Description
Hi,
I was wondering how to resume running MD. it is required if a previous run ended prematurely. I expected the checkpoint file to play a role somehow, but I'm getting an error.
I tried to trace the source code, but couldn't get a clue.

Research direction
Start with the traceback in run_md.py and the referenced setup code in openfe/setup/methods/openmm/equil_rbfe_methods.py and openfe/setup/_rbfe_utils/multistate.py. Check how the checkpoint and existing rbfe.nc files are handled, then document a reproducible way to resume an interrupted MD run and verify it avoids the overwrite error.
