PyAMGXSolver referenced self.precon, but the base Solver stores the preconditioner on self.preconditioner. Instantiating any pyamgx solver (e.g. LinearGMRESSolver()) therefore raised 'AttributeError: ... has no attribute precon' before any GPU work began. Also forward precon to the base __init__ (matching scipySolver and petscKrylovSolver), so an explicitly passed preconditioner and the class DEFAULT_PRECONDITIONER are honored instead of silently dropped. Fixes usnistgov#1199.

Fixes #1199.
Problem
Instantiating any pyamgx-backed solver raises immediately, before any GPU work:
PyAMGXSolver.__init__checksself.precon, but the baseSolverstores thepreconditioner on
self.preconditioner(set from thepreconargument viavalue_or_default(precon, default_preconditioner)). There is noself.preconattribute, so construction fails.
This matches the maintainer’s diagnosis in #1199 ("it looks like there’s a typo … that should be
if self.preconditioner is not None: self.preconditioner._applyToSolver(...)"), and the reporter confirmed that renaming it removes the error.Fix
self.preconditionerinstead of the non-existentself.precon.precon=preconto the baseSolver.__init__, matchingscipySolverand
petscKrylovSolver. Without this, both an explicitly passedpreconand the pyamgx solvers’ class
DEFAULT_PRECONDITIONERwere silentlydropped — the base initializes
self.preconditionerfrom itspreconarg,which previously defaulted to
"default"→Nonefor every pyamgx solver.Verification
py_compileclean; no remainingself.preconreference.scipySolver/petscKrylovSolver__init__signatures, plus the maintainer diagnosis andreporter confirmation in object has no attribute 'precon' in
pyamgxsolvers #1199.GPU, which are unavailable in this environment, so I could not add a
CI-runnable regression test without that dependency. Happy to add one if there
is a pyamgx-capable CI lane I can target.
