No strong duality

This example is interesting, because strong duality doesn't hold for the extensive form (see if you can show why!), but we still converge.

using SDDP, HiGHS, Test

function no_strong_duality()
    model = SDDP.PolicyGraph(
        SDDP.Graph(
            :root,
            [:node],
            [(:root => :node, 1.0), (:node => :node, 0.5)],
        );
        optimizer = HiGHS.Optimizer,
        lower_bound = 0.0,
    ) do sp, t
        @variable(sp, x, SDDP.State, initial_value = 1.0)
        @stageobjective(sp, x.out)
        @constraint(sp, x.in == x.out)
    end
    SDDP.train(model)
    @test SDDP.calculate_bound(model) ≈ 2.0 atol = 1e-5
    return
end
