Description

The warning refers to global atoms so it's hard for users to map them back to the component. It might be good to map it back to the component residues.

Research direction

Start by locating the set_and_check_new_positions entry point and inspect how its warning currently identifies global atoms. Determine how those atoms can be mapped to component residues, then update the warning so users can make that connection; the work is done when the warning identifies the relevant component residues instead of only global atoms.
