@knelli2 I had to set this as well to get the control systems to start. Do you have a better idea how to do this; and do you know what SpEC does here? @markscheel do you know?

Sometimes you have to do this in spec for high spins (make the excision surface move outward to avoid initial incoming char speeds), but I did not have to do this for the spec initial data I evolved

I dropped this change and instead made the ID excisions bigger to match the value SpEC uses for negative-expansion boundary conditions. That seems to help.

Helps the evolution control system to get started initially.
SpEC seems to use a fraction of 0.97, but our control systems
can't shrink the horizons yet (need state 3). A fraction of 0.93
seems enough to get the control systems started.
