-# MFEM Pull Request Review Agent Guide
-
-## Purpose and scope
-Review MFEM PRs for correctness, maintainability, performance, portability, test coverage, and MFEM consistency. Use the diff and PR context; reference source files, tests, and CI results when available. Follow `CONTRIBUTING.md`, especially Developer Guidelines, PR rules, checklist, and testing.
-
-## Critical review pillars
- Correctness and numerical behavior
- API and user-facing impact
- Performance implications
- Maintainability and portability
-
-## Review workflow
-1. Read the PR description, linked issues, and intended behavior.
-2. Inspect the diff before commenting.
-3. Identify affected MFEM components, examples, tests, build or docs changes, and downstream APIs.
-4. Analyze the code against the critical review pillars.
-5. Compare the change against nearby code and MFEM patterns; flag unmotivated deviations.
-6. Check whether tests and documentation were updated appropriately.
-7. Review CI results and suggest actions.
-8. Produce a structured review with prioritized findings.
-9. Always limit conclusions to available evidence.
-
-## MFEM-specific review checklist
- Component-aware scope: identify the touched subsystem (FEM, solvers, preconditioners, linear algebra, mesh, examples, miniapps, build, or docs) and assess its impact against the review pillars.
- Numerical and algorithmic behavior: assess issues in convergence, stability, tolerances, precision, iteration limits, and failure handling. If clear opportunities exist to improve the algorithmic approach, call them out with expected impact.
- API and user-facing impact: assess backward compatibility, user-visible behavior and default changes, migration impact, deprecations, and whether documentation clearly explains user-facing API changes.
- Data structure and memory semantics: assess ownership, lifetime, aliasing, container behavior, and device-host synchronization.
- Parallel and serial behavior: assess whether the change preserves equivalent semantics in serial and parallel modes where applicable; if logic is currently mode-specific, check whether extension to the other mode is straightforward (clear abstractions, no hard-wired assumptions), document constraints, and call out expected behavior differences explicitly.
- Backend and portability impact: assess likely cross-backend risks in CPU, CUDA, HIP, OCCA, RAJA, partial assembly, fallback paths, compiler compatibility, and platform assumptions.
- Build, dependency, and configuration impact: assess CMake or make changes, optional dependency behavior, and feature-flag interactions.
- Tests and docs alignment: check available regression or unit coverage evidence for changed behavior, and ensure docs are updated for new flags, APIs, options, or behavior changes.
- MFEM developer-guideline fit: keep code lean, simple, general, logically separated, and portable; suggest C++17 improvements when they clearly improve safety, clarity, or maintainability.
- New source files, examples, or miniapps: if a PR adds source/header files, verify they are properly wired into the relevant `makefile` and `CMakeLists.txt`, referenced in docs where applicable (including `doc/CodeDocumentation.dox`), and added to top-level `.gitignore` only when generated artifacts require it.
- Changelog: verify `CHANGELOG` is updated if the PR introduces significant new features or user-facing changes.
- MFEM conventions: use `real_t`; use `mfem::out`/`mfem::err` instead of `std::cout`/`std::cerr` in library code; flag large/binary files; if AI assistance is apparent but undisclosed, suggest following `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
- Edge cases: if the PR touches complex or error-prone areas, suggest additional tests for edge cases, failure modes, and parallel behavior.
-
-## Commenting guidelines
- Keep comments concise, actionable, and grounded in the diff.
- Focus on correctness, behavior changes, and user impact over style nits.
- Be professional, concise, collaborative, technically precise, and avoid unsupported assumptions.
-

-# DESCRIPTION:
-###############################################################################
 # General GitLab pipelines configurations for supercomputers and Linux clusters
-# at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
-# This entire pipeline is LLNL-specific
-#
-# Important note: This file is a template provided by llnl/radiuss-shared-ci.
-# Remains to set variable values, change the reference to the radiuss-shared-ci
-# repo, opt-in and out optional features. The project can then extend it with
-# additional stages.
-#
-# In addition, each project should copy over and complete:
-# - .gitlab/custom-jobs-and-variables.yml
-# - .gitlab/subscribed-pipelines.yml
-#
-# The jobs should be specified in a file local to the project,
-# - .gitlab/jobs/${CI_MACHINE}.yml
-# or generated (see LLNL/Umpire for an example).

-Version 4.9.1 (development)
+Version 4.8.1 (development)
 ===========================

- Added policy for AI-assisted contribution to CONTRIBUTING.md.
-
-Discretization improvements
---------------------------
- Added GPU-enabled partial assembly for simplicial Bernstein H1 basis based on
-  ragged tensor algorithms (see DOI: 10.1137/11082539X) for mass and diffusion
-  integrators.
-
- Replaced legacy simplex quadrature rules with symmetric positive weight rules
-  for triangles (orders 0-25) and tetrahedra (orders 0-20). These rules
-  guarantee all-positive weights and interior quadrature points, improving
-  numerical stability. Higher orders fall back to Grundmann-Moller.
-  * Triangle rules: Witherden and Vincent, DOI: 10.1016/j.camwa.2015.03.017
-  * Tet rules (d=1-13): Witherden and  Vincent (same as above)
-  * Tet rules (d=14-20): Chuluunbaatar et al., DOI: 10.1016/j.camwa.2022.08.016
-
- Added support for general 1D Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rules and Stroud conical
-  quadrature rules on triangles and tetrahedra.
-
- Improved the GridFunction projection routines. Projections work for Scalar,
-  Vector and VectorFE, also NURBS versions. Optionally different types of
-  projections can be selected, default behavior has not changed.
-
- Added GridFunction projection methods for trace spaces, i.e., project
-  coefficients on the mesh skeleton.
-
- Added methods to estimate function extremum using piecewise linear bounds plus
-  recursive subdivision.
-
- Extend FindPointsGSLIB to support surface meshes.
-
-Meshing improvements
--------------------
- Added option to guarantee mesh validity during TMOP-based r-adaptivity, using
-  bounds on the determinant of the mesh transformation Jacobian.
-
- Added PA support for TMOP's adaptive limiting functionality. Multiple
-  GridFunctions and Coefficients can be combined to form a composite term.
-
- Improved support for 1D NURBS meshes with variable order, including using
-  the patches construct for 1D NURBS meshes.
-
- Added the option to include material interfaces (faces separating elements
-  with different element attributes) as additional boundary elements, for
-  parallel visualization, e.g. with GLVis. This is supported by both the Print
-  and PrintAsOne methods of ParMesh. See ParMesh::SetPrintInterfaces().
-
-Linear and nonlinear solvers
----------------------------
- Added support for trace spaces in PRefinementTransferOperator. This is used in
-  PRefinement multigrid methods for problems posed on trace spaces (see e.g. the
-  DPG miniapps).
-
-GPU computing
-------------
- Added device assembly support for 3D H(curl) VectorFEDomainLFIntegrator.
-
- Added NVIDIA cuDSS library interface. Implementation examples have been
-  added to ex1 and ex1p. See https://developer.nvidia.com/cudss for more
-  details. Supported versions >= 0.6.0.
-
- Allow specifying GPU kernel launch bounds for native and RAJA GPU backends.
- Added support for FiniteElement::MapType::INTEGRAL spaces to
-  QuadratureInterpolator.
-
-New and updated examples and miniapps
-------------------------------------
- The Lorentz miniapp (in miniapps/electromagnetics) has been updated to
-  leverage the ParticleSet capability.
-
- Added (Complex)PRefinementMultigrid solver option in the DPG miniapps.
-
-Miscellaneous
-------------
- Fixed signed DOF handling in ParGridFunction reading (read constructor) and
-  saving via SaveAsOne(). Simplified the process of applying the DOF signs by
-  using the new method ApplyDofSigns() in class ParFiniteElementSpace: the
-  method will return immediately if no sign flips are needed.

+  miniapp in the miniapps/dfem/ directory for illustration of dFEM's use.

- Introduced initial support for particle methods in MFEM with new classes
-  Particle, ParticleSet and ParticleVector.
-  * Particle is a convenient interface for individual particle data.
-  * ParticleSet manages and stores particle data in a struct-of-arrays form,
-    carrying particle coordinates and IDs along with an arbitrary number of
-    Vector and integer data for each particle.
-  * ParticleVector is a Vector-derived container that stores vector data for an
-    arbitrary number of particles contiguously based on specified vdim/ordering.
-  See the new particle miniapps in miniapps/gslib/ and miniapps/fluids/navier/.
-
- Added a new miniapp and specialized AMG solver (AMGF) for optimization-based
-  contact mechanics. The miniapp solves large-scale frictionless contact using a
-  self-contained Interior Point (IP) solver, mortar-based contact constraints
-  provided by Tribol. The resulting linear systems are solved with the new AMGF
-  solver (see below). Benchmark examples include the two-block, ironing, and
-  beam-sphere problems. See the miniapps/contact/ directory.
-
- Added support for boundary integration to the hyperbolic framework. Two new
-  classes BdrHyperbolicDirichletIntegrator and BoundaryHyperbolicFlowIntegrator
-  have been introduced for implementation of weak Dirichlet boundary conditions
-  with a general flux or for the linear case respectively.
-
- Added a method to compute piecewise linear bounds on high-order functions on
-  tensor-product elements.
-
- Added support for interior face integration enabling DG methods in
-  ParMixedBilinearForm, ParNonlinearForm and ParBlockNonlinearForm.
+- Using Enzyme for AD in MFEM is tested with clang v19 and requires clang/LLVM
+  built with plugin support. See INSTALL for more details.

 - In the ParMoonolith integration, added support for variational resampling of
  H1 vector fields.

- Introduced IMEX ODE solvers based on a split-operator framework. Added
-  examples ex41 and ex41p demonstrating IMEX DG/CG discretizations of the
-  convection–diffusion equation, with ex41p using DG LOR preconditioning.
+- Added support for boundary integration to the hyperbolic framework. In this
+  regard, new classes `BdrHyperbolicDirichletIntegrator` and
+  `BoundaryHyperbolicFlowIntegrator` have been introduced for implementation
+  of weak Dirichlet boundary conditions with a general flux or for the linear
+  case respectively.
+
+- Added method to compute piecewise linear bounds on high-order functions on
+  tensor-product elements.
+
+- Parallel anisotropic refinement of hexahedral meshes is now supported,
+  provided that neighboring hexahedra are not refined in conflicting directions.
+  A new ParMesh method is added to check for such conflicts, before refinement.

 Meshing improvements
 --------------------
- The TMOP kernel hierarchy has been restructured to reduce compilation time.
-  Most large kernels have been split into smaller specific kernels for each
-  metric. The directory structure has been updated with assemble, metrics, mult
-  and tools subdirectories. New kernel dispatch and specialization system has
-  also been integrated. Unit tests have been revised to ensure --all tests pass.

 - Introduced NC-patch NURBS meshes, which are conforming element-wise but allow
  for nonconforming patch topology. This new mesh format supports element
  spacing formulas for refinement, as well as local refinement factors for a
  subset of knot vectors.

+- Added support for higher order meshes in Mesh::MakeSimplicial and
+  ParMesh::MakeSimplicial.
+
 - Added a new miniapp for interpolating a surface grid of points in 3D using a
  smooth NURBS surface, that can then be sampled at arbitrary resolution while
  staying close to the original geometry. See miniapps/nurbs/nurbs_surface.

- Parallel anisotropic refinement of hexahedral meshes is now supported,
-  provided that neighboring hexahedra are not refined in conflicting directions.
-  A new ParMesh method is added to check for such conflicts, before refinement.
-
- Added support for higher order meshes in (Par)Mesh::MakeSimplicial.
-
-Linear and nonlinear solvers
----------------------------
- Added FilteredSolver: a base class for solvers with filtering. It handles
-  cases where a solver performs well except in small subspaces, by adding a
-  filtering step formulated as a subspace correction.
-
- Added AMGFSolver: a derived class of FilteredSolver, specialized for AMG with
-  Filtering (AMGF), providing robust preconditioning for linear systems arising
-  in constrained optimization problems such as frictionless contact.
-
-  Added 'GetResiduals' and 'GetFinalAbsResidualNorm' to 'HyprePCG',
-  'HypreGMRES', and 'HypreFGMRES' to get 'r' and '|r|_p'. Note that the latter
-  computes '|r|_p' from 'r' instead of returning a cached value like the
-  relative 'GetFinalResidualNorm'. These require Hypre >= 2.15.0.
-
-  Changed the default solver parameters for 'HyprePCG' to 'tol=1e-6' and
-  'max_iter=1000'. This matches the default parameters in Hypre 3.0.
-
-  Added various helper functions for querying/modifying Hypre solvers:
-  'HypreSmoother::GetType', 'HypreSmoother::GetSOROptions',
-  'HypreSmoother::GetPolyOptions', 'HypreSmoother::GetWindowParameters',
-  'HypreSmoother::IsOperatorSymmetric', 'HyprePCG::GetTol',
-  'HyprePCG::GetAbsTol', 'HyprePCG::GetMaxIter', 'HyprePCG::SetUseTwoNorm',
-  'HypreGMRES::GetTol', 'HypreGMRES::GetAbsTol', 'HypreGMRES::GetMaxIter',
-  'HypreGMRES::GetKDim', 'HypreFGMRES::GetTol', 'HypreFGMRES::GetMaxIter',
-  'HypreFGMRES::GetKDim', and 'HypreBoomerAMG::GetMaxIter'.
-
 GPU computing
 -------------
- Added the 'gpu', 'raja-gpu', and 'ceed-gpu' backend aliases/shortcuts which
-  automatically select between CUDA or HIP.
-
- Added the option to enable GPU-aware MPI in MFEM using the environment
-  variable 'MFEM_GPU_AWARE_MPI' set to any value. Setting this environment
-  variable is an alternative to calling 'Device::SetGPUAwareMPI(true)'.
-
- Implemented a GPU-accelerated matrix-free AMR derefinement GridFunction update
-  operator. This supports mixed geometry meshes and variable order spaces, and
-  is the default derefinement operator constructed by FiniteElementSpace::Update
-  and ParFiniteElementSpace::Update. The operator requires the finite element
-  space to be nonconforming.
+- The function Vector::SetSubVector(const Array<int> &, const real_t) now
+  executes on device if either the vector or the array have the device flag
+  set. This is most often used for setting constant essential boundary
+  conditions. A new function Vector::SetSubVectorHost has been added in cases
+  where host execution is always needed (e.g. when the DOFs array is small).

 - Introduced MFEM_FOREACH_THREAD_DIRECT, which directly maps loop tasks to GPU
  threads, assigning one task per thread.

- The function Vector::SetSubVector(const Array<int> &, const real_t) now
-  executes on device if either the vector or the array have the device flag
-  set. This is most often used for setting constant essential BCs. A new method,
-  SetSubVectorHost, has been added for cases where host execution is always
-  needed (e.g. when the DOFs array is small).
-
- Added GPU support in GradientGridFunction and InnerProduct Coefficient classes
-  by implementing their Project methods.
-
+- Implemented a GPU-accelerated matrix-free AMR derefinement `GridFunction`
+  update operator. This supports mixed geometry meshes and variable order
+  spaces, and is the default derefinement operator constructed by
+  `FiniteElementSpace::Update` and `ParFiniteElementSpace::Update`.
+  The operator requires `FiniteElementSpace::Nonconforming() == true`.
 - Added new method: GridFunction::GetGradients, with GPU support, for computing
  the gradients of a GridFunction on all elements.
-
- The CUDA-specific names used by some of the unit tests like 'cunit_tests' and
-  'pcunit_tests' were replaced by names using 'gpu' instead of 'c' (short for
-  CUDA) or 'cuda'. These tests automatically run the CUDA/HIP tests based on the
-  MFEM build configuration.
+- Added GPU support in GradientGridFunctionCoefficient and
+  InnerProductCoefficient by implementing their Project methods.

 New and updated examples and miniapps
 -------------------------------------
- Added the miniapps/fluids directory and moved the previous Navier and the new
-  incompressible Schrödinger flow miniapps into it.
-
- Introduced the new Incompressible Schrödinger Flow (ISF) miniapp, which models
-  inviscid fluid dynamics by solving the linear Schrödinger equation, leveraging
-  the hydrodynamical analogy to quantum mechanics.
-
- New particle-related miniapps:
-  * New transient Navier-Stokes fluid-particles solver NavierParticles in
-    miniapps/fluids/navier/navier_particles, for modeling tracer particles in
-    fluid flow, demonstrating use of the new ParticleSet class.
-  * New Navier miniapp, miniapps/fluids/navier/navier_bifurcation, showing the
-    use of NavierParticles in a 2D bifurcating channel flow.
-  * New FindPointsGSLIB miniapp, miniapps/gslib/particles_redist, showing
-    parallel-redistribution of particle data between MPI ranks.
-  * Particle visualization features in common/particles_extras for viewing
-    particle locations and trajectories (ParticleTrajectories) using GLVis.
+- Added miniapps to demonstrate an implementation of the absolute-value
+  L(1)-Jacobi preconditioners in partially assembled operators. This includes
+  Multigrid wrapper to demonstrate the effectiveness of these Jacobi-type
+  operators as smoothers.
+  These miniapps can be found in `miniapps/diag-smoothers`.

-------------
- Introduced MFEM_FETCH_TPLS CMake option to enable downloading, configuring,
-  and building of TPLs alongside MFEM (currently supported TPLs are hypre,
-  METIS, and GSLIB).
-
- Added quadrature function support to the VisIt and Conduit data collections.
-
- Added access to the internal parallel matrix in Par(Mixed)BilinearForm and
-  related utility methods for elimination of BCs.
-
- FindPointsGSLIB has a new constructor that accepts the mesh object and
-  internally calls the Setup() method so users do not have to. The FreeData()
-  method has also been moved to the destructor so users do not need to manually
-  free-up the memory if the destructor is called before MPI_Finalize().
-
- Added parallel Address Sanitizer, serial and parallel Undefined Behavior

-// Description:  This example code demonstrates the use of MFEM to define a
-//               simple finite element discretization of the Laplace problem
-//               -Delta u = 1 with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.
-//               Specifically, we discretize using a FE space of the specified
-//               order, or if order < 1 using an isoparametric/isogeometric
-//               space (i.e. quadratic for quadratic curvilinear mesh, NURBS for
-//               NURBS mesh, etc.)
-//
-//               The example highlights the use of mesh refinement, finite
-//               element grid functions, as well as linear and bilinear forms
-//               corresponding to the left-hand side and right-hand side of the
-//               discrete linear system. We also cover the explicit elimination
-//               of essential boundary conditions, static condensation, and the
-//               optional connection to the GLVis tool for visualization.
