Research direction

Read the linked Discourse thread, especially the comments from October 2019, to identify the sampler and saved mass-matrix guidance that needs clarification. Locate all documentation sections covering sampler configuration and mass-matrix saving, then update the relevant explanations so users can follow the workflow unambiguously; done means the affected docs consistently explain how to use a saved mass matrix.
