Description
We added this field for some reason instead of using u directly, but we can't remember why.
Maybe we can get rid of that.

Research direction
Search the Julia sources for the solid container, current_coordinates, and u, then trace every reference to determine why both fields exist. The issue names no files or tests, so first identify the relevant container definition and its callers. Done means establishing whether current_coordinates is redundant and documenting or implementing the agreed cleanup safely.
