Symmetry screening

The summary table shows one row per linked MAGNDATA record and symmetry-precision variant. If a MAGNDATA ID has multiple Spglib symprec values in the source data, it appears on multiple rows. The cards below keep the same expanded per-variant detail view, including wave classification and mismatch metrics.
