Description

Follow-up from #569

Simulations involving charge changes probably need somewhere around 22 to 24 windows (@hannahbaumann has been using the former in testing). We should make sure that folks do that.

Currently we only have a single option for defaults and overriding user options is maybe not amazing - we could at least raise a warning? Is that enough or should we be more heavy handed?

Research direction

Start by reading issue #569 and tracing how lambda-window defaults and user overrides are handled. Decide whether charge-change simulations should warn or enforce a 22–24 window range, then define the expected behavior and tests before implementing it.
