Description
When a particle is lost during transport, OpenMC now (with this PR) automatically replays it from its original source site with tracking enabled, writing the full track history to tracks.h5 without requiring a manual -r/-t restart. Previously, diagnosing a lost particle required identifying it from the warning output, then re-running with the restart file — this change eliminates that step entirely. If there are multiple lost particles, each is written to separate parts of one tracks.h5 file to avoid clogging up the directory.
This will also later support functionality in the plotter to help visualize particle failures in the geometry.
