Description

Right now the input validation will not warn you if there is an unused field in the options struct. This results in a problem when you make a typo in a field name, causing the solver to use the default options quietly.

Research direction
Examine the input validation logic in the repository, likely within a validation function or script. Add a check for unrecognized field names in the options struct and emit a warning if any are found. Review the existing comments on the issue for any additional context or constraints from maintainers.
