Frequentist profile likelihoods have seen a resurgence in cosmology, offering an alternative to Bayesian methods as they can circumvent the impact of prior-volume effects. This paper presents Procoli, a fast and accessible package to obtain profile likelihoods in cosmology, available on GitHub and PyPI. Procoli seamlessly integrates with MontePython, incorporating all its available data likelihoods, as well as any modified versions of CLASS. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Procoli code, detailing the simulated-annealing optimizer at its core and the sequential computation of the profile. An an example, we use the early dark energy model which is afflicted by prior-volume effects to illustrate the code's features. We validate its optimizer with mock data, and compare optimization techniques for both the global minimum and the profile. Procoli further enables splitting profiles into their component contributions from individual experiments, offering nuanced insights into the data and model. As a valuable addition to the cosmologist's toolkit, Procoli supplements existing Bayesian codes, contributing to more robust parameter constraints in cosmological studies.

Dark energy perturbations and the robustness of cosmological neutrino-mass constraints
Including dark-energy perturbations shifts cosmological neutrino-mass constraints toward smaller effective masses, making the dynamical-dark-energy alleviation of the neutrino-mass tension non-generic.

Neutrino mass limits and decaying dark matter: background evolution versus perturbations
Decaying dark matter can hide neutrino mass from expansion-history data, but CMB lensing unmasks it and restores ∑mν ≲ 0.079 eV.

Probing the sound speed and clustering of dark energy
For a time-varying dark energy model, current data give log10 c_s^2 = -3.00 (+2.9/-0.99), a first but weak constraint on its clustering.

Debiasing inference in large-scale structure with non-flat volume measures
A curvature-weighted, non-flat volume measure removes the leading-order marginalization bias in posterior means, recovering cosmological parameters in mocks to below 0.1 sigma.

Primordial Sharp Features through the Nonlinear Regime of Structure Formation
Sharp primordial features survive nonlinear structure formation as localised bumps or dips in the matter power spectrum, while their oscillatory patterns are erased, leaving an oscillatory imprint in the halo mass function.

The $H_0$ World Cup. I. Summary of the baseline group stage results
In a systematic head-to-head analysis, early dark energy and early modified gravity models reduce the Hubble tension to about 3σ and are favored over ΛCDM, while radiation and late-time alternatives are not.

Determination of neutron star radius from pulse profile modeling using profile likelihood
Profile-likelihood maximization over nuisance parameters in X-PSI recovers injected neutron-star radius to <1σ on synthetic data, with precision comparable to MultiNest Bayesian inference but ~400× lower CPU cost.

Bayesian and frequentist perspectives agree on dynamical dark energy
Frequentist profile-likelihood constraints on the CPL dark-energy parameters w0 and wa agree with Bayesian posteriors across DESI, CMB, and SN datasets, corroborating the evidence for dynamical dark energy.

Constraints on Lorentz Invariance Violation from Gamma-ray Burst rest-frame spectral lags using Profile Likelihood
A profile-likelihood reanalysis of 56 GRB rest-frame spectral lags gives 95% lower limits E_QG ≥ 2.07e14 GeV (linear) and E_QG ≥ 3.71e5 GeV (quadratic).
