What

Factor the bsupu/bsupv arithmetic out of computeBContra into a shared,
allocation-free kernel ComputeBsupContra (bcontra_kernel.h). The lambda
normalization (* lamscale, + phi') and the chi'/iota profile +
toroidal-current-constraint logic stay in the solver verbatim (they mutate state
and update profiles); only the differentiable field arithmetic is shared.

Why

Third force-chain kernel (after Jacobian #13 and metric #14). Allocation-free,
flat-buffer form so the exact Hessian-vector product can differentiate it.

Verification

Bit-for-bit vmec_standalone MHD energy, 1 and 4 threads (exercising the
ghost-cell radial partitioning where nsMinF1 != nsMinH), before and after:

            1 thread        4 threads
solovev     2.548352e+00    2.548352e+00   (2D)
cth_like    5.057191e-02    5.057191e-02   (3D)

clang-format clean. Stacked on #14.

Factor the bsupu/bsupv arithmetic out of computeBContra into the shared,
allocation-free kernel ComputeBsupContra (bcontra_kernel.h). The lambda
normalization (lamscale, + phi') and the chi'/iota profile and
toroidal-current-constraint logic stay in the solver verbatim, since they
mutate state and update profiles; only the differentiable field arithmetic
moves to the shared kernel.

Bit-exact across 1 and 4 threads (so the ghost-cell radial partitioning is
exercised) on solovev (2.548352e+00, 2D) and cth_like_fixed_bdy
(5.057191e-02, 3D).
The 'Compare benchmark result' step uses github-action-benchmark with
comment-on-alert and the GITHUB_TOKEN, which is read-only for pull requests from
forks -> 'Resource not accessible by integration'. Gate that step on the PR
coming from the same repo so fork PRs still run the benchmarks but skip the
write-back instead of failing.
The pinned vmec-0.0.6 cp310 wheel was f90wrapped against numpy 1.x. Under
the numpy 2.x that the test env now resolves, importing it dies in the
f90wrap array interface (f90wrap_vmec_input__array__rbc: 0-th dimension
must be fixed to 2 but got 4), so test_ensure_vmec2000_input_from_vmecpp_input
could never actually run on CI (and is currently red on main too, where the
wheel's runtime libs are not even installed).

Build VMEC2000 from upstream source with current f90wrap, which produces
numpy-2-compatible bindings. The recipe mirrors SIMSOPT's own CI
(hiddenSymmetries/VMEC2000, cmake/machines/ubuntu.json). An explicit
'import vmec' check in the install step surfaces any remaining problem here
rather than as a confusing test failure.
With VMEC2000 built from current upstream source, the compatibility test
runs for the first time and hits vmecpp indata fields that have no
counterpart in the legacy VMEC2000 INDATA namelist (e.g.
free_boundary_method), which raised AttributeError. The test explicitly
checks only the common subset, so guard the lookup with hasattr and skip
fields VMEC2000 does not have, instead of enumerating them one by one.

Bring this stack branch up to the corrected CI baseline (from proximafusion#583/proximafusion#564):
- tests.yaml: build VMEC2000 from the pinned source commit and cache the
  wheel; drop the unused FFTW/HDF5 dev packages.
- benchmarks.yaml: skip the result upload on fork PRs (read-only token).
- test_simsopt_compat.py: skip vmecpp-only INDATA fields.
- CMakeLists: pin abseil to the 20260107.1 commit hash, not the tag.
…hmark fork guard (proximafusion#564)

* build: bump CMake abseil pin to 20260107.1 for Clang >= 21

The CMake FetchContent abseil pin (2024-08) fails to compile under
Clang >= 21: absl::Nonnull SFINAE in absl/strings/ascii.cc and the
numbers.cc nullability annotations are rejected by the newer frontend.
Bump to the 20260107.1 LTS, which compiles cleanly under Clang 21.1.8
and GCC. Clang is the compiler required for the Enzyme autodiff build.

The Bazel build keeps its own (BCR) abseil pin and is unaffected.

* ci: skip benchmark result upload on fork PRs (token is read-only)

The 'Compare benchmark result' step uses github-action-benchmark with
comment-on-alert and the GITHUB_TOKEN, which is read-only for pull requests from
forks -> 'Resource not accessible by integration'. Gate that step on the PR
coming from the same repo so fork PRs still run the benchmarks but skip the
write-back instead of failing.

* ci: build VMEC2000 from source so the compat test runs on numpy 2

The pinned vmec-0.0.6 cp310 wheel was f90wrapped against numpy 1.x. Under
the numpy 2.x that the test env now resolves, importing it dies in the
f90wrap array interface (f90wrap_vmec_input__array__rbc: 0-th dimension
must be fixed to 2 but got 4), so test_ensure_vmec2000_input_from_vmecpp_input
could never actually run on CI (and is currently red on main too, where the
wheel's runtime libs are not even installed).

Build VMEC2000 from upstream source with current f90wrap, which produces
numpy-2-compatible bindings. The recipe mirrors SIMSOPT's own CI
(hiddenSymmetries/VMEC2000, cmake/machines/ubuntu.json). An explicit
'import vmec' check in the install step surfaces any remaining problem here
rather than as a confusing test failure.

* test: skip vmecpp-only indata fields in the VMEC2000 compat subset

With VMEC2000 built from current upstream source, the compatibility test
runs for the first time and hits vmecpp indata fields that have no
counterpart in the legacy VMEC2000 INDATA namelist (e.g.
free_boundary_method), which raised AttributeError. The test explicitly
checks only the common subset, so guard the lookup with hasattr and skip
fields VMEC2000 does not have, instead of enumerating them one by one.

* build: pin abseil to the 20260107.1 commit hash

Pin the FetchContent abseil dependency to commit 255c84d (the exact
commit behind the 20260107.1 LTS tag) instead of the tag itself, so a
moved tag cannot change the dependency under us.

* ci: cache and pin the VMEC2000-from-source build

Use the canonical recipe (cache the built wheel keyed on the pinned
source commit 728af8b, drop the unused FFTW/HDF5 dev packages) instead
of rebuilding VMEC2000 unpinned on every run.
