Description

The following cf convention recommendation is flagged. Check to see if we can do anything about this or if we have to add it to the ignore list.

```
{
"mip_table": "atmos@day",
"checker": "cdds_cf:1.11",
"error_message": "\u00a77.1 Cell Boundaries: Bounds variable lev_bnds and parent variable lev have the following matching attributes ['standard_name', 'units']. It is recommended that only the parent variable of the bounds variable contains these attributes",
"affected_files": 6,
"affected_vars": "cl_tavg-al-hxy-u"
},
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the cdds_cf:1.11 checker result for the atmos@day table and affected variable cl_tavg-al-hxy-u, then inspect how matching bounds attributes are handled. Done means deciding whether the recommendation is valid for these outputs and documenting or implementing either a checker change or an ignore-list entry.
