Description

polaron_main seems to extract only the "MACROSCOPIC STATIC DIELECTRIC TENSOR IONIC CONTRIBUTION", instead of the "MACROSCOPIC STATIC DIELECTRIC TENSOR (including local field effects in DFT)".
This is different from the data extracted by 'phonopy-vasp-born'.

Research direction

Start with the polaron_main entry point and trace how it extracts the dielectric tensor into epsilon_inf.txt. Compare its output with the full MACROSCOPIC STATIC DIELECTRIC TENSOR, including local field effects in DFT, and with phonopy-vasp-born; done means the extracted value matches the intended full tensor rather than only the ionic contribution.
