Description

Using this issue to keep track of what's necessary. My initial thought is that we don't really need to backup any part of the advance. If we run into an issue we just restart from the beginning with the new timestep, and reinitialize all of the stage data.

Research direction

The payload names no files or tests; first locate the true-SDC implementation and its current use_retry handling. Read the surrounding timestep and stage-data lifecycle, then validate that a retry restarts from the beginning with the new timestep and reinitializes all stage data, as described.
