Description

Currently only compilation with Garfield is being tested in the pipeline, however we've seen that this does not always mean it will run without errors (https://github.com/rest-for-physics/detectorlib/pull/35).

We should add an example / test to verify Garfield classes work correctly in the framework.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the pipeline's existing Garfield compilation check and nearby examples to identify the appropriate test entry point. Add an example or test that exercises Garfield classes at runtime within the framework, and verify the pipeline catches runtime failures as well as compilation errors.
