to re-run the simulation using an input file and optionally specifying
specific events to re-simulate.

~~~admonish warning title='Requirements'
In order to properly re-simulate an event, we need to have properly saved the
state of the random number generator at the beginning of the event.
This is only done for ldmx-sw versions _after_ v3.3.0 so this re-simulation
will only function propertly on samples that were generated with a version
of ldmx-sw v3.3.0 or newer.
Additionally, the event will only be re-simulated if the same simulation
configuration is used, meaning you should find the config script that was
originally used to generate the sample before attempting to re-simulate.

## Basics
A key component of re-simulation is to keep the physics configuration of the
simulation _identical_ to what it was originally. With this in mind, the
