hardcoded to NumPy/SciPy, the problems cannot run
+*natively* under an arbitrary Array-API backend. :class:`_S2MPJProblem` instead
+**bridges**: it evaluates in NumPy and converts inputs/outputs to/from the target
+namespace, so ipax's solver runs its linear algebra on any (CPU) backend while the
+model is evaluated on the host. This is for accuracy / cross-backend consistency
+benchmarking; it forces a host sync per evaluation, so it is *not* for GPU
+performance work (use the synthetic RT generator / TROTS surrogate there).
+
+S2MPJ has no license file, so its files are **not vendored**. Point
+``IPAX_S2MPJ_DIR`` (or the ``directory`` argument) at a local checkout; the loader
+returns ``[]`` when it is absent, mirroring the other external corpora.
+
+S2MPJ stores each constraint as a two-sided range ``clower ≤ c(x) ≤ cupper`` with
+an equality when the two coincide. The adapter maps that onto ipax's eq/ineq
+split, lowering finite inequality sides to one-sided rows (``c − cupper ≤ 0`` and
+``clower − c ≤ 0``) exactly as the native ``linear_ineq`` lowering does.
+
+S2MPJ also exposes the **exact Lagrangian Hessian** (``LgHxy``/``LHxyv``, convention
+``L = f + yᵀc``), so the adapter can drive ipax's exact-Hessian route — not only the
+default L-BFGS. :class:`_S2MPJExactProblem` implements ``lagrangian_hessian`` by
+mapping ipax's ``(σ, y_eq, y_ineq)`` onto S2MPJ's single multiplier vector ``Y``
+(equality rows ``+y_eq``; lowered lower-side rows ``−y_ineq`` because their curvature
+is ``−∇²c``; lowered upper-side rows ``+y_ineq``) and honoring ``σ`` on the objective
+term (so it stays correct under gradient-based scaling, where ``σ ≠ 1``). With
+``sparse=True`` the Jacobians and the Hessian are returned as
+:class:`~ipax.backend.sparse.numpy_scipy.SparseOperator` (true COO sparsity, for the
+sparse-direct route) rather than densified arrays.
