Research direction

Search the source for the warning text "There is no geometry trace property", which is emitted when Duplicate Setup with Last Geometry runs on an energy-only calculation. Replace that string with the suggested wording, then duplicate a calculation that has no geometry trace to confirm the new message appears. Done when the warning reads "This calculation has no optimised geometry; the copy keeps the starting structure."

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Duplicate Setup with Last Geometry on an energy-only calculation (no geometry trace) shows "WARNING: There is no geometry trace property. Coordinates unchanged." (seen 2026-10-15, QE silicon). Suggested wording: "This calculation has no optimised geometry; the copy keeps the starting structure." Not release-critical.
