🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Verify that the HEX relabel matches the transformed cell.

The notebook applies supercell_matrix=[[1, 0, 0], [-1, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]] and then sets interface.lattice.type = "HEX". The text states that this gives γ = 120°. The code only prints γ after the step. It does not assert γ ≈ 120° or a = b.

If the interface cell differs from the expected one, for example for a different selected_index or MAX_AREA, the label is wrong. The simulation notebook then builds a K point for a non-hexagonal cell.

Add an assertion after the relabel.

Proposed fix
 interface.lattice.type = "HEX"
+assert abs(interface.lattice.gamma - 120.0) < 0.5, f"Unexpected gamma: {interface.lattice.gamma}"
+assert abs(interface.lattice.a - interface.lattice.b) < 1e-3, "Cell is not hexagonal: a != b"

around lines 387 - 392:
After setting `interface.lattice.type` to `"HEX"` in the notebook, assert that
the transformed cell has γ approximately 120° and equal a and b lattice lengths,
using tolerances and failure messages that report unexpected geometry.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
