Description

This is a twofold question:

  1. If I invoke the PTE solver for a pure cell, should it do something sensible? Should it just return?
  2. If we create a reduced system for, e.g., the fixed T solver with only 2 materials, we could end up with a 1x1 matrix. We should probably do something sensible there.

Thanks @dholladay00 for pointing this out

Research direction

Start by locating the PTE solver and the fixed-T reduced-system path, then trace how pure-cell cases and 1x1 matrices are currently handled. Clarify the intended behavior for both cases with maintainers, and add regression coverage showing that each case behaves sensibly.
