Copilot wants me to review the empty "Initial plan" commit?!? What a waste of a copilot credit... |

Motivation
Current CACTS configs define both
EKAT_TEST_DOUBLE_PRECISIONandEKAT_TEST_SINGLE_PRECISIONtogether, which forcesReal=doublein tests andcan mask single-precision regressions. This PR separates precision modes so
single-precision is exercised with only SP enabled, while release coverage
remains DP-only.
Configuration split
Workflow alignment
changes.
Effective macro behavior
EKAT_TEST_SINGLE_PRECISION, avoidingaccidental DP fallback from dual-definition builds.
E3SM Stakeholder Feedback
Issue feedback requests precision isolation in CACTS and recommends:
debug = both precisions (in separate builds), release = double precision only.
This PR implements that policy.
Testing
Coverage intent is now explicit in CI:
This ensures SP behavior is validated independently from DP.
