Research direction

Start in src/SparseWithDenseRowColMatrices.jl:37-53 and inspect the existing PrecompileTools workload inside the Float64 and ComplexF64 loop. Extend the workload to cover the named QR, adjoint/transpose matvec, and lstsq paths using the small dimensions described, then verify that the package's precompile workload completes successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

WHAT: The @compile_workload (src/SparseWithDenseRowColMatrices.jl:37-53) exercises only A*b, factorize(A), F\b, refactor!(F, nonzeros(...)) — all LU/Woodbury. It never touches qr, QR refactor!/ldiv!, adjoint/transpose matvec (A'*u), or lstsq/SparseWithDenseRowColLeastSquares. WHY IT MATTERS: The entire new feature surface — the point of this work — pays full first-call compilation latency, directly undercutting the new features' UX. PrecompileTools is already set up, so extending is cheap. FIX: In the existing for T in (Float64, ComplexF64) loop add Fq = qr(A); Fq \ b; refactor!(Fq, A); Fq' \ b; A' * b; lstsq(A2, b) (small well-posed A2, guard the lstsq call). Keep it small (current workload uses n=12, r=2). EFFORT: S.


Priority: medium. Filed from an automated next-steps audit of the QR/lstsq work (see PR #6).
