feat(build): ✨ declare named build options with scikit-build-core 1.1 - #421
scikit-build-core 1.1 lets a package declare its own config-settings and match overrides on them. Until now an override could only match environment variables, so the MPI switch had to be an environment variable, and the config-settings route had to repeat the mpi4py pin on the command line.
This PR bumps to scikit-build-core>=1.1.0 and declares five named build options. Each one can be set as -C monoprop.<name>=... or through an environment variable named after its CMake option:
Config-setting
Environment variable
Effect
monoprop.mpi
monoprop_ENABLE_MPI
MPI; adds mpi4py to the build requirements; builds into its own Release-mpi tree
monoprop.sanitizer
monoprop_SANITIZER
asan-ubsan / tsan; also selects the AsanUbsan / Tsan build type and tree
monoprop.cxx-unit-tests
monoprop_ENABLE_CXX_UNIT_TESTS
build the C++ suite
monoprop.arch-flags
monoprop_ENABLE_ARCH_FLAGS
architecture-specific flags
monoprop.mpi-test-procs
monoprop_MPI_TEST_PROCS
rank counts for the C++ MPI tests
Existing environment-variable workflows keep working. Unset options pass no define, so CMake's own defaults still apply. A misspelled option is rejected with a suggestion.
These environment variables, plus SKBUILD_BUILD_DIR, SKBUILD_CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE and SKBUILD_CMAKE_DEFINE, are added to tool.uv.cache-keys. uv now rebuilds when you switch variants, without --reinstall-package monoprop --no-cache.
The MPI build gets its own tree because scikit-build-core reconfigures from scratch in every isolated build. With separate trees, ninja reuses each variant's object files. It is a directory suffix rather than a new build type, so CMake's Release flags are kept.
Changes
pyproject.toml:
require scikit-build-core>=1.1.0
declare the options above and forward them to CMake with cmake.define = {config-setting = ...}
add overrides for mpi4py, the MPI build tree and the sanitizer build types
add the variant environment variables to tool.uv.cache-keys
justfile:
build_dir follows monoprop_SANITIZER and monoprop_ENABLE_MPI
test-cpp-mpi always reads the MPI tree
test-mpi points its C++ legs at the MPI tree and passes rank counts through the environment
test-mpi and bench-build-mpi no longer pass --reinstall-package/--no-cache
CI:
the sanitizer jobs set only monoprop_SANITIZER
the other jobs use monoprop_ENABLE_CXX_UNIT_TESTS=OFF instead of SKBUILD_CMAKE_DEFINE
the SonarQube and clang-tidy jobs, which build with MPI, read build/editable/Release-mpi
Nix: the pinned scikit-build-core moves from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0 (1.0.3 can't read the new tables).
CMakePresets.json / .vscode: add the Release-mpi tree.
Docs:
building.mdx: new "Build options" section, including a warning that the environment variable beats -C; the MPI and sanitizer sections are simplified
testing.mdx, README.md and cpp/tests/README.md follow
Not included:#418's tools/container/Dockerfile isn't on main yet. Once both PRs land, it can switch to -C monoprop.mpi=ON -C monoprop.arch-flags=OFF -C monoprop.cxx-unit-tests=OFF. Until then, its current monoprop_ENABLE_MPI / cmake.define.* spelling keeps working.
Testing
On this branch:
just build --group workspace-test, just test-py and just test-cpp: 657 Python and 323 C++ tests pass.
just test-mpi: the MPI tree is used, and 672 Python, 350 serial C++ and the MPI C++ entries pass.
prek run --all-files is clean.
Earlier, on the same changes stacked on feat/hpc-container:
monoprop_SANITIZER=asan-ubsan built into build/editable/AsanUbsan, and just test-cpp-asan passed all 323 tests.
nix build .#monoprop succeeded against scikit-build-core 1.1.0.
Switching between serial and MPI rebuilt each time without extra flags, and has_mpi matched the variant.
After the first build of each tree, a switch took about 110 s instead of about 390 s.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The project now exposes build variants through environment variables and config-settings. Build and test commands use separate MPI and sanitizer build trees. CI workflows and documentation use the updated settings and paths.
Changes: Build Variant Configuration and MPI Workflows
The project adds scikit-build config-settings and cache keys for build variants. MPI and sanitizer mappings are updated, and the minimum scikit-build-core requirement changes to 1.1.0.
Variant build and test trees justfile, CMakePresets.json, .github/workflows/*, .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json
Build and test recipes select variant-specific trees. MPI configure, build, and test presets are added. CI and editor compile-command paths reference the MPI tree where specified.
Build and test instructions README.md, cpp/tests/README.md, docs/content/docs/*
The instructions describe build options, MPI provisioning and build trees, sanitizer selection, and cache behavior. MPI test commands use the separate MPI tree.
MPI test commands can use a stale or missing non-MPI build for supported boolean spellings; normalize these values before relying on that workflow.

scikit-build-core 1.1 lets a package declare its own config-settings and
match overrides on them. Use that to give the source build a documented
interface instead of raw CMake defines:
- monoprop.mpi, monoprop.sanitizer, monoprop.cxx-unit-tests,
monoprop.arch-flags and monoprop.mpi-test-procs, each settable as
`-C monoprop.<name>=...` or through the environment variable named after
the CMake option (which takes precedence). Unset options drop their
define, so CMake's defaults stay authoritative.
- monoprop.mpi provisions mpi4py for both routes; overrides could
previously only match environment variables, so the config-settings
route had to repeat the mpi4py pin.
- The sanitizer option also selects the AsanUbsan/Tsan build type, and MPI
builds use their own Release-mpi tree, so switching variants rebuilds
incrementally instead of reconfiguring a shared tree.
- The variant environment variables join tool.uv.cache-keys, so uv
rebuilds on a switch without --reinstall-package/--no-cache.
The justfile, CI, Nix pin, presets and docs follow.
Assisted-by: Pi:claude-opus-5-5
The persistent build tree keeps the last CMake cache value when a
config-setting is unset and drops its define, so unsetting
cxx-unit-tests, arch-flags or mpi-test-procs did not restore the CMake
default. Give these settings explicit defaults mirroring CMake, so a
define is always passed. arch-flags can default to true because
cmake_dependent_option still forces it off for Debug and sanitizer
builds. The mpi and sanitizer settings select their own build tree and
need no default.
Also add SKBUILD_CMAKE_ARGS to the uv cache keys, so changing it
triggers a rebuild now that the syncs no longer pass --no-cache.
Assisted-by: Pi:claude-opus-5-5
monoprop.mpi accepts Y, T, and positive numbers, but justfile recognizes only on|true|yes|1. With monoprop_ENABLE_MPI=Y, scikit-build-core builds build/editable/Release-mpi, while test-cpp selects build/editable/Release. The test can therefore fail because that tree is absent or run stale non-MPI tests.

Update the truthy-value check used to set mpi_extra in the justfile so it
matches scikit-build-core, including Y, T, and positive numbers; keep the
existing behavior for recognized false values.
