Description

Hello!

I calculated free energy differences for a network, but it appears not to be converged. I didn't understand how to extend an existing simulation. The openfe.ProtocolDAG page mentions the parameter extends_key with type GufeKey, but I don't know what to pass here and the link is broken. I would have expected a path to results.json or the results directory? Is it possible to provide a minimal example of how to continue the unconverged simulation?

Thanks! :)

Research direction

Start with the referenced openfe.ProtocolDAG API documentation and the extends_key entry point, then trace its GufeKey usage and the linked documentation target. Document what existing simulation data can be passed and add a minimal continuation example; done means the link works and users can follow the example to extend an unconverged simulation.
