Research direction

The report only identifies save_checkpoint and a rank-step assertion; no file or test is named. Start by reproducing the checkpoint save with the same multi-rank setup and inspect how step values differ across ranks. Done means the cause is documented or the save completes without the assertion, with a regression test if the project provides one.
