I wouldn't call this a bug, but at the Massive star Hackathon @rhdtownsend identified that we are using a fixed density floor for the outer_BC in the atmosphere integration routine when atm_T_tau_opacity = 'varying':

real(dp), parameter :: RHO_OUTER = 1.E-10_dp |
It's not clear why this value was chosen, but reducing it to a lower density might be warranted, and even necessary for some models where the surface extends beyond 1d-10 g/cm^2 in density. It remains to be seen.
