perf(sparse): trim the stages around the CSR solver hand-off

doc/release_notes.rst

@@ -75,6 +75,12 @@ Upcoming Version
 * ``LinearExpression.flat`` and ``LinearExpression.to_polars`` on a CSR-backed expression are emitted directly from the sparse backing instead of expanding the dense rectangle; the rows equal those of the dense path, with absent cells and zero coefficients dropped. (`#968 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/968>`__)
 * A CSR-backed linear objective stays sparse when set with ``Model.add_objective`` and when the model is exported or solved: the objective vector ``matrices.c``, LP/MPS files, netcdf output, ``Model.copy``, persistent snapshots and direct solver APIs all read it without expanding the dense rectangle, with results equal to the dense objective. The objective name is now owned by the ``Objective`` itself (``Objective.name`` and ``Objective.attrs``) instead of being written into the expression's attributes. (`#967 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/967>`__)
 * Persistent snapshots of tz-aware ``DatetimeIndex`` coordinates no longer materialise an object array of ``Timestamp`` per container per capture and diff. Coordinates are stored as UTC-ns arrays with the timezone identity carried alongside, making snapshot capture ~24x and warm-start diffs ~33x faster on tz-aware models, while naive and tz-aware coordinates — and differing timezones — stay correctly unequal. (`#960 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/pull/960>`__)
+* The MOSEK direct API builds bound keys, bounds and constraint names vectorised instead of looping over every row and column in Python.
+* The LP writer computes the scaling lookups once per file, skips scaling when every factor is 1, does not re-sort rows that are already grouped (as frozen constraints deliver them) and builds each constraint line from fewer string branches. Constraint writing is about 2x faster; the output is byte-identical.
+* ``linopy.merge`` of CSR-backed expressions concatenates all operands once instead of folding them pairwise, so an N-way merge scales with the total number of nonzeros instead of quadratically with the operand count.
+* ``LinearExpression.solution`` on a CSR-backed expression is evaluated on its sparse backing without densifying.
+* ``model.matrices`` assembles the constraint blocks into preallocated CSR buffers in one pass, without ``vstack``, ``eliminate_zeros`` or a full-grid scaling round trip; scaling is skipped when it is identity. Label lookups use the model's label dtype, so ``matrices.clabels`` and ``matrices.indicator_binvar`` are now ``int32`` by default. On an 8M-row model this is 45% faster with 200 MB less peak memory, with bit-identical output.
+* Duals of frozen constraints are read back on the active rows directly instead of through three full-grid arrays, and freezing a masked constraint gathers rows once instead of up to three times. Mixed-sign constraints convert their sense vectorised instead of in a Python loop.
