December 2025 monthly summary for cvxgrp/cvxpy-ipopt emphasizing stability and maintainability following a master merge regression. Resolved a merge-induced regression by removing an unused import and adjusting a function signature to include an extra parameter for better handling of problem classes. The change stabilizes problem-class processing, preserves API compatibility, and reduces downstream runtime errors in optimization workflows that rely on Ipopt integration. The work is documented by commit a4353570fb7934952c181631cae456dde8e991ad ("try to fix missed stuff from master merge").
