Description
Adding checkpointing for simulations to be able pause/stop a simulation and restart, or recover from some less that desirable interruption (power/etc).
This would require lots of book keeping and probably an overhaul to how the task iter is generated/computed.

Research direction
Start by locating how the simulation task iterator is generated and computed, then trace the simulation lifecycle around pause, stop, restart, and interruption recovery. Identify the state that must be preserved and the existing execution tests or entry points that cover task progress. Done means simulations can resume reliably after an intentional stop or an interruption, with coverage for checkpoint creation and recovery.
