Research direction

Start with note #1182 in variable_info/variable_meta_data.py, then inspect subsystems/geometry/flops_based/characteristic_lengths.py to understand how the intermediate calculation is represented in metadata. Remove the metadata entry while preserving the characteristic-length calculation, and verify that the project’s relevant checks still pass.
