wrap only the pbc axis for each atom

support init simstate with list of bools

better test that uses itertools

update vesin version

fix pbc check in integrators

fix more pytests

more fixing

more fixes

VesinNeighborListTorch is slow

fix metatensor for pbc

more fixes

trajectory  runs

bump metatomic version or vesin will complain

fix errors

wip fix more trajectory issues

make trajectory pass

fix pbc in diff_sim

fix ase atoms to state conversion for pbc

assert the pymatgen pbc is valid

proper conversion between pbc for atoms, and pymatgen

do not pass in pbc to phononpy

rm warning and add doc to github

make consistent with prev implementation

fix io tests

lint

minor simplification

simplify test

more simplification changes

fix some tests

satisfy prek but ruff check errors :/ we'll fix this later

more cleanup

rename
