Resolve remaining NumPy conflict with CIMOptimizer shared CondaPkg environment

[bernalde]

Follow-up from JuliaQUBO/QUBOBenchmarks.jl#19 after the first driver release wave.

Current registered versions tested

Fresh registry resolve on 2026-06-28:

• DWave v0.7.3
• CIMOptimizer v0.2.2
• QiskitOpt v0.7.1
• PySA v0.4.2
• CondaPkg v0.2.36
• PythonCall v0.9.35

The previous blockers are mostly cleared:

• DWave + QiskitOpt: OK
• QiskitOpt + CIMOptimizer: OK
• PySA + CIMOptimizer: OK
• DWave + PySA + QiskitOpt: OK

But the full shared Python-backed tier still fails, and the minimal failing pair is now:

DWave + CIMOptimizer                         FAIL
DWave + PySA + CIMOptimizer + QiskitOpt      FAIL

Failure

DWave v0.7.3 currently declares:

[deps]
python = ">=3.11,<=3.13"

[pip.deps]
numpy           = "~=2.2.0"
dwave-ocean-sdk = "==9.3.0"
dwave_networkx  = "==0.8.18"

CIMOptimizer v0.2.2 currently declares:

[deps]
python = ">=3.10,<3.12"
pytorch-cpu = ">=2.0.1"

[pip.deps]
cim-optimizer = "==1.0.4"

When resolving DWave + CIMOptimizer, pixi pins conda numpy==2.4.6 through the conda side, while the DWave PyPI side requires numpy>=2.2,<2.3.

Observed error:

failed to solve the pypi requirements
Because you require numpy>=2.2.0,<2.3.dev0 and numpy==2.4.6, we can
conclude that your requirements are unsatisfiable.

The following PyPI packages have been pinned by the conda solve:
numpy==2.4.6

Requested work

Please investigate whether DWave really needs to declare NumPy on the PyPI side as ~=2.2.0.

Likely fix options:

• Remove DWave's direct NumPy pip dependency if dwave-ocean-sdk already constrains NumPy adequately.
• Widen the DWave NumPy bound to include the conda-selected NumPy used with CIMOptimizer / pytorch-cpu, if compatible.
• Move/coordinate NumPy on the conda side instead of the PyPI side, if that is the intended shared-environment policy.

Acceptance criteria

• CondaPkg.resolve() succeeds for DWave + CIMOptimizer.
• CondaPkg.resolve() succeeds for the full Python-backed benchmark tier:
  DWave + PySA + CIMOptimizer + QiskitOpt.
• A small shared-environment smoke is added or documented so this does not regress.

Release notes:

DWave v0.7.4

• Remove DWave's direct PyPI NumPy dependency so shared CondaPkg environments can use the NumPy selected by the combined conda/PyPI solve.
• Preserve the audited DWave Ocean pins: dwave-ocean-sdk ==9.3.0 and dwave_networkx ==0.8.18.
• Add shared CondaPkg resolver coverage for the Python-backed JuliaQUBO benchmark tier.

This release resolves the remaining DWave/CIMOptimizer NumPy conflict tracked for QUBOBenchmarks.
