"description": "For a fixed structure (Al face-centered cubic), run 5 single-point energy calculations with varying ENCUT (280, 300, 320, 340, 360 eV). All other parameters must be strictly constant: k-point mesh, ISMEAR, SIGMA, POTCAR path, etc. This verifies systematic parameter scanning ability.",
