1//! User-facing `TNLP` trait — port of `Interfaces/IpTNLP.{hpp,cpp}`.
2//!
3//! The Rust shape replaces upstream's two-call `(iRow,jCol,values)`
4//! convention with [`SparsityRequest`], a request enum carrying the
5//! caller-supplied buffers. This is more typesafe (no NULL pointers,
6//! buffer length is type-checked) and matches the eight-method API
7//! upstream documents.
8//!
9//! The `IpoptData` / `IpoptCalculatedQuantities` / `IteratesVector`
10//! parameters of `intermediate_callback` and `finalize_solution` are
11//! introduced as opaque [`IpoptData`] / [`IpoptCq`] types; their full
12//! field set lands in Phase 5.
13//!
14//! Trait objects: `dyn TNLP` is supported. Concrete callers store the
15//! TNLP behind an `Rc<RefCell<dyn TNLP>>` (so eval methods can mutate
16//! internal caches) — `pounce_algorithm::IpoptApplication` handles
17//! wrapping.
