Wait for #2089 to test runtestpy with macos

Introduce shamcomm::MpiInstance, which initializes MPI on construction
when it is not already started and finalizes it on destruction or close()
only if this instance owns the session.

Assisted-by: Cursor Agent
Keep the existing start_mpi and close_mpi API and drive MPI_Init /
MPI_Finalize through a unique_ptr to the RAII MpiInstance.

Assisted-by: Cursor Agent
Use a name that matches MPIInitInfo and makes the RAII init/finalize
role explicit.

Thanks @tdavidcl for opening this PR!

You can do multiple things directly here:
1 - Comment pre-commit.ci run to run pre-commit checks.
2 - Comment pre-commit.ci autofix to apply fixes.
3 - Add label autofix.ci to fix authorship & pre-commit for every commit made.
4 - Add label full-ci to run the full test suite (default is light CI; full CI also runs on Mergify merge-queue branches).
5 - Add label trigger-ci to create an empty commit to trigger the CI.

Once the workflow completes a message will appear displaying informations related to the run.

Also the PR gets automatically reviewed by gemini, you can:
1 - Comment /gemini review to trigger a review
2 - Comment /gemini summary for a summary
3 - Tag it using @gemini-code-assist either in the PR or in review comments on files

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds MPIInitGuard for MPI initialization ownership and exception-aware cleanup. NodeInstance now uses the guard instead of direct MPI lifecycle calls. A lifecycle test covers inactive guards and repeated close() calls.

Changes

MPI lifecycle management

Layer / File(s) Summary
MPI guard lifecycle
src/shamcomm/include/shamcomm/MPIInitGuard.hpp, src/shamcomm/src/MPIInitGuard.cpp, src/shamcomm/CMakeLists.txt
Adds the MPIInitGuard API and implementation. The guard initializes MPI when required, finalizes only owned state, handles exception unwinding, and supports idempotent close().
NodeInstance MPI integration
src/shamsys/src/NodeInstance.cpp
Stores MPI ownership in MPIInitGuard and replaces direct MPI initialization and finalization calls.
Lifecycle validation
src/tests/shamcomm/MPIInitGuardTests.cpp
Tests inactive guard behavior and repeated close() calls while MPI remains initialized.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 15b09

MPI startup failures can leave other ranks blocked because the cleanup guard is retained beyond the failing startup path. The guard lifetime and exception-abort path should be fixed before merging.

MPI_Finalize(), before the corresponding MPI calls in MPIInitGuard.

Light CI is enabled (the default for pull requests). This will only run the basic tests and not the full tests.
Full CI runs if the full-ci label is set, or automatically on Mergify merge-queue branches (mergify/merge-queue/*).
The merge gate job "on PR / all" is skipped in this case. Queue entry uses "on PR / all_light"; full CI runs in the merge queue.

If the destructor runs while an exception is in flight, call MPI_Abort
instead of MPI_Finalize so a single crashing rank cannot finalize alone.

Keep the guard local until MPI startup succeeds.

Line 258 stores the guard in namespace storage before later startup operations can throw. Stack unwinding does not destroy mpi_init_guard, so MPIInitGuard::~MPIInitGuard() cannot call MPI_Abort. Other ranks can remain blocked in MPI operations.

Keep the guard local through the fallible startup steps. Transfer it to mpi_init_guard only after startup succeeds. Add a top-level abort path for exceptions after start_mpi returns.
