Description
Many times, I've spent quite a bit of time generating the simulations successfully and have the job crash because I'm trying to save it in a directory that I don't have write permissions to. It'd be useful to check early on that all the outputs can actually be written during the setup time.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing configuration setup and the handling of configured output directories, then identify how setup can verify write access before simulation work begins. Done means invalid output permissions are reported during setup rather than after simulations have run.
