Description
Problem
The Downgrade CI job fails because julia-downgrade-compat resolves PrecompileTools to v1.0.0 (the lower bound of compat "1"), which fails to load on Julia 1.10:
ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: `PrecompileTools` not defined
This causes all test sets to error since the package itself cannot be precompiled.
Current Workaround
The Downgrade job has been disabled with if: false in #57, following the same pattern as DelayDiffEq.jl.
Potential Fixes
- Bump PrecompileTools compat lower bound to a version that works correctly on Julia 1.10 (e.g.,
PrecompileTools = "1.2"or whichever version first supported Julia 1.10 properly) - Add PrecompileTools to the
skiplist in the downgrade workflow:skip: Pkg,TOML,PrecompileTools - Investigate PrecompileTools v1.0.0 to determine if this is a bug in that version or an expected incompatibility
References
- PR #57 (CI refactor with test groups)
- DelayDiffEq.jl uses the same
if: falsepattern for their downgrade job

Research direction
Start with the downgrade workflow changed in PR #57 and reproduce the PrecompileTools v1.0.0 resolution under Julia 1.10. Compare the compat lower bound, the workflow skip list, and the DelayDiffEq.jl pattern; done means the downgrade job is re-enabled and all test sets complete successfully.
