Run the presolve emphasis and abort-fraction A/B campaign and land tuned defaults. The emphasis levels (off/conservative/default/aggressive), the effectiveness-abort fraction (PRESOLVE_ABORT_FRACTION = 0.001), the round cap, and the per-emphasis SAC probe budgets (#460) are all hand-set. Supersedes #461, split to separate the mechanical measurement from the product decision.
Measurement (needs a dedicated, uncontended bench window of 300s-per-instance runs):
For each of --presolve conservative|default|aggressive, run bench solve suite=mzn-bench engine=cp timeout=300000 and diff dirs with output/compare.sh (verdict counts plus time-to-best).
A/B the abort fraction across a few values the same way.
Decision and land (needs sign-off, since the shipped default affects every user):
Pick the default emphasis and abort fraction from the numbers and update the constants.
Decide per-scenario emphasis for the portfolio, weighing the shared-presolve choice against the whole worker pool (the LS arm already drops solution-set-altering passes via forLocalSearch()).
Why
The presolve knobs are guesses, and the campaign needs uncontended compute (part A) plus a human call on a default change (part B), so it is not autonomously completable. Track it as a deliberate campaign rather than a code task. Refs #461, #341, #345, #460.
