Research direction

Start by locating the nuclear gradient implementation and its use of GPU4PySCF's grids_noresponse_cc routine. Check the behavior with GPU4PySCF versions newer than 1.7.0 and compare it with the merged pull request; done means the nuclear gradient calculation works without pinning GPU4PySCF to 1.7.0.
