📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds modular-2 zero-half cut generation, integrates it into zero-half separation, adds lifted mixed-binary covers, propagates time and work limits through separators, and signals concurrent branch-and-bound workers on time limits. ChangesZero-half separation and solver limits
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds a new zero-half separator and changes node timeout handling. A concrete timeout path can leave concurrent work running after the requested limit, while numerical guards and tolerance handling may mis-handle extreme coefficients or admit weak cuts.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Guard the magnitude before std::llround.
mod2_integral_scale accepts a value as integral using a relative tolerance, so a very large coefficient or right-hand side (for example 1e19) passes the check. std::llround on a value outside the long long range is undefined behavior, and the parity derived from it is meaningless. Reject candidates whose magnitude exceeds a safe bound before computing parity.
