We write a boundary condition for the ScalarTensor system that combines the Bjorhus BCs for the metric sector and the constraint-preserving BC of CurvedScalarWave.
This is not a true constraint-preserving boundary condition since the gh BCs assume no backreaction of the scalar, and conversely, the constraint-preserving boundary conditions of the scalar assume a fixed spacetime geometry. I find that this approximation behaves well during evolution.
