Research direction

Start by reading the linked reference, ITensor/ITensors.jl#1338, to understand the reported mismatch in arrow directions. Then locate the add(::MPS, ::MPS; alg="directsum") implementation and its tests; done means the directsum operation works for mismatched arrow directions with coverage for the regression.
