+# `DetectorErrorModel.from_guppy` Handoff
+
+This note is for future work on the DEM polish path. It captures the current
+local fix and the validation target for constrained-ancilla surface-code DEMs.
+
+## Context
+
+The `dem-polish` work adds a Python-level `DetectorErrorModel.from_guppy(...)`
+entry point. The intended shape is:
+
+1. Build any Guppy program, including constrained surface-code memory circuits.
+2. Trace it through Selene/QIS into a `TickCircuit`.
+3. Attach caller-provided detector and observable metadata.
+4. Build the native PECOS DEM from that traced circuit.
+
+This should support calls like:
+
+```python
+from pecos.guppy import get_num_qubits, make_surface_code
+from pecos.qec import DetectorErrorModel
+
+program = make_surface_code(
+    distance=9,
+    num_rounds=18,
+    basis="Z",
+    ancilla_budget=17,
+)
+
+dem = DetectorErrorModel.from_guppy(
+    program,
+    num_qubits=get_num_qubits(9, ancilla_budget=17),
+    detectors_json=detectors_json,
+    observables_json=observables_json,
+    num_measurements=num_measurements,
+    p1=p,
+    p2=p,
+    p_meas=p,
+    p_prep=p,
+)
+```
+
+## Import-Time Issue
+
+`pecos_rslib.qec.DetectorErrorModel` is not currently subclassable from Python.
+Defining:
+
+```python
+class DetectorErrorModel(_RustDetectorErrorModel):
+    ...
+```
+
+causes `import pecos` to fail with:
+
+```text
+TypeError: type 'pecos_rslib.qec.DetectorErrorModel' is not an acceptable base type
+```
+
+The current local fix is to re-export the Rust class directly and attach the
+Python convenience constructor:
+
+```python
+DetectorErrorModel = _RustDetectorErrorModel
+DetectorErrorModel.from_guppy = classmethod(...)
+```
+
+This keeps the public API as `pecos.qec.DetectorErrorModel.from_guppy(...)`
+while preserving the Rust class identity for objects returned by
+`from_circuit(...)` and `from_guppy(...)`.
+
+## Constrained-Ancilla Surface DEM Target
+
+The key surface-code use case is Helios-sized rotated surface code memory:
+
+- `distance=9`
+- `ancilla_budget=17`
+- `num_qubits=98`
+- both X and Z memory bases
+- DEMs built from the traced Guppy/Selene/QIS path
+
+Important checks:
+
+```bash
+uv run python -c "from pecos.guppy import make_surface_code, get_num_qubits; from pecos.qec import DetectorErrorModel; print(get_num_qubits(9, ancilla_budget=17)); print(hasattr(DetectorErrorModel, 'from_guppy')); make_surface_code(distance=9, num_rounds=18, basis='Z', ancilla_budget=17); print('ok')"
+```
+
+Expected output includes:
+
+```text
+98
+True
+ok
+```
+
+In the downstream `surface-memory-helios` repo, this smoke test currently
+generates a constrained d=9 traced DEM:
+
+```bash
+uv run python -c "from surface_memory_helios import surface_memory_dem; dem = surface_memory_dem(distance=9, rounds=18, basis='Z', p=0.01, decoder='pymatching', dem_source='traced_qis', ancilla_budget=17); print(len(dem.splitlines())); print(dem.splitlines()[0])"
+```
+
+The latest local run produced 37,066 DEM lines and a detector metadata first
+line.
+
+## Follow-Up Guidance
+
+- Prefer the generic `from_guppy(...)` abstraction for future DEM construction
+  rather than adding more surface-specific tracing plumbing.
+- Keep the surface helper path compatible with constrained ancilla budgets:
+  pass `ancilla_budget` into both `make_surface_code(...)` and
+  `get_num_qubits(...)` when tracing surface Guppy.
+- Avoid reintroducing any `circuit_source="traced_qis"` rejection for
+  `ancilla_budget`; constrained Guppy programs are valid and traceable.
+- Ensure PyMatching users can get decomposed DEM text from the `from_guppy(...)`
+  result, e.g. via `to_string_decomposed()`.
+- Keep or add regression coverage for constrained d=9, `ancilla_budget=17`
+  through the Guppy/from_guppy route.

 - Prefer the generic `from_guppy(...)` abstraction for future DEM construction
   rather than adding more surface-specific tracing plumbing.
+- Runtime plugins are intentionally generic: pass a Selene runtime plugin object
+  through `pecos.selene_engine(runtime)` or the higher-level
+  `runtime=...` arguments on traced Guppy/DEM helpers. Anduril should live in
+  downstream experiment projects, not as a PECOS dependency.
+- Runtime-produced `Idle` gates are preserved in the QIS operation trace and
+  replayed into QEC circuits as `TimeUnits` with the convention
+  `1 TimeUnit = 1 ns`. They only affect DEMs when an idle-noise parameter such
+  as `p_idle`, `t1/t2`, `p_idle_linear_rate`, or `p_idle_quadratic_rate` is set.
 - Keep the surface helper path compatible with constrained ancilla budgets:
   pass `ancilla_budget` into both `make_surface_code(...)` and
   `get_num_qubits(...)` when tracing surface Guppy.

+### Shared vs Static LLVM
+
+PECOS enables inkwell's `llvm21-1-prefer-dynamic` feature. That means Rust
+builds use `libLLVM-21.so` / `libLLVM.dylib` when `llvm-config --link-shared`
+can provide it. The managed installer rejects static LLVM because the normal
+development test path links many LLVM-using test binaries.
+
+System package manager installs usually provide shared LLVM. On Debian/Ubuntu
+compatible Linux distributions, the managed installer uses the apt.llvm.org
+LLVM 21 packages locally under `~/.pecos/deps/llvm-21.1/`, without installing
+system packages.
+
+When LLVM is shared, PECOS CLI commands add LLVM's `libdir` to the runtime
+library path for child Cargo commands. That lets locally configured shared LLVM
+installs work without editing your shell startup files.
+
 ### Detection Priority
 
-The `pecos llvm` tooling searches for LLVM 14 in this order:
+Build commands that need to match Cargo's behavior first honor
+`.cargo/config.toml` if it sets `LLVM_SYS_211_PREFIX`, then fall back to the

-//! subgraphs of a transversal-gate DEM are always graphlike — even when

+//! This decodes a *logical operator's subgraph of the DEM* — not the full DEM.
+//! In the Heisenberg picture a detector error model records how errors meet
+//! evolving operators: stabilizers evolve into **detectors**, logical operators
+//! evolve into **observables**. This decoder groups detectors by their
+//! stabilizer (X/Z, per qubit) and restricts the DEM to one logical operator at
+//! a time — the errors that can flip it. Each logical operator is effectively
+//! its own channel through the circuit (e.g. a transversal CX propagates
+//! `XI → XX`, `IZ → ZZ`), so the per-operator problems decouple.
+//!
+//! The payoff (proved independently by Serra-Peralta et al. arXiv:2505.13599
+//! and Cain et al. arXiv:2505.13587): restricted to one logical operator, the
+//! subgraph is always graphlike — only 1-2 detector edges, matchable — even
+//! when the full DEM contains weight-3+ hyperedges. So any MWPM-style decoder
+//! handles each piece, and the results combine.

+"""Differential test: PECOS LogicalSubgraphDecoder observing-region selection
+vs the reference algorithm shipped by lomatching.
+
+PECOS's `coordinate_membership_from_dem` (exposed via
+`LogicalSubgraphDecoder.observing_regions`) is the same boundary-edge +
+stabilizer-coordinate vertex selection that lomatching ships for its MWPM
+subgraphs (Serra-Peralta et al., arXiv:2505.13599). The papers justify the
+construction via Clifford back-propagation, but the shipping decoder uses this
+coordinate path -- so PECOS should agree with it detector-for-detector.
+
+The oracle below is a faithful port of
+``lomatching.util.get_detector_indices_for_subgraphs``
+(``~/Repos/lomatching/lomatching/util.py:255-353``), depending only on stim so
+the full lomatching decoder stack (numba/galois/ldpc/pymatching) is not required.

+"""Compare observing-region constructions for the logical-subgraph decoder.
+
+The decoder's accuracy depends on which detectors land in each observable's
+subgraph. Two constructions:
+
+- **coordinate group-fill** (the shipping path, == lomatching's
+  ``get_detector_indices_for_subgraphs``): boundary edges seed
+  ``(qubit, stab_type, time)`` groups, then ALL detectors of those groups are
+  included.
+- **back-propagation / co-flipped** (the papers' derivation, arXiv:2505.13587):
+  detectors that share a fault with the observable -- i.e. lie in its
+  detecting region. Computed here directly from the DEM ``L`` targets.
+
+`LogicalSubgraphDecoder.from_membership` lets both feed the same decoder, so we
+can compare. Finding (recorded in
+``pecos-docs/design/logical-subgraph-backprop-region-builder.md``): the raw
+back-prop set decodes much WORSE despite being larger, because it lacks the
+group-fill structure that makes each subgraph cleanly matchable.

Subject: [PATCH 046/388] Fix UF predecoder to fall through for
 non-provably-optimal isolated/pair defects so it suppresses with distance,
 revert LogicalSubgraphDecoder default inner to pecos_uf:bp, add
 decode_each/_UfDebug diagnostics and windowed pin test

+def test_windowed_logical_subgraph_does_not_suppress():
+    """KNOWN BUG (separately tracked): the windowed logical-subgraph decoder
+    does NOT achieve distance suppression -- it ANTI-suppresses (LER grows with
+    d) and is ~40-100x worse than the non-windowed decoder on the same DEM and
+    same exact-MWPM inner.
+
+    Root cause is a windowing-correctness bug, not the inner decoder: each window
+    independently decodes and XORs its *full-window* observable correction, with
+    NO core-commit (the ``_is_core`` field in windowed.rs is computed but never
+    used) and no handling for error chains that cross a window boundary. A
+    measurement-error chain spanning a boundary becomes two separate boundary
+    defects -- each window pairs it to its own boundary and spuriously flips the
+    observable. Overlap (``buffer>0``) makes it worse, not better, because
+    overlap-region corrections are XORed twice.
+
+    The proper fix is a sliding-window core-commit scheme (decode with buffer
+    context, commit only core-region corrections), plus the time-like-snake
+    handling from arXiv:2505.13599 (synchronized resets / shortcut edges). Until
+    then, use the non-windowed ``LogicalSubgraphDecoder``. This pins the bug;
+    when windowing is fixed (windowed LER suppresses with d), this assertion
+    flips and the test should be updated.
+    See pecos-docs/design/logical-subgraph-backprop-region-builder.md."""
+    p, n, rounds, step = 0.001, 80000, 24, 4
+    ler_d3, nwin = _windowed_mem_ler(3, rounds, p, n, seed=1, step=step, buffer=0)
+    ler_d5, _ = _windowed_mem_ler(5, rounds, p, n, seed=1, step=step, buffer=0)
+    # Sanity: the circuit is deep enough to actually exercise windowing.
+    assert nwin > 1, f"probe degenerated to a single window (nwin={nwin})"
+    # Currently windowing does NOT suppress: d=5 is no better than d=3 (in fact
+    # worse). When this flips, the windowed path has been fixed.
+    assert ler_d5 >= ler_d3 * 0.7, (
+        f"windowed logical-subgraph now suppresses (d3={ler_d3:.5f} "
+        f"d5={ler_d5:.5f}) -- windowing bug appears fixed; update this test."

+//! Windowed logical-subgraph decoder with correct sliding-window core-commit.
+//!
+//! The logical-subgraph decoder partitions a DEM per logical observable and
+//! decodes each observable's subgraph independently (the coordinate observing
+//! regions of Serra-Peralta et al., arXiv:2505.13599 / the `lomatching`
+//! package). For deep circuits an observing region would span the whole circuit,
+//! so we additionally window each subgraph in time.
+//!
+//! **Nesting: subgraph -> window.** Each per-observable subgraph is a clean
+//! graphlike matching graph, so we wrap it in an
+//! [`OverlappingWindowedDecoder`], which performs proper sliding-window
+//! decoding: every window is decoded with a buffer for matching context, but
+//! only correction edges whose BOTH endpoints lie in the window core are
+//! committed (Tan et al., arXiv:2209.09219). The per-observable committed
+//! observable flips are XORed.
+//!
+//! An earlier implementation windowed the full DEM first and then ran a subgraph
+//! decoder per window, combining by a naive full-window observable XOR with no
+//! core-commit. That double-counted error chains crossing a window boundary and
+//! *anti-suppressed* (LER grew with code distance). The correct nesting here
+//! reuses the tested core-commit machinery instead.

+//! Coord-preserving per-observable subgraph/window plan with honest
+//! windowing-mode introspection.
+//!
+//! Both windowed logical-subgraph decoders (the standalone
+//! `WindowedLogicalSubgraphDecoder` in `pecos-uf-decoder`, and the streaming
+//! `WindowedLogicalSubgraphStrategy` here) need the same inputs: per-observable
+//! graphlike sub-DEMs that PRESERVE detector coordinates (so time-based
+//! windowing has real times), the local↔global detector maps, and -- crucially
+//! -- a way to report whether real time-windowing will actually happen or the
+//! decode silently degenerates to a single full window.
+//!
+//! Subgraph matching graphs drop detector coordinates
+//! ([`crate::logical_subgraph::subgraphs_from_membership`] sets
+//! `detector_coords: Vec::new()`), so a sub-DEM serialized from the graph alone
+//! has no `detector(...)` lines; any windowed inner then sees `total_t = 1` and
+//! builds a single window. This plan injects the full-DEM coordinates (mapped to
+//! subgraph-local indices) and exposes the resulting window structure, so
+//! callers can FAIL LOUD instead of silently full-decoding behind a
+//! bounded-latency API.
+//!
+//! This lives in `pecos-decoder-core` as shared data/modeling so both the
+//! downstream UF decoder and the logical-circuit strategy consume one plan
+//! (avoiding a `decoder-core -> pecos-uf-decoder` dependency).

+"""Honest windowing-mode reporting for the logical-circuit decoder (Layer 0).
+
+The windowed-budget path used to silently perform a single-window full decode
+(the per-observable sub-DEMs were serialized without detector coordinates, so the
+inner windowed decoder degenerated to one window) while the API advertised a
+bounded-latency budget. This pins that the effective mode is now surfaced
+explicitly: ``effective_windowing`` / ``actual_num_windows`` are introspectable,
+``can_window`` distinguishes "real windowing is possible" from "real windowing is
+enabled", and a ``strict`` request hard-errors instead of silently falling back.
+
+See pecos-docs/design/windowed-logical-subgraph-proper-solution.md.

 **Windows:**
 
-- Native Windows LLVM is static-only for PECOS's purposes
-- Use WSL2/Linux for the full HUGR test lane
-- For targeted static LLVM builds, configure a full development package with `pecos llvm configure C:\path\to\llvm`
+- The official LLVM installer is not sufficient for PECOS development builds
+- Use `scripts\ci\install-llvm-21-windows.ps1` for the conda-forge LLVM 21.1 toolchain
+- Configure `~\.pecos\deps\llvm-21.1\Library`, not the conda environment root
 
 ### Security
 
-All downloaded LLVM packages are verified with SHA256 checksums to ensure integrity.
+Linux managed packages are checked against apt metadata hashes. Windows helper
+packages are installed by micromamba from conda-forge, using conda package
+metadata and checksums.

Subject: [PATCH 058/388] Address deep review: fix
 WindowedLogicalSubgraphStrategy to flip the global observable bit not the
 list position (real multi-observable bug, + length/>64 guards + tests),
 propagate decode_each errors instead of a sentinel, gate strict on
 can_window, remove dead _UfDebug/decode_full_with_correction surface,
 single-source the windowing label, assert the predecoder positive-weight
 premise, and document window_count as an estimate

Subject: [PATCH 059/388] Second-review hygiene: harden parse_dem_metadata
 (max+1 observable count + reject repeat/shift_detectors), move predecoder
 positive-weight debug_assert to construction, add local <64 assert at the
 standalone windowed shift site, fix XORed clippy doc lint, and clarify
 actual_num_windows doc

Subject: [PATCH 063/388] Fix 3 Codex-review blockers: emit real physical code
 distance in the algorithm descriptor (was a fake sqrt-of-patch-count that
 made can_window/strict dishonest), return DecoderError instead of panicking
 on out-of-range from_membership detector ids, and make all four DEM parsers
 agree on declared-but-unreferenced detectors (max+1); narrow the coordless
 subgraph_dems doc

+"""PROTOTYPE: reliable logical-observable combinations from reset structure.
+
+Port of lomatching's ``get_reliable_observables`` (Serra-Peralta et al.,
+arXiv:2505.13599, "logical observable matching"). A logical observable is
+*fragile* when its back-propagated observing region anticommutes with a reset
+stabilizer -- decoding it directly is unreliable (a weight-2 space-time
+stabilizer flips its decoded outcome without a logical fault). The paper's fix
+is to decode only an **independent generating set of reliable observables** and
+infer fragile ones as products.
+
+This module computes that reliable set: build the anticommutation matrix
+``A[reset, obs]`` (1 iff reset ``reset`` and observable ``obs`` anticommute) and
+take its right null space over GF(2). Each null vector is a combination of raw
+observables that commutes with *every* reset -- i.e. a reliable observable.
+
+Status: prototype / proof-of-concept. Dependency-free (own GF(2) null space, no
+``galois``). The eventual production path would compute the null space via
+pecos-num's GF(2) and feed the reliable set into the logical-subgraph decoder
+front-end. See ``pecos-docs/design/lomatching-paper-additional-learnings.md``.

Subject: [PATCH 066/388] Default LogicalSubgraphDecoder inner to
 fusion_blossom_serial (exact MWPM): measured more accurate AND faster than
 pecos_uf:bp at depth/multi-observable (d=7 transversal-CX 1.9s vs 12.5s, 2-5x
 lower LER), bundled; pecos_uf:bp kept as the native dependency-free option;
 rename test_default_inner_bp_uf_suppresses ->
 test_native_bp_uf_inner_suppresses

+"""Rigorous inner-decoder study for ``LogicalSubgraphDecoder``.
+
+Answers, with statistics that can actually separate the candidates:
+
+* Fault tolerance / distance suppression -- does logical error rate (LER) fall
+  as code distance ``d`` grows below threshold, for each inner decoder?
+* Threshold -- where do the per-distance LER curves cross (so above it more
+  distance hurts)? Estimated per inner.
+* Lowest LER -- at fixed sub-threshold ``p``, which inner wins, and is the gap
+  statistically real (non-overlapping Jeffreys intervals)?
+* Speed -- decoder build cost vs per-shot decode throughput, separated.
+
+Design choices that fix the under-powered earlier spot-check:
+
+* PAIRED comparison: one sampled batch per (family, d, p, seed) is decoded by
+  every inner, so decoder differences are not confounded by sampling noise.
+* Sub-threshold ``p`` chosen so LER is large enough (~1e-3..1e-2) that 1e5 shots
+  yield hundreds of failures -> tight intervals that resolve 2x differences.
+* Multiple seeds for the headline cells (batch-to-batch stability).
+* Jeffreys (Bayesian Beta(k+1/2, n-k+1/2)) intervals -- the project's preferred
+  binomial CI -- computed via scipy as an analysis oracle (never a runtime dep).
+* Build time (decoder construction) separated from decode time (decode_count).
+
+Results are appended as JSON lines to ``results/inner_decoder_study_<phase>.jsonl``
+so a run is resumable and analysable independently (see ``--phase analyze``).

 //!
 //! # Error Decomposition
 //!
-//! When using decomposed DEM output, hyperedge errors (affecting 3+
-//! detectors) are decomposed into combinations of graphlike errors (affecting
-//! 1-2 detectors). This is necessary for MWPM decoders which only work on
-//! graphs, not hypergraphs.
+//! When using decomposed DEM output, PECOS decomposes only through component
+//! structure carried by the original fault source (for example `Y = X ^ Z` or
+//! recorded per-location components for multi-qubit sources). Residual
+//! hyperedges remain hyperedges. Graphlike decoders should consume this output
+//! only after checking that no residual hyperedge components remain; hypergraph
+//! decoders can consume the faithful hypergraph model directly.
 //!
 //! # Comparison with Python Implementation

+# Measurement Crosstalk DEM Semantics
+
+This note records the intended long-term semantics for adding measurement-crosstalk
+sources to PECOS detector error model generation. The goal is to keep simulator
+noise, traced-QIS circuits, raw hypergraph DEMs, and decomposed decoder inputs
+consistent without silently substituting an unrelated scalar noise model.
+
+## Runtime Source Model
+
+The general noise model represents measurement crosstalk with payload gates:
+
+- `MeasCrosstalkLocalPayload` identifies local victim qubits.
+- `MeasCrosstalkGlobalPayload` identifies excluded active measurement qubits; the
+  victims are the live prepared qubits not listed in the payload.
+
+For each candidate victim, the simulator independently samples a crosstalk event
+with the local or global payload probability. When an event occurs, the simulator
+performs a hidden `MZ` on the victim and samples a transition from the configured
+model:
+
+- `0->0` and `1->1` leave the victim unchanged.
+- `0->1` and `1->0` apply `X`.
+- `0->L` and `1->L` leak the victim; with `leak2depolar`, leakage is replaced by
+  an explicit depolarized Pauli/no-op branch in the simulator.
+
+The transition is conditioned on the hidden measurement outcome, so the exact
+channel is not always a fixed Pauli channel independent of circuit state.
+
+## DEM Requirements
+
+A crosstalk DEM implementation should satisfy these constraints:
+
+- Preserve crosstalk as a first-class source family in source metadata.
+- Use the actual payload placement from the traced/lowered circuit.
+- Derive global-payload victims from the live prepared qubit set at that point in
+  the circuit, not from static qubit count alone.
+- For exact mode, replay each hidden-measurement/transition branch against the
+  same detector and observable metadata used by the ideal circuit.
+- Fail loudly if a crosstalk branch changes measurement dependencies in a way that
+  cannot be represented as a detector/observable flip against the ideal record.
+- Keep any Pauli-twirled or averaged treatment explicit and opt-in; it must not be
+  used under a name that implies exact crosstalk DEM support.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. Extend `NoiseConfig` with measurement-crosstalk local/global probabilities,
+   transition weights, and an explicit approximation mode.
+2. Add crosstalk payload source extraction in the circuit-aware DEM path.
+3. Reuse the exact branch replay machinery where possible: compute the ideal
+   measurement parity expressions once, then evaluate branch effects by replaying
+   hidden `MZ` plus the transition action at each payload victim.
+4. Emit raw hypergraph DEM contributions with crosstalk source metadata.
+5. Extend source-level decomposition so graph-like decoder inputs preserve the
+   same crosstalk source identity and fail loudly on irreducible branch effects.
+6. Thread the new options through Python bindings and surface helper APIs.
+7. Keep coverage diagnostics reporting crosstalk as omitted until one of these DEM
+   modes is explicitly enabled and tested.
+
+## Minimal Tests
+
+The first implementation tests should cover:
+
+- Local payload with a single deterministic victim where `0->1` produces the same
+  detector flip as an `X` at that spacetime point.
+- Local payload with `0->0`/`1->1` only, producing no DEM contribution.
+- Global payload victim selection excluding the active measured qubits.
+- `leak2depolar` transition expansion into explicit Pauli/no-op branches.
+- Fail-loud behavior when hidden measurement changes detector dependencies rather
+  than only flipping deterministic parities.

 - Keep any Pauli-twirled or averaged treatment explicit and opt-in; it must not be
   used under a name that implies exact crosstalk DEM support.
 
+## Implemented Mode
+
+`NoiseConfig` now exposes `MeasurementCrosstalkDemMode::ExactDeterministic`
+for the local-payload subset. In this mode the circuit-aware DEM builder:
+
+- Replays the ideal Clifford circuit up to each `MeasCrosstalkLocalPayload`.
+- Synthesizes the hidden `MZ` on the payload victim.
+- Requires that hidden result to be deterministic and state-independent.
+- Emits an `X`-equivalent DEM source with `DirectSourceFamily::MeasurementCrosstalk`
+  for `0->1` or `1->0` transitions.
+- Emits no contribution for implicit `0->0` or `1->1` transitions.
+- Fails loudly if global payloads, leakage transitions, missing circuit context,
+  unsupported pre-payload gates, or nondeterministic hidden outcomes are present.
+
+This mode is intentionally narrow: it is exact for the deterministic local cases
+it accepts, and it rejects cases that still need a branch-level representation.
+
 ## Implementation Plan
 
-1. Extend `NoiseConfig` with measurement-crosstalk local/global probabilities,
-   transition weights, and an explicit approximation mode.
-2. Add crosstalk payload source extraction in the circuit-aware DEM path.
+1. Extend the exact crosstalk DEM path beyond deterministic local bit-flip
+   transitions.
+2. Add global-payload victim selection from the live prepared qubit set.
 3. Reuse the exact branch replay machinery where possible: compute the ideal
    measurement parity expressions once, then evaluate branch effects by replaying
    hidden `MZ` plus the transition action at each payload victim.
-4. Emit raw hypergraph DEM contributions with crosstalk source metadata.
-5. Extend source-level decomposition so graph-like decoder inputs preserve the
+4. Add `leak2depolar` transition expansion into explicit Pauli/no-op branches.
+5. Emit raw hypergraph DEM contributions with crosstalk source metadata.
+6. Extend source-level decomposition so graph-like decoder inputs preserve the
    same crosstalk source identity and fail loudly on irreducible branch effects.
-6. Thread the new options through Python bindings and surface helper APIs.
-7. Keep coverage diagnostics reporting crosstalk as omitted until one of these DEM
-   modes is explicitly enabled and tested.

+# Noise Event Replay and Failure Diagnostics
+
+This note records a future debugging path for understanding logical failures in
+noisy circuit simulations. The goal is to make sampled noise events
+reproducible and inspectable without turning normal simulation runs into large
+trace dumps.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Detector error models tell us how physical error mechanisms can affect
+detectors and observables, but they do not show which stochastic noise events
+actually occurred in a sampled shot. When a decoder reports a logical failure,
+we often want to inspect the concrete sampled events that produced that failure:
+
+- which noise source sampled an event,
+- which ideal gate or payload location it was attached to,
+- which branch was selected,
+- which qubits and measurement results were involved,
+- and whether the resulting syndrome pattern looked decoder-ambiguous.
+
+This is especially useful for local emulator studies where PECOS controls the
+noise sampling. For hardware data, the physical events are not directly known,
+but the same machinery can still be used to compare hardware syndromes against
+failure patterns from calibrated local simulations.
+
+## Decoder-Dependent Failure Selection
+
+"Failed shots only" is a useful logging mode, but it is not intrinsic to the
+simulator. Whether a shot is a logical failure depends on the analysis layer:
+
+- the detector and observable metadata,
+- the DEM used for decoding,
+- the decoder backend,
+- decoder options such as graph-like decomposition or correlated matching, and
+- the logical-failure convention used by the experiment.
+
+For that reason, the simulator should not decide by itself which shots are
+interesting. Instead, the preferred long-term flow is:
+
+1. Run or replay shots with deterministic per-shot seeds.
+2. Decode the resulting detection events in the analysis layer.
+3. Select failed or otherwise interesting shot ids.
+4. Replay only those shot ids with noise-event tracing enabled.
+
+This keeps logging sparse while preserving a clean separation between simulation
+and decoder-specific analysis.
+
+## Per-Shot Reproducibility
+
+The key primitive is deterministic replay from stable seeds. A run should be
+able to derive all randomness from a root seed and a shot identity:
+
+```text
+run_seed
+  -> shot_seed(run_seed, shot_index)
+    -> component_seed(shot_seed, "noise")
+    -> component_seed(shot_seed, "runtime")
+    -> component_seed(shot_seed, "decoder" or analysis-only randomness)
+```
+
+The exact derivation should be explicit, versioned, and independent of worker
+count. Replaying `(program, noise_config, runtime_config, run_seed, shot_index)`
+should reproduce the same sampled noise events even if the original run used a
+different number of workers.
+
+This is more important than logging everything during the first pass. Sparse
+noise logs may be small at low physical error rates, but deterministic replay
+lets us defer expensive diagnostics until we know which shots matter.
+
+## Optional Event Trace Schema
+
+When tracing is enabled, each sampled non-identity noise event should carry
+enough source information to connect it back to the ideal program and DEM source
+metadata. A compact JSONL-style record could contain:
+
+```json
+{
+  "shot": 17,
+  "shot_seed": "0x...",
+  "event_index": 42,
+  "tick": 19,
+  "gate_index": 3,
+  "gate_type": "SZZ",
+  "gate_qubits": [4, 12],
+  "source_family": "TwoQubitGate",
+  "noise_parameter": "p2",
+  "probability": 0.001,
+  "branch": "IX",
+  "random_draw": 0.00042
+}
+```
+
+Some source families need additional payload fields:
+
+- idle events should record duration and the axis-specific rate terms,
+- replacement branches should record whether the ideal gate was omitted,
+- measurement crosstalk should record payload gate type, candidate victim, and
+  transition label,
+- measurement errors should record the measurement result id when available.
+
+Normal runs should default to no trace. Useful opt-in modes include:
+
+- trace every sampled event for small debugging runs,
+- trace the first `N` shots,
+- replay and trace a caller-provided list of shot ids,
+- summarize event counts by source family without writing per-event records.
+
+## Data Volume
+
+Full logs may be acceptable for small studies because physical error events are
+sparse. They can still become large quickly when the number of gates, shots,
+distances, or parameter scans increases. The implementation should therefore
+avoid coupling ordinary simulation output to full event logs.
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- store shot seeds or enough metadata to reconstruct them,
+- store detection events and logical outcomes as usual,
+- write detailed event records only in explicit diagnostic/replay modes,
+- support streaming event records so failed-shot replays do not require keeping
+  all events in memory.
+
+## Implementation Sketch
+
+1. Add a worker-independent per-shot seed derivation API.
+2. Ensure each simulator/noise layer receives deterministic component RNGs
+   derived from the shot seed.
+3. Add an optional `NoiseEventSink` trait or equivalent callback in Rust.
+4. Emit event records only for sampled non-identity branches, with source
+   metadata attached at the noise-model location.
+5. Expose a replay API that accepts explicit shot ids or shot seeds.
+6. Add Python helpers that decode first, select failed shots, then replay those
+   shots with tracing enabled.
+7. Add compact summaries that aggregate event counts by source family, gate
+   type, branch, and qubit region.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- How should runtime-generated events be traced when a runtime has its own RNGs?
+- Should event traces include raw random draws, or only branch outcomes plus the
+  seed needed to reproduce them?
+- Which event identifiers should be stable across circuit recompilation, and
+  which should be explicitly tied to the lowered/traced circuit version?
+- How should traces link back to DEM contribution/source records when one sampled
+  event corresponds to multiple detector/observable effects?

Subject: [PATCH 089/388] Expose subset simulation as a sim_neo sampler builder
 (sampling(subset_simulation(n).score(..).failure(..)) ->
 SimulationResults::subset) and fix pre-existing subset.rs bugs: early-exit
 double counting of threshold conditionals in all four variants and per-sample
 seeding missing the simulator measurement RNG

 ## Quick Start
 
+Subset simulation is a sampling strategy on `sim_neo()`, like
+`monte_carlo()` and `importance_sampling()`. It needs two functions:
+a score (how close is this outcome to failure?) and a failure predicate.
+Both are required; the result arrives in `results.subset` (per-shot
+`outcomes` are empty for subset runs).
+
 ```rust
-use pecos_neo::sampling::subset::{SubsetSimulation, SubsetConfig};
+use pecos_neo::tool::{sim_neo, sparse_stab, subset_simulation};
+
+let results = sim_neo(circuit)
+    .quantum(sparse_stab())   // currently the only supported backend
+    .noise(noise)
+    .sampling(
+        subset_simulation(1000)  // samples per level
+            // Higher score = closer to failure
+            .score(|outcomes| count_syndrome_errors(outcomes) as f64)
+            // What counts as failure?
+            .failure(|outcomes| is_logical_error(outcomes)),
+    )
+    .seed(42)
+    .run();
+
+let subset = results.subset.expect("subset strategy returns an estimate");
+println!("P(failure) = {:.2e}", subset.probability());
+println!("95% CI: {:?}", subset.confidence_interval_95());
+```
+
+Requires a static circuit on the `sparse_stab()` backend; checked at
+`.build()`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```rust
+subset_simulation(1000)             // Samples per level (more = slower but more precise)
+    .score(score_fn)                // Required: distance-to-failure metric
+    .failure(failure_fn)            // Required: rare event predicate
+    .threshold_fraction(0.1)        // Top 10% advance each level
+    .max_levels(20)                 // Safety limit on levels
+    .min_conditional_prob(1e-6)     // Give up below this conditional probability
+```
 
-// Define: what does "closer to failure" mean?
-let score_fn = |outcomes: &MeasurementOutcomes| -> f64 {
-    // Higher score = closer to failure
-    count_syndrome_errors(outcomes) as f64
-};
+## Direct library API
 
-// Define: what counts as failure?
-let is_failure = |outcomes: &MeasurementOutcomes| -> bool {
-    is_logical_error(outcomes)
-};
+For lower-level control (custom noise factories, checkpoint-continuation
+variants like `ProperSubsetSimulation`), use the sampling module directly:
+

+use pecos_neo::sampling::subset::{SubsetSimulation, SubsetConfig};
 
 let config = SubsetConfig::new()

Subject: [PATCH 090/388] Add path_enumeration sampler and importance_sampling
 workers (worker-count invariant via global-shot-index seeds), move remaining
 config panics (override/backend mismatch, adapted/custom config, IS static
 source) to build time, and include exp/ and pecos-rslib-exp in rust-test CI
 path filters

+/// Create a path enumeration strategy covering up to `max_measurements`
+/// random measurement branches.
+///
+/// Instead of sampling, this systematically enumerates the measurement
+/// branches of a (noiseless) Clifford circuit: every random measurement
+/// splits the execution into two equal-probability paths. Each distinct
+/// realized path becomes one entry in `SimulationResults::outcomes`, with
+/// its exact probability in `SimulationResults::weights`
+/// (`2^-{number of random measurements}` along that path; deterministic
+/// measurements do not branch).
+///
+/// If `max_measurements` covers every random measurement in the circuit,
+/// the enumeration is complete and the weights sum to 1. If the circuit
+/// has more random measurements than `max_measurements`, uncovered
+/// branches default to outcome 0 and the weights sum to less than 1.
+///
+/// Requires a static circuit on the `sparse_stab()` backend with no
+/// `.noise()` (noise makes branching stochastic beyond measurements);
+/// checked at `.build()`. The rerun override `Simulation::shots()` has no
+/// effect on enumeration size.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// use pecos_neo::tool::{path_enumeration, sim_neo, sparse_stab};
+/// use pecos_neo::prelude::*;
+///

 //! Shot results and data structures for quantum program execution.
 //!
-//! This module provides comprehensive data structures for storing and manipulating
-//! the results of quantum program executions. It includes:
-//!
-//! - **Data Types**: The `Data` enum for flexible value storage
-//! - **Single Results**: The `Shot` struct for individual execution results
-//! - **Collections**: The `ShotVec` struct for multiple executions
-//! - **Columnar Analysis**: The `ShotMap` struct for efficient analysis
-//! - **Formatting**: Display and export utilities
-//!
-//! # Design Philosophy
-//!
-//! The module is designed around the following principles:
-//! - **Flexibility**: Support for diverse data types and quantum backends
-//! - **Efficiency**: Optimized for common operations like analysis and export
-//! - **Compatibility**: Easy conversion between row-based and columnar formats
-//! - **Extensibility**: JSON support for custom and complex data
-//!
-//! # Main Types
-//!
-//! ## `Data` - Flexible Value Storage
-//! ```
-//! use pecos_engines::shot_results::Data;
-//! use bitvec::prelude::*;
-//!

+# pecos-results
+
+Result types for PECOS quantum program execution: `Shot`, `ShotVec`,
+`ShotMap`, `Data`, and `DataVec`.
+
+These types are the shared result contract between PECOS simulation stacks
+(`pecos-engines`, `pecos-neo`) and their language bindings. They carry named
+registers with flexible values (integers, floats, bit vectors, JSON) in
+row-based (`ShotVec`) or columnar (`ShotMap`) form, with conversions between
+the two and display/export utilities.
+
+This crate is deliberately free of any execution-protocol or simulator
+dependencies so that any producer can emit results in this format.

+//! Shot results and data structures for quantum program execution.
+//!
+//! This module provides comprehensive data structures for storing and manipulating
+//! the results of quantum program executions. It includes:
+//!
+//! - **Data Types**: The `Data` enum for flexible value storage
+//! - **Single Results**: The `Shot` struct for individual execution results
+//! - **Collections**: The `ShotVec` struct for multiple executions
+//! - **Columnar Analysis**: The `ShotMap` struct for efficient analysis
+//! - **Formatting**: Display and export utilities
+//!
+//! # Design Philosophy
+//!
+//! The module is designed around the following principles:
+//! - **Flexibility**: Support for diverse data types and quantum backends
+//! - **Efficiency**: Optimized for common operations like analysis and export
+//! - **Compatibility**: Easy conversion between row-based and columnar formats
+//! - **Extensibility**: JSON support for custom and complex data
+//!
+//! # Main Types
+//!
+//! ## `Data` - Flexible Value Storage
+//! ```
+//! use pecos_results::Data;
+//! use bitvec::prelude::*;
+//!
+//! // Support for various numeric types
+//! let measurement = Data::U32(42);
+//! let phase = Data::F64(3.14159);
+//!
+//! // BitVec for quantum register results
+//! let mut bits = BitVec::<u8, bitvec::order::Lsb0>::new();
+//! bits.push(true);
+//! bits.push(false);
+//! let register = Data::BitVec(bits);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## `Shot` - Single Execution Results
+//! ```
+//! use pecos_results::{Shot, Data};
+//!
+//! let mut shot = Shot::default();
+//! shot.add_register("qubits", 5, 3);  // 3-bit register with value 5
+//! shot.data.insert("error_rate".to_string(), Data::F64(0.001));
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## `ShotVec` - Multiple Executions
+//! ```
+//! use pecos_results::{ShotVec, Shot};
+//!
+//! let mut results = ShotVec::new();
+//! for i in 0..100 {
+//!     let mut shot = Shot::default();
+//!     shot.add_register("measurement", i % 8, 3);
+//!     results.shots.push(shot);
+//! }
+//!
+//! // Convert to JSON for export
+//! let json = results.to_compact_json();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## `ShotMap` - Columnar Analysis
+//! ```
+//! # use pecos_results::{ShotVec, Shot};
+//! # let mut results = ShotVec::new();
+//! # for i in 0..100 {
+//! #     let mut shot = Shot::default();
+//! #     shot.add_register("measurement", i % 8, 3);

+//! # }
+//! // Convert to columnar format for analysis
+//! let shot_map = results.try_as_shot_map().unwrap();
+//!
+//! // Efficient analysis of specific registers
+//! let measurements = shot_map.try_bits_as_u64("measurement").unwrap();

Subject: [PATCH 094/388] Make sim_neo produce Shot/ShotVec:
 CommandSource::shot_results hook lets ClassicalEngineAdapter surface the
 wrapped engine's named registers into SimulationResults::shots (sequential
 and parallel), with to_shot_vec synthesis for static circuits

Subject: [PATCH 095/388] Add sim() routing to the pecos-neo stack via
 .stack(SimStack::Neo) behind a neo cargo feature, rejecting not-yet-mapped
 config with clear errors, with contract tests proving identical ShotVecs
 across stacks for deterministic QASM

Subject: [PATCH 098/388] Map GeneralNoiseModel's simple Pauli subset to the
 neo stack via a simple_probabilities introspection getter, requiring explicit
 zeros for the realistic nonzero defaults (emission 0.5 replaces gates, prep
 leak 0.5, idle 0.001) that the old comparison test's loose tolerance had
 masked

 at -4% to +7% across bell/ghz/feedback/clifford cases) and fix the
 Clifford-angle rotation gap it exposed: neo's runner now executes
 rz/rx/ry/rzz/rxx/ryy at Clifford angles via the same CliffordRotation trait
 engines uses, in both dispatch chains

Subject: [PATCH 102/388] Add V5 surface-code d=3/d=5 LER equivalence test
 across engines/neo stacks with Jeffreys intervals (new pecos-num special
 functions: ln_gamma, betainc, inverse), plus dev-profile opt-level overrides
 for sim-hot crates

+///
+/// Computes the equal-tailed interval of the Beta(k + 1/2, n - k + 1/2)
+/// posterior arising from the Jeffreys prior Beta(1/2, 1/2), following
+/// Brown, Cai & `DasGupta`, "Interval Estimation for a Binomial
+/// Proportion", Statistical Science 16(2), 2001. Per that paper's
+/// standard modification, the lower bound is 0 when `successes == 0` and

+///
+/// # Arguments
+///
+/// * `successes` - Number of observed successes (k)
+/// * `trials` - Number of trials (n), must be nonzero
+/// * `confidence` - Interval mass, e.g. 0.95; must be in (0, 1)

Subject: [PATCH 104/388] Fix full-branch review findings 1-6: propagate
 decode_count_parallel worker/decode errors instead of unwrap_or(chunk.len()),
 count bare 'detector Dk' declarations in all DEM parsers, flip the global
 observable_idx not list position in LogicalSubgraphDecoder, enforce
 non-negative UF edge weights (hard assert + Err on every DEM-text
 constructor), and gate BpUf predecoding on config.predecoder

Subject: [PATCH 106/388] Add stim_spotcheck phase confirming the fusion-vs-bp
 ranking transfers to the production stim-generated DEM (memory p=0.005: d=5
 1.63x disjoint Jeffreys, d=3 tied), closing the study's last DEM-generator
 gap

+are applied, and how generated Guppy measurement records are framed. The

+module / compiled-shot cache layer but NOT in the abstract DEM cache.

+design doc: the abstract circuit (consumer: DEM builder,

+"""Canonical `(round, qubit) -> site_idx` mapping shared by the abstract
+circuit (`circuit_builder.py`) and the Guppy runtime renderer
+(`pecos.guppy.surface`).
+
+Both tracks must agree byte-for-byte on the ordering of twirl-site
+metadata: the abstract circuit's `tracked_pauli` annotations populate
+rows of the `PauliFrameLookup` matrix `M`, and the Guppy program's
+runtime Pauli applications plus per-shot `result()` recordings populate
+the matching mask columns. If the two paths disagree about which
+`(round, qubit)` maps to which row / column, the per-shot XOR
+application silently runs the mask against the wrong tracked-Pauli
+annotations and the decoder sees an incoherent syndrome.
+
+The mapping is currently a simple `site_idx == round_idx` for the
+`between_rounds` schedule (one site between each pair of consecutive
+syndrome rounds, for a total of `num_rounds - 1` sites). The helpers
+below abstract that so a future schedule only needs to update this module.
+
+Encoding contract for the runtime mask (``"bool_array_v1"``):
+
+- One result tag PER twirl site, named via :func:`pauli_mask_round_tag`
+  (`f"{PAULI_MASK_TAG_PREFIX}:round:{round_idx}"`). Each tag is emitted
+  exactly once per shot, so ``ShotVec.to_dict()`` cannot collapse it.
+  (An earlier "shared-tag scalar bool" variant was attempted but
+  unimplementable -- ``ShotVec.to_dict()`` collapses repeated same-tag
+  ``result()`` calls in one shot to the last value, dropping every
+  earlier bit on the floor.)
+- Each per-round tag carries one bool array of length
+  ``2 * num_data`` laid out as
+  ``(qubit_0_lo, qubit_0_hi, qubit_1_lo, qubit_1_hi, ...)``, where
+  ``lo = (m == 1) | (m == 3)`` and ``hi = (m == 2) | (m == 3)`` for a
+  Pauli value ``m in {0=I, 1=X, 2=Y, 3=Z}`` drawn at runtime by the
+  generated Guppy program's inline functional PCG helper and applied as
+  the matching physical Pauli gate at that twirl site. This is the binary encoding
+  of the enumeration code, not the Pauli's symplectic X/Z components.
+- The decoder
+  (:func:`pecos.qec.surface.decode._extract_pauli_masks_from_results`)
+  reads each ``pauli_mask:round:{r}`` tag, packs each ``(lo, hi)`` pair
+  back into the integer Pauli code via ``m = lo + 2 * hi``, and lays
+  the result at column :func:`mask_col_for` in row-major
+  ``(site, qubit)`` order so the output columns match the abstract
+  ``PauliFrameLookup`` byte-for-byte.
+- Side-band result tags emitted by twirl support (`pauli_mask:*`,
+  `frame_mode:*`, `raw:*`) are not detector-bearing measurement tags.
+  They must never contain ``":meas:"`` and must never be exactly
+  ``"final"``; handoff result-provenance code treats only the surface

Subject: [PATCH 118/388] Add scaled Guppy Pauli twirl activation

Add TwirlConfig.twirl_probability for runtime twirl activation, with fixed per-site RNG consumption so same-seed runs remain pairable across activation probabilities. Scaled runs emit explicit pauli_active side-band tags while legacy f=1.0 bundles keep the existing pauli_mask schema.

Normalize twirl_probability out of abstract DEM and lookup caching, include its threshold in the Guppy module cache key, and validate inactive sites cannot record non-identity Pauli codes.

Note: fixed RNG consumption changes exact pre-change same-seed mask streams; same-seed reproducibility within a build is unaffected.

Subject: [PATCH 125/388] Address Fable review: map depolarizing p_meas to a
 state-flipping neo channel (engines injects X pre-measure, propagates as
 2p(1-p) on re-measure), fix 10 mangled error strings and the lying
 empty-source error, narrow subset rare-event claims, route betainc_inv upper
 tail through symmetry with a jeffreys trials guard, document the V5 criterion
 sensitivity

 //! Subset simulation for estimating very rare event probabilities.
 //!
 //! Subset simulation is a multilevel Monte Carlo method that decomposes a rare event
-//! into a sequence of more frequent intermediate events. This allows efficient estimation
-//! of probabilities as low as 1e-10 or smaller.
+//! into a sequence of more frequent intermediate events, reducing the sample count
+//! needed compared to direct Monte Carlo.
+//!
+//! ## Accuracy caveat
+//!
+//! The multi-level resampling in this implementation does not yet condition the
+//! resampled population correctly across levels, which biases estimates upward and
+//! degrades confidence-interval coverage once more than one level engages (measured:
+//! ~+21% bias and ~15% CI coverage at event probabilities near 1e-3). Treat results
+//! that engaged multiple levels as approximate until the estimator overhaul lands;
+//! single-level runs (event probability within reach of `samples_per_level`) behave
+//! like direct Monte Carlo and are unbiased.

Subject: [PATCH 135/388] Address review follow-ups S5/S7/S8/S9 and nits: IS
 reseeds only when seeded (entropy otherwise, matching MC), shots/outcomes
 alignment debug-asserts, Python .classical()+neo rejection, HUGR-arm and
 trace-path typed errors, path_enumeration shift saturation, and make
 PerGatePauliChannel measurement a propagating state flip to match the DEM
 convention

+"""Report CX vs SZZ/SZZdg surface-memory circuit quality metrics.
+
+This script is intentionally descriptive rather than a threshold sweep. It
+counts the gate locations that drive the simple circuit-level noise model and,
+optionally, compares raw PECOS and Stim DEMs for the traced-QIS circuit path.
+
+Example:
+    uv run python examples/surface/szz_circuit_quality_report.py \\
+        --distances 3 5 --bases X Z --interaction-bases cx szz

+"""Compare two surface-sweep JSON artifacts.
+
+This helper is intentionally lightweight: it reads the JSON files emitted by
+``native_dem_threshold_sweep.py`` and prints Markdown tables with matched
+logical-error rates, Wilson binomial intervals, ratios, differences, and
+normal-approximation z-scores. It is useful for comparing CX vs SZZ/SZZdg
+surface-code runs that used the same sweep grid.
+
+Example:
+    python examples/surface/compare_surface_sweep_json.py \\
+        /tmp/pecos-szz-validation/native_cx_d357_r1_5k_results.json \\
+        /tmp/pecos-szz-validation/native_szz_d357_r1_5k_results.json \\

Subject: [PATCH 168/388] Fix inverted threshold selection in
 ProperSubsetSimulation/QecSubsetSimulation: descending-sorted scores must
 take the survivor threshold at index p0*n (keep top p0), not (1-p0)*n (which
 kept the bottom and made each level's conditional ~1-p0 instead of ~p0); add
 a discriminating threshold test plus the previously-missing
 analytical-unbiasedness guard for the multi-level path

Subject: [PATCH 169/388] Make the 64-observable mask limit consistently
 fail-loud: sampler errors on >64 observables (observable_dem_output_mask
 returns Result) instead of silently dropping ids >=64, and the per-shot
 truth-mask helper takes the validated mask

Subject: [PATCH 170/388] Complete the coefficient-of-variation for the
 structurally-correct ProperSubsetSimulation/QecSubsetSimulation: include the
 previously-omitted final failure-fraction term (Codex round-3 finding), via a
 shared independent_levels_cv_squared helper that documents the remaining
 inter-level-correlation approximation as an optimistic lower bound; validate
 the reported CV against the empirical spread across 200 runs (lower-bound
 ~1.8x below empirical, final term proven included)

Subject: [PATCH 171/388] Lock the engines depolarizing-vs-GNM
 measurement-physics distinction (the B1 root cause) on both sides: add a GNM
 meas-twice equivalence cell pinning the record-flip convention (second
 measure = p) to complement the existing depolarizing state-flip cell
 (2p(1-p)), both cross-stack analytic-pinned so a GNM->state-flip mismapping
 fails

Subject: [PATCH 172/388] Make the special.rs assert_close test helper enforce
 its stated RELATIVE tolerance: drop the OR'd absolute fallback that silently
 weakened it to an absolute check for |expected| < 1 (a claimed 1e-12 relative
 became 1e-12 absolute, ~1000x looser at small values); all 17 numerics tests
 still pass under the strict check, so the validation-gate numerics genuinely
 meet their stated accuracy

 crate's moved-code headers to 2026 (matching the project new-files convention
 and the sibling shim), and give the two stacks independent seeds in the
 cross-stack STATISTICAL comparisons (matrix + routing depolarizing) so
 agreement comes from matching conventions, not a shared RNG stream that would
 make the check tautological if streams ever converged; deterministic
 same-seed bit-identical tests left unchanged

+//! Observable flip mask supporting arbitrarily many logical observables.
+//!
+//! Decoders report "which logical observables flipped" as a bitmask (bit `i` =
+//! observable `i`). Historically this was a `u64`, capping observables at 64.
+//! [`ObsMask`] lifts that cap while keeping the common case fast:
+//!
+//! - **<= 64 observables -> one inline word, zero heap allocation** (a
+//!   `SmallVec<[u64; 1]>` keeps the single word on the stack). The per-shot
+//!   decode hot path is unchanged from the old `u64`.
+//! - **> 64 observables -> spills to N words on the heap**, no truncation.
+//!
+//! Word `w` holds observable bits `64*w ..= 64*w + 63` (little-endian). Trailing
+//! zero words are permitted; equality compares the represented bit set, not the
+//! storage, so `ObsMask::from_u64(0)`, `ObsMask::new()`, and a two-word `[5, 0]`
+//! vs one-word `[5]` all compare as expected.

Subject: [PATCH 186/388] Phase 1 step 2c-2: support >64 observables on the
 LogicalSubgraphDecoder decode path -- remove the shared >64 construction
 reject, make the u64/parallel/windowed paths fail loud (not truncate), and
 add a 65-observable wide decode+count test

+//!
+//! The repository's `sim()`-facade examples (`crates/pecos/examples/*.rs`)
+//! exercise a handful of distinct circuits. Most pin an explicit quantum
+//! backend (`.quantum(...)`), which the neo stack deliberately rejects, but the
+//! CIRCUITS themselves are neo-routable. This sweep runs each example-derived
+//! circuit through `sim().stack(...)` on BOTH stacks (auto-backend) and checks
+//! that they agree, covering circuit shapes the curated V1 matrix does not:
+//! a 3-qubit entangling circuit, whole-register `measure q -> c` syntax, and a
+//! purely deterministic program.
+//!
+//! Circuits that only run via `sim_neo` directly, or that need QIS/PHIR/custom
+//! backends, are NOT part of this sweep (they are not facade-routable); the
+//! curated cross-stack physics lives in `neo_equivalence_matrix_test.rs`.

+# guppy-zlup
+
+> **Note:** Zlup is an experimental toy language for exploring quantum programming
+> language design concepts. This toolchain is for research and experimentation.
+
+A compiler toolchain for transforming Guppy quantum programs into Zlup, with
+static analysis based on NASA's Power of 10 coding guidelines.
+
+## Overview
+
+guppy-zlup is a unified tool that:
+
+- **Validates** Guppy programs using guppylang (semantic validation)
+- **Lints** against NASA Power of 10 safety rules (ZLUP001-010)
+- **Emits** intermediate representation (IR) as JSON
+- **Compiles** Guppy source or IR to Zlup source code
+- **Verifies** generated Zlup is syntactically and semantically valid

+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cargo install --path . --features cli
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Validate a Guppy file using guppylang (requires Python)
+guppy-zlup validate program.py
+
+# Check a Guppy file for lint violations
+guppy-zlup check program.py
+
+# Check with JSON output (for CI/tooling)
+guppy-zlup check program.py --format json
+
+# Check with SARIF output (for GitHub Actions)
+guppy-zlup check program.py --format sarif
+
+# Watch mode - re-lint on file changes
+guppy-zlup check program.py --watch
+
+# Emit IR as JSON
+guppy-zlup emit program.py -o program.json
+
+# Compile Guppy source directly to Zlup
+guppy-zlup compile program.py -o program.zlp
+
+# Compile with guppylang validation first
+guppy-zlup compile --validate program.py -o program.zlp
+
+# Or compile from existing IR JSON
+guppy-zlup compile --ir program.json -o program.zlp
+
+# Analyze parallelism opportunities
+guppy-zlup analyze program.py
+
+# Analyze with JSON output
+guppy-zlup analyze program.py --format json
+
+# Compile and analyze in one step
+guppy-zlup compile program.py --analyze
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Given a Guppy program `bell.py`:
+
+```python
+def bell() -> None:
+    q = qubit[2]
+    h(q[0])
+    cx(q[0], q[1])
+    m = measure(q)
+    result("measurements", m)
+```
+
+Run the toolchain:
+
+```bash
+$ guppy-zlup check bell.py
+No issues found.
+All checks passed!
+
+$ guppy-zlup compile bell.py --stdout
+fn bell() -> unit {
+    mut q := qalloc(2);
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    m := mz([2]u1) q;
+    result("measurements", m);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Lint Rules
+
+Based on NASA's Power of 10 coding guidelines for safety-critical systems:
+
+| Rule    | Severity | Description                          |
+|---------|----------|--------------------------------------|
+| ZLUP001 | Error    | Unbounded loops (while True)         |
+| ZLUP002 | Error    | Recursive function calls             |
+| ZLUP003 | Error    | Dynamic memory allocation in loops   |
+| ZLUP004 | Error    | Dynamic dispatch (eval, getattr)     |
+| ZLUP005 | Warning  | Unchecked error-prone operations     |
+| ZLUP006 | Warning  | Missing type annotations             |
+| ZLUP007 | Warning  | Excessive control flow complexity    |
+| ZLUP008 | Warning  | Deep call nesting (>4 levels)        |
+| ZLUP009 | Info     | Missing assertions in large functions|
+| ZLUP010 | Warning  | Global mutable state                 |
+
+### Suppressing Warnings
+
+Use `# noqa` comments to suppress specific warnings:
+
+```python
+x = eval("expression")  # noqa: ZLUP004
+```
+
+## Validation Pipeline
+
+guppy-zlup performs multi-stage validation:
+
+1. **Syntax Check** - Python syntax via rustpython_parser
+2. **Guppylang Validation** - Semantic validation via guppylang (optional, `--validate`)
+3. **Lint Rules** - NASA Power of 10 safety checks (ZLUP001-010)
+4. **IR Validation** - Schema and semantic checks on intermediate representation
+5. **Transform Invariants** - Debug assertions during IR→Zlup transform
+6. **Output Validation** - Generated Zlup is parsed and analyzed by Zlup's semantic analyzer
+
+This ensures both the input Guppy code and output Zlup code are valid.
+

+
+## AST Layers
+
+The toolchain uses multiple AST representations, each serving a specific purpose:
+
+### 1. Python AST (`rustpython_parser::ast`)
+
+The raw AST from parsing Python source code. This is a general-purpose Python
+AST that includes all Python constructs, many of which aren't valid in Guppy.
+
+- **Source**: rustpython-parser crate
+- **Used by**: `linter/lower.rs`, `ir.rs`
+
+### 2. Guppy AST (`linter::ast`)
+
+A clean, Guppy-specific AST that:
+- Represents only constructs valid in Guppy
+- Has first-class support for quantum operations (gates, measurements, qalloc)
+- Isolates the codebase from Python parser API changes
+
+Key types:
+```rust
+pub struct Module { functions: Vec<Function>, ... }
+pub struct Function { name: String, params: Vec<Param>, body: Vec<Stmt>, ... }
+pub enum Stmt { Qalloc, Gate, Measure, For, While, If, ... }
+pub enum Expr { IntLit, Name, BinOp, Call, ... }
+pub enum GateKind { H, X, Y, Z, Cx, Cz, ... }
+```
+
+- **Source**: `src/linter/ast.rs`
+- **Used by**: Lint rules
+
+### 3. Guppy IR (JSON)
+
+A serializable intermediate representation for tool interoperability:
+- Can be consumed by any tool that reads JSON
+- Enables caching of validated programs
+- Allows alternative frontends to target the Zlup backend
+
+See [ir-format.md](./ir-format.md) for the full schema.
+
+- **Source**: `src/ir.rs`
+- **Used by**: `emit` command (output), `compile --ir` command (input)
+
+### 4. Zlup AST (`zlup::ast`)
+
+The target language's AST. This is the canonical representation of Zlup
+programs, used by the Zlup compiler for:
+- Code generation (QASM, PHIR, HUGR)
+- Optimization passes
+- Semantic analysis
+
+- **Source**: `../zlup/src/ast.rs`
+- **Used by**: `compiler/transform.rs`, Zlup pretty printer
+
+## Validation Layers
+
+The toolchain includes multiple validation layers to catch errors early and ensure correctness:
+
+### 1. IR Validation (`ir::validate_ir`)
+
+Validates the intermediate representation before transformation:
+- **Schema validation**: Required fields present for each statement/expression kind
+- **Semantic validation**: Variables defined before use, allocators exist before gate use
+- **Gate arity**: Correct number of targets for each gate type
+- **Operator validation**: Only known operators allowed
+
+```rust
+let result = ir::validate_ir(&ir);
+if !result.is_valid() {
+    // Handle errors
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Transform Invariants
+
+Debug assertions during IR → Zlup transformation:
+- Allocators must be registered before use in gates
+- Variable scope tracking for assignments vs new bindings
+- Consistency between qalloc_sizes and declared_vars
+
+These fire as panics in debug builds, catching internal bugs early.
+
+### 3. Output Validation (`validate_zlup`)
+
+Validates generated Zlup source by:
+- Parsing it back through Zlup's parser
+- Running Zlup's semantic analyzer (permissive mode)
+
+### 4. Round-Trip Validation (`validate_zlup_roundtrip`)
+
+Optional stricter validation:
+- Compares original AST with re-parsed AST
+- Verifies function counts, names, and parameter counts match
+- Catches pretty-printer bugs
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### Why a separate Guppy AST?
+
+1. **Parser isolation** - rustpython-parser API changes don't ripple through
+   the codebase
+2. **Quantum-first** - Gates, measurements, and qalloc are first-class
+   constructs, not function calls
+3. **Linting** - Easier to write lint rules against a clean AST
+
+### Why JSON for the IR?
+
+1. **Tool interop** - Other languages can emit Guppy IR
+2. **Debugging** - Human-readable intermediate format
+3. **Caching** - Save validated IR to disk
+
+### Why use Zlup's pretty printer?
+
+1. **Consistency** - Output matches Zlup's canonical style
+2. **Maintenance** - One formatter to maintain, not two
+3. **Correctness** - Zlup's formatter handles edge cases

+
+## Key Transformations
+
+### Entry Function Returns
+
+In Guppy (following Quantinuum's design), entry/main functions must return `None`.
+Values are emitted to the quantum runtime via explicit `result()` calls:
+
+**Guppy:**
+```python
+def main() -> None:
+    q = qubit[4]
+    h(q[0])
+    cx(q[0], q[1])
+    m = measure(q)
+    result("measurements", m)  # Emit to runtime
+```
+
+**Zlup:**
+```zlup
+fn main() -> unit {
+    mut q := qalloc(4);
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    m := mz([4]u1) q;
+    result("measurements", m);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+This pattern:
+- Entry functions return `None` (Guppy) / `unit` (Zlup)
+- Results are explicitly tagged via `result(tag, value)`
+- The quantum runtime collects all `result()` emissions
+
+## Extending the Toolchain
+
+### Adding a new lint rule
+
+1. Create `src/linter/rules/zlupNNN.rs`
+2. Implement the `LintRule` trait
+3. Register in `src/linter/rules.rs`
+4. Add tests
+
+### Supporting a new Guppy construct
+
+1. Add the construct to `linter::ast`
+2. Update `linter/lower.rs` to convert from Python AST
+3. Update `ir.rs` to serialize/deserialize
+4. Update `compiler/transform.rs` to emit Zlup
+
+### Alternative frontends
+
+Any tool can target guppy-zlup by emitting Guppy IR JSON. See
+[ir-format.md](./ir-format.md) for the schema.

+# Example: Bell State
+
+This example walks through compiling a simple Bell state preparation circuit
+from Guppy to Zlup.
+
+## The Guppy Program
+
+A Bell state is a maximally entangled two-qubit state. Here's the Guppy code:
+
+```python
+# bell.py
+def bell() -> None:
+    """Prepare and measure a Bell state |Φ+⟩ = (|00⟩ + |11⟩) / √2"""
+    q = qubit[2]          # Allocate 2 qubits
+    h(q[0])               # Hadamard on first qubit
+    cx(q[0], q[1])        # CNOT: control=q[0], target=q[1]
+    m = measure(q)        # Measure both qubits
+    result("measurements", m)  # Emit results to runtime
+```
+
+## Step 1: Lint the Code
+
+First, check for any rule violations:
+
+```bash
+$ guppy-zlup check bell.py
+No issues found.
+All checks passed!
+```
+
+The program passes all checks:
+- ✓ No unbounded loops (ZLUP001)
+- ✓ No recursion (ZLUP002)
+- ✓ No dynamic allocation in loops (ZLUP003)
+- ✓ No dynamic dispatch (ZLUP004)
+- ✓ Return type annotated (ZLUP006)
+
+## Step 2: Emit IR
+
+Generate the intermediate representation:
+
+```bash
+$ guppy-zlup emit bell.py -o bell.json
+Wrote IR to bell.json
+```
+
+The generated IR:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "source_file": "bell.py",
+  "functions": [
+    {
+      "name": "bell",
+      "return_type": {"kind": "primitive", "name": "None"},
+      "body": [
+        {
+          "kind": "qalloc",
+          "name": "q",
+          "size": {"kind": "literal", "value": 2}
+        },
+        {
+          "kind": "gate",
+          "gate": "h",
+          "targets": [
+            {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0}}
+          ]
+        },
+        {
+          "kind": "gate",
+          "gate": "cx",
+          "targets": [
+            {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0}},
+            {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 1}}
+          ]
+        },
+        {
+          "kind": "assign",
+          "target": {"kind": "ident", "name": "m"},
+          "value": {
+            "kind": "call",
+            "callee": "measure",
+            "args": [{"kind": "ident", "name": "q"}]
+          }
+        },
+        {
+          "kind": "result",
+          "tag": "measurements",
+          "value": {"kind": "ident", "name": "m"}
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Step 3: Compile to Zlup
+
+Transform the IR to Zlup source code:
+
+```bash
+$ guppy-zlup compile bell.py -o bell.zlp
+```
+
+The generated Zlup code:
+
+```zlup
+fn bell() -> unit {
+    mut q := qalloc(2);
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    m := mz([2]u1) q;
+    result("measurements", m);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Note: Entry/main functions return `unit`. Use explicit `result(tag, value)` calls to emit outputs to the quantum runtime.
+
+## Understanding the Transformation
+
+| Guppy                       | Zlup                       | Notes                        |
+|-----------------------------|----------------------------|------------------------------|
+| `q = qubit[2]`              | `mut q := qalloc(2);`      | Qubit allocation             |
+| `h(q[0])`                   | `h q[0];`                  | Gate as statement            |
+| `cx(q[0], q[1])`            | `cx (q[0], q[1]);`         | Multi-qubit gate             |
+| `m = measure(q)`            | `m := mz([2]u1) q;`        | Measurement with result      |
+| `result("tag", val)`        | `result("tag", val);`      | Emit value to runtime        |
+| `-> None`                   | `-> unit`                  | Entry functions return unit  |
+
+### Measurement Variants
+
+Zlup supports flexible measurement syntax:
+
+```zlup
+// Per-qubit into array (default)
+m := mz([2]u1) q;
+
+// Single qubit
+bit := mz(u1) q[0];
+
+// Pack into custom struct (for QEC syndromes, etc.)
+syndrome := mz(pack Syndrome) [ancilla[0], ancilla[1], ancilla[2]];
+```
+
+## The Quantum Circuit
+
+The Bell state circuit:
+
+```
+q[0] ──H──●──M──
+          │
+q[1] ─────X──M──
+```
+
+1. **H gate** puts q[0] in superposition: |0⟩ → (|0⟩ + |1⟩) / √2

+3. **Measure** collapses to either |00⟩ or |11⟩ with equal probability

+# Example: Grover's Algorithm
+
+This example demonstrates a more complex program with loops: a simplified
+Grover's search iteration.
+
+## The Guppy Program
+
+```python
+# grover.py
+def grover_iteration(q: qubit[4], iterations: int) -> None:
+    """
+    Perform Grover iterations on a 4-qubit register.
+
+    This is a simplified version that applies:

+
+## Linting Results
+
+```bash
+$ guppy-zlup check grover.py
+No issues found.
+All checks passed!
+```
+
+This program passes all checks:
+
+- ✓ **ZLUP001**: The `for` loop is bounded by `iterations` parameter
+- ✓ **ZLUP002**: No recursive calls
+- ✓ **ZLUP003**: No allocations inside the loop
+- ✓ **ZLUP006**: All types annotated
+
+## What Would Fail?
+
+### Unbounded Loop (ZLUP001)
+
+```python
+def bad_grover(q: qubit[4]) -> None:
+    while True:  # ZLUP001: unbounded loop
+        cz(q[0], q[1])
+        if converged():
+            break
+```
+
+**Fix**: Use a bounded loop with maximum iterations.
+
+### Allocation in Loop (ZLUP003)
+
+```python
+def bad_grover(iterations: int) -> None:
+    for i in range(iterations):
+        q = qubit[4]  # ZLUP003: allocation in loop
+        h(q[0])
+```
+
+**Fix**: Allocate qubits outside the loop.
+
+### Missing Types (ZLUP006)
+
+```python
+def bad_grover(q, iterations):  # ZLUP006: missing types
+    for i in range(iterations):
+        h(q[0])
+```
+
+**Fix**: Add type annotations.

+# Parallelism in Zlup: Design Notes
+
+> **Note:** Zlup is an experimental toy language for exploring quantum programming
+> language design. These notes are exploratory design discussions, not specifications
+> for a production system.
+
+This document explores how Zlup's scope-aware allocator tracking could enable
+automatic parallelization of quantum programs.
+
+## Design Philosophy: Parallelism Through Constraints
+
+**Zlup provides parallelism without threads, locks, or explicit parallel syntax.**
+
+But this isn't "implicit" parallelism where the compiler magically figures things out.
+It's **constraint-based** parallelism: the type system explicitly constrains what
+functions can access, and parallelism follows directly from those constraints.
+
+### The Core Principle
+
+> **Expressiveness through constraints, not features.**
+
+Instead of adding `@parallel` annotations or `spawn` keywords, we constrain the
+language so that parallelism is **obvious and verifiable** from the code structure:
+
+| Constraint | What It Enables |
+|------------|-----------------|
+| No allocator param → can't touch qubits | Classical functions are trivially parallel with quantum |
+| Allocators are owned, not aliased | Different names = different qubits = independent |
+| Scopes define lifetimes | Explicit sync points without barrier syntax |
+| Static allocation only | All parallelism decidable at compile time |
+
+This aligns with NASA Power of 10: don't add features to enable analysis—remove
+possibilities until analysis is trivial.
+
+### Why Not Threads or Parallel Annotations?
+
+Threads and `@parallel` annotations solve problems Zlup doesn't have:
+
+| Traditional Problem | Zlup's Constraint-Based Solution |
+|---------------------|----------------------------------|
+| Shared mutable state | Allocators are owned, not shared |
+| Data races | No aliasing - different names = different resources |
+| What can parallelize? | Read the type signature |
+| Where are sync points? | Scope boundaries |
+
+Adding explicit parallelism syntax would:
+
+1. **Duplicate information** already in the type system
+2. **Add complexity** without enabling anything new
+3. **Violate "explicit through constraints"** by adding yet another mechanism
+
+### What the Programmer Writes vs. What Executes
+
+```zlup
+// Programmer writes sequential code:
+h q[0];
+h q[1];
+h q[2];
+cx (q[0], q[1]);
+cx (q[1], q[2]);
+```
+
+```
+// Compiler sees dependency graph:
+[h q[0]] ──────┐
+               ├──► [cx (q[0],q[1])] ──┐
+[h q[1]] ──────┘                       ├──► [cx (q[1],q[2])]
+                                       │
+[h q[2]] ─────────────────────────────►┘
+
+// Execution can parallelize independent operations:
+Layer 1: h q[0], h q[1], h q[2]    (all parallel)
+Layer 2: cx (q[0], q[1])
+Layer 3: cx (q[1], q[2])
+```
+
+No annotations needed. The syntax already contains all the information.
+
+## The Core Insight
+
+Zlup tracks which qubit allocators are accessible in each scope. This information,
+combined with the NASA Power of 10 constraints (no dynamic allocation, bounded loops,
+no recursion), enables powerful static analysis for parallelism detection.
+
+```zlup
+fn example() -> unit {
+    mut q1 := qalloc(2);  // Allocator q1 enters scope
+    mut q2 := qalloc(2);  // Allocator q2 enters scope
+
+    // These blocks operate on disjoint qubit sets
+    {
+        h q1[0];          // Only touches q1
+        cx (q1[0], q1[1]);
+    }
+    {
+        h q2[0];          // Only touches q2
+        cx (q2[0], q2[1]);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The compiler knows statically that these two blocks are independent and can execute
+in parallel on hardware that supports it.
+
+## Dependency Analysis
+
+### What the Compiler Knows
+
+At compile time, Zlup has complete information about:
+
+1. **Allocator lifetimes** - When each allocator enters and exits scope
+2. **Allocator sizes** - Fixed at allocation time (no dynamic sizing)
+3. **Operation targets** - Which allocator(s) each gate/measurement touches
+4. **Control flow structure** - Bounded loops, no recursion
+
+This enables construction of a precise **operation dependency graph**.
+
+### Dependency Rules
+
+Two operations are **independent** (parallelizable) if:
+
+1. They operate on disjoint qubit sets, AND
+2. Neither reads a classical variable written by the other, AND
+3. No control flow dependency exists between them
+
+Two operations are **dependent** (must be ordered) if:
+
+1. They share at least one qubit target (read-after-write, write-after-write), OR
+2. One reads a classical variable written by the other (data dependency), OR
+3. One is control-dependent on the other (branch/loop)
+
+### Example: Building the Dependency Graph
+
+```zlup
+fn grover_iteration(mut q: [4]qubit) -> unit {
+    // Operation 1: Oracle (all qubits)
+    oracle q;
+
+    // Operation 2-5: Diffusion operator
+    h q[0]; h q[1]; h q[2]; h q[3];  // Ops 2,3,4,5 - independent of each other
+
+    x q[0]; x q[1]; x q[2]; x q[3];  // Ops 6,7,8,9 - independent of each other
+
+    // Multi-controlled Z
+    mcz q;                            // Op 10 - depends on 6,7,8,9
+
+    x q[0]; x q[1]; x q[2]; x q[3];  // Ops 11,12,13,14
+    h q[0]; h q[1]; h q[2]; h q[3];  // Ops 15,16,17,18
+}
+```
+
+Dependency graph (simplified):
+```
+    [1:oracle]
+        |
+   +----+----+----+
+   v    v    v    v
+ [2:h] [3:h] [4:h] [5:h]   <- Parallel layer
+   |    |    |    |
+   v    v    v    v
+ [6:x] [7:x] [8:x] [9:x]   <- Parallel layer
+   |    |    |    |
+   +----+----+----+
+        v
+    [10:mcz]
+        |
+   ... (continues)
+```
+
+## Levels of Parallelism
+
+### 1. Gate-Level Parallelism
+
+Gates on independent qubits within the same allocator can execute simultaneously:
+
+```zlup
+mut q := qalloc(4);
+h q[0];  // Can run in parallel with...
+h q[1];  // ...this gate
+h q[2];  // ...and this one
+h q[3];  // ...and this one
+```
+
+This is the finest granularity. Most quantum hardware naturally supports this.
+
+### 2. Block-Level Parallelism
+
+Independent code blocks operating on disjoint allocators:
+
+```zlup
+mut ancilla := qalloc(2);
+mut data := qalloc(4);
+
+// These blocks could execute on different QPU regions
+{
+    // Prepare ancilla
+    h ancilla[0];
+    cx (ancilla[0], ancilla[1]);
+}
+{
+    // Prepare data register (independent)
+    for i in 0..4 {
+        h data[i];
+    }
+}
+// Sync point: both blocks must complete before continuing
+```
+
+### Scopes as Implicit Barriers
+
+Scopes naturally provide synchronization points when you need them:
+
+```zlup
+{
+    // Region 1: everything here completes...
+    h q1[0];
+    cx (q1[0], q1[1]);
+}
+// ...before this point
+{
+    // Region 2: can depend on Region 1's results
+    if some_classical_result {
+        ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+But if you *don't* want a barrier, just don't use a scope:
+
+```zlup
+h q1[0];
+h q2[0];
+// No barrier - compiler free to interleave
+cx (q1[0], q1[1]);
+cx (q2[0], q2[1]);
+// q1 and q2 operations form independent chains
+```
+
+This gives programmers control over synchronization *when they need it*, without
+requiring explicit barrier syntax for the common case (maximum parallelism).
+
+### 3. Classical-Quantum Parallelism
+
+Classical computation can proceed while quantum operations execute, as long as
+no data dependencies exist:
+
+```zlup
+mut q := qalloc(4);
+classical_prep := expensive_classical_computation();  // Could overlap with qalloc
+
+h q[0];
+cx (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Measurement creates a sync point
+m := mz([4]u1) q;
+
+// Classical post-processing can start immediately
+processed := process_results(m);
+```
+
+### 4. Inter-Function Parallelism
+
+With whole-program analysis, independent function calls could parallelize:
+
+```zlup
+fn main() -> unit {
+    mut q1 := qalloc(2);
+    mut q2 := qalloc(2);
+
+    // These function calls are independent
+    prepare_bell(q1);   // Only touches q1
+    prepare_ghz(q2);    // Only touches q2
+}
+```
+
+## Measurements and Sync Points
+
+Measurements introduce **implicit synchronization** because:
+
+1. The quantum state must be fully evolved before measurement
+2. Classical variables holding results must be available before use
+
+```zlup
+mut q := qalloc(2);
+h q[0];
+cx (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// SYNC POINT: All operations on q must complete
+m := mz([2]u1) q;
+
+// Classical code can now use m
+if m[0] == 1 {
+    // Conditional logic based on measurement
+}
+```
+
+### Mid-Circuit Measurement Considerations
+
+Mid-circuit measurement creates **partial sync points**:
+
+```zlup
+mut q := qalloc(4);
+h q[0]; h q[1]; h q[2]; h q[3];
+
+// Only q[0] needs to sync here
+m0 := mz([1]u1) q[0..1];
+
+// These can continue in parallel with processing m0
+h q[1]; h q[2]; h q[3];
+
+// Classical processing of m0 can happen concurrently
+if m0[0] == 1 {
+    // This branch doesn't touch q[1..4]
+    log("measured 1");
+}
+```
+
+## QEC and Classical Processing
+
+Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is a critical use case that stress-tests the ownership
+model. QEC involves tight classical-quantum interaction with real-time constraints.
+
+### The QEC Data Flow
+
+```zlup
+fn qec_round(mut data: [n]qubit, mut ancilla: [m]qubit) -> unit {
+    // 1. Syndrome extraction (quantum operations)
+    extract_stabilizers(data, ancilla);
+
+    // 2. Measure ancilla → classical syndrome
+    syndrome := mz([m]u1) ancilla;
+
+    // 3. Decode (pure classical computation)
+    corrections := decode(syndrome);
+
+    // 4. Apply corrections (quantum operations)
+    apply_corrections(data, corrections);
+
+    // 5. Reset ancilla for next round
+    reset ancilla;
+}
+```
+
+### What Works Well
+
+The ownership model handles QEC's core patterns naturally:
+
+| QEC Pattern | How Ownership Helps |
+|-------------|---------------------|
+| Syndrome arrays | Values after measurement - no aliasing, pass freely |
+| Decoder parallelism | Pure functions on values - multiple decoders can run in parallel |
+| Clear data flow | Explicit: qubits → measurement → classical → corrections → qubits |
+| No race conditions | Syndrome is a value, not shared mutable state |
+
+```zlup
+// Parallel decoders work naturally - syndrome is a value
+fn fault_tolerant_decode(syndrome: [m]u1) -> Corrections {
+    c1 := decoder_mwpm(syndrome);   // These three calls
+    c2 := decoder_uf(syndrome);     // are independent
+    c3 := decoder_nn(syndrome);     // (same input value)
+    return vote(c1, c2, c3);
+}
+```
+
+### Challenging Patterns
+
+Some QEC patterns require more thought:
+
+#### Syndrome History (Sliding Window Decoders)
+
+MWPM, Union-Find, and other decoders often need multiple rounds of syndrome data:
+
+```zlup
+// Option A: Pass history as a value (copied)
+fn decode_with_history(
+    current: [m]u1,
+    history: [[m]u1; k]  // Copied - potentially expensive
+) -> Corrections { ... }
+
+// Option B: Borrow history (reference)
+fn decode_with_history(
+    current: [m]u1,
+    history: &[[m]u1; k]  // Borrowed - no copy, but adds reference semantics
+) -> Corrections { ... }
+
+// Option C: Decoder owns accumulating state
+struct Decoder {
+    history: [[m]u1; k],
+    // ... decoder state
+}
+fn decode(self: &mut Decoder, current: [m]u1) -> Corrections {
+    self.history.push(current);
+    // ... decode using history
+}
+```
+
+#### Pipelined QEC
+
+Real QEC systems pipeline: decode round N while extracting round N+1.
+
+```zlup
+fn pipelined_qec(mut data: [n]qubit, mut ancilla: [m]qubit) {
+    syndrome_prev := extract_and_measure(data, ancilla);
+
+    for round in 1..num_rounds {
+        // GOAL: These should overlap:
+        // - decode(syndrome_prev)     → pure classical
+        // - extract_stabilizers(...)  → quantum on ancilla
+
+        // But in sequential code, how does the compiler know?
+        extract_stabilizers(data, ancilla);       // Quantum
+        corrections := decode(syndrome_prev);      // Classical
+        syndrome_curr := mz([m]u1) ancilla;
+        apply_corrections(data, corrections);
+        syndrome_prev = syndrome_curr;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Approaches to Classical-Quantum Overlap
+
+Three approaches for expressing that classical and quantum operations can overlap:
+
+#### Approach A: Implicit Inference
+
+The compiler analyzes data flow and infers what can overlap.
+
+**Problem:** This is implicit, not explicit. The programmer writes code without knowing
+what will parallelize. This conflicts with Zlup's "explicit over implicit" philosophy.
+
+#### Approach B: Explicit Annotations
+
+Add syntax like `@parallel` or `overlap { }` blocks.
+
+**Problem:** This adds complexity. The programmer must learn new syntax and manually
+annotate parallelism that the type system already expresses.
+
+#### Approach C: Structural Separation
+
+Separate classical and quantum into distinct "lanes" with explicit channels.
+
+**Problem:** Major language addition. Overkill for simple cases. Introduces concurrency
+primitives (channels, send/recv) that we're trying to avoid.
+
+### Our Recommendation: Constraint-Based (No New Syntax)
+
+None of the above. Instead, recognize that **the type system already expresses parallelism**.
+
+The key insight, aligned with NASA Power of 10 Rule 6 (minimize scope):
+
+> **If a function doesn't take allocator parameters, it cannot touch qubits.**
+> This is explicit, enforced by the compiler, and requires no annotation.
+
+```zlup
+// EXPLICIT: "I take classical values, I return classical values, I cannot touch qubits"
+fn decode(syndrome: [m]u1) -> Corrections { ... }
+
+// EXPLICIT: "I require mutable qubit access"
+fn extract_stabilizers(mut data: [n]qubit, mut ancilla: [m]qubit) -> unit { ... }
+```
+
+The function signature IS the parallelism declaration:
+
+| Signature | What It Says | Parallelizable With |
+|-----------|--------------|---------------------|
+| `fn f(x: int) -> int` | Pure classical | Any quantum op |
+| `fn f(syndrome: [m]u1) -> Corrections` | Classical only | Any quantum op |
+| `fn f(mut q: [n]qubit) -> unit` | Needs qubit access | Only disjoint allocators |
+| `fn f(mut q1: [n]qubit, mut q2: [m]qubit)` | Needs both | Nothing touching q1 or q2 |
+
+This is:
+- **Explicit**: The constraint is visible in the type signature
+- **Simple**: No new syntax, no annotations
+- **Constraint-based**: Expressiveness through what you CAN'T do
+
+### Why This Aligns with NASA Power of 10
+
+| Power of 10 Rule | How It Applies |

+| Rule 3: No dynamic allocation | Allocators are static → known at compile time |
+| Rule 6: Minimize scope | Narrow allocator scope → clear parallelism boundaries |
+| Rule 9: Limit pointer use | No aliasing → if `q1` and `q2` are different names, they're different allocators |
+
+The Power of 10 philosophy: **Don't add features to enable analysis. Remove possibilities until analysis is trivial.**
+
+We don't add `@parallel`. We constrain functions so parallelism is obvious:
+- No allocator param? Can't touch qubits. Done.
+- Different allocator params? Different qubits. Done.
+
+### Scopes as Explicit Sync Points
+
+If you need ordering, use a scope:
+
+```zlup
+{
+    // Everything in this scope completes...
+    extract_stabilizers(data, ancilla);
+    syndrome := mz([m]u1) ancilla;
+}
+// ...before this point
+
+corrections := decode(syndrome);  // Can overlap with next scope
+
+{
+    apply_corrections(data, corrections);
+}
+```
+
+Scopes are explicit barriers. No scope = no enforced ordering. This is already in the language.
+
+### Why This Works for QEC
+
+The constraint-based model is perfect for QEC because:
+
+1. **Decoders are pure classical by construction**
+
+```zlup
+fn decode(syndrome: [m]u1) -> Corrections {
+    // No allocator parameters → CANNOT touch qubits
+    // This isn't a promise - it's enforced by the type system
+}
+```
+
+2. **The classical/quantum boundary is explicit and verified**
+
+```zlup
+fn qec_round(mut data: [n]qubit, mut ancilla: [m]qubit) -> unit {
+    extract_stabilizers(data, ancilla);  // Signature says: needs qubits
+    syndrome := mz([m]u1) ancilla;       // Measurement: quantum → classical
+    corrections := decode(syndrome);      // Signature says: classical only
+    apply_corrections(data, corrections); // Signature says: needs qubits
+}
+```
+
+3. **Parallelism is obvious from signatures**
+
+Looking at just the types:
+- `decode: [m]u1 -> Corrections` — classical, parallelizable with any quantum
+- `extract_stabilizers: (mut [n]qubit, mut [m]qubit) -> unit` — needs both allocators
+
+No analysis needed. No annotations. The constraints tell you everything.
+
+4. **NASA Power of 10 compliance comes free**
+
+The same constraints that enable parallelism also enforce safety:
+- Static allocators (Rule 3)
+- Minimal scope (Rule 6)
+- No aliasing (Rule 9)
+
+## Realistic QEC Examples
+
+Let's work through concrete QEC scenarios to verify the constraint-based model works.
+
+### Example 1: Repetition Code (Simplest Case)
+
+A 3-qubit repetition code with 2 syndrome qubits:
+
+```zlup
+// Data qubits: |ψ⟩ encoded as |ψψψ⟩
+// Syndrome qubits: measure ZZ stabilizers
+
+fn repetition_round(mut data: [3]qubit, mut syndrome: [2]qubit) -> [2]u1 {
+    // Syndrome extraction: ZZ stabilizers
+    cx (data[0], syndrome[0]);
+    cx (data[1], syndrome[0]);
+    cx (data[1], syndrome[1]);
+    cx (data[2], syndrome[1]);
+
+    // Measure syndrome qubits
+    s := mz([2]u1) syndrome;
+
+    // Reset for next round
+    reset syndrome;
+
+    return s;
+}
+
+// Decoder: pure classical, no allocator params
+fn decode_repetition(s: [2]u1) -> [3]u1 {
+    // Simple majority voting
+    // s[0] = data[0] ⊕ data[1]
+    // s[1] = data[1] ⊕ data[2]
+    mut corrections := [0, 0, 0];
+    if s[0] == 1 && s[1] == 0 {
+        corrections[0] = 1;  // Error on qubit 0
+    } else if s[0] == 1 && s[1] == 1 {
+        corrections[1] = 1;  // Error on qubit 1
+    } else if s[0] == 0 && s[1] == 1 {
+        corrections[2] = 1;  // Error on qubit 2
+    }
+    return corrections;
+}
+
+fn apply_corrections(mut data: [3]qubit, corrections: [3]u1) -> unit {
+    for i in 0..3 {
+        if corrections[i] == 1 {
+            x data[i];
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+fn qec_cycle(mut data: [3]qubit, mut syndrome: [2]qubit) -> unit {
+    s := repetition_round(data, syndrome);  // Quantum: touches data, syndrome
+    corrections := decode_repetition(s);     // Classical: no allocators
+    apply_corrections(data, corrections);    // Quantum: touches data
+}
+```
+
+**Parallelism analysis from signatures:**
+- `repetition_round`: needs `data` and `syndrome` → serialized with anything touching those
+- `decode_repetition`: takes `[2]u1`, returns `[3]u1` → pure classical → can overlap
+- `apply_corrections`: needs `data` → must wait for decode, serialized with data ops
+
+### Example 2: Surface Code Patch
+
+A distance-3 surface code with X and Z stabilizers:
+
+```zlup
+// Surface code layout (distance 3):
+//   D0 -- Z0 -- D1
+//   |           |
+//   X0    D4    X1
+//   |           |
+//   D2 -- Z1 -- D3
+
+struct SurfaceCodePatch {
+    data: [5]qubit,      // 5 data qubits
+    x_ancilla: [2]qubit, // 2 X stabilizer ancillas
+    z_ancilla: [2]qubit, // 2 Z stabilizer ancillas
+}
+
+fn extract_x_stabilizers(
+    mut data: [5]qubit,
+    mut x_ancilla: [2]qubit
+) -> unit {
+    // X0 stabilizer: X on D0, D2, D4
+    h x_ancilla[0];
+    cx (x_ancilla[0], data[0]);
+    cx (x_ancilla[0], data[2]);
+    cx (x_ancilla[0], data[4]);
+    h x_ancilla[0];
+
+    // X1 stabilizer: X on D1, D3, D4
+    h x_ancilla[1];
+    cx (x_ancilla[1], data[1]);
+    cx (x_ancilla[1], data[3]);
+    cx (x_ancilla[1], data[4]);
+    h x_ancilla[1];
+}
+
+fn extract_z_stabilizers(
+    mut data: [5]qubit,
+    mut z_ancilla: [2]qubit
+) -> unit {
+    // Z0 stabilizer: Z on D0, D1, D4
+    cx (data[0], z_ancilla[0]);
+    cx (data[1], z_ancilla[0]);
+    cx (data[4], z_ancilla[0]);
+
+    // Z1 stabilizer: Z on D2, D3, D4
+    cx (data[2], z_ancilla[1]);
+    cx (data[3], z_ancilla[1]);
+    cx (data[4], z_ancilla[1]);
+}
+
+fn surface_code_round(mut patch: SurfaceCodePatch) -> SurfaceSyndrome {
+    // X and Z extraction both need data qubits
+    // But they use different ancilla allocators
+    extract_x_stabilizers(patch.data, patch.x_ancilla);
+    extract_z_stabilizers(patch.data, patch.z_ancilla);
+
+    // Measure all ancillas
+    x_syndrome := mz([2]u1) patch.x_ancilla;
+    z_syndrome := mz([2]u1) patch.z_ancilla;
+
+    reset patch.x_ancilla;
+    reset patch.z_ancilla;
+
+    return SurfaceSyndrome { x: x_syndrome, z: z_syndrome };
+}
+```
+
+**Key observation:** X and Z stabilizer extraction both touch `data`, so they serialize.
+But within each extraction, gates on different ancilla qubits can parallelize.
+
+### Example 3: Pipelined QEC with Decoder
+
+The real challenge: overlapping decode(round N) with extract(round N+1):
+
+```zlup
+fn pipelined_qec(
+    mut data: [5]qubit,
+    mut ancilla: [4]qubit,
+    num_rounds: int
+) -> unit {
+    // First round: no previous syndrome to decode
+    syndrome_prev := extract_and_measure(data, ancilla);
+
+    for round in 1..num_rounds {
+        // KEY INSIGHT: These have different signatures
+        //
+        // extract_and_measure: (mut [5]qubit, mut [4]qubit) -> Syndrome
+        //                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+        //                      needs qubit allocators
+        //
+        // decode: (Syndrome, SyndromeHistory) -> Corrections
+        //         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+        //         pure classical values, NO allocators
+
+        // The compiler sees:
+        // - extract touches {data, ancilla}
+        // - decode touches {} (no allocators)
+        // Therefore: decode can overlap with extract
+
+        {
+            // Scope groups the quantum operations
+            extract_stabilizers(data, ancilla);
+            syndrome_curr := mz([4]u1) ancilla;
+            reset ancilla;
+        }
+
+        // decode runs on previous syndrome - can overlap with scope above
+        corrections := decode_surface(syndrome_prev);
+
+        // apply must wait for both decode AND current extraction
+        apply_corrections(data, corrections);
+
+        syndrome_prev = syndrome_curr;
+    }
+
+    // Final decode and correct
+    corrections := decode_surface(syndrome_prev);
+    apply_corrections(data, corrections);
+}
+```
+
+**The constraint-based parallelism:**
+
+```
+Timeline:
+          Round 1           |        Round 2           |
+  extract(data,ancilla)     |  extract(data,ancilla)   |
+          |                 |          |               |
+          v                 |          v               |
+  syndrome_1                |  syndrome_2              |
+          |                 |          |               |
+          +---- decode(s0) -+          +--- decode(s1) +
+                   |                          |
+                   v                          v
+            corrections_1              corrections_2
+                   |                          |
+          apply(data, c1)             apply(data, c2)
+```
+
+Decode overlaps with extract because their signatures prove they're independent.
+
+### Example 4: Multi-Patch Logical Operations
+
+Multiple surface code patches with independent QEC:
+
+```zlup
+struct LogicalQubit {
+    patch: SurfaceCodePatch,
+    // ... other metadata
+}
+
+fn parallel_qec_rounds(
+    mut logical_qubits: [n]LogicalQubit
+) -> unit {
+    // Each logical qubit has its own allocators
+    // They're completely independent
+
+    for i in 0..n {
+        // These iterations touch disjoint allocators
+        // Compiler can parallelize across logical qubits
+        qec_round(logical_qubits[i].patch);
+    }
+}
+
+fn transversal_cnot(
+    mut control: LogicalQubit,
+    mut target: LogicalQubit
+) -> unit {
+    // Transversal gate: independent physical CNOTs
+    for i in 0..5 {
+        // Each CNOT is on different physical qubits
+        // within the same logical operation
+        cx (control.patch.data[i], target.patch.data[i]);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Parallelism from structure:**
+- Different `LogicalQubit` instances have different allocators → independent
+- Loop iterations on independent allocators → parallelizable
+- Within transversal gate: different qubit indices → parallelizable
+
+### Example 5: Decoder with Syndrome History
+
+Realistic decoders need history. How does ownership handle this?
+
+```zlup
+// Option A: Decoder owns its history (stateful decoder)
+struct MWPMDecoder {
+    history: [[4]u1; window_size],
+    window_pos: int,
+    // ... matching graph, etc.
+}
+
+impl MWPMDecoder {
+    // Decoder is a classical object with classical methods
+    // No allocator params anywhere → all classical
+    fn decode(self: &mut MWPMDecoder, current: [4]u1) -> Corrections {
+        // Add to history
+        self.history[self.window_pos] = current;
+        self.window_pos = (self.window_pos + 1) % window_size;
+
+        // Run MWPM on history window
+        // ... matching algorithm ...
+
+        return corrections;
+    }
+}
+
+fn qec_with_stateful_decoder(
+    mut data: [5]qubit,
+    mut ancilla: [4]qubit,
+    decoder: &mut MWPMDecoder,  // Classical reference, no qubits
+    num_rounds: int
+) -> unit {
+    for round in 0..num_rounds {
+        syndrome := extract_and_measure(data, ancilla);
+
+        // decoder.decode takes classical values only
+        // Signature: (&mut MWPMDecoder, [4]u1) -> Corrections
+        // No qubit allocators → can overlap with quantum
+        corrections := decoder.decode(syndrome);
+
+        apply_corrections(data, corrections);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Key insight:** The decoder struct contains classical data only. Its methods
+take `&mut self` (classical reference) and classical values. No allocator
+parameters → provably doesn't touch qubits → safe to overlap.
+
+### What These Examples Demonstrate
+
+1. **Simple cases work naturally** — repetition code shows basic pattern
+2. **Complex extraction parallelizes** — within stabilizer extraction, independent gates parallelize
+3. **Pipelining works** — decode/extract overlap follows from signatures
+4. **Multi-patch parallelizes** — different logical qubits are independent
+5. **Stateful decoders work** — classical state doesn't affect qubit access
+
+All parallelism follows from reading the type signatures. No annotations needed.
+
+## Compiler Passes for Parallelism
+
+### Pass 1: Allocator Scope Analysis
+
+Build a map of allocator lifetimes and which scopes can access them:
+
+```
+allocator "q1": defined at line 5, scope depth 1, size 4
+  accessible in: main (lines 5-50), helper (lines 20-30)
+allocator "q2": defined at line 10, scope depth 1, size 2
+  accessible in: main (lines 10-50)
+```
+
+### Pass 2: Operation Tagging
+
+Tag each operation with the allocators it touches:
+
+```
+h q1[0]          -> touches: {q1}
+cx (q1[0], q2[0]) -> touches: {q1, q2}
+m := mz q1       -> touches: {q1}, defines: {m}
+```
+
+### Pass 3: Dependency Graph Construction
+
+Build edges between dependent operations:
+
+```rust
+struct DepGraph {
+    nodes: Vec<Operation>,
+    edges: Vec<(OpId, OpId, DepKind)>,  // (from, to, kind)
+}
+
+enum DepKind {
+    QubitDep(String),      // Shared qubit allocator
+    DataDep(String),       // Shared classical variable
+    ControlDep,            // Control flow
+}
+```
+
+### Pass 4: Parallelism Detection
+
+Find maximal independent sets (parallel layers):
+
+```rust
+fn find_parallel_layers(graph: &DepGraph) -> Vec<Vec<OpId>> {
+    // Topological sort with level assignment
+    // Operations at the same level are parallelizable
+}
+```
+
+### Pass 5: Schedule Generation
+
+Generate a schedule respecting dependencies while maximizing parallelism:
+
+```
+Layer 0: [qalloc q1, qalloc q2]
+Layer 1: [h q1[0], h q2[0]]           <- parallel
+Layer 2: [cx (q1[0],q1[1]), cx (q2[0],q2[1])]  <- parallel
+Layer 3: [mz q1]                       <- sync point for q1
+Layer 4: [mz q2, classical_op(m1)]    <- q2 measure + classical parallel
+```
+
+## Hardware Considerations
+
+### CAN vs SHOULD Parallelize
+
+The constraint-based model tells us what **CAN** parallelize. But hardware
+constraints determine what **SHOULD** parallelize.
+
+```
+Constraints (language level):     Scheduling (compiler level):
+─────────────────────────────     ────────────────────────────
+"These operations are             "Given hardware limits,
+ independent"                      what's the best schedule?"
+     │                                      │
+     ▼                                      ▼
+Type signatures                   Architecture + Noise model
+Allocator ownership               Control system parallelism
+Scope boundaries                  Decoherence times
+```
+
+The language expresses independence. The compiler decides how to exploit it.
+
+### Limited Parallel Control
+
+Some hardware architectures have constrained parallelism due to:
+
+- Limited control resources (only N operations simultaneously)
+- Shared control channels across qubit subsets
+- Control electronics bottlenecks
+
+In these cases, **serializing a QEC gadget may be better** than spreading
+resources across parallel operations:
+
+```
+Option A: Parallelize across patches (spread resources)
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+Patch 1: ░░░ extract ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
+Patch 2: ░░░ extract ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
+         ^^^
+         Shared control resources → both run slow
+
+Option B: Serialize patches (concentrate resources)
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+Patch 1: ▓▓ extract ▓▓
+Patch 2:              ▓▓ extract ▓▓
+                      ^^^
+                      Full resources → each runs fast
+```
+
+For QEC with decoherence pressure, Option B may win: finish each syndrome
+extraction quickly rather than have both running slowly.
+
+### What the Language Expresses vs What the Compiler Decides
+
+| Concern | Language (Constraints) | Compiler (Scheduling) |
+|---------|------------------------|----------------------|
+| Independence | Type signatures | — |
+| Ordering requirements | Scope boundaries | — |
+| Hardware parallelism limits | — | Architecture model |
+| Decoherence optimization | — | Noise model |
+| Resource allocation | — | Control system model |
+
+The language should express **what's possible**. The compiler should decide
+**what's optimal** given the target hardware.
+
+### Philosophy: Start Simple, Add Knobs If Needed
+
+Our approach:
+
+1. **Language stays simple** — constraints express independence, nothing more
+2. **Compiler has architecture knowledge** — scheduling decisions are backend-specific
+3. **No premature optimization knobs** — don't add hints until we know we need them
+
+If the compiler has enough information (architecture + noise model), it should
+make good scheduling decisions without programmer hints. If not, we can add
+optional annotations later:
+
+```zlup
+// Hypothetical future annotation (only if needed):
+@schedule_hint(serialize)  // "Run this gadget fast, don't spread resources"
+fn syndrome_extraction(mut data: [n]qubit, mut ancilla: [m]qubit) -> [m]u1 {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+But we should try to avoid this. The constraint-based model gives the compiler
+freedom to schedule optimally. Adding hints constrains that freedom and burdens
+the programmer.
+
+**Principle:** Let the compiler be smart. Add knobs only when proven necessary.
+
+### Connectivity Constraints
+
+Not all qubit pairs can interact directly. The compiler must:
+
+1. Respect hardware topology (coupling map)
+2. Insert SWAP gates for non-adjacent interactions
+3. Re-analyze parallelism after routing
+
+```
+Logical:  cx (q[0], q[3])   <- May not be directly connected
+Physical: swap q[1], q[2]; cx (q[0], q[1]); swap q[1], q[2]
+```
+
+### Execution Zones
+
+Some architectures have independent execution zones:
+
+```
+Zone A: qubits 0-15
+Zone B: qubits 16-31
+
+Operations in different zones are naturally parallel.
+Allocator assignment can optimize for zone boundaries.
+```
+
+### Timing Constraints
+
+Real hardware has gate timing constraints:
+
+- Different gates take different times
+- Idle qubits may decohere
+- Some parallelism is limited by control electronics
+
+The scheduler must balance parallelism against timing.
+
+## Connection to NASA Power of 10
+
+The Power of 10 rules enable parallelism analysis:
+
+| Rule | How It Enables Parallelism |
+|------|---------------------------|
+| No unbounded loops | Loop iterations are finite → can unroll for analysis |
+| No recursion | Call graph is a DAG → simpler interprocedural analysis |
+| No dynamic allocation | All allocators known at compile time |
+| Static dispatch | No runtime polymorphism to complicate analysis |
+| Bounded complexity | Functions small enough for precise analysis |
+
+Without these constraints, parallelism analysis would require:
+- Runtime profiling
+- Conservative assumptions
+- Complex pointer/alias analysis
+
+With them, we can do everything statically.
+
+## Design Decisions (Resolved)
+
+### Do we need explicit parallelism syntax?
+
+**No.** Parallelism is expressed through constraints already in the type system:
+
+- Function signature shows allocator access → shows what qubits it touches
+- No allocator param = pure classical = parallel with any quantum op
+- Different allocator params = different qubits = independent
+
+Adding `@parallel` would duplicate information already in the types.
+
+### Do we need explicit barriers?
+
+**No.** Scopes are explicit barriers:
+
+```zlup
+{
+    // This scope is a barrier
+    do_stuff();
+}
+// Everything above completes before here
+```
+
+No scope = no enforced ordering = maximum parallelism.
+
+This is "explicit through constraints": the presence or absence of a scope
+explicitly controls synchronization. No new syntax needed.
+
+### Is this "implicit" parallelism?
+
+**No.** It's constraint-based parallelism. The parallelism isn't hidden or
+inferred—it's directly visible in the type signatures and scope structure.
+
+```zlup
+fn decode(s: [m]u1) -> Corrections  // ← This signature EXPLICITLY says "classical only"
+```
+
+The compiler doesn't guess. It reads the constraints you wrote.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Compiler architecture knowledge**: What information does the compiler need
+   about the target hardware? (Parallelism limits, noise model, connectivity)
+
+2. **Scheduling heuristics**: For constrained hardware, when should the compiler
+   serialize vs parallelize? (Decoherence vs. resource contention trade-off)
+
+3. **Do we need scheduling hints?**: Can the compiler make good decisions with
+   just architecture knowledge, or will we need programmer hints? (Start without,
+   add if proven necessary)
+
+4. **Allocator placement**: How should allocators be assigned to physical
+   qubits to maximize parallelism while respecting connectivity?
+
+5. **Syndrome history management**: What's the best pattern for decoders that
+   need sliding windows? (Value copy vs. borrowing vs. stateful decoder)
+
+6. **Real-time verification**: Should we add optional annotations to verify
+   timing constraints? (e.g., decoder must complete before next extraction)
+
+7. **Cross-backend portability**: If we add scheduling hints, can they be
+   portable across architectures or must they be backend-specific?
+
+## Future Work
+
+- [x] Implement allocator scope tracking in Zlup semantic analysis
+  - Done: `zlup::analysis::AllocatorAnalysis`
+- [x] Add dependency graph construction pass
+  - Done: `zlup::analysis::DependencyGraph`
+- [x] Prototype parallel layer extraction
+  - Done: `zlup::analysis::DependencyGraph::parallel_layers()`

+  - Done: `zlup analyze` and `guppy-zlup analyze` commands
+  - Done: `--analyze` flag on compile commands
+- [ ] Benchmark on representative quantum algorithms
+- [ ] Explore integration with PECOS simulator for validation
+
+## Why This Works for Quantum
+
+Implicit parallelism is particularly well-suited for quantum computing:
+
+1. **Quantum operations are naturally pure** - A gate transforms its target qubits
+   and nothing else. No hidden state, no side effects.
+
+2. **Qubit identity is explicit** - Unlike classical memory (where pointers can alias),
+   qubits are always explicitly named. `q[0]` is unambiguously qubit 0 of allocator q.
+
+3. **Independence is common** - Quantum algorithms frequently apply the same operation
+   to many qubits (Hadamard on all qubits, etc.). These are trivially parallel.
+
+4. **Hardware wants parallelism** - Quantum hardware can naturally execute independent
+   gates simultaneously. The programming model should expose this, not hide it.
+
+5. **Coherence time pressure** - Faster execution = less decoherence. The compiler
+   should maximize parallelism automatically, not rely on programmer hints.
+
+## Summary
+
+Zlup is an experimental language exploring constraint-based parallelism:
+
+- **No threads** — ownership model makes them unnecessary
+- **No locks** — no shared mutable state to protect
+- **No `@parallel`** — type signatures already express parallelizability
+- **No barrier syntax** — scopes are explicit sync points
+
+The key insight: **the function signature IS the parallelism declaration.**
+
+```zlup
+fn decode(syndrome: [m]u1) -> Corrections    // No allocators → classical only → parallel with any quantum
+fn extract(mut q: [n]qubit) -> unit          // Has allocator → needs qubit access → serialized with same allocator
+```
+
+This is:
+- **Explicit** — constraints are visible in the type signature
+- **Simple** — no new syntax to learn
+- **Verifiable** — compiler enforces constraints, parallelism follows
+
+**For QEC specifically:**
+
+- Decoder signatures prove they can't touch qubits → safe overlap with extraction
+- Classical/quantum boundary is explicit and compiler-verified
+- Pipelining emerges from constraints, no concurrency primitives needed
+
+**Separation of concerns:**
+
+- **Language** (constraints) → expresses what CAN parallelize
+- **Compiler** (scheduling) → decides what SHOULD parallelize given hardware
+
+The language stays simple. Architecture-specific optimization lives in the compiler.
+
+**Aligned with NASA Power of 10:**
+
+Don't add features to enable analysis. Remove possibilities until analysis is trivial.
+The same constraints that make Zlup safe make parallelism obvious.

+- [Parallelism](./future/parallelism.md) - Scope-aware parallelism analysis
+
+## Why These Rules?
+
+Quantum programs run on hardware with strict constraints:
+
+1. **Bounded execution** - No infinite loops; hardware has finite coherence time
+2. **Static resource allocation** - Qubit counts must be known at compile time
+3. **Predictable control flow** - Dynamic dispatch complicates timing analysis
+4. **Type safety** - Quantum operations require precise type information
+
+The lint rules (ZLUP001-010) enforce these constraints at the source level,
+catching violations before they reach the quantum hardware.

+## Type Expressions
+
+### Primitive Types
+
+```json
+{"kind": "primitive", "name": "int"}
+{"kind": "primitive", "name": "float"}
+{"kind": "primitive", "name": "bool"}
+{"kind": "primitive", "name": "str"}
+{"kind": "primitive", "name": "None"}
+```
+
+### Qubit Allocation Type
+
+```json
+{"kind": "qalloc", "size": {"kind": "literal", "value": 4}}
+{"kind": "qalloc", "size": {"kind": "ident", "name": "n"}}
+```
+
+### Array Type
+
+```json
+{"kind": "array", "element": {"kind": "primitive", "name": "int"}}
+```
+
+### Optional Type
+
+```json
+{"kind": "optional", "element": {"kind": "primitive", "name": "int"}}
+```
+
+### Named Type
+
+```json
+{"kind": "named", "name": "MyCustomType"}
+```
+
+## Statements
+
+### Qubit Allocation
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "qalloc",
+  "name": "q",
+  "size": {"kind": "literal", "value": 4}
+}
+```
+
+Represents `q = qubit[4]`.
+
+### Gate Application
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "gate",
+  "gate": "h",
+  "targets": [
+    {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0}}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Represents `h(q[0])`.
+
+Supported gates: `h`, `x`, `y`, `z`, `t`, `tdg`, `sx`, `sy`, `sz`, `szdg`,
+`rx`, `ry`, `rz`, `cx`, `cy`, `cz`, `swap`, `iswap`, `ccx`, `pz`
+
+> **Note:** Gate names follow PECOS conventions. Use `sz` (S-gate, sqrt of Z) and `szdg` (S-dagger) rather than `s`/`sdg`.
+
+For multi-qubit gates:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "gate",
+  "gate": "cx",
+  "targets": [
+    {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0}},
+    {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 1}}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Measurement
+
+As a statement (result discarded):
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "measure",
+  "target": {"kind": "ident", "name": "q"}
+}
+```
+
+As an assignment (result captured):
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "assign",
+  "target": {"kind": "ident", "name": "m"},
+  "value": {
+    "kind": "call",
+    "callee": "measure",
+    "args": [{"kind": "ident", "name": "q"}]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note on Zlup measurement syntax:**
+
+The generated Zlup supports flexible measurement syntax:
+
+```zlup
+// Per-qubit measurement into array
+m := mz([4]u1) q;
+
+// Single qubit measurement
+bit := mz(u1) q[0];
+
+// Pack into integer type
+syndrome_byte := mz(pack u8) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3], q[4], q[5], q[6], q[7]];
+
+// Pack into custom struct type
+Syndrome := struct { x_parity: u1, z_parity: u1, flags: u2 };
+syndrome := mz(pack Syndrome) [ancilla[0], ancilla[1], ancilla[2], ancilla[3]];
+```
+
+The `pack` modifier fills bits sequentially into the target type's bit layout (LSB first).
+
+### Assignment
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "assign",
+  "target": {"kind": "ident", "name": "x"},
+  "value": {"kind": "literal", "value": 42}
+}
+```
+
+Target kinds: `ident`, `index`, `attr`, `tuple`
+
+### For Loop
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "for",
+  "var": "i",
+  "range": {
+    "start": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0},
+    "end": {"kind": "ident", "name": "n"}
+  },
+  "body": [...]
+}
+```
+
+### If Statement
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "if",
+  "condition": {"kind": "binary", "left": ..., "op": "==", "right": ...},
+  "then_body": [...],
+  "else_body": [...]
+}
+```
+
+### While Loop
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "while",
+  "condition": {"kind": "binary", ...},
+  "body": [...]
+}
+```
+
+### Return
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "return",
+  "return_value": {"kind": "ident", "name": "result"}
+}
+```
+
+For entry/main functions, use `result()` instead of returning values.
+
+### Result Emission
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "result",
+  "tag": "measurements",
+  "value": {"kind": "ident", "name": "m"}
+}
+```
+
+Represents `result("measurements", m)` - emits a tagged value to the quantum runtime.
+Entry/main functions should use explicit `result()` calls rather than returning values.
+
+## Expressions
+
+### Literals
+
+```json
+{"kind": "literal", "value": 42}
+{"kind": "literal", "value": 3.14}
+{"kind": "literal", "value": "hello"}
+{"kind": "literal", "value": true}
+{"kind": "literal", "value": null}
+```
+
+### Identifier
+
+```json
+{"kind": "ident", "name": "variable_name"}
+```
+
+### Index Access
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "index",
+  "array": "q",
+  "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0}
+}
+```
+
+Or with expression base:
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "index",
+  "value": {"kind": "ident", "name": "arr"},
+  "index": {"kind": "ident", "name": "i"}
+}
+```
+
+### Binary Operations
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "binary",
+  "left": {"kind": "ident", "name": "a"},
+  "op": "+",
+  "right": {"kind": "literal", "value": 1}
+}
+```
+
+Arithmetic operators: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `//`, `%`, `**`, `<<`, `>>`, `|`, `^`, `&`, `@`
+
+Comparison operators: `==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `is`, `is not`, `in`, `not in`
+
+Both arithmetic and comparison operations use `"kind": "binary"`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "binary",
+  "left": {"kind": "ident", "name": "x"},
+  "op": "<",
+  "right": {"kind": "literal", "value": 10}
+}
+
+### Function Call
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "call",
+  "callee": "function_name",
+  "args": [
+    {"kind": "ident", "name": "arg1"},

+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Or with expression callee:
+```json
+{
+  "kind": "call",
+  "func": {"kind": "field", "object": {...}, "field": "method"},
+  "args": [...]
+}
+```
+
+## Location
+
+```json
+{
+  "line": 1,
+  "column": 1,

+# Lint Rules Reference
+
+The Guppy linter enforces rules derived from NASA's Power of 10 coding
+guidelines, adapted for quantum computing. These rules ensure programs are
+safe, predictable, and suitable for execution on quantum hardware.
+
+## Rule Summary
+
+| Rule    | Severity | Description                          |
+|---------|----------|--------------------------------------|
+| ZLUP001 | Error    | Unbounded loops                      |
+| ZLUP002 | Error    | Recursive function calls             |
+| ZLUP003 | Error    | Dynamic memory allocation in loops   |
+| ZLUP004 | Error    | Dynamic dispatch                     |
+| ZLUP005 | Warning  | Unchecked error-prone operations     |
+| ZLUP006 | Warning  | Missing type annotations             |
+| ZLUP007 | Warning  | Excessive control flow complexity    |
+| ZLUP008 | Warning  | Deep call nesting (>4 levels)        |
+| ZLUP009 | Info     | Missing assertions in large functions|
+| ZLUP010 | Warning  | Global mutable state                 |
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP001: Unbounded Loops
+
+**Severity:** Error
+
+**Rationale:** Quantum hardware has finite coherence time. Programs must
+terminate within a bounded time, which requires all loops to have statically
+determinable bounds.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- `while True:` loops
+- `while 1:` loops
+- While loops without a clear termination condition
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# BAD: Unbounded loop
+def bad():
+    while True:  # ZLUP001: unbounded loop
+        do_something()
+
+# BAD: Effectively unbounded
+def also_bad():
+    while some_condition():  # ZLUP001: cannot prove termination
+        do_something()
+
+# GOOD: Bounded by break with finite iterations
+def acceptable():
+    for i in range(100):
+        if done():
+            break
+        do_something()
+
+# GOOD: Clear termination condition
+def good():
+    for i in range(n):  # Bounded by n
+        do_something()
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Replace unbounded loops with bounded `for` loops or add explicit iteration limits.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP002: Recursion
+
+**Severity:** Error
+
+**Rationale:** Recursive calls can lead to unbounded stack growth and
+unpredictable execution time. Quantum programs must have statically
+determinable resource usage.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Direct recursion (function calls itself)
+- Indirect recursion (A calls B, B calls A)
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# BAD: Direct recursion
+def factorial(n: int) -> int:
+    if n <= 1:
+        return 1
+    return n * factorial(n - 1)  # ZLUP002: recursive call
+
+# BAD: Indirect recursion
+def ping(n: int) -> int:
+    if n <= 0:
+        return 0
+    return pong(n - 1)  # ZLUP002: mutual recursion
+
+def pong(n: int) -> int:
+    return ping(n - 1)  # ZLUP002: mutual recursion
+
+# GOOD: Iterative version
+def factorial(n: int) -> int:
+    result = 1
+    for i in range(1, n + 1):
+        result *= i
+    return result
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Convert recursive algorithms to iterative versions using explicit loops.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP003: Dynamic Allocation in Loops
+
+**Severity:** Error
+
+**Rationale:** Dynamic memory allocation inside loops can lead to unbounded
+memory growth. For quantum programs, qubit allocation must be statically
+determinable.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- `qubit[n]` allocation inside loop bodies
+- List creation (`[]`, `list()`) inside loops
+- `.append()` calls inside loops
+- List comprehensions that grow unboundedly
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# BAD: Qubit allocation in loop
+def bad():
+    for i in range(10):
+        q = qubit[2]  # ZLUP003: allocation in loop
+        h(q[0])
+
+# BAD: List growth in loop
+def also_bad():
+    results = []
+    for i in range(n):
+        results.append(measure(q))  # ZLUP003: dynamic growth
+
+# GOOD: Pre-allocate outside loop
+def good():
+    q = qubit[20]  # Allocate once
+    for i in range(10):
+        h(q[i * 2])
+
+# GOOD: Fixed-size collection
+def also_good(n: int):
+    q = qubit[n]
+    results = [0] * n  # Pre-sized
+    for i in range(n):
+        results[i] = measure(q[i])
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Move allocations outside loops. Pre-size collections before loop entry.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP004: Dynamic Dispatch
+
+**Severity:** Error
+
+**Rationale:** Dynamic dispatch (runtime method resolution) makes control flow
+unpredictable and complicates timing analysis on quantum hardware.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- `getattr()` calls
+- `eval()` calls
+- `exec()` calls
+- Subscript-based function calls (`funcs[i]()`)
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# BAD: Dynamic attribute access
+def bad(obj, method_name: str):
+    func = getattr(obj, method_name)  # ZLUP004: dynamic dispatch
+    func()
+
+# BAD: eval
+def also_bad(code: str):
+    eval(code)  # ZLUP004: eval
+
+# BAD: Subscript dispatch
+def dispatch(funcs, i: int):
+    funcs[i]()  # ZLUP004: dynamic dispatch
+
+# GOOD: Static dispatch
+def good(obj):
+    obj.known_method()  # Static, known at compile time
+
+# GOOD: Match/if for dispatch
+def also_good(choice: int):
+    if choice == 0:
+        func_a()
+    elif choice == 1:
+        func_b()
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Use static method calls or explicit if/match statements for dispatch.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP005: Unchecked Error-Prone Operations
+
+**Severity:** Warning
+
+**Rationale:** Operations that can fail at runtime should be wrapped in
+error handling to prevent unexpected crashes.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Division operations not in try/except blocks
+- `int()` conversions not in try/except blocks
+- Other operations that may raise exceptions
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# WARNING: Division might fail
+def bad(a: int, b: int) -> int:
+    return a / b  # ZLUP005: possible division by zero
+
+# OK: Division by literal
+def ok(a: int) -> int:
+    return a / 2  # Literal cannot be zero
+
+# GOOD: Wrapped in try/except
+def good(a: int, b: int) -> int:
+    try:
+        return a / b
+    except ZeroDivisionError:
+        return 0
+
+# GOOD: Explicit check
+def also_good(a: int, b: int) -> int:
+    if b == 0:
+        return 0
+    return a / b
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Wrap error-prone operations in try/except or add explicit validation.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP006: Missing Type Annotations
+
+**Severity:** Warning
+
+**Rationale:** Type annotations enable static analysis and catch errors at
+compile time rather than runtime. They're especially important for quantum
+programs where runtime debugging is difficult.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Functions without return type annotations
+- Parameters without type annotations
+- Exception: `self` parameter (implicitly typed)
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# WARNING: Missing return type
+def bad(x: int):  # ZLUP006: missing return type
+    return x + 1
+
+# WARNING: Missing parameter type
+def also_bad(x) -> int:  # ZLUP006: missing parameter type
+    return x + 1
+
+# GOOD: Fully annotated
+def good(x: int) -> int:
+    return x + 1
+
+# OK: self doesn't need annotation
+class Foo:
+    def method(self, x: int) -> int:  # self is fine
+        return x
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Add type annotations to all function parameters and return types.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP007: Excessive Control Flow Complexity
+
+**Severity:** Warning
+
+**Rationale:** Complex control flow is harder to analyze, test, and reason
+about. High cyclomatic complexity correlates with bugs.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Functions with cyclomatic complexity > 10 (configurable)
+- Deeply nested control structures
+
+### Complexity Calculation
+
+Each of the following adds 1 to complexity:
+- `if` statement
+- `elif` clause
+- `for` loop
+- `while` loop
+- `except` handler
+- `and` operator
+- `or` operator
+- Conditional expression (`x if cond else y`)
+- Comprehension with `if` clause
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# WARNING: Too complex
+def bad(x: int, y: int, z: int) -> int:
+    if x > 0:
+        if y > 0:
+            if z > 0:
+                return 1
+            else:
+                if x > y:
+                    return 2
+                else:
+                    return 3
+        else:
+            for i in range(x):
+                if i > y:
+                    return 4
+    # ... continues with more nesting
+    # ZLUP007: complexity > 10
+
+# GOOD: Refactored into smaller functions
+def handle_positive_z(x: int, y: int) -> int:
+    return 2 if x > y else 3
+
+def handle_positive_y(x: int, y: int, z: int) -> int:
+    if z > 0:
+        return 1
+    return handle_positive_z(x, y)
+
+def good(x: int, y: int, z: int) -> int:
+    if x <= 0:
+        return 0
+    if y > 0:
+        return handle_positive_y(x, y, z)
+    return handle_negative_y(x, y)
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Break complex functions into smaller, focused helper functions.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP008: Deep Call Nesting
+
+**Severity:** Warning
+
+**Rationale:** Deeply nested function calls (calls within calls within calls)
+make code hard to verify and debug. NASA Power of 10 Rule 5 recommends keeping
+assertions and expressions simple and verifiable.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Function calls nested more than 4 levels deep (configurable)
+- Chains like `a(b(c(d(e()))))`
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# WARNING: Call depth exceeds 4
+def bad():
+    result = a(b(c(d(e()))))  # ZLUP008: too deep
+
+# GOOD: Intermediate variables
+def good():
+    e_result = e()
+    d_result = d(e_result)
+    c_result = c(d_result)
+    b_result = b(c_result)
+    result = a(b_result)
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Extract nested calls into named intermediate variables. This improves
+readability, debuggability, and makes assertions on intermediate values possible.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP009: Missing Assertions
+
+**Severity:** Info
+
+**Rationale:** NASA Power of 10 Rule 5 requires assertions to check invariants.
+Non-trivial functions should contain assertions to validate preconditions,
+postconditions, and invariants.
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Functions with 5+ statements that contain no `assert` statements
+- Exception: test functions (`test_*`) and dunder methods (`__*__`)
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# INFO: Function has 6 statements but no assertions
+def process(data):
+    x = 1
+    y = 2
+    z = 3
+    a = x + y
+    b = y + z
+    return a + b  # ZLUP009: no assertions
+
+# GOOD: Has assertion for precondition
+def process(data):
+    assert data is not None, "data must not be None"
+    x = 1
+    y = 2
+    z = 3
+    a = x + y
+    b = y + z
+    return a + b
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Add `assert` statements to validate preconditions, postconditions, or
+loop invariants. Even simple assertions like `assert data is not None`
+help document assumptions and catch errors early.
+
+---
+
+## ZLUP010: Global Mutable State
+
+**Severity:** Warning
+
+**Rationale:** Mutable global state creates hidden dependencies between
+functions, makes programs harder to reason about, and can cause issues
+in concurrent execution (relevant for quantum-classical hybrid programs).
+
+### Triggers
+
+- Module-level variable assignments (lowercase names)
+- Use of `global` keyword inside functions
+- Exception: UPPER_CASE constants are allowed
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# WARNING: Mutable global state
+counter = 0  # ZLUP010: lowercase module-level variable
+
+def increment():
+    global counter  # ZLUP010: global keyword
+    counter += 1
+
+# GOOD: Constants allowed
+MAX_SIZE = 100
+DEFAULT_VALUE = 42
+
+# GOOD: Pass state explicitly
+def increment(counter: int) -> int:
+    return counter + 1
+```
+
+### Fix
+
+Use UPPER_CASE names for true constants. For mutable state, pass values
+explicitly through function parameters and return values.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+Rules can be configured in `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[tool.guppy-zlup]
+# Disable specific rules
+disabled_rules = ["ZLUP005"]
+
+# Adjust complexity threshold
+max_complexity = 15
+
+# Treat warnings as errors
+warnings_as_errors = true
+```
+
+Or via command line:
+
+```bash
+guppy-zlup check program.py --disable ZLUP005 --max-complexity 15
+```

+//! # guppy-zlup
+//!
+//! Guppy linter and Zlup compiler.
+//!
+//! This crate provides:
+//! - **Linting**: Validates Guppy quantum programs against NASA Power of 10 rules
+//! - **Compilation**: Transforms validated Guppy IR into Zlup source code
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ### Linting
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use guppy_zlup::lint_source;
+//!
+//! // Lint source code
+//! let result = lint_source("def main(): pass", None);
+//! if result.has_errors {
+//!     for diag in &result.diagnostics {
+//!         println!("{}", diag);
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! assert!(!result.has_errors);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! To lint a file:
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! use guppy_zlup::lint_file;
+//!
+//! let result = lint_file("example.py").unwrap();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### Compilation
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use guppy_zlup::{compile, compile_to_ast};
+//!
+//! let ir_json = r#"{
+//!     "version": "0.1.0",
+//!     "functions": [{
+//!         "name": "main",
+//!         "params": [],
+//!         "body": [
+//!             {"kind": "qalloc", "name": "q", "size": {"kind": "literal", "value": 2}},
+//!             {"kind": "gate", "gate": "h", "targets": [
+//!                 {"kind": "index", "array": "q", "index": {"kind": "literal", "value": 0}}
+//!             ]}
+//!         ]
+//!     }]
+//! }"#;
+//!
+//! // Get Zlup source code directly
+//! let source = compile(ir_json).unwrap();
+//! assert!(source.contains("fn main"));
+//!
+//! // Or get the Zlup AST for programmatic use
+//! let ast = compile_to_ast(ir_json).unwrap();
+//! assert_eq!(ast.declarations.len(), 1);
+//! ```

+# Zlup
+
+> **EXPERIMENTAL / EXPLORATORY** - Zlup is a research experiment, not a production language.
+
+A quantum programming language for QEC research: simple, low-level, and predictable by design.
+
+## Overview
+
+Zlup is the **low-level complement to Guppy** in the PECOS ecosystem. While Guppy provides a high-level, Pythonic experience with linear types for safety, Zlup explores a different point in the design space:
+
+| | Guppy | Zlup |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Philosophy** | High-level, Pythonic | Low-level, explicit |
+| **Safety mechanism** | Linear type system | Constraints make unsafe impossible |
+| **Target users** | QEC researchers | Systems programmers |
+
+**Design principles:** Simple. Explicit. No magic.
+
+- Zig semantics with Rust/Python syntax
+- NASA Power of 10 compliance for reliability
+- Safe by constraint (no recursion, no escaping references)
+
+## Quick Example
+
+```zig
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Create GHZ state
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    cx (q[1], q[2]);
+    cx (q[2], q[3]);

+## Status
+
+Zlup is **highly experimental**—an exploration of language design, not a production tool. The goal is to learn from building it, not to replace existing tools.
+
+See the [Design Philosophy](docs/design.md) for more on why Zlup exists.

+# CLI Reference
+
+Zlup provides a command-line interface for compiling, checking, and running Zlup programs.
+
+## Project Commands
+
+### Initialize a Project
+
+```bash
+# Create a new project
+zlup init my-project
+
+# Create project in current directory
+zlup init my-project --here
+```
+
+### Build a Project
+
+```bash
+# Build using zlup.toml configuration
+zlup build
+
+# Build with strict mode override
+zlup build --strict true
+
+# Build to different target
+zlup build --target hugr
+```
+
+## Direct Compilation
+
+### Compile
+
+```bash
+# Compile to SLR-AST JSON (default)
+zlup compile program.zlp
+
+# Compile to specific target
+zlup compile --target slr program.zlp
+zlup compile --target qasm program.zlp
+zlup compile --target hugr program.zlp
+
+# Read from stdin
+echo 'fn main() -> unit { return; }' | zlup compile -
+```
+
+### Check
+
+```bash
+# Check syntax and semantics
+zlup check program.zlp
+
+# Strict mode (NASA Power of 10 checks)
+zlup check --strict program.zlp
+```
+
+## Formatting
+
+Format Zlup source files to a consistent style.
+
+```bash
+# Format and print to stdout
+zlup fmt program.zlp
+
+# Format in place
+zlup fmt --write program.zlp
+zlup fmt -w program.zlp
+
+# Check formatting (exit 1 if not formatted)
+zlup fmt --check program.zlp
+
+# Read from stdin
+cat program.zlp | zlup fmt -
+```
+
+## Linting
+
+Zlup includes a linter with automatic fix capabilities, similar to ruff for Python.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Run linter (strict mode by default)
+zlup lint program.zlp
+
+# Run with relaxed or minimal rules
+zlup lint --level relaxed program.zlp
+zlup lint --level minimal program.zlp
+```
+
+### Auto-Fix
+
+```bash
+# Preview fixes without applying (shows diff)
+zlup lint --diff program.zlp
+
+# Apply safe fixes automatically
+zlup lint --fix program.zlp
+
+# Apply both safe and unsafe fixes
+zlup lint --fix --unsafe-fixes program.zlp
+```
+
+### Output Options
+
+```bash
+# Show statistics only
+zlup lint --statistics program.zlp
+
+# Treat warnings as errors
+zlup lint --deny-warnings program.zlp
+
+# Output formats
+zlup lint --format pretty program.zlp   # Human-readable (default)
+zlup lint --format json program.zlp     # JSON for tooling
+zlup lint --format compact program.zlp  # One line per diagnostic
+```
+
+### Fix Safety Levels
+
+| Safety | Description | Examples |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Safe | Preserves semantics, guaranteed correct | Prefix unused vars with `_`, decimal to fraction |
+| Unsafe | Probably safe, may need manual verification | Complex refactorings |
+
+### Common Lint Rules
+
+| Rule | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `unused_variable` | Detects unused variables (fixable: prefix with `_`) |
+| `unused_function` | Detects unused non-public functions |
+| `function_naming` | Enforces snake_case for function names |
+| `variable_naming` | Enforces snake_case for variable names |
+| `type_naming` | Enforces PascalCase for type names |
+| `deep_nesting` | Warns on excessive nesting depth (NASA PoT Rule 1) |
+| `low_assertion_density` | Warns when code lacks assertions (NASA PoT Rule 5) |
+| `prefer_fraction_turns` | Suggests exact fractions over decimals (fixable) |
+| `prefer_turns_over_radians` | Suggests turns over radians for precision |
+
+## Parallelism Analysis
+
+Analyze Zlup programs for parallelism opportunities:
+
+```bash
+# Analyze a program
+zlup analyze program.zlp
+
+# JSON output for tooling
+zlup analyze program.zlp --format json
+
+# Verbose output with dependency graph
+zlup analyze program.zlp --verbose
+
+# Read from stdin
+cat program.zlp | zlup analyze -
+```
+
+The analyzer identifies:
+- Qubit allocator lifetimes and scopes
+- Operation dependencies (qubit and data dependencies)
+- Parallel execution layers (operations that can run simultaneously)
+
+## Expression Evaluation
+
+Quick evaluation of expressions for experimentation:
+
+```bash
+# Evaluate arithmetic
+zlup eval "2 + 3 * 4"      # 14
+
+# Evaluate comparisons
+zlup eval "10 > 5"         # true
+
+# Strings
+zlup eval '"hello"'        # "hello"
+
+# Read from stdin
+echo "100 / 4" | zlup eval -
+
+# Verbose mode (show AST)
+zlup eval --verbose "1 + 2"
+```
+
+## Project Configuration
+
+Zlup projects use a `zlup.toml` file for configuration:
+
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "my-quantum-program"
+version = "0.1.0"
+entry = "main.zlp"
+description = "A quantum application"
+authors = ["Alice"]
+
+[build]
+strict = false          # Enable NASA Power of 10 strict checks
+target = "slr"          # Default: "slr" or "hugr"
+output_dir = "build"    # Output directory
+```
+
+## Compilation Targets
+
+Zlup can compile to multiple targets:
+
+```
+Zlup Source (.zlp)
+        |
+        v
+    Zlup AST
+        |
+    +---+---+
+    |       |
+    v       v
+SLR-AST   HUGR
+    |       |
+    v       v
+ Guppy   Native
+ QASM    Execution
+```
+
+| Target | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `slr` | SLR-AST JSON for Python/PECOS bridge (default) |
+| `qasm` | OpenQASM 2.0 output |
+| `hugr` | HUGR IR for native execution |
+
+## Debugging
+
+### Parse AST
+
+Dump the parsed AST for debugging and development:
+
+```bash
+# Debug format (Rust Debug output)
+zlup parse program.zlp
+
+# JSON format
+zlup parse --format json program.zlp
+zlup parse -f json program.zlp
+
+# Read from stdin
+echo 'fn main() -> unit { return; }' | zlup parse -
+```

+# Zlup: Zig Semantics with Rust/Python Syntax
+
+## Status
+
+> **EXPERIMENTAL / EXPLORATORY** - Zlup is a research experiment exploring whether a quantum language with these design goals is feasible. It is not a production language—do not use it for real projects. The value is in what we learn from building it.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Zlup is the **low-level reflection of Guppy** in the PECOS ecosystem. Where Guppy provides a high-level, Pythonic experience with linear types for safety, Zlup explores the opposite end of the design spectrum: **simple, explicit, low-level control**.
+
+### The Guppy-Zlup Duality
+
+| Concern | Guppy | Zlup |
+|---------|-------|------|
+| **Abstraction** | High-level, hide complexity | Low-level, expose control |
+| **Safety model** | Linear type system | Simplicity + constraints |
+| **Resource management** | Implicit (type system tracks) | Explicit (allocators) |
+| **Target audience** | QEC researchers, algorithm developers | Low-level QEC developers, systems programmers |
+| **Integration** | Python-embedded | Rust-native |
+| **Philosophy** | "Make it easy" | "Make it clear" |
+
+### When to Use Zlup
+
+Zlup is designed for **quantum orchestration and Rust integration**:
+
+- **Quantum control flow**: Gate sequences, syndrome extraction, correction application
+- **FFI to Rust backends**: Calling decoders, simulators, and classical algorithms
+- **Simulation infrastructure**: Noise modeling, error injection, state tracking
+- **Compilation target**: Guppy programs can target Zlup for Rust execution
+
+**Complex classical algorithms (MWPM, ML decoders, etc.) belong in native code**—Rust is preferred for safety, but C/C++/Zig are supported via FFI (C ABI). Zlup orchestrates the quantum side and calls native backends for heavy classical computation.
+
+To make Rust integration ergonomic, Zlup provides the **`zlup-ffi` crate**—a Rust library with:
+- `Decoder`, `NoiseModel`, `Simulator` traits that decoders and backends implement
+- `#[zlup_export]` proc macro that generates C ABI wrappers automatically
+- FFI-safe types (`PackedBits`, `QubitId`, `GateType`) for type-safe interop
+- `zlup bindgen` command to generate Zlup declarations from Rust code
+
+See [docs/rust-integration.md](rust-integration.md) for the full guide.
+
+Most QEC researchers who prefer Python workflows should use **Guppy**. Zlup is for the systems layer that connects quantum operations to classical backends.
+
+Design influences include:
+
+- **Rust's safety goals**: Inspired by Rust's commitment to safety, but pursuing it through
+  simplicity and constraints rather than a complex type system
+- **More constrained than Zig**: Zig demonstrates that expressivity doesn't require complexity—
+  Zlup pushes further, adding constraints so that complex safety mechanisms become unnecessary
+- **Rust/Python syntax**: Familiar surface syntax for broader accessibility
+- **NASA Power of 10**: Bounded loops, fixed resource limits, predictable execution
+
+### Safety Through Constraints, Not Complexity
+
+The core philosophy: **if the language is constrained enough, you don't need sophisticated type systems for safety**.
+
+| Approach | How It Achieves Safety | Complexity |
+|----------|------------------------|------------|
+| Rust | Borrow checker, lifetimes, ownership | High (but powerful) |
+| Guppy | Linear types | Medium-high |
+| Zig | Explicit, no hidden behavior | Medium |
+| **Zlup** | Constraints + simplicity | Low |
+
+Zlup explores whether scoping rules, bounded resources, and explicit control flow can be designed so that:
+- The "obvious" code is the safe code
+- Unsafe patterns are structurally impossible, not just flagged by a type checker
+- You don't need to understand complex type theory to write correct programs
+
+This is **explicit over implicit**—no magic, no hidden behavior, no surprises. The constraints aren't limitations on expressivity; they're guardrails that make unsafe patterns impossible to express in the first place.
+
+Zlup compiles to multiple targets:
+
+- **SLR-AST**: JSON bridge enabling integration with Guppy and Python/PECOS
+- **HUGR**: For hardware backends (shared with Guppy)
+- **PHIR**: For simulator targeting (future)
+
+---
+
+## Design Principles
+
+- **Expressivity through simplicity**: Powerful programs without complexity or magic
+- **Safety through constraints**: Restrictions that make unsafe patterns impossible
+- **Reliability and predictability**: Bounded, analyzable programs for QEC
+
+---
+
+## Relationship to Guppy
+
+Zlup complements Guppy by exploring a different point in the design space. Guppy's
+linear type system provides strong safety guarantees with an elegant Python-embedded
+experience. Zlup explores whether similar safety can be achieved through explicit
+allocator-based resource management, which may be useful for:
+
+- Rust-native simulation workflows
+- Cases where explicit low-level control is preferred
+- Compiling Guppy programs to a Rust-friendly representation
+
+| Aspect            | Guppy                    | Zlup                 |
+|-------------------|--------------------------|----------------------|
+| Type safety       | Linear types             | Allocator model      |
+| Integration       | Python-embedded          | Standalone / Rust    |
+| Abstraction       | Higher-level             | Lower-level          |
+| Resource tracking | Type system              | Structural lifetimes |
+| Primary use       | User-facing programs     | Compilation target   |
+
+### Why Explore This Approach?
+
+Zlup is inspired by Rust's commitment to safety but pursues it through simplicity and
+constraints. Where Rust achieves safety through a sophisticated type system, Zlup explores
+whether similar guarantees can emerge from a simpler language with stricter constraints.
+
+Zig's design principles—particularly its commitment to no magic and its demonstration that
+expressivity doesn't require complexity—align well with this goal. Zlup may push even
+further toward simplicity given the NASA Power of 10 emphasis, while preserving the
+expressivity needed for complex QEC algorithms.
+
+Zig's principles map well to quantum computing needs:
+
+| Zig Principle         | Quantum Application                     |
+|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
+| No hidden allocations | Explicit qubit lifecycle                |
+| Comptime              | Circuit generation, parameterized codes |
+| Simple and explicit   | Readable QEC protocols                  |
+| Safety without GC     | Resource safety via allocators          |
+
+### NASA Power of 10 Alignment
+
+Zlup follows NASA's Power of 10 rules—designed for mission-critical systems where failure is not an option. **Production QEC infrastructure has the same requirements**: a subtle bug in a decoder, an unbounded loop during syndrome processing, or unexpected memory allocation could corrupt an entire quantum computation.
+
+These constraints aren't limitations—they're what mature, reliable QEC infrastructure demands:
+
+| Rule                           | Zlup Implementation                       |
+|--------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+| 1. Simple control flow         | No goto, no while, no recursion           |
+| 2. Fixed loop bounds           | Only bounded `for i in 0..n` loops        |
+| 3. No dynamic alloc after init | Base allocator in main, children derive   |
+| 4. Small functions             | Encouraged by module system               |
+| 5. Assertions                  | Built-in `test` blocks, comptime checks   |
+| 6. Minimal scope               | Block scoping, automatic release          |
+| 7. Check returns               | Error unions, optional types              |
+| 8. Limited preprocessor        | Comptime replaces macros                  |
+| 9. Limited pointers            | Allocator refs, not raw pointers          |
+| 10. All warnings               | Strict mode enabled by default            |
+
+**Safe by Constraint**: Zlup enforces safety unconditionally—recursion is always forbidden, references to local variables cannot escape functions, and dangling pointers are structurally impossible. These aren't optional "strict mode" checks; they're fundamental to the language's memory model.
+

+
+## Language Design
+
+### Core Concepts
+
+#### 1. Allocator-Based Qubit Management
+
+```zlup
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    // Simple case: gates don't require mut
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    return;
+}
+
+pub fn partitioned_example() -> unit {
+    // Partitioning: mut required on parent for .child()
+    mut base := qalloc(100);
+
+    // Children track resources from parent (base is mutated)
+    // but children themselves don't need mut for gate application
+    data := base.child(9);
+    ancilla := base.child(8);
+
+    pz data;
+    h data[0];
+    cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+
+    // Automatic release when scope ends
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Two Slot States
+
+Qubits have exactly two states (simplicity):
+
+```
+┌────────────┐  prepare()  ┌──────────┐
+│ unprepared │ ──────────> │ prepared │
+└────────────┘             └──────────┘
+      ^                          │
+      │           mz()           │
+      └──────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+- **unprepared**: Initial state, or after measurement
+- **prepared**: Ready for gate operations
+
+Gates on unprepared slots are compile-time errors.
+
+#### 3. Comptime Metaprogramming
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Parameterized surface code
+pub fn surface_code(comptime distance: u32) -> type {
+    num_data := distance * distance;
+    num_ancilla := (distance - 1) * (distance - 1) * 2;
+
+    return struct {
+        data: qalloc(num_data),
+        ancilla: qalloc(num_ancilla),
+
+        // Self is implicitly available (Rust-style)
+
+        pub fn init(base: *Alloc) -> Self {
+            return Self {
+                data: base.child(num_data),
+                ancilla: base.child(num_ancilla),
+            };
+        }
+
+        pub fn syndrome_round(&mut self) -> [num_ancilla]bit {
+            pz self.ancilla;
+
+            // Compile-time loop unrolling
+            inline for i in 0..num_ancilla / 2 {
+                self.measure_x_stabilizer(i);
+            }
+            inline for i in 0..num_ancilla / 2 {
+                self.measure_z_stabilizer(i);
+            }
+
+            // return mz([num_ancilla]u1) self.ancilla[..];
+        }
+    };
+}
+
+// Usage
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    mut base := qalloc(50);
+    mut code := surface_code(3).init(&base);
+
+    for _ in 0..1000 {
+        syndrome := code.syndrome_round();
+        // decode and correct...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Error Handling
+
+Zlup follows Zig's error-as-values philosophy with extensions for quantum error correction.
+The design is **explicit over implicit** — you must acknowledge every potential error,
+aligning with NASA Power of 10 requirements for checking all return values.
+
+##### Faults vs Errors
+
+Zlup distinguishes **faults** from **errors** based on their origin and typical handling pattern:
+
+| Aspect | Fault | Error |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| **Origin** | Quantum hardware (physical layer) | Classical logic (software layer) |
+| **Nature** | Expected imperfection we're designed to handle | Unexpected problem that means something is wrong |
+| **Handling** | Collect for later analysis (QEC pattern) | Stop execution immediately |
+| **Keyword** | `fault` | `error` |
+
+The distinction is not about severity — a fault can absolutely cause a logical error. Rather,
+it's about **where the problem originates** and **how we typically want to handle it**:
+
+- **Faults happen at the physical layer.** The quantum hardware did something imperfect:
+  a gate didn't apply cleanly, a qubit leaked, a measurement was noisy. These are expected —
+  QEC is designed to handle a certain fault rate. Stopping on every fault would make
+  error correction impossible. A QEC round might collect 50 faults and that's fine;
+  that's what error correction is for.
+
+- **Errors happen at the logical layer.** Something in the classical algorithm went wrong:
+  the decoder couldn't find a valid correction, a file wasn't found, an invalid state was
+  reached. These indicate either a bug or an unrecoverable situation. If the decoder says
+  "I can't figure out a correction," that's an error — the logical algorithm failed.
+
+**Mental model:**
+- Faults = "expected badness we're designed to handle"
+- Errors = "unexpected badness that means something is wrong"
+
+**Quantum faults** — physical events from the quantum hardware:
+```zlup
+// Use `fault` keyword for quantum/physical faults
+QuantumFault := fault {
+    Leakage,
+    QubitLoss,
+    GateFailure,
+};
+```
+
+**Classical errors** — logical problems in the software:
+```zlup
+// Use `error` keyword for classical/logical errors
+DecodeError := error {
+    SyndromeAmbiguous,
+    WeightTooHigh,
+};
+
+IoError := error {
+    FileNotFound,
+    PermissionDenied,
+};
+```
+
+| Category | Keyword | Behavior in `try` | Behavior in `try!` | Examples |
+|----------|---------|-------------------|-------------------|----------|
+| Quantum Fault | `fault` | Collected, continues | Stops immediately | Leakage, qubit loss, gate failure |
+| Classical Error | `error` | Stops immediately | Stops immediately | Decoder failure, I/O error, invalid state |
+
+##### Explicit Handling Required
+
+Unlike languages that allow exceptions to propagate silently or errors to be ignored,
+Zlup requires **explicit handling of both faults and errors**. This aligns with NASA Power
+of 10 Rule 7: "Check the return value of all non-void functions."
+
+**Learning from Rust's `?` operator criticism:**
+
+Rust has been criticized for making error propagation *too easy*. The `?` operator lets
+developers mechanically propagate errors without thinking about them:
+
+```rust
+// Rust: ? makes it easy to just bubble errors up without thought
+fn do_something() -> Result<T, E> {
+    let x = step1()?;  // Just propagate, don't think
+    let y = step2()?;  // Just propagate, don't think
+    let z = step3()?;  // Just propagate, don't think
+    Ok(z)
+}
+```
+
+While this is "explicit" in that you must write `?`, it becomes so automatic that
+developers stop thinking about error handling. The errors bubble up, but nobody along
+the way considered what to do about them.
+
+**Zlup's approach: deliberate handling over mechanical propagation**
+
+In QEC, errors and faults carry crucial diagnostic information. Mechanical propagation
+loses context and makes debugging difficult. Zlup encourages *deliberate* handling:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// INVALID: ignoring the return value
+qec_round(q);  // Compile error: unhandled faults/errors
+
+// DISCOURAGED: mechanical propagation without thought
+// (Zlup intentionally doesn't have a `?` operator)
+
+// ENCOURAGED: deliberate handling with context
+faults, result := qec_round(q);
+result catch |err| {
+    log("QEC round failed at step {}: {}", step, err);
+    log("Faults before failure: {}", faults);
+    return err;  // Propagate, but with added context
+};
+
+// VALID: explicitly discard if truly not needed
+_ = qec_round(q);  // Explicit discard - you meant to ignore it
+```
+
+The absence of a `?`-like operator is intentional. When you propagate an error, Zlup
+wants you to think about it — add context, log diagnostics, or transform it. This
+makes error handling visible, auditable, and meaningful rather than mechanical.
+
+**Why this matters for quantum computing:**
+
+In classical computing, a propagated error eventually reaches a handler somewhere.
+In quantum computing, by the time an error surfaces, the quantum state may be
+irretrievably corrupted. Understanding *where* and *why* things went wrong is
+essential for:
+- Debugging QEC implementations
+- Tuning error thresholds
+- Identifying systematic hardware issues
+- Post-mortem analysis of failed computations
+
+Silent or mechanical error propagation loses this crucial information.
+
+##### Promoting Faults to Errors
+
+Sometimes accumulated faults cross a threshold where they should become a logical error.
+Zlup supports **promoting faults to errors** when the situation warrants it:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn qec_round(q: []qubit) try -> ([]QuantumFault, QecError!Syndrome) {
+    // Run the circuit, collecting faults
+    faults, syndrome := run_stabilizers(q);
+
+    // Too many faults? Promote to a classical error
+    if (faults.len > max_correctable) {
+        return error.TooManyFaults;  // Stops execution, returns collected faults
+    }
+
+    // Faults within tolerance - continue
+    return syndrome;
+}
+
+// Caller receives both the faults that occurred AND the error/result
+faults, result := qec_round(q);
+
+result catch |err| {
+    // err might be TooManyFaults - we still have access to `faults`
+    // to see what happened before the threshold was crossed
+    log("QEC failed with {} faults: {}", faults.len, err);
+    return;
+};
+```
+
+This pattern allows:
+- **Graceful degradation**: Collect faults until a threshold, then fail cleanly
+- **Diagnostic information**: Even on failure, you know what faults occurred
+- **Policy flexibility**: Different QEC codes can set different thresholds
+
+The key insight: faults don't automatically become errors. Your code decides when
+accumulated faults constitute a logical failure, making the policy explicit and tunable.
+
+##### Return Type Syntax
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Single error union: either E or T (Zig style)
+E!T
+
+// Quantum faults + classical errors with value (QEC pattern)
+// Returns: ([]QuantumFault, ClassicalError!T)
+([]QuantumFault, DecodeError!T)
+```
+
+##### Two Error Handling Modes
+
+**`try!` — Stop on First Error/Fault (Traditional/Strict)**
+
+Matches Zig/Rust semantics. Any error or fault stops execution immediately.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn strict_circuit(q: []qubit) try! -> QuantumFault!unit {
+    h q[0];           // if fault occurs, return immediately
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);    // only runs if h succeeded
+}
+
+// Caller handles single fault
+strict_circuit(q) catch |fault| {
+    log("Failed: {} on qubit {}", fault.type, fault.qubit);
+};
+```
+
+**`try` — Collect Faults, Stop on Errors (QEC Pattern)**
+
+Quantum-specific extension:
+- Quantum faults: collected into array, execution continues
+- Classical errors: stops execution, returns collected faults + error
+
+##### Summary: Behavior by Mode
+
+| Mode | Quantum Fault | Classical Error | Return Type |
+|------|---------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| `try!` | **Stops immediately** | **Stops immediately** | `E!T` |
+| `try` | Collected, continues | Stops, returns collected faults | `([]QuantumFault, ClassicalE!T)` |
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn qec_round(q: []qubit) try -> ([]QuantumFault, DecodeError!Syndrome) {
+    // Quantum faults - collected, continues
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);     // Leakage detected → recorded, keeps going
+    cx (q[1], q[2]);     // QubitLoss detected → recorded, keeps going
+
+    syndrome := mz([2]u1) [q[3], q[4]];
+
+    // Classical error - stops execution, returns collected faults
+    correction := decode(syndrome);  // WeightTooHigh → STOP
+
+    apply(correction, q);
+    return syndrome;
+}
+```
+
+##### Caller Side
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+faults, result := qec_round(q);
+
+// faults: []QuantumFault - all quantum faults detected during execution
+// result: DecodeError!Syndrome - either error that stopped us, or final value
+
+result catch |err| {
+    log("Classical error: {}", err);
+    log("Quantum faults before failure: {}", faults);
+    return;
+};
+
+// Success path - unwrap result
+syndrome := result.!;
+if (faults.len > 0) {
+    // Faults may or may not have caused logical errors
+    corrections := analyze_faults(faults);
+    apply_corrections(q, corrections);
+}
+```
+
+##### Block Syntax
+
+Error handling can also be scoped to blocks within functions:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn complex_circuit(q: []qubit) -> unit {
+    // Strict section - any error stops
+    try! {
+        prepare_logical_zero(q);
+        logical_h(q);
+    } catch |err| {
+        abort("Logical prep failed: {}", err);
+    }
+
+    // QEC section - soft errors collected, hard errors stop
+    soft_errors, result := try {
+        cx (q[0], q[3]);
+        cx (q[1], q[3]);
+        syndrome := mz([2]u1) [q[3], q[4]];
+        decode(syndrome)  // hard error stops here
+    };
+
+    result catch |hard_err| {
+        log("Decode failed: {}", hard_err);
+        return;
+    };
+
+    if (soft_errors.len > 0) {
+        apply_corrections(q, soft_errors);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+##### Rich Error Context
+
+Errors automatically carry context (compiler-injected):
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+soft_errors, result := qec_round(q);
+
+for (soft_errors) |err| {
+    switch (err) {
+        .Leakage => |ctx| {
+            log("Leakage in {} on qubit {}", ctx.gate, ctx.qubit);
+            reset_qubit(q[ctx.qubit]);
+        },
+        .QubitLoss => |ctx| {
+            log("Lost qubit {} during {}", ctx.qubit, ctx.gate);
+            flag_qubit_lost(ctx.qubit);
+        },
+        else => log_error(err),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+##### Classical-Only Functions
+
+Functions without quantum operations use standard Zig-style error handling:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn decode(syndrome: []const bit) -> DecodeError!Correction {
+    if (weight(syndrome) > threshold) {
+        return error.WeightTooHigh;
+    }
+    return compute_correction(syndrome);
+}
+
+fn run_with_recovery(code: *SurfaceCode) -> unit {
+    syndrome := code.syndrome_round();
+
+    correction := decode(syndrome) catch |err| switch (err) {
+        error.WeightTooHigh => Correction.identity,
+        error.SyndromeAmbiguous => {
+            return run_with_recovery(code);
+        },
+    };
+
+    apply(correction, code.data);
+}
+```
+
+##### Explicit Returns Required
+
+Zlup requires the `return` keyword for all function returns. Unlike Rust, which uses
+implicit trailing expressions (the last expression without a semicolon becomes the
+return value), Zlup makes returns explicit:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// INVALID in Zlup (valid in Rust): implicit return
+fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
+    a + b  // Rust would return this implicitly - Zlup requires explicit return
+}
+
+// VALID in Zlup: explicit return
+fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
+    return a + b;
+}
+```
+
+**Why require explicit returns?**
+
+1. **Clarity of intent**: An explicit `return` makes it unambiguous that you intend
+   to exit the function with a value. In Rust, forgetting a semicolon can accidentally
+   change a statement into a return expression.
+
+2. **Consistency**: Every return looks the same, whether it's at the end of the function,
+   in the middle, or inside a conditional. No special rules for "trailing position."
+
+3. **NASA Power of 10 alignment**: Rule 1 emphasizes simple control flow. Explicit
+   returns make control flow obvious — you can grep for `return` to find all exit points.
+
+4. **Error handling clarity**: When combined with error handling, explicit returns
+   make it clear what value is being returned:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn qec_round(q: []qubit) try -> ([]QuantumFault, DecodeError!Syndrome) {
+    faults, syndrome := run_stabilizers(q);
+
+    if (faults.len > threshold) {
+        return error.TooManyFaults;  // Clearly returning an error
+    }
+
+    return syndrome;  // Clearly returning success value
+}
+```
+
+5. **Auditable code**: In safety-critical quantum computing, code reviewers can easily
+   verify that every code path has an explicit return with the correct type.
+
+**Block expressions vs function returns:**
+
+Note that block expressions (like `if` expressions used for assignment) can still
+evaluate to values — the explicit return requirement applies to *function* returns:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Block expression for assignment - this is fine
+x := if (condition) { 42 } else { 0 };
+
+// But function must use explicit return
+fn get_value(condition: bool) -> i32 {
+    return if (condition) { 42 } else { 0 };
+}
+```
+
+**Unit functions require explicit return:**
+
+All functions must explicitly return their value, including unit functions. For unit
+functions, `return;` is shorthand for `return unit;` and is the preferred style:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// INVALID: unit function without return
+fn do_work() -> unit {
+    process_data();
+}
+
+// VALID: unit function with explicit return
+fn do_work() -> unit {
+    process_data();
+    return;  // Preferred: return; is shorthand for return unit;
+}
+```
+
+This requirement serves several purposes:
+
+1. **Uniform control flow**: Every function has an explicit exit point, making code flow
+   analysis and review easier.
+
+2. **Prevent accidental fallthrough**: Without explicit returns, it's easy to forget that
+   control reaches the end of a function. With `return;`, you're forced to think about it.
+
+3. **NASA Power of 10 compliance**: All control flow is explicit. There's no implicit
+   "fall off the end" behavior.
+
+4. **Exception**: Only `never` functions (functions that never return normally, like
+   `panic()` or `abort()`) are exempt from this requirement.
+
+> **Note:** `return;` without a value is only valid in functions returning `unit`.
+> Using `return;` in a function with a non-unit return type is a compile error.
+
+> **Implementation note:** The semantic analyzer should enforce that:
+> 1. All functions have explicit `return` statements on all code paths
+> 2. Trailing expressions in function bodies are not treated as implicit returns
+> 3. Missing returns produce clear compile-time errors
+> 4. `return;` is only allowed in unit-returning functions
+
+##### Design Rationale
+
+| Principle | Implementation |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Explicit over implicit | Must use `try`/`try!`/`catch` — no silent error dropping |
+| Explicit returns | Use `return` keyword, not implicit trailing expressions |
+| NASA Power of 10 | All return values checked, errors are values |
+| QEC-friendly | Quantum faults collected, classical errors stop execution |
+| Faults vs Errors | `fault` for faults (physical), `error` for errors (logical) |
+| Rich diagnostics | Faults/errors carry gate, qubit, and location context |
+| Zig-aligned | `E!T` syntax, `catch` handling, error sets |

+## Syntax Reference
+
+### Declarations
+
+Zlup uses `:=` (walrus operator) for type-inferred declarations and `: T =` for explicit types.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Constants (type inferred from value)
+pi := 3.14159;                    // f64 inferred
+num_qubits := 17;                 // integer inferred
+
+// Constants (explicit type)
+pi: f64 = 3.14159;
+num_qubits: u32 = 17;
+
+// Mutable variables
+mut count := 0;                   // type inferred
+mut count: u32 = 0;               // explicit type
+mut syndrome: [8]bit = undefined;
+
+// Type declarations (constructor makes type obvious)
+Point := struct { x: f64, y: f64 };
+Color := enum { Red, Green, Blue };
+QubitError := error { Leakage, QubitLoss, GateFailure };
+
+// Set literals
+targets := set { q[0], q[1], q[2] };
+
+// Public exports
+pub Config := struct { ... };
+pub fn process() -> unit { ... }
+```
+
+#### Declaration Mental Model
+
+| Syntax | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| `name := value` | Type inferred from value |
+| `name: T = value` | Explicit type annotation |
+| `mut name := value` | Mutable, type inferred |
+| `mut name: T = value` | Mutable, explicit type |
+| `Name := struct { }` | Type definition (constructor infers "type") |
+
+### Types
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Primitives - arbitrary-width integers (1-128 bits, like Zig)
+u1, u2, u3, ..., u128       // Unsigned N-bit integers
+i1, i2, i3, ..., i128       // Signed N-bit integers
+usize, isize                // Pointer-sized integers
+f32, f64                     // Floats
+a64                          // Angle (backed by PECOS Angle64)
+bool                         // Boolean
+unit                         // Unit type (single value)
+
+// Quantum types
+qubit                        // Single qubit (abstract)
+bit                          // Classical bit (measurement result)
+Alloc                        // Qubit allocator
+qalloc(N)                     // Allocator with capacity N (comptime)
+// Classical data uses standard array types:
+[N]bit                       // Array of classical bits
+[N]u8                        // Array of bytes
+
+// Compound types
+[N]T                         // Array of N elements of type T
+[]T                          // Slice (runtime-sized view)
+*T                           // Pointer to T
+?T                           // Optional (T or none)
+E!T                          // Error union (error E or value T) - Zig style
+[]E!T                        // Collected errors plus value (QEC extension)
+Set(T)                       // Unordered set of unique elements
+
+// User-defined
+struct { ... }
+enum { ... }
+union(enum) { ... }
+error { ... }                // Error set definition
+```
+
+### Type Ascription
+
+Type ascription uses a space-separated postfix syntax, providing a clean and consistent way to specify types on expressions:
+
+```zlup
+// Literal type ascription
+x := 42 u32;           // 42 as u32
+y := 100 i64;          // 100 as i64
+pi := 3.14159 f64;     // Float as f64
+
+// Expression type ascription (evaluates, then converts)
+half := 1/2 f64;       // 0.5 (division yields float, then typed)
+quarter := 1/4 f64;    // 0.25 (non-exact division automatically floats)
+
+// Angle unit suffix (same pattern)
+angle := 1/4 turns;    // Quarter turn
+theta := 3.14159 rad;  // Radians
+```
+
+**Design rationale:**
+
+- **Unified syntax**: Type suffixes (`42 u32`), angle units (`1/4 turns`), and type ascription all use the same postfix pattern
+- **Reads naturally**: "42 as u32", "one quarter turns"
+- **No truncation surprises**: Integer division `1/4` produces `0.25` (float) when the result isn't exact, not `0` (truncated)
+- **Explicit over implicit**: The type/unit is always visible at the expression site
+
+This differs from Zig's `@as(u32, 42)` builtin in favor of the more readable postfix form.
+
+### Angle Literals
+
+Angles require explicit units—no implicit radians or degrees:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Turns (native unit) - 1 turn = full rotation
+rz(1/4 turns) q[0];      // Quarter turn
+rz(1/8 turns) q[0];      // T gate (eighth turn)
+rz(0.5 turns) q[0];      // Half turn (Z gate equivalent)
+
+// Radians (for those who prefer mathematical convention)
+rz(std.f64.pi/4 rad) q[0];   // pi/4 radians = 1/8 turns
+rz(std.f64.pi/2 rad) q[0];   // pi/2 radians = 1/4 turns
+
+// Fractions preferred over decimals (exact representation)
+rz(1/4 turns) q[0];      // Exact
+rz(0.25 turns) q[0];     // Also works, but 1/4 is clearer
+```
+
+**Design rationale:**
+
+- **Explicit units prevent bugs**: No confusion about radians vs degrees vs turns (Mars Climate Orbiter!)
+- **Turns as native**: Common QEC angles are simple fractions (1/4, 1/8, 1/2)
+- **Backed by PECOS Angle64**: Uses fixed-point representation that's exact for fractions of turns
+- **Fractions encouraged**: `1/4 turns` is both more readable and more precise than `0.25 turns`
+
+**Angle64 Internal Representation:**
+
+The `a64` type uses a 64-bit fixed-point representation where the full range [0, 2^64) maps to [0, 1) turns:
+
+| Angle | Fixed-Point Value | Common Use |
+|-------|------------------|------------|
+| 0 turns | 0 | Identity |
+| 1/8 turns | 2^61 | T-gate (π/4 rad) |
+| 1/4 turns | 2^62 | S-gate (π/2 rad) |
+| 1/2 turns | 2^63 | Z-gate (π rad) |
+
+This representation provides:
+- **Exact arithmetic** for all dyadic fractions (powers of 2 in denominator)
+- **Wrapping at full turn** via natural integer overflow
+- **Efficient operations** using integer arithmetic
+- **No floating-point precision issues** for common quantum angles
+
+Pre-defined constants in `zlup-ffi`:
+```rust
+Angle64::ZERO          // 0 turns
+Angle64::EIGHTH_TURN   // 1/8 turns (T-gate)
+Angle64::QUARTER_TURN  // 1/4 turns (S-gate)
+Angle64::HALF_TURN     // 1/2 turns (Z-gate)
+```
+
+### Control Flow
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Conditionals
+if condition {
+    // ...
+} else if other {
+    // ...
+} else {
+    // ...
+}
+
+// If as expression
+max := if a > b { a } else { b };
+
+// Bounded for loop (preferred - NASA Rule 2)
+for i in 0..n {
+    process(i);
+}
+
+// For with collection
+for item in items {
+    use(item);
+}
+
+// For with index (enumerate)
+for i, item in items {
+    use(i, item);
+}
+
+// Switch
+switch (value) {
+    0 => handle_zero(),
+    1..10 => handle_small(),
+    else => handle_other(),
+}
+
+// Labeled blocks (for break with value)
+result := blk: {
+    if early_exit { break :blk default_value; }
+    break :blk computed_value;
+};
+```
+
+### Quantum Operations
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Allocator operations
+mut base := qalloc(100);           // mut needed - will call .child()
+data := base.child(9);             // no mut needed - just applying gates
+pz data;                          // Prepare all slots
+
+// Single-qubit gates (lowercase names)
+h data[0];
+x data[1];
+z data[2];
+
+// Parameterized gates with explicit angle units
+rz(1/4 turns) data[0];           // Quarter turn (T² equivalent)
+rz(1/8 turns) data[0];           // T gate angle
+rx(1/4 turns) data[1];           // Quarter turn around X
+rz(std.f64.pi/4 rad) data[0];    // Same as 1/8 turns, in radians
+
+// Two-qubit gates
+cx (data[0], data[1]);
+cz(ancilla[0], data[0]);
+
+// Batch operations with set semantics (unordered)
+h { data[0], data[1], data[2] };   // Apply H to multiple qubits
+cx { (data[0], data[1]), (data[2], data[3]) };  // Multiple CX gates
+
+// Typed measurements with array semantics (ordered)
+r := mz(u1) data[0];                        // Single qubit → u1
+results := mz([2]u1) [data[0], data[1]];    // Multiple qubits → [2]u1 (explicit size)
+results := mz([4]u1) slice;                 // From slice (size must match)
+
+// Conditional operations
+if r == 1 {
+    x data[1];
+}
+```
+
+#### Batch vs Array Semantics
+
+Zlup distinguishes between unordered and ordered operations:
+
+| Syntax | Semantics | Use Case |
+|--------|-----------|----------|
+| `{ }` | Set/unordered | Batch gates (order doesn't matter) |
+| `[ ]` | Array/ordered | Measurements (result order matters) |
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Batch gate: order doesn't matter, all applied "simultaneously"
+h { q[0], q[1], q[2] };
+
+// Measurement: order matters, results[0] corresponds to q[0]
+results := mz([3]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2]];
+```
+
+### Tick Blocks (Parallel Layers)
+
+Tick blocks represent atomic time slices where operations execute in parallel. They act as **optimization barriers** - the optimizer cannot move operations across tick boundaries.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Basic tick block
+tick {
+    h data[0];
+    h data[1];
+}
+
+// Labeled tick
+tick syndrome_round {
+    cx({(data[0], ancilla[0]), (data[1], ancilla[1])});
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: Nested tick blocks are disallowed. A tick represents an atomic time slice, and nesting would create ambiguity about timing semantics. Use sequential ticks instead:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Sequential ticks (correct)
+tick layer1 { h({data[0], data[1]}); }
+tick layer2 { cx({(data[0], data[2]), (data[1], data[3])}); }
+```
+
+### Attributes
+
+Metadata can be attached to ticks and gates:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Single attribute
+@attr(round, 0)
+tick syndrome_check {
+    cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+}
+
+// Multiple attributes
+@attrs({round: 0, kind: "syndrome"})
+tick syndrome_check {
+    cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+}
+
+// Gate attributes
+@attrs({syndrome: "X", ancilla: true})
+cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+
+// Inline attributes on ticks
+tick @attr(round, 1) layer1 {
+    h data[0];
+}
+```
+
+### Optimization Barriers
+
+Zlup provides several mechanisms to control optimization, particularly important for QEC where gate ordering and timing can affect error correction.
+
+#### Preserve Attributes
+
+These attributes prevent the optimizer from modifying or removing operations:
+
+| Attribute | Purpose | Use Case |
+|-----------|---------|----------|
+| `@preserve` | Prevent any optimization | Debugging, calibration sequences |
+| `@timing` | Preserve timing relationships | Time-sensitive QEC protocols |
+| `@identity` | Keep intentional identity operations | Noise characterization, benchmarking |
+| `@noopt` | Disable all optimizations in scope | Development, debugging |
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Prevent gate cancellation
+@preserve
+h q[0];
+@preserve
+h q[0];  // Both H gates preserved, won't cancel
+
+// Preserve timing-critical sequence
+@timing {
+    cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+    mz(u1) ancilla[0];
+}
+
+// Keep intentional identity
+@identity {
+    x q[0];
+    x q[0];  // Won't be optimized away
+}
+
+// Disable optimization in block
+@noopt {
+    h q[0];
+    h q[0];
+    z q[0];  // Nothing optimized
+}
+```
+
+#### QEC Round Tracking
+
+The `@round(n)` attribute tracks QEC syndrome rounds, preventing gate cancellation across round boundaries:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Gates in different rounds won't cancel
+@round(0) {
+    h ancilla[0];
+    mz(u1) ancilla[0];
+}
+
+@round(1) {
+    h ancilla[0];  // Same gate, different round - won't cancel with round 0
+    mz(u1) ancilla[0];
+}
+```
+
+**Design rationale**: In QEC, the same gate sequence may appear in multiple rounds, but each round's operations must execute independently. `@round(n)` prevents the optimizer from incorrectly combining gates across logical round boundaries.
+
+#### Tick Blocks as Barriers
+
+Tick blocks are always optimization barriers - operations cannot be moved across tick boundaries:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+tick {
+    h q[0];
+}
+// Optimizer cannot move this H into the tick above
+h q[0];
+tick {
+    h q[0];
+}
+```
+
+This ensures that timing-critical sequences remain intact even when optimization is enabled.
+
+### Functions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Basic function
+fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
+    return a + b;
+}
+
+// Function with error return (Zig-style)
+fn divide(a: f64, b: f64) -> error{DivByZero}!f64 {
+    if b == 0 { return error.DivByZero; }
+    return a / b;
+}
+
+// Comptime parameters
+fn make_array(comptime T: type, comptime N: usize) -> [N]T {
+    return [_]T{0} ** N;
+}
+
+// Method syntax (Rust-style receivers)
+Counter := struct {
+    value: u32,
+
+    fn increment(&mut self) -> unit {
+        self.value += 1;
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Error-Handling Functions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// try! function: stop on first fault/error (traditional/strict)
+fn strict_circuit(q: []qubit) try! -> QuantumFault!unit {
+    h q[0];           // if fault occurs, return immediately
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);    // only runs if h succeeded
+}
+
+// try! with return value
+fn strict_measure(q: []qubit) try! -> QuantumFault![]u1 {
+    h q[0];
+    mz([2]u1) [q[0], q[1]]
+}
+
+// try function: collect faults, stop on errors (QEC pattern)
+fn qec_round(q: []qubit) try -> []QuantumFault!unit {
+    cx (q[0], q[3]);    // fault recorded, continues
+    cx (q[1], q[3]);    // runs regardless of previous faults
+}
+
+// try with return value
+fn qec_measure(q: []qubit) try -> []QuantumFault!u1 {
+    cx (q[0], q[3]);
+    mz(u1) q[3]
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Catch single fault/error
+strict_circuit(q) catch |fault| {
+    log("Fault: {}", fault);
+};
+
+// Destructure collected faults and value
+faults, result := qec_measure(q);
+
+// Error blocks within functions
+try! {
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+} catch |err| {
+    handle_error(err);
+};
+
+syndromes := try {
+    cx (q[0], q[3]);
+    cx (q[1], q[3]);
+};
+```
+

+
+## Implementation Architecture
+
+### Parsing Strategy: Recursive Descent
+
+We use recursive descent parsing rather than the visitor pattern for several reasons:
+
+1. **Simplicity**: Direct mapping from grammar to code
+2. **Explicitness**: Clear control flow, no hidden dispatch
+3. **Debuggability**: Easy to step through
+4. **NASA Power of 10**: Predictable call structure
+
+```rust
+// Example parser structure
+impl Parser {
+    fn parse_program(&mut self) -> Result<Program> {
+        let mut decls = Vec::new();
+
+        while !self.at_end() {
+            decls.push(self.parse_top_level_decl()?);
+        }
+
+        Ok(Program { declarations: decls })
+    }
+
+    fn parse_top_level_decl(&mut self) -> Result<Declaration> {
+        if self.check(Token::Const) {
+            self.parse_const_decl()
+        } else if self.check(Token::Var) {
+            self.parse_var_decl()
+        } else if self.check(Token::Fn) {
+            self.parse_fn_decl()
+        } else if self.check(Token::Struct) {
+            self.parse_struct_decl()
+        } else {
+            Err(self.error("expected declaration"))
+        }
+    }
+
+    fn parse_statement(&mut self) -> Result<Statement> {
+        // Direct dispatch based on current token
+        match self.current().kind {
+            Token::Const => self.parse_const_decl().map(Statement::Const),
+            Token::Var => self.parse_var_decl().map(Statement::Var),
+            Token::If => self.parse_if_stmt(),
+            Token::For => self.parse_for_stmt(),
+            Token::Return => self.parse_return_stmt(),
+            _ => self.parse_expr_stmt(),
+        }
+    }
+
+    // ... etc
+}
+```

+### HUGR vs PHIR: MLIR-Inspired IRs
+
+Both HUGR and PHIR are MLIR-inspired intermediate representations, but target different use cases:
+
+**HUGR (Hierarchical Unified Graph Representation)**
+- Used by TKET2 compiler and Guppy
+- Targets hardware/experimental backends
+- Rich optimization framework
+- Serializable for tool interop
+
+**PHIR (Program Hierarchical IR)**
+- Targets simulator backends
+- Optimized for simulation semantics
+- Used by PECOS simulation engines
+
+Compiling to both enables:
+1. **Hardware path**: Zlup → HUGR → TKET2 → Hardware
+2. **Simulation path**: Zlup → PHIR → PECOS simulators
+3. **Python path**: Zlup → SLR-AST → Guppy/QASM
+
+### AST Design (Rust)

+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. ~~**Recursion policy**: Disallow entirely (strict Power of 10) or allow with depth limits?~~ → Resolved: Recursion is unconditionally disallowed. This is fundamental to Zlup's "safe by constraint" memory model—not a strict mode option. Use `inline for` with comptime bounds or regular `for` with runtime bounds instead. Recursive algorithms should be implemented iteratively or in native Rust code called via FFI.
+
+2. ~~**Parallel blocks**: How to express `parallel { }` from SLR?~~ → Resolved: `tick { }` blocks
+
+3. ~~**Interop with Guppy**: Can we call Guppy functions from Zlup?~~ → Design doc: [future/guppy-compat.md](future/guppy-compat.md)
+   - Strategy: Guppy linter enforcing NASA Power of 10 constraints ("Reliable Guppy" subset)
+   - Mechanical conversion to Zlup when code passes lint
+   - The linter is valuable independently, even without Zlup adoption
+
+4. ~~**Standard library**: What should be in `@import("std")`?~~ → Design doc: [future/stdlib-design.md](future/stdlib-design.md)
+   - Modules: math, bits, mem, qec, testing, ffi
+   - Zig-style import semantics with Rust/Python syntax
+   - Comptime-first, bounded containers, QEC-focused
+
+5. ~~**Build system**: Zig uses `build.zig`, what should we use?~~ → Implemented in `src/build.rs`
+   - `build.zlp` - the build system IS the language
+   - Full comptime power for build configuration
+   - Integrated Rust FFI library building
+   - Supports targets, optimization levels, build steps, and `-Dname=value` options
+
+6. ~~**Quantum fault handling**: How to handle gate faults (leakage, loss, etc.)?~~ → Resolved:
+   - `try { }` collects quantum faults (QEC pattern), returns `([]QuantumFault, ClassicalE!T)`
+   - `try! { }` stops on first fault/error (traditional), returns `E!T`
+   - `fn foo() try -> ...` and `fn foo() try! -> E!T` function syntax
+   - `fault { }` for faults (physical), `error { }` for errors (logical)
+   - Faults/errors carry rich context (gate, qubits, location)
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Zlup is an experimental language combining Zig semantics with Rust/Python-flavored syntax.
+Inspired by Rust's commitment to safety and Zig's demonstration that expressivity doesn't
+require complexity or magic, it explores achieving powerful, safe programs through simplicity
+and constraints.
+
+It complements Guppy by providing:
+
+- **Expressivity through simplicity**: Powerful programs without hidden behavior or magic
+- **Safety through constraints**: A naturally safe language given its restrictions
+- **Rust-native workflows**: Direct integration with PECOS's Rust simulation backends
+- **QEC reliability**: NASA Power of 10 principles for the reliability and predictability
+  that large-scale quantum error correction demands
+
+Zlup bridges to Python via SLR-AST JSON and targets hardware via HUGR (shared with Guppy),
+enabling interoperability across the PECOS ecosystem while Guppy remains the primary
+user-facing quantum programming language.

+- Static type checking with quantum-aware semantics
+- Qubit state tracking (prepared/unprepared lifecycle)
+- NASA Power of 10 compliance options (strict mode)
+- Comptime evaluation
+- Batch-oriented quantum gate API
+
+## Recent Work Completed
+
+### Error Handling Documentation (February 2026)
+
+Created comprehensive error handling tutorial at `docs/tutorial-error-handling.md`:
+- Faults vs Errors distinction with practical explanations
+- Error sets and fault sets definitions and usage
+- Error union syntax (`E!T` and `[]E!T`)
+- `try` (collect mode) vs `try!` (propagate mode) blocks
+- Try functions with both modes
+- The explicit handling philosophy (no `?` operator)
+- Four practical QEC examples:
+  - Basic syndrome extraction
+  - Full QEC round with threshold
+  - Promoting faults to errors
+  - Rich fault context inspection
+- Quick reference and best practices
+
+Updated `docs/tutorial.md` to reference the new detailed guide.
+
+### Alias MVP Implementation (February 2026)
+
+Added the `alias` keyword for creating safe slice views with overlap detection:
+
+**Grammar changes:**
+- Added `alias` to reserved keywords
+- Added `alias_stmt = { "alias" ~ identifier ~ ":=" ~ expr ~ ";" }`
+
+**AST changes:**
+- Added `AliasBinding` struct with name, source, location
+- Added `Stmt::Alias(AliasBinding)` variant
+
+**Semantic analysis:**
+- Added `AliasInfo` struct for tracking alias metadata (name, source, range, location)
+- Added `aliases: BTreeMap<String, AliasInfo>` to SemanticAnalyzer
+- Implemented `analyze_alias()` with overlap detection
+- Added `extract_alias_source_info()` for parsing slice expressions
+- Added `ranges_overlap()` helper for range intersection testing
+- New error types: `OverlappingAlias`, `AliasSourceNotSlice`, `AliasRangeNotComptime`
+
+**MVP scope:**
+- Immutable aliases only (no `mut alias`)
+- Static ranges only (must be comptime-evaluable)
+- Error on any overlap (simpler than mutable-only rule)
+
+**Files modified:**
+- `src/zluppy.pest` - grammar rules
+- `src/ast.rs` - AliasBinding, Stmt::Alias
+- `src/parser.rs` - parse_alias_stmt()
+- `src/semantic.rs` - AliasInfo, analyze_alias(), overlap detection
+- `src/pretty.rs` - print_alias_binding()
+- `src/comptime.rs` - eval alias as source expression
+
+### Phase 3: Comptime Features (February 2026)
+
+Completed the full comptime implementation plan with four features:
+
+**1. Inline For Loop Unrolling:**
+- `inline for i in 0..N { }` unrolls at compile time in `optimize.rs`
+- Semantic validation in `semantic.rs`:
+  - `InlineForRangeNotComptime` - range must be comptime-evaluable
+  - `BreakInInlineFor` - break disallowed in inline for
+  - `ContinueInInlineFor` - continue disallowed in inline for
+- Recursive unrolling for nested inline for loops
+- Variable substitution replaces loop variable with concrete values
+
+**2. Advanced Builtins (snake_case naming):**
+- `@type_info(T)` - returns TypeInfo struct with kind, name, fields, variants
+- `@field_names(T)` - returns array of struct field name strings
+- `@enum_fields(T)` - returns array of enum variant name strings
+- `@type_from_info(info)` - constructs Type from TypeInfo (reverse of @type_info)
+- Both snake_case and camelCase names supported; snake_case preferred
+
+**3. Generic Type Instantiation:**
+- Functions with `comptime` params get specialized versions at call sites
+- Cache: `generic_instantiations: BTreeMap<(String, String), String>` in SemanticAnalyzer
+- Mangled names: `make_array__u32_4` for `make_array(u32, 4)`
+- Original declarations stored for cloning and substitution
+
+**4. Comptime Function Memoization:**
+- `memo_cache: BTreeMap<(String, String), ComptimeValue>` in ComptimeEvaluator
+- Structural type serialization for cache keys (handles anonymous structs correctly)
+- Avoids redundant evaluation when same function called with same args
+
+**Files modified:**
+- `src/comptime.rs` - memoization, advanced builtins, TypeInfoKind enum
+- `src/semantic.rs` - inline for validation, generic instantiation, error types
+- `src/optimize.rs` - inline for unrolling pass
+- `src/zluppy.pest` - `comptime_modifier` rule for parser
+- `src/parser.rs` - comptime parameter detection
+
+### Error Handling Improvements (February 2026)
+
+Enhanced the error handling type system with several improvements:
+
+**Grammar Rule Ordering Fix:**
+- Fixed parser ambiguity where `error_set_decl` and `fault_set_decl` were being parsed as bindings
+- Reordered `top_level_decl` rules to try error/fault set declarations before general bindings
+- Now `GateFaults := fault { ... }` correctly parses as `FaultSetDecl`, not `Binding`
+
+**Error/Fault Set Union Support:**
+- Error sets can be combined with `|` operator: `IoError | NetworkError`
+- Fault sets can be combined similarly: `GateFaults | MeasurementFaults`
+- Unions combine variant names, deduplicating common variants
+- Type checking verifies operands are compatible error/fault sets
+
+**Associated Data Types:**
+- Error and fault variants can now have associated data types
+- Example: `FileError := error { NotFound: struct { path: []u8 }, PermissionDenied };`
+- Types are resolved during semantic analysis and stored in `Type::ErrorSet`/`Type::FaultSet`
+- Imported modules store variant names without associated types (resolved locally)
+
+**Try Block Type Inference:**
+- `try {}` (collect mode) returns `[]AnyError!T` - slice of error unions
+- `try! {}` (propagate mode) returns `AnyError!T` - single error union
+- With catch clause, the result type is based on the body type
+- Uses `Type::AnyError` as a conservative error type (full inference is future work)
+
+### Parallelism Analysis Module (February 2026)
+
+Added `src/analysis.rs` providing constraint-based parallelism analysis:
+
+**Analysis Passes:**
+- `AllocatorAnalysis`: Tracks allocator lifetimes and accessibility scopes
+- `OperationTagger`: Tags each quantum operation with resources it touches
+- `DependencyGraph`: Builds edges between dependent operations
+- `parallel_layers()`: Extracts maximal independent operation sets
+
+**CLI Integration:**
+- `zlup analyze program.zlp` - Analyze a program for parallelism
+- `--format json` - Machine-readable output
+- `--verbose` - Show dependency graph
+
+**Design Philosophy:**
+Parallelism follows from type signatures and allocator ownership:
+- No allocator param → pure classical → parallelizable with any quantum
+- Different allocator params → different qubits → independent
+- Scopes act as implicit barriers
+
+### Safe-by-Constraint Memory Model (February 2026)
+
+Implemented unconditional safety checks that don't require strict mode:
+
+**Escape Analysis:**
+- Functions cannot return references/slices to local variables
+- `check_no_local_escape()` runs on all return statements
+- Parameters are safe (caller owns the data)
+
+**Recursion Prevention:**
+- All recursion is rejected (direct and mutual)
+- Tracking always enabled, not just in strict mode
+- `RecursionTracker` with `enter_function()`/`exit_function()`
+
+**@swap Validation:**
+- Requires exactly 2 pointer arguments
+- Types must match
+- Proper error messages
+
+### Slice Type System (February 2026)
+
+**Type Distinction:**
+- `[N]T` = Array (fixed size, known at compile time)
+- `[]T` = Slice (dynamic view into memory)
+- These are distinct types - arrays don't implicitly coerce to slices
+
+**Slice Syntax:**
+- `arr[0..5]` - slice from index 0 to 4
+- `arr[2..]` - slice from index 2 to end
+- `arr[..5]` - slice from start to index 4
+- `arr[..]` - full slice (converts array to slice)
+
+**Re-slicing:**
+- `slice[0..2]` on a slice returns a slice
+- `slice[0]` on a slice returns the element type
+- Chained slicing works: `arr[0..10][2..5][0..2]`
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Parser: `parse_range_expr()` for range syntax
+- Semantic: `[]T` parsed as `Type::Slice`, not `Type::Array { size: None }`
+- Type checking: `is_slice_op` detection in Index expression
+
+### Gate Naming Cleanup (February 2026)
+
+**Removed:**
+- `s` and `sdg` gate names (replaced with `sz`/`szdg` per PECOS naming conventions)
+- `GateKind::S` and `GateKind::Sdg` from AST
+
+**Correct Names:**
+- `sz` = S gate (sqrt of Z)
+- `szdg` = S-dagger gate
+
+**Updated Files:**
+- `ast.rs` - removed enum variants
+- `parser.rs` - updated gate name mapping
+- `semantic.rs` - updated get_gate_info()
+- `optimize.rs` - updated cancellation rules
+- All codegen files (slr.rs, qasm.rs, phir.rs)
+- Documentation (syntax.md, tutorial.md, README.md)
+
+### Deterministic Compilation (February 2026)
+
+- Replaced `HashMap`/`HashSet` with `BTreeMap`/`BTreeSet` throughout
+- Ensures consistent output order across compilations
+- Files: semantic.rs, module.rs, comptime.rs, optimize.rs, linter.rs, build.rs, all codegens
+
+### Duplicate Qubit Detection in Measurements (February 2026)
+
+- Extended tick block duplicate detection to include `Expr::Measure`
+- Measurements on the same qubit in parallel are now caught
+- Added to `collect_qubit_ids_from_expr()`
+
+### Boolean Literal Parsing Fix
+
+Fixed a parser issue where boolean literals on the LEFT side of `and`/`or` operators failed to parse (e.g., `true and y` failed but `y and true` worked).
+
+**Root cause**: Pest's implicit `WHITESPACE` rule inserted whitespace matching between elements, which interfered with keyword-based operator matching when the left operand was a keyword-like literal (`true`, `false`).
+
+**Solution**: Created a compound-atomic `atom` rule in `zluppy.pest` to wrap leaf expressions (literals, identifiers) that don't recursively contain `expr`. This prevents implicit whitespace from interfering with keyword operator matching while keeping recursive expressions (like `paren_expr`) outside the compound-atomic context.
+
+**Files modified:**
+- `zluppy.pest`: Added `atom` rule with compound-atomic modifier (`${ }`)
+- `parser.rs`: Added `Rule::atom` handling
+- `optimize.rs`: Removed outdated comments about the parsing limitation
+
+### Advanced Optimization Framework
+
+Added a comprehensive optimization framework with QEC-aware barriers:
+
+**Optimization passes in `src/optimize.rs`:**
+- Constant folding (arithmetic, boolean, comparison expressions)
+- Dead code elimination (unreachable code after return/break)
+- Gate cancellation (self-inverse gates like H·H = I, X·X = I)
+
+**Optimization barriers for QEC:**
+- `@preserve` - Prevent any optimization on marked operations
+- `@timing` - Preserve timing relationships
+- `@identity` - Keep intentional identity operations
+- `@noopt` - Disable all optimizations in scope
+- `@round(n)` - QEC round tracking, prevents cross-round gate cancellation
+
+**Tick blocks as barriers:**
+- `tick {}` blocks always act as optimization barriers
+- Operations cannot be moved across tick boundaries
+- Nested tick blocks are now disallowed (semantic error)
+
+### Build System Infrastructure
+
+Added `build.zlp` infrastructure in `src/build.rs`:
+- `Target` enum: x86_64, aarch64, wasm32, etc.
+- `Optimize` enum: Debug, ReleaseSafe, ReleaseFast, ReleaseSmall
+- `Build` struct with addExecutable, addLibrary, addTest, addStep methods
+- `BuildRunner` for executing build steps
+- Support for `-Dname=value` options
+
+### 1. Numeric Literal Type Suffixes
+- Added support for type suffixes on numeric literals: `42u32`, `1.5f32`, `0xFF_u16`
+- Files modified: `zluppy.pest`, `parser.rs`, `ast.rs`, `semantic.rs`
+- Suffixes are parsed and used for type inference in expressions
+
+### 2. Strict Mode Qubit Duplicate Detection in Tick Blocks
+- Added `DuplicateQubitInTick` error for detecting when the same qubit is used multiple times in a tick block
+- Tick blocks represent parallel quantum operations - same qubit can't be targeted twice
+- Only enforced in strict mode (NASA Power of 10 compliance)
+- Added helper methods: `check_duplicate_qubits_in_tick()`, `collect_qubit_ids_from_stmt()`, `collect_qubit_ids_from_expr()`
+
+### 3. Break/Continue Loop Validation
+- Added `loop_depth` tracking to `SemanticAnalyzer`
+- Added `BreakContinueOutsideLoop` error for break/continue statements outside loops
+- Properly tracks nested loop depth for for loops
+
+### 4. Type Inference from Range Expressions in For Loops
+- Added `infer_for_range_type()` helper method
+- For loops now infer the loop variable type from the range expression
+- `for i in 0u32..10u32` correctly infers `i` as `u32`
+- Supports both `ForRange::Range` and `ForRange::Collection`
+
+### 5. Comptime Evaluation of Array Sizes
+- Array type sizes are now evaluated at compile time
+- `[10]u32` correctly resolves to `Type::Array { size: Some(10) }`
+- Uses `ComptimeEvaluator` for evaluation
+
+### 6. Const Propagation for Array Sizes
+- Constants are now evaluated at comptime and stored in `comptime_values` HashMap
+- Array sizes can reference values: `N := 10; mut arr: [N]u32`
+- Supports chained references: `A := 4; B := A; mut arr: [B]u32`
+
+## Current Test Status
+
+All tests pass:
+- 621 library tests (including alias, comptime, inline-for tests)
+- 16 main binary tests
+- 48 CLI integration tests
+- 174 proptest integration tests
+- 9 doctests
+- **Total: 868 tests**
+
+## Remaining TODOs in Code
+
+### semantic.rs
+1. ~~**Line ~1940**: `// TODO: Implement proper error set type`~~ **FIXED**
+   - ~~Error values currently return `Type::Unknown`~~
+   - ~~Should track actual error set types for better type safety~~
+   - Error values now properly return `Type::ErrorSet` with the correct error set name and variants
+   - Module-exported error sets now include variant names for proper lookup
+   - Type checking now verifies error value assignments match expected error union types
+
+2. **Line ~2835**: `// TODO: Extract actual function signature from AST`
+   - Imported module functions have empty signatures
+   - Should extract actual parameter and return types
+
+### parser.rs
+1. **Line ~1855**: `// TODO: Parse struct body for type definition`
+   - Struct types used in declarations don't parse their full body
+
+2. ~~**Lines ~2228, ~2236**: `// TODO: parse sentinel for [*:0] pointers`~~ **FIXED**
+   - ~~Sentinel-terminated pointer syntax not fully implemented~~
+   - Now supports arbitrary sentinel values: `[*:expr]T` for pointers, `[N:expr]T` for arrays
+   - Added grammar rule `pointer_prefix` for flexible sentinel parsing
+   - Examples: `[*:0]u8`, `[*:255]u8`, `[10:0]u8`, `[:0]u8`
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Current State (February 2026)
+
+**Completed:**
+- Phase 1 (Core Language): Parser, basic types, control flow, quantum ops ✓
+- Phase 2 (Type System): Type checking, allocator validation, error unions ✓
+- Phase 3 (Comptime): Inline for, advanced builtins, generic instantiation, memoization ✓
+- Alias MVP: Safe slice views with overlap detection ✓
+- Tooling: LSP, formatter, linter ✓
+- Codegens: SLR-AST, QASM, HUGR ✓
+
+**In Progress:**
+- Phase 4 (Integration): PyO3 bindings working, PHIR planned
+- Phase 5 (Tooling): Doc generator and test runner planned
+
+### Immediate Priorities (Polish & Stability)
+
+1. **Parser error recovery** - Unknown gate names currently panic; should return proper errors
+
+2. **Module function signature extraction** - Extract actual function signatures from imported modules for better type checking
+
+3. **Improve type display names** - Better error messages for complex types (arrays, slices, functions)
+
+### Short-term (Feature Completion)
+
+4. **Array bounds checking** - Add compile-time bounds checking when array size is known
+
+5. **Documentation generator** - Generate docs from `///` comments
+
+6. **Built-in test runner** - `zlup test` command for running test blocks
+
+### Architectural Decision: Custom Gates
+
+The [Custom Gates Design](future/custom-gates-design.md) proposes a significant rethink of how gates work:
+
+- **All gates become target-provided** (including `h`, `cx`, `pz`, `mz`)
+- **`std.gates` becomes declarations**, not built-ins
+- **Composite gates** allow full subroutines (prep, measurement, control flow)
+- **Compile-time target validation** against target gate sets
+- **IDE support** via project config and `@import("target")`
+
+**Impact if pursued:**
+- Changes how every quantum operation works
+- Requires target definition system
+- Affects IDE/LSP significantly
+- More flexible but more explicit (requires imports)
+
+**Decision needed:** Is this the right direction? If yes, it becomes high priority and affects subsequent work.
+
+### Medium-term (Post-Decision)
+
+If custom gates design is adopted:
+- Implement target definition system
+- Refactor `std.gates` as declarations
+- Update IDE/LSP for target awareness
+- Update all examples and docs
+
+If not adopted:
+- Continue with current built-in gate model
+- Focus on PHIR codegen
+- Guppy compatibility work
+
+### Longer-term
+
+- **PHIR codegen** - For PECOS simulator targeting
+- **Guppy compatibility** - Linter for "Reliable Guppy" subset, mechanical conversion
+- **Full stdlib** - math, bits, mem, qec, testing, ffi modules
+
+### Lower Priority (Nice to Have)
+
+- **Array-to-slice coercion** - Consider implicit array→slice in function arguments
+- **Struct body parsing** - Parse full struct bodies when used as types
+
+## Completed Features
+
+### FFI Support (External Functions)
+- Added `extern "C" fn name(params) -> type;` syntax for declaring external functions
+- Supports calling conventions: `"C"` (C ABI), `"Rust"` (Rust ABI)
+- Library linking via `@link("libname")` attribute
+- Useful for integrating classical decoders (MWPM, Union-Find, etc.)
+- Grammar: `extern_fn_decl` in `zluppy.pest`
+- AST: `ExternFnDecl` struct in `ast.rs`
+- SLR codegen generates `ExternDecl` and `ExternCall` nodes
+- C-compatible type mapping: primitives (`u8`, `u32`, etc.), pointers (`[*]T`), arrays
+
+### Gate Extensions
+- Added SWAP, ISWAP, and CCX (Toffoli) gates to `GateKind` enum
+- Updated SLR codegen to support new gates
+- Three-qubit gate support (CCX has arity 3)

+
+## Quantum Gate API
+
+The API uses DSL-style syntax (gate followed by target) with batch operations using set literals:
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Single-qubit gates (space-separated syntax)
+h q[0];
+x q[1];
+rz(pi/4) q[0];
+
+// Batch operations with set literals
+h {q[0], q[1], q[2]};
+cx {(q[0], q[1]), (q[2], q[3])};
+
+// Typed measurements
+r: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];                              // Single qubit
+results: [2]u1 = mz([2]u1) [q[0], q[1]];          // Multiple qubits -> [2]u1
+syndrome: u8 = mz(pack u8) [q[0], q[1], ...];     // Pack into integer
+```
+
+## Example Program
+
+```zlup
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Apply Hadamard to all qubits
+    h {q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]};
+
+    // Create entanglement
+    cx {(q[0], q[1]), (q[2], q[3])};
+
+    // Measure all qubits
+    results: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]];
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Important Notes for Future Sessions
+
+### Variable Naming
+Single-letter names like `s`, `h`, `x`, `y`, `z`, `t` are gate names. When writing tests or examples with slice/array parameters, use names like `data`, `arr`, `items` to avoid parsing conflicts.
+
+### Type System Key Points
+- `[]T` and `[N]T` are distinct types
+- Use `arr[..]` to convert array to slice
+- Escape analysis prevents returning slices of local variables
+- Parameters are safe to slice and return (caller owns data)
+
+### Safety Model
+The language is "safe by constraint" - no recursion, no dangling references, no escaping locals. These checks are always enabled, not just in strict mode.

+# Zlup Error Messages Guide
+
+This guide explains common error messages and how to fix them.
+
+## Parse Errors
+
+Parse errors occur when the code doesn't match the expected syntax.
+
+### "expected an identifier"
+
+**Cause:** A name (variable, function, type) was expected but something else was found.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn 123() -> unit { }    // Numbers can't be function names
+
+// Good
+fn my_func() -> unit { }
+```
+
+### "expected a type"
+
+**Cause:** A type annotation was expected after `:`.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x: = 42;               // Missing type
+
+// Good
+x := 42;               // Infer type
+x: u32 = 42;           // Explicit type
+```
+
+### "expected ';'"
+
+**Cause:** Statements must end with semicolons.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x := 42
+y := 10
+
+// Good
+x := 42;
+y := 10;
+```
+
+### "expected '{'"
+
+**Cause:** Blocks require curly braces.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+if condition
+    do_something();
+
+// Good
+if condition {
+    do_something();
+}
+```
+
+### "expected ')'" / "expected ']'"
+
+**Cause:** Unmatched parentheses or brackets.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+result := add(1, 2;
+array := [1, 2, 3;
+
+// Good
+result := add(1, 2);
+array := [1, 2, 3];
+```
+
+### "expected ':=' for binding or '=' for assignment"
+
+**Cause:** Incorrect binding syntax.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x = 42;                // This is assignment, not binding
+
+// Good
+x := 42;               // Binding (creates new variable)
+mut y := 0;
+y = 42;                // Assignment (to existing variable)
+```
+
+### "expected function parameter (name: Type)"
+
+**Cause:** Function parameters must have names and types.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn add(u32, u32) -> u32 { }
+
+// Good
+fn add(a: u32, b: u32) -> u32 { }
+```
+
+### "expected '-> T' return type"
+
+**Cause:** Function return type syntax uses arrow.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn add(a: u32, b: u32) u32 { }
+
+// Good
+fn add(a: u32, b: u32) -> u32 { }
+```
+
+---
+
+## Semantic Errors
+
+Semantic errors occur when code is syntactically valid but logically incorrect.
+
+### "undefined symbol 'name'"
+
+**Cause:** Using a variable, function, or type that hasn't been declared.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn main() -> unit {
+    y := x + 1;        // x not defined
+    return;
+}
+
+// Good
+fn main() -> unit {
+    x := 10;
+    y := x + 1;
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### "symbol 'name' already defined"
+
+**Cause:** Declaring the same name twice in the same scope.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x := 1;
+x := 2;                // Can't redeclare
+
+// Good
+x := 1;
+y := 2;                // Different name
+
+// Or use mut for reassignment
+mut x := 1;
+x = 2;                 // Assignment, not redeclaration
+```
+
+### "cannot assign to immutable variable 'name'"
+
+**Cause:** Trying to reassign a variable that wasn't declared with `mut`.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x := 1;
+x = 2;                 // x is immutable!
+
+// Good
+mut x := 1;
+x = 2;                 // x is mutable
+```
+
+### "unsafe blocks are forbidden"
+
+**Cause:** Using an `unsafe` block without the `--allow-unsafe` flag.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// This will fail without --allow-unsafe
+fn example() -> unit {
+    unsafe {
+        // ...
+    }
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+**Solution:** Either:
+1. Remove the unsafe block and rewrite using safe constructs
+2. Compile with `--allow-unsafe` flag (for development/testing)
+
+Production code should avoid unsafe blocks. They exist as an escape hatch for expert use cases.
+
+### "type mismatch: expected T, found U"
+
+**Cause:** Using a value of the wrong type.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x: u32 = "hello";      // String is not u32
+
+// Good
+x: u32 = 42;
+s: []const u8 = "hello";
+```
+
+### "cannot infer type for 'name'"
+
+**Cause:** Type cannot be determined from context.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+x := undefined;        // What type?
+
+// Good
+x: u32 = undefined;    // Explicit type
+```
+
+---
+
+## Gate Errors
+
+### "gate 'G' requires N qubits, got M"
+
+**Cause:** Wrong number of qubits for the gate.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad - too few qubits
+cx q[0];               // CX needs 2 qubits
+ccx (q[0], q[1]);      // CCX (Toffoli) needs 3 qubits
+
+// Bad - too many qubits
+h (q[0], q[1]);        // H is single-qubit gate
+
+// Good
+h q[0];                // Single qubit
+cx (q[0], q[1]);       // Two qubits (control, target)
+ccx (q[0], q[1], q[2]); // Three qubits (Toffoli)
+```
+
+### "ambiguous target for multi-qubit gate"
+
+**Cause:** Multi-qubit gates need explicit tuple or set syntax.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+cx q;                  // Which qubits?
+
+// Good
+cx (q[0], q[1]);       // Explicit pair
+cx {(q[0], q[1]), (q[2], q[3])};  // Batch
+```
+
+### "invalid gate syntax: use 'gate target' instead"
+
+**Cause:** Gates use space-separated syntax, not function call syntax.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad (old syntax)
+h(q[0]);
+cx(q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Good (current syntax)
+h q[0];
+cx (q[0], q[1]);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Qubit Errors
+
+### "qubit 'alloc[i]' is not prepared"
+
+**Cause:** Using a qubit before preparing it, or after measurement without re-preparing.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad - never prepared
+q := qalloc(2);
+h q[0];                // Qubit not prepared!
+
+// Bad - used after measurement
+q := qalloc(2);
+pz q;
+h q[0];
+r := mz(u1) q[0];      // Measurement resets qubit state
+h q[0];                // Error: qubit no longer prepared!
+
+// Good - prepare before use
+q := qalloc(2);
+pz q;                  // Prepare first
+h q[0];
+
+// Good - re-prepare after measurement
+q := qalloc(2);
+pz q;
+h q[0];
+r := mz(u1) q[0];
+pz q[0];               // Re-prepare after measurement
+h q[0];                // Now OK
+```
+
+### "qubit 'alloc[i]' is already prepared"
+
+**Cause:** Preparing an already-prepared qubit (in strict mode).
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+pz q[0];
+pz q[0];               // Already prepared
+
+// Good
+pz q[0];
+// ... use qubit ...
+// Reset only if needed
+```
+
+### "qubit index N out of bounds for allocator (capacity: M)"
+
+**Cause:** Accessing a qubit index beyond the allocator's capacity.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+q := qalloc(4);
+h q[10];               // Only 0-3 available
+
+// Good
+q := qalloc(4);
+h q[3];                // Index 0-3 valid
+```
+
+### "cannot call .child() on immutable allocator"
+
+**Cause:** Parent allocator must be mutable to create children.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+q := qalloc(10);
+data := q.child(5);    // q is immutable
+
+// Good
+mut q := qalloc(10);   // Make mutable
+data := q.child(5);
+```
+
+### "qubit used multiple times within tick block"
+
+**Cause:** Same qubit appears in multiple operations within one tick.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+tick {
+    h q[0];
+    x q[0];            // Same qubit!
+}
+
+// Good
+tick { h q[0]; }
+tick { x q[0]; }       // Different ticks
+```
+
+---
+
+## Measurement Errors
+
+### "invalid measurement type"
+
+**Cause:** Measurement type must be u1, u8, u64, or arrays thereof.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+r: f64 = mz(f64) q[0];  // Float not valid
+
+// Good
+r: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];
+```
+
+### "measurement type mismatch: declared [N]T but measuring M qubits"
+
+**Cause:** Array size doesn't match number of qubits.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+r: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1]];  // Only 2 qubits
+
+// Good
+r: [2]u1 = mz([2]u1) [q[0], q[1]];
+```
+
+### "single qubit measurement requires scalar type"
+
+**Cause:** Measuring one qubit requires u1 (or similar), not array.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+r: [1]u1 = mz([1]u1) q[0];  // Single qubit
+
+// Good
+r: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];
+```
+
+### "multiple qubit measurement requires array type"
+
+**Cause:** Measuring multiple qubits requires array type.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+r: u1 = mz(u1) [q[0], q[1]];  // Multiple qubits
+
+// Good
+r: [2]u1 = mz([2]u1) [q[0], q[1]];
+```
+
+### "pack mode: type T has N bits but measuring M qubits"
+
+**Cause:** Pack type doesn't have enough bits.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+r: u4 = mz(pack u4) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3], q[4]];  // 5 qubits, only 4 bits

+
+## Control Flow Errors
+
+### "unbounded loop detected"
+
+**Cause:** Loops must have bounded iteration (NASA Power of 10).
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+while condition { }    // while loops not allowed
+
+// Good
+for i in 0..100 {      // Bounded iteration
+    if !condition { break; }
+}
+```
+
+### "loop bound too large"
+
+**Cause:** Loop iteration count exceeds maximum (in strict mode).
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad (if max is 1000)
+for i in 0..1000000 { }
+
+// Good
+for i in 0..1000 { }
+```
+
+### "recursion detected in function"
+
+**Cause:** Recursive calls are not allowed in strict mode (NASA Power of 10).
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn factorial(n: u32) -> u32 {
+    if n <= 1 { return 1; }
+    return n * factorial(n - 1);  // Recursion!
+}
+
+// Good - use iteration
+fn factorial(n: u32) -> u32 {
+    mut result: u32 = 1;
+    for i in 1..n+1 {
+        result *= i;
+    }
+    return result;
+}
+
+// Alternative - use unsafe block (requires --allow-unsafe)
+fn factorial(n: u32) -> u32 {
+    unsafe {
+        if n <= 1 { return 1; }
+        return n * factorial(n - 1);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### "mutual recursion detected"
+
+**Cause:** Two or more functions call each other, forming a cycle.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn is_even(n: u32) -> bool {
+    if n == 0 { return true; }
+    return is_odd(n - 1);  // Calls is_odd
+}
+
+fn is_odd(n: u32) -> bool {
+    if n == 0 { return false; }
+    return is_even(n - 1);  // Calls is_even - cycle!
+}
+
+// Good - use iteration or combine into one function
+fn is_even(n: u32) -> bool {
+    return n % 2 == 0;
+}
+```
+
+### "break outside of loop" / "continue outside of loop"
+
+**Cause:** Using break/continue outside a loop context.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn main() -> unit {
+    break;             // Not in a loop
+    return;
+}
+
+// Good
+fn main() -> unit {
+    for i in 0..10 {
+        if i == 5 { break; }
+    }
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### "missing return statement"
+
+**Cause:** Function doesn't return on all paths.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+fn get_value(x: bool) -> u32 {
+    if x {
+        return 1;
+    }
+    // Missing return for else case!
+}
+
+// Good
+fn get_value(x: bool) -> u32 {
+    if x {
+        return 1;
+    } else {
+        return 0;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Module Errors
+
+### "module not found: name"
+
+**Cause:** Imported module doesn't exist or isn't in search path.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Bad
+utils := @import("nonexistent.zlup");
+
+// Solutions:
+// 1. Check file exists
+// 2. Set ZLUP_STDLIB_PATH for std imports
+// 3. Check relative path is correct
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tips for Debugging
+
+1. **Read the full error message** - It often includes the exact location and suggestion.
+
+2. **Check the line number** - The error points to where the problem was detected, which may be after where it was caused.
+
+3. **Look for typos** - Common issues: `:=` vs `=`, missing semicolons, wrong brackets.
+
+4. **Use `zlup check`** - Runs semantic analysis without full compilation.
+
+5. **Try `zlup eval`** - Test small expressions interactively.
+
+6. **Enable verbose mode** - Some commands have `--verbose` for more details.
+
+7. **Simplify** - If you can't find the error, try removing code until it compiles, then add back piece by piece.

+# Alias Design Notes
+
+> **Status:** MVP implemented (February 2026)
+
+This document explores adding an `alias` keyword to Zlup for creating named views
+into existing data structures, particularly qubit registers.
+
+## Motivation
+
+In QEC code, it's common to partition a qubit register into logical regions:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Current approach: use slices directly
+q := qalloc(9);
+data := q[0..1];       // Is this a copy or a view? Unclear at a glance
+x_ancilla := q[1..5];
+z_ancilla := q[5..9];
+```
+
+Problems with the current approach:
+1. **Intent unclear** - Is `data` a view or a copy?
+2. **No overlap checking** - Nothing prevents `q[0..3]` and `q[2..5]` aliases
+3. **Lifetime implicit** - Relationship to source not explicit in syntax
+
+## Proposed Syntax
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Immutable alias (default)
+alias data := q[0..1];
+
+// Mutable alias (explicit)
+mut alias x_ancilla := q[1..5];
+
+// Multiple aliases
+alias {
+    data := q[0..1],
+    x_ancilla := q[1..5],
+    z_ancilla := q[5..9],
+}
+```
+
+## Semantics
+
+### Immutability by Default
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+q := qalloc(4);
+alias view := q[0..2];
+
+h view[0];           // OK: quantum ops through immutable alias
+view = q[2..4];      // ERROR: cannot reassign immutable alias
+```
+
+Mutable aliases can be reassigned:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+mut alias current := q[0..2];
+h current[0];
+current = q[2..4];   // OK: mutable alias
+h current[0];        // Now operates on q[2]
+```
+
+### Lifetime Binding
+
+Aliases are bound to their source's lifetime:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn bad() -> alias []u8 {
+    arr := [1, 2, 3, 4];
+    alias view := arr[0..2];
+    return view;         // ERROR: alias would outlive source
+}
+
+fn ok(arr: []u8) -> alias []u8 {
+    alias view := arr[0..2];
+    return view;         // OK: source outlives function
+}
+```
+
+### Overlap Checking
+
+**Option A: Error on overlap (strict)**
+```zlup_nocheck
+q := qalloc(4);
+alias a := q[0..2];
+alias b := q[1..3];  // ERROR: overlaps with 'a'
+```
+
+**Option B: Warning on overlap (permissive)**
+```zlup_nocheck
+q := qalloc(4);
+alias a := q[0..2];
+alias b := q[1..3];  // WARNING: overlaps with 'a', parallel ops may conflict
+```
+
+**Option C: Error only for mutable overlap**
+```zlup_nocheck
+q := qalloc(4);
+alias a := q[0..2];       // immutable
+alias b := q[1..3];       // immutable - OK, both read-only
+
+mut alias c := q[0..2];   // mutable
+mut alias d := q[1..3];   // ERROR: mutable overlap with 'c'
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** Start with Option C - mutable overlap is an error, immutable
+overlap is allowed. This matches Rust's borrowing rules conceptually.
+
+## Difference from Slices
+
+| Aspect | Slice (`x := arr[0..2]`) | Alias (`alias x := arr[0..2]`) |
+|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------------|
+| Intent | Ambiguous | Explicitly a view |
+| Overlap check | None | Static analysis possible |
+| Lifetime | Implicit | Explicit in type system |
+| Reassignment | Always mutable | Immutable by default |
+
+An alias IS a slice underneath, but with:
+1. Explicit "this is a view" semantics
+2. Compiler tracking for overlap analysis
+3. Immutability by default
+
+## AST Representation
+
+```rust
+/// Alias binding - creates a named view into existing data
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct AliasBinding {
+    /// Name of the alias
+    pub name: String,
+    /// The source expression (must be slice-able)
+    pub source: Expr,
+    /// Whether this alias is mutable (can be reassigned)
+    pub is_mutable: bool,
+    /// Optional type annotation
+    pub ty: Option<TypeExpr>,
+    pub location: Option<SourceLocation>,
+}
+
+// In Stmt enum:
+pub enum Stmt {
+    // ... existing variants ...
+    Alias(AliasBinding),
+    AliasGroup(Vec<AliasBinding>),  // For grouped aliases
+}
+```
+
+## Semantic Analysis
+
+### Alias Tracking
+
+The semantic analyzer tracks aliases and their source relationships:
+
+```rust
+struct AliasInfo {
+    name: String,
+    source: String,           // Name of source variable
+    range: Option<Range>,     // Static range if known
+    is_mutable: bool,
+}
+
+// In SemanticAnalyzer:
+aliases: BTreeMap<String, AliasInfo>,
+```
+
+### Overlap Detection
+
+For static ranges, detect overlaps at compile time:
+
+```rust
+fn ranges_overlap(a: &Range, b: &Range) -> bool {
+    // [a.start, a.end) overlaps [b.start, b.end)?
+    a.start < b.end && b.start < a.end
+}
+
+fn check_alias_overlap(&self, new_alias: &AliasInfo) -> Option<SemanticError> {
+    for existing in self.aliases.values() {
+        if existing.source == new_alias.source {
+            if let (Some(r1), Some(r2)) = (&existing.range, &new_alias.range) {
+                if ranges_overlap(r1, r2) {
+                    if existing.is_mutable || new_alias.is_mutable {
+                        return Some(SemanticError::OverlappingMutableAlias { ... });
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+    None
+}
+```
+
+### Dynamic Ranges
+
+For runtime-computed ranges, overlap checking happens at runtime or is skipped:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn partition(q: [n]qubit, split: usize) -> unit {
+    alias left := q[0..split];      // Range not known at compile time
+    alias right := q[split..n];     // Could overlap if split > n
+    // Runtime check or trust the programmer?
+}
+```
+
+Options:
+1. **Require comptime ranges** for overlap checking
+2. **Insert runtime checks** for dynamic ranges
+3. **Trust programmer** for dynamic ranges (document the risk)
+
+## Integration with Parallelism Analysis
+
+Aliases provide explicit partitioning information to the parallelism analyzer:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+q := qalloc(9);
+alias {
+    data := q[0..1],
+    x_ancilla := q[1..5],
+    z_ancilla := q[5..9],
+}
+
+// Analyzer knows these are disjoint, can parallelize:
+h data[0];           // Independent
+h x_ancilla[0];      // Independent
+h z_ancilla[0];      // Independent
+```
+
+The `alias` block makes the partitioning explicit and verifiable.
+
+## Examples
+
+### QEC Syndrome Extraction
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn surface_code_round(q: [13]qubit) -> unit {
+    // Explicit partitioning with aliases
+    alias {
+        data := q[0..9],
+        x_stabilizers := q[9..11],
+        z_stabilizers := q[11..13],
+    }
+
+    // Operations on disjoint regions - can parallelize
+    prepare_data(data);
+    extract_x_syndrome(data, x_stabilizers);
+    extract_z_syndrome(data, z_stabilizers);
+
+    // Measure stabilizers
+    x_syndrome := mz([2]u1) x_stabilizers;
+    z_syndrome := mz([2]u1) z_stabilizers;
+
+    result("syndrome/x", x_syndrome);
+    result("syndrome/z", z_syndrome);
+}
+```
+
+### Sliding Window
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn sliding_window(arr: []u8, window_size: usize) -> unit {
+    for i in 0..(arr.len() - window_size) {
+        alias window := arr[i..i+window_size];
+        process(window);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Temporary Mutable View
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn initialize_register(q: [8]qubit) -> unit {
+    // Mutable alias for initialization phase
+    mut alias current := q[0..4];
+    initialize_block(current);
+
+    current = q[4..8];
+    initialize_block(current);
+}
+```
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Overlap policy:** Error, warning, or context-dependent?
+
+2. **Runtime checks:** For dynamic ranges, should we insert bounds checks?
+
+3. **Alias of alias:** Should this be allowed?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   alias a := q[0..4];
+   alias b := a[0..2];  // Alias of alias?
+   ```
+
+4. **Alias in function signatures:**
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   fn process(alias data: []qubit) -> unit { ... }
+   // vs
+   fn process(data: &[]qubit) -> unit { ... }
+   ```
+
+5. **Interaction with borrowing:** How does `alias` relate to `&` and `&mut`?
+
+## Minimal First Version (MVP)
+
+Start with a constrained version to validate the concept before adding complexity.
+
+### MVP Scope
+
+**Include:**
+- `alias name := slice_expr;` - immutable only, no `mut alias`
+- Static range slices only: `alias x := q[0..4];`
+- Same-scope only (no passing aliases to/from functions)
+- Overlap checking within same source variable
+- Error on any overlap (simpler than mutable-only rule)
+
+**Exclude (for later):**
+- `mut alias` (mutable aliases)
+- `alias { }` grouped syntax
+- Dynamic ranges
+- Alias as function parameter/return type
+- Alias of alias
+
+### MVP Syntax
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn example() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(8);
+
+    // Simple aliases with static ranges
+    alias data := q[0..4];
+    alias ancilla := q[4..8];
+
+    // Use like slices
+    h data[0];
+    cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+
+    // Overlap is an error
+    alias overlap := q[2..6];  // ERROR: overlaps with 'data' and 'ancilla'
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### MVP Semantics
+
+1. **Immutable binding** - Cannot reassign: `data = q[0..2];` is an error
+2. **View semantics** - Alias is a view, not a copy
+3. **Lifetime** - Alias lives until end of scope (same as source)
+4. **Static only** - Range bounds must be comptime-known for overlap checking
+
+### MVP Error Messages
+
+```
+error: overlapping alias
+  --> example.zlp:8:5
+   |
+ 5 |     alias data := q[0..4];
+   |           ---- first alias covers q[0..4]
+ 8 |     alias overlap := q[2..6];
+   |           ^^^^^^^ overlaps with 'data' at indices 2..4
+   |
+   = help: use non-overlapping ranges or access q directly
+```
+
+### MVP Implementation Estimate
+
+- Parser: ~50 lines (new `alias` statement)
+- AST: ~20 lines (AliasBinding struct)
+- Semantic: ~100 lines (overlap checking, symbol tracking)
+- Tests: ~100 lines
+
+Total: ~270 lines, relatively low risk.
+
+### Graduation Criteria
+
+Expand beyond MVP when:
+1. MVP is stable and tested
+2. Real QEC code shows need for `mut alias` or function passing
+3. User feedback indicates grouped syntax would help
+
+---
+
+## Full Implementation Plan
+
+1. **Phase 1: Parser**
+   - Add `alias` keyword to reserved words
+   - Parse `alias name := expr;` and `mut alias name := expr;`
+   - Parse `alias { ... }` block syntax
+
+2. **Phase 2: AST**
+   - Add `AliasBinding` struct
+   - Add `Stmt::Alias` and `Stmt::AliasGroup` variants
+
+3. **Phase 3: Semantic Analysis**
+   - Track aliases in symbol table (new `SymbolKind::Alias`)
+   - Implement lifetime checking (alias can't outlive source)
+   - Implement overlap detection for static ranges
+
+4. **Phase 4: Code Generation**
+   - Aliases compile to slice references
+   - No runtime overhead for immutable aliases
+
+5. **Phase 5: Parallelism Analysis Integration**
+   - Use alias info for more precise dependency tracking
+   - Alias blocks provide explicit partitioning hints
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Just Use Slices
+Keep current behavior, document that slices are views.
+- Pro: No new syntax
+- Con: Intent unclear, no overlap checking
+
+### Borrow Syntax (`&`)
+Use Rust-style borrowing more explicitly.
+- Pro: Familiar to Rust users
+- Con: More complex, might not fit Zlup's simpler model
+
+### Named Regions in Allocator
+```zlup_nocheck
+q := qalloc(9) {
+    data: 0..1,
+    x_ancilla: 1..5,
+    z_ancilla: 5..9,
+};
+```
+- Pro: Declaration and partitioning together
+- Con: Only works for allocators, not general slices
+
+## Summary
+
+The `alias` keyword provides:
+1. **Explicit intent** - "this is a view, not a copy"
+2. **Static safety** - overlap detection for mutable aliases
+3. **Immutability by default** - matches Zlup's philosophy
+4. **Parallelism hints** - explicit partitioning aids analysis
+
+It's essentially slices with semantic meaning and compiler support for safety checks.

+# Build System Design
+
+This document outlines Zlup's build system, following Zig's philosophy: **the build system IS the language**.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+Like Zig's `build.zig`, Zlup uses `build.zlp` - a Zlup program that runs at compile time to configure the build. No separate DSL, no YAML, no TOML for build logic - just Zlup with comptime.
+
+**Why?**
+- **One language to learn**: Build logic uses the same syntax as regular code
+- **Full power of comptime**: Conditional compilation, code generation
+- **Type-safe configuration**: Compiler catches config errors
+- **Debuggable**: Use the same tools to debug build scripts
+
+## Basic Structure
+
+### Project Layout
+
+```

+        └── src/lib.rs
+```
+
+### zlup.toml (Metadata Only)
+
+Simple metadata that doesn't need comptime logic:
+
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "my-qec-project"
+version = "0.1.0"
+authors = ["Alice <alice@example.com>"]

+# External Zlup packages (future)
+# other-package = "0.1.0"
+

+```
+
+### build.zlp (Build Logic)
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+//! Build configuration for my-qec-project
+//!
+//! This file runs at compile time to configure the build.
+
+std := @import("std");
+Build := @import("build");
+
+pub fn build(b: *Build) -> unit {
+    // Get target and optimization from CLI or defaults
+    target := b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
+    optimize := b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
+
+    // Main executable
+    exe := b.addExecutable(.{
+        name: "qec-sim",
+        root_source: "src/main.zlp",
+        target: target,
+        optimize: optimize,
+    });
+
+    // Link Rust FFI library
+    exe.linkLibrary("decoder");
+    exe.addLibraryPath("ffi/decoder/target/release");
+
+    // Install artifact
+    b.installArtifact(exe);
+
+    // Test step
+    tests := b.addTest(.{
+        root_source: "tests/test_syndrome.zlp",
+    });
+
+    test_step := b.step("test", "Run unit tests");
+    test_step.dependOn(&tests.step);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Build API
+
+### Build Context
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+Build := struct {
+    // Target configuration
+    pub fn standardTargetOptions(&self, options: TargetOptions) -> Target { ... }
+    pub fn standardOptimizeOption(&self, options: OptimizeOptions) -> Optimize { ... }
+
+    // Add build artifacts
+    pub fn addExecutable(&self, options: ExecutableOptions) -> *Executable { ... }
+    pub fn addLibrary(&self, options: LibraryOptions) -> *Library { ... }
+    pub fn addTest(&self, options: TestOptions) -> *Test { ... }
+
+    // Build steps
+    pub fn step(&self, name: []const u8, description: []const u8) -> *Step { ... }
+    pub fn installArtifact(&self, artifact: *Artifact) -> unit { ... }
+
+    // Options from command line
+    pub fn option(&self, comptime T: type, name: []const u8, description: []const u8) -> ?T { ... }
+};
+```
+
+### Executable Options
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+ExecutableOptions := struct {
+    name: []const u8,
+    root_source: []const u8,
+    target: ?Target = none,
+    optimize: ?Optimize = none,
+    strict: bool = false,  // NASA Power of 10 strict mode
+};
+```
+
+### Conditional Compilation
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+pub fn build(b: *Build) -> unit {
+    // User-defined option
+    enable_noise := b.option(bool, "noise", "Enable noise modeling") orelse false;
+
+    exe := b.addExecutable(.{
+        name: "qec-sim",
+        root_source: "src/main.zlp",
+    });
+
+    // Conditional compilation flags
+    if enable_noise {
+        exe.addDefine("ENABLE_NOISE", "1");
+        exe.linkLibrary("noise-model");
+    }
+
+    // Platform-specific
+    if b.target.os == .linux {
+        exe.linkSystemLibrary("pthread");
+    }
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Code Generation
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+pub fn build(b: *Build) -> unit {
+    // Generate lookup table at build time
+    table := b.addGeneratedFile("syndrome_table.zlp");
+    table.generator = generate_syndrome_table;
+
+    exe := b.addExecutable(.{
+        name: "decoder",
+        root_source: "src/main.zlp",
+    });
+    exe.addModule("syndrome_table", table);
+
+    return;
+}
+
+fn generate_syndrome_table(writer: *Writer) -> unit {
+    writer.print("// Auto-generated syndrome lookup table\n");
+    writer.print("pub table: [256]u8 = [\n");
+
+    for i in 0..256 {
+        correction := comptime compute_correction(i);
+        writer.print("    {},\n", correction);
+    }
+
+    writer.print("];\n");
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## CLI Integration
+
+```bash
+# Build using build.zlp
+zlup build
+
+# Build with options
+zlup build -Dnoise=true -Doptimize=release
+
+# Run tests
+zlup build test
+
+# Run specific step
+zlup build run
+
+# Show available steps and options
+zlup build --help
+```
+
+## Rust FFI Integration
+
+The build system handles Rust crate compilation:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+pub fn build(b: *Build) -> unit {
+    // Rust decoder crate
+    decoder := b.addRustLibrary(.{
+        name: "decoder",
+        path: "ffi/decoder",
+        profile: if b.optimize == .release { "release" } else { "debug" },
+    });
+
+    exe := b.addExecutable(.{
+        name: "qec-sim",
+        root_source: "src/main.zlp",
+    });
+
+    // Link the Rust library
+    exe.linkRustLibrary(decoder);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+This runs `cargo build` on the Rust crate and links the resulting `.a`/`.so`.
+
+## Multi-Target Builds
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+pub fn build(b: *Build) -> unit {
+    targets := [_]Target{
+        .{ .os = .linux, .arch = .x86_64 },
+        .{ .os = .macos, .arch = .aarch64 },
+        .{ .os = .windows, .arch = .x86_64 },
+    };
+
+    for target in targets {
+        exe := b.addExecutable(.{
+            name: f"qec-sim-{target.os}-{target.arch}",
+            root_source: "src/main.zlp",
+            target: target,
+        });
+        b.installArtifact(exe);
+    }
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Comparison with Alternatives
+
+| Approach | Pros | Cons |
+|----------|------|------|
+| **build.zlp (Zlup)** | Full language power, type-safe, debuggable | Need Zlup knowledge |
+| build.zig (Zig) | Proven approach, powerful | Different language |
+| Cargo.toml (Rust) | Simple, declarative | Limited logic |
+| CMake | Cross-platform | Complex DSL |
+| Make | Universal | Arcane syntax |
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Basic build.zlp parsing and execution
+2. **Phase 2**: Executable and library targets
+3. **Phase 3**: Test integration
+4. **Phase 4**: Rust FFI library linking
+5. **Phase 5**: Code generation support
+6. **Phase 6**: Multi-target builds
+
+## Example: Complete QEC Project
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+//! build.zlp for a surface code simulator
+
+std := @import("std");
+Build := @import("build");
+
+pub fn build(b: *Build) -> unit {
+    target := b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
+    optimize := b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
+
+    // Options
+    distance := b.option(u32, "distance", "Code distance") orelse 3;
+    strict := b.option(bool, "strict", "NASA Power of 10 strict mode") orelse true;
+
+    // Rust MWPM decoder
+    mwpm := b.addRustLibrary(.{
+        name: "mwpm",
+        path: "ffi/mwpm-decoder",
+    });
+
+    // Main simulator
+    sim := b.addExecutable(.{
+        name: "surface-sim",
+        root_source: "src/main.zlp",
+        target: target,
+        optimize: optimize,
+        strict: strict,
+    });
+    sim.addDefine("CODE_DISTANCE", std.fmt.comptimePrint("{}", distance));
+    sim.linkRustLibrary(mwpm);
+
+    b.installArtifact(sim);
+
+    // Tests
+    tests := b.addTest(.{
+        root_source: "tests/all.zlp",
+        strict: strict,
+    });
+    tests.linkRustLibrary(mwpm);
+
+    test_step := b.step("test", "Run all tests");
+    test_step.dependOn(&tests.step);
+
+    // Benchmark step
+    bench := b.addExecutable(.{
+        name: "bench",
+        root_source: "bench/main.zlp",
+        optimize: .release,
+    });
+    bench.linkRustLibrary(mwpm);
+
+    bench_step := b.step("bench", "Run benchmarks");
+    bench_step.dependOn(&bench.run());
+
+    return;
+}

+# Custom Gate Design Notes
+
+> **Status:** Design exploration (February 2026)
+
+## Summary
+
+This document defines Zlup's gate system. The core design decisions are:
+
+### All Quantum Operations Are Target-Provided
+
+Zlup has **no built-in quantum operations**. Everything that touches qubits - gates,
+preparation, measurement - is declared and provided by the compilation target.
+
+- `std.gates` declares the "standard" set (`h`, `cx`, `pz`, `mz`, etc.)
+- Targets implement what they support
+- Compile error if you use an unsupported operation
+- **No fallbacks, no implicit decomposition**
+
+### Two Types of Gates
+
+| Type | Syntax | Provider | Use Case |
+|------|--------|----------|----------|
+| **Target** | `declare gate name(...)` | Hardware/simulator/noise model | Native operations |
+| **Composite** | `gate name(...) { body }` | Zlup code | Abstractions, subroutines |
+
+### Only Two Built-ins
+
+| Built-in | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `qalloc` | Resource allocation (doesn't touch quantum state) |
+| `result` | Output emission (classical) |
+
+Everything else requires `use std.gates.*` or custom declarations.
+
+### Composite Gates Are Full Subroutines
+
+Composites can include preparation, measurement, classical logic, control flow,
+and return values:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+gate measure_reset(q: qubit) -> u1 {
+    r := mz(u1) q;
+    if r == 1 { x q; }
+    return r;
+}
+```
+
+### Compile-Time Target Validation
+
+```bash
+zlup compile program.zlp --target trapped_ion
+```
+
+The compiler validates all gate usage against the target's gate set. Composites
+are validated recursively.
+
+### IDE Support via Project Config
+
+```toml
+# zlup.toml
+[target]
+default = "trapped_ion"
+```
+
+IDE reads config and validates accordingly. `@import("target")` gives access to
+current target's definitions.

+
+## Core Principle: All Gates Are Target-Provided
+
+Zlup has **no built-in gates**. Every gate - including "standard" gates like `h`, `cx`,
+`rz` - is declared and must be provided by the compilation target.
+
+The standard library (`std.gates`) declares the common gate set that most targets support.
+But these are not special - they use the same `declare gate` mechanism as any other gate.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// In std/gates.zlp - the "standard" operation set
+// These are declarations, not implementations
+
+// Preparation (reset)
+pub declare gate pz(q: qubit);  // Prepare in |0⟩ (Z basis)
+pub declare gate px(q: qubit);  // Prepare in |+⟩ (X basis)
+pub declare gate py(q: qubit);  // Prepare in |+i⟩ (Y basis)
+
+// Measurement
+pub declare gate mz(q: qubit) -> u1;  // Measure in Z basis
+pub declare gate mx(q: qubit) -> u1;  // Measure in X basis
+pub declare gate my(q: qubit) -> u1;  // Measure in Y basis
+
+// Single-qubit gates
+pub declare gate h(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate x(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate y(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate z(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate t(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate tdg(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate sx(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate sy(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate sz(q: qubit);
+
+// Parameterized single-qubit
+pub declare gate rx(theta: a64)(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate ry(theta: a64)(q: qubit);
+pub declare gate rz(theta: a64)(q: qubit);
+
+// Two-qubit gates
+pub declare gate cx(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);
+pub declare gate cy(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);
+pub declare gate cz(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);
+pub declare gate swap(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// Parameterized two-qubit
+pub declare gate rzz(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+pub declare gate crz(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);
+
+// Three-qubit
+pub declare gate ccx(a: qubit, b: qubit, c: qubit);
+```
+
+**Targets must implement these operations.** A target that doesn't support `h` or
+`pz` will fail at compile time when code uses them.
+
+## Two Types of Gates
+
+### Target Gates (Declared)
+
+Only the signature is declared. The target provides the implementation.
+
+**Who provides implementations:**
+- **Hardware**: Native gates the device supports
+- **Simulator**: Matrix implementations, optimized algorithms
+- **Noise model**: Gates with specific error characteristics
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// User declares additional target gates beyond std.gates
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+declare gate sqrt_iswap(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+```
+
+**Key property:** No Zlup-level implementation exists. If target doesn't support
+the gate, compilation fails. No fallbacks, no hidden decomposition.
+
+### Composite Gates (Defined)
+
+Defined in Zlup as sequences of target gates (from `std.gates` or custom declarations)
+or other composite gates.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Uses target gates from std.gates (h, cx, rz)
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    h tgt;
+    cx(ctrl, tgt);
+    rz(theta) tgt;
+    cx(ctrl, tgt);
+    h tgt;
+}
+
+// Uses custom target gate (ms) - only works on targets that support ms
+gate ion_entangle(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+    ms(1/4 turns) (a, b);
+}
+
+// Uses another composite gate
+gate double_rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    rzx(theta) (ctrl, tgt);
+    rzx(theta) (ctrl, tgt);
+}
+```
+
+**Key property:** Zlup knows the decomposition. Composite gates are portable across
+any target that supports their constituent target gates. A composite using only
+`std.gates` works on any standard-compliant target. A composite using `ms` only
+works on targets that provide `ms`.
+
+## Why This Design?
+
+### Explicit Over Implicit (Zig-style, No Prelude)
+
+Following Zig, Zlup has **no prelude**. Nothing is automatically imported.
+
+**Built into the language (always available):**
+- Primitive types: `u8`, `i32`, `bool`, `f64`, `a64`, `qubit`, `unit`, etc.
+- Keywords: `if`, `for`, `fn`, `gate`, `declare`, `pub`, etc.
+- Built-in functions: `@import`, `@size_of`, `@type_info`, etc.
+- Resource management: `qalloc` (allocation, not a quantum operation)
+- Output: `result` (classical emission, not a quantum operation)
+
+**Requires explicit import (target-provided):**
+- All quantum operations: `h`, `cx`, `rz`, `pz`, `mz`, etc.
+- Library functions: `std.math`, `std.bits`, etc.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.*;  // h, cx, rz, pz, mz, ...
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);   // built-in (resource allocation)
+    pz q;             // imported (target-provided)
+    h q[0];           // imported (target-provided)
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);  // imported (target-provided)
+    r := mz(u1) q[0]; // imported (target-provided)
+    result("out", r); // built-in (output)
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+The distinction: `qalloc` and `result` are resource/IO operations that don't touch
+quantum state. Everything that interacts with qubits (gates, prep, measurement) is
+target-provided because targets implement these differently and noise models need
+to reason about them.
+
+This means you can always answer "where did this come from?" by looking at imports.
+
+### Fail Fast
+
+If a target doesn't support a gate you use, compilation fails immediately with a
+clear error message. No silent fallbacks or hidden decompositions that might
+introduce unexpected behavior or performance characteristics.
+
+### Target Flexibility
+
+Different targets have different native gate sets:
+- Trapped ion: `ms`, `gpi`, `gpi2`
+- Superconducting: `sqrt_iswap`, `sycamore`
+- Photonic: `beamsplitter`, `phase_shift`
+
+Rather than trying to support all of these as "built-ins", each target declares
+what it supports. Users declare additional gates as needed.
+
+### Noise Model Control
+
+Noise models are targets too. A noise model might:
+- Provide standard gates with calibrated error rates
+- Provide synthetic gates for testing (`perfect_cx`, `very_noisy_cx`)
+- Reject gates it doesn't have noise data for
+
+## Proposed Syntax
+
+### Importing Standard Gates
+
+All quantum operations (including `pz` and `mz`) must be imported before use:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Import all standard operations
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.*;  // pz, mz, h, x, cx, rz, etc.
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;             // from std.gates
+    h q[0];           // from std.gates
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);  // from std.gates
+    r := mz(u1) q[0]; // from std.gates
+    result("out", r);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Or import selectively:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.{pz, mz, h, cx};  // only import what you need
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    r := mz(u1) q[0];
+    result("out", r);
+    // x q[0];  // Error: 'x' not imported
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Or use qualified names:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    std.gates.pz q;
+    std.gates.h q[0];
+    std.gates.cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    r := std.gates.mz(u1) q[0];
+    result("out", r);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Composite Gates
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Basic composite gate with angle parameter
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    h tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    rz(theta) tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    h tgt;
+}
+
+// Fixed gate (no parameters)
+gate echo(q: qubit) {
+    x q;
+    x q;
+}
+
+// Multi-qubit gate
+gate toffoli(a: qubit, b: qubit, c: qubit) {
+    h c;
+    cx (b, c); tdg c;
+    cx (a, c); t c;
+    cx (b, c); tdg c;
+    cx (a, c);
+    t b; t c; h c;
+    cx (a, b);
+    t a; tdg b;
+    cx (a, b);
+}
+
+// Public gate (exported from module)
+pub gate logical_h(data: [9]qubit) {
+    inline for i in 0..9 {
+        h data[i];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Target Gates (Declared)
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Declare a gate the target must provide
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// No angle parameters
+declare gate sqrt_swap(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// Three-qubit native gate
+declare gate native_toffoli(a: qubit, b: qubit, c: qubit);
+
+// With target hint (documentation/validation)
+@target("trapped_ion")
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+@target("simulator:pecos")
+declare gate optimized_toffoli(a: qubit, b: qubit, c: qubit);
+
+@target("noise_model:depolarizing")
+declare gate noisy_cx(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.*;  // pz, mz, h, cx, rz, ...
+
+// Declare additional target gate
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// Define composite gate (uses std.gates)
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    h tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    rz(theta) tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    h tgt;
+}
+
+gate echo(q: qubit) {
+    x q;
+    x q;
+}
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Use standard gate
+    h q[0];
+
+    // Use composite gate
+    rzx(1/4 turns) (q[0], q[1]);
+
+    // Use target gate (target must support)
+    ms(1/8 turns) (q[2], q[3]);
+
+    // Batch syntax works too
+    echo {q[0], q[1], q[2]};
+
+    // Measure
+    r := mz(u1) q[0];
+    result("out", r);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Noise Model Integration
+
+The key question: how should noise models treat composite gates?
+
+### Option A: Atomic by Default
+
+Composite gates are treated as single units for noise purposes. The noise model
+sees "one rzx gate" not "h, cx, rz, cx, h".
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Default: noise model treats as atomic
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    h tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    rz(theta) tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    h tgt;
+}
+
+// Override: apply noise to each constituent
+@decomposed
+gate debug_rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    // Same body, but noise applied per-gate
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Most custom gates are defined precisely because users want to
+reason about them as units. Debugging/analysis can use `@decomposed`.
+
+### Option B: Decomposed by Default
+
+Noise applied to each constituent gate. Mark atomic explicitly.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Default: noise per constituent
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) { ... }
+
+// Override: treat as single unit
+@atomic
+gate atomic_rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) { ... }
+```
+
+**Rationale:** More conservative; explicit atomicity prevents surprises.
+
+### Option C: Noise Model Decides
+
+Gate definition doesn't specify; noise model configuration lists atomic gates.
+
+```json
+// noise_config.json
+{
+  "atomic_gates": ["rzx", "logical_h", "echo"],
+  "decomposed_gates": ["debug_toffoli"]
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Same gate can be atomic or decomposed depending on simulation needs.
+
+### Recommendation
+
+**Option A (atomic by default)** with **Option C (noise model override)**.
+
+- Gates defined with `gate` keyword are atomic by default
+- `@decomposed` attribute forces per-constituent noise
+- Noise model config can override either direction
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Atomic by default
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) { ... }
+
+// Force decomposed (ignores noise model config)
+@decomposed
+gate always_decomposed(q: qubit) { ... }
+
+// Force atomic (ignores noise model config)
+@atomic
+gate always_atomic(q: qubit) { ... }
+```
+
+## Inlining Behavior
+
+Separate from noise, inlining affects optimization:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Default: compiler decides based on size/usage
+gate small_gate(q: qubit) { x q; }
+
+// Force inline (always expand at call site)
+@inline
+gate must_inline(q: qubit) { ... }
+
+// Prevent inline (preserve structure in output)
+@noinline
+gate preserve_structure(q: qubit) { ... }
+```
+
+**Interaction with noise:**
+- `@inline` + atomic noise = inline then apply atomic noise
+- `@noinline` + decomposed noise = keep structure, noise per constituent
+
+## Arity and Type Checking
+
+The compiler tracks gate signatures for type checking:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) { ... }
+//       ^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+//       1 angle     2 qubits
+
+// Valid
+rzx(1/4 turns) (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Error: wrong number of angle parameters
+rzx (q[0], q[1]);  // Missing angle
+
+// Error: wrong number of qubits
+rzx(1/4 turns) (q[0]);  // Needs 2 qubits
+
+// Error: type mismatch
+rzx(42) (q[0], q[1]);  // 42 is not an angle
+```
+
+### Target Gate Validation
+
+For target gates, validation happens at codegen time:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// At compile time: type-checked against declaration
+ms(1/4 turns) (q[0], q[1]);  // OK
+
+// At codegen time: check if target supports "ms"
+// Error if target doesn't have "ms" with matching signature
+```
+
+**Target capabilities:**
+
+Different targets support different gates:
+
+| Target | Example Supported Gates |
+|--------|------------------------|
+| Hardware (trapped ion) | `ms`, `gpi`, `gpi2` |
+| Hardware (superconducting) | `sqrt_iswap`, `sycamore` |
+| Simulator (statevector) | Any gate with provided matrix |
+| Noise model | Gates with calibrated noise parameters |
+
+The `@target` hint helps catch mismatches early:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+@target("trapped_ion")
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// Compiling with --target superconducting:
+// Warning: gate 'ms' declared for 'trapped_ion' but targeting 'superconducting'
+```
+
+## AST Representation

+
+## SLR Output
+
+Composite gates can be output in two ways:
+
+### Expanded (Default)
+
+Gate body is inlined at each call site:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "GateOp",
+  "kind": "H",
+  "targets": [{"allocator": "q", "index": 1}]
+},
+{
+  "type": "GateOp",
+  "kind": "CX",
+  "targets": [
+    {"allocator": "q", "index": 0},
+    {"allocator": "q", "index": 1}
+  ]
+}
+// ... etc
+```
+
+### Preserved Structure
+
+When `@noinline` or for backends that support custom gates:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "CustomGateOp",
+  "name": "rzx",
+  "params": [{"type": "angle", "value": 0.25, "unit": "turns"}],
+  "targets": [
+    {"allocator": "q", "index": 0},
+    {"allocator": "q", "index": 1}
+  ],
+  "atomic_noise": true
+}
+```
+
+### Target Gates
+
+Always output as target gate ops (no body to expand):
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "TargetGateOp",
+  "name": "ms",
+  "params": [{"type": "angle", "value": 0.125, "unit": "turns"}],
+  "targets": [
+    {"allocator": "q", "index": 0},
+    {"allocator": "q", "index": 1}
+  ],
+  "target_hint": "trapped_ion"
+}
+```
+
+The target (hardware, simulator, or noise model) interprets this gate according to
+its own implementation.
+
+## Examples
+

+    }
+}
+
+// Logical CNOT between two codes
+pub gate logical_cx(ctrl: [9]qubit, tgt: [9]qubit) {

+```
+
+### Target: Noise Model

+use std.gates.pz;
+
+// Noise model provides gate with calibrated error characteristics
+@target("noise_model:device_xyz")
+declare gate calibrated_cx(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);

+```
+
+### Dynamical Decoupling
+
+```zlup_nocheck

+use std.gates.{h, x, y, pz};
+
+// Echo sequence for noise suppression

+
+### Debugging with Decomposed Noise
+
+```zlup_nocheck

+
+    // Per-gate noise (for analysis)
+    debug_rzx(1/4 turns) (q[2], q[3]);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Composite Gate Generalization
+
+Composite gates need to be more than just sequences of other gates. Real quantum
+operations often include preparation, measurement, classical logic, and feedforward.
+
+### What Composites Need to Support
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.*;
+
+// Measure-and-reset: returns measurement, leaves qubit in |0⟩
+gate measure_reset(q: qubit) -> u1 {
+    r := mz(u1) q;
+    if r == 1 {
+        x q;  // flip back to |0⟩
+    }
+    return r;
+}
+
+// Teleportation protocol
+gate teleport(psi: qubit, epr0: qubit, epr1: qubit) -> (u1, u1) {
+    // Bell measurement
+    cx (psi, epr0);
+    h psi;
+    m1 := mz(u1) psi;
+    m2 := mz(u1) epr0;
+
+    // Feedforward corrections
+    if m2 == 1 { x epr1; }
+    if m1 == 1 { z epr1; }
+
+    return (m1, m2);
+}
+
+// Repeat-until-success T gate
+gate rus_t(q: qubit, ancilla: qubit) -> bool {
+    for attempt in 0..10 {  // bounded attempts
+        pz ancilla;
+        h ancilla;
+        t ancilla;
+        cx (q, ancilla);
+        h ancilla;
+
+        r := mz(u1) ancilla;
+        if r == 0 {
+            return true;  // success
+        }
+        // Undo partial operation and retry
+        sz q;  // correction
+    }
+    return false;  // failed after max attempts
+}
+
+// Syndrome extraction round
+gate extract_syndrome(data: [4]qubit, ancilla: qubit) -> u1 {
+    pz ancilla;
+    h ancilla;
+
+    inline for i in 0..4 {
+        cx (ancilla, data[i]);
+    }
+
+    h ancilla;
+    return mz(u1) ancilla;
+}
+```
+
+### What This Means
+
+Composite gates can include:
+
+| Feature | Example | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| Target gates | `h q; cx (a, b);` | Core operations |
+| Preparation | `pz ancilla;` | Initialize qubits mid-circuit |
+| Measurement | `r := mz(u1) q;` | Extract classical information |
+| Return values | `-> u1`, `-> (u1, u1)` | Return measurement results |
+| Classical variables | `r := mz(...); count += 1;` | Track state |
+| Control flow | `if r == 1 { x q; }` | Feedforward corrections |
+| Bounded loops | `for i in 0..n { ... }` | Repeated operations |
+| Other composites | `measure_reset(q);` | Composition |
+
+### Gate vs Function: What's the Difference?
+
+If gates can do all this, how are they different from functions?
+
+| Aspect | `gate` | `fn` |
+|--------|--------|------|
+| **Semantics** | "This is a quantum operation" | General code |
+| **Noise model** | Treated as unit (by default) | No special treatment |
+| **Target override** | Target can provide native impl | No target override |
+| **Inlining** | Controlled by `@atomic`/`@decomposed` | Normal inlining rules |
+| **Scheduling** | May have timing implications | No timing semantics |
+
+The key distinction: a `gate` declaration says "this is a quantum operation that
+targets and noise models should reason about". A function is just code.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Gate: noise model can treat as atomic "teleport" operation
+gate teleport(psi: qubit, epr0: qubit, epr1: qubit) -> (u1, u1) { ... }
+
+// Function: just code, no special quantum semantics
+fn run_teleportation_experiment(shots: u32) -> unit { ... }
+```
+
+### Noise Model Implications
+
+When a composite gate includes measurement and feedforward:
+
+**Atomic mode (`@atomic` or default):**
+- Noise model sees one "teleport" operation
+- Applies noise characteristic of the whole operation
+- Internal structure hidden from noise model
+
+**Decomposed mode (`@decomposed`):**
+- Noise model sees each constituent operation
+- `cx`, `h`, `mz`, conditional `x`, conditional `z` each get noise
+- Full visibility into structure
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Atomic: noise model sees "measure_reset" as one operation
+gate measure_reset(q: qubit) -> u1 { ... }
+
+// Decomposed: noise model sees mz + conditional x
+@decomposed
+gate debug_measure_reset(q: qubit) -> u1 { ... }
+```
+
+## Compilation Model
+
+When compiling Zlup code, you specify a target. The target declares what gates it
+supports. The compiler validates your code against the target's gate set.
+
+### Target Gate Sets
+
+Each target provides a gate set definition:
+
+```
+# trapped_ion.target
+gates:
+  - pz, px
+  - mz, mx
+  - gpi, gpi2
+  - ms
+  - rz
+
+# superconducting.target
+gates:
+  - pz
+  - mz
+  - h, x, y, z
+  - rx, ry, rz
+  - cx, cz
+  - sqrt_iswap
+
+# simulator_pecos.target
+gates:
+  - [all of std.gates]
+  - optimized_toffoli
+  - any_unitary  # simulator can do arbitrary unitaries
+```
+
+### Compile-Time Validation
+
+```bash
+# Compile for trapped ion target
+zlup compile program.zlp --target trapped_ion
+```
+
+The compiler:
+1. Loads target's gate set
+2. Checks every gate usage in your code
+3. Errors if you use a gate the target doesn't support
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.*;
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;
+    h q[0];           // Error on trapped_ion: 'h' not supported
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);  // Error on trapped_ion: 'cx' not supported
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+```
+error: gate 'h' not supported by target 'trapped_ion'
+  --> program.zlp:7:5
+   |
+ 7 |     h q[0];
+   |     ^ target 'trapped_ion' does not provide 'h'
+   |
+   = help: trapped_ion supports: pz, px, mz, mx, gpi, gpi2, ms, rz
+   = help: consider decomposing 'h' using supported gates
+```
+
+### Composites Are Validated Recursively
+
+When you define a composite gate, the compiler checks that all gates it uses are
+supported by the target:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// This composite uses h and cx
+gate bell(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+    h a;
+    cx (a, b);
+}
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;
+    bell(q[0], q[1]);  // Error: bell uses 'h' and 'cx', not supported
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+The error traces through:
+```
+error: gate 'h' not supported by target 'trapped_ion'
+  --> program.zlp:4:5
+   |
+ 4 |     h a;
+   |     ^ in composite gate 'bell'
+   |
+  --> program.zlp:11:5
+   |
+11 |     bell(q[0], q[1]);
+   |     ^^^^ called here
+```
+
+### Writing Portable Code
+
+To write code that works on multiple targets:
+
+**Option 1: Use only common gates**
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Only use gates that all your targets support
+// This limits expressiveness but maximizes portability
+```
+
+**Option 2: Target-specific modules**
+```zlup_nocheck
+// trapped_ion/bell.zlp
+gate bell(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+    ms(1/4 turns) (a, b);
+    // ... ion-native implementation
+}
+
+// superconducting/bell.zlp
+gate bell(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+    h a;
+    cx (a, b);
+}
+
+// main.zlp - import based on target
+bell := @import(@target_name() ++ "/bell.zlp");
+```
+
+**Option 3: Comptime target checking**
+```zlup_nocheck
+gate bell(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+    if (comptime @target_has("ms")) {
+        ms(1/4 turns) (a, b);
+    } else if (comptime @target_has("cx")) {
+        h a;
+        cx (a, b);
+    } else {
+        @compile_error("No known bell implementation for this target");
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### No Implicit Fallbacks
+
+The compiler never silently substitutes one gate for another. If you write `h q[0]`
+and the target doesn't support `h`, you get a compile error. Period.
+
+This is intentional:
+- **Explicit**: You know exactly what gates your code uses
+- **Predictable**: No surprise decompositions affecting performance/noise
+- **Auditable**: Code review can verify target compatibility
+
+## IDE / Language Server Support
+
+The IDE needs to know which target you're developing for to provide proper
+errors, autocomplete, and diagnostics. Several approaches:
+
+### Option A: Project Configuration
+
+Like Rust's `Cargo.toml`, a project config specifies the default target:
+
+```toml
+# zlup.toml
+[project]
+name = "my_qec_code"
+
+[target]
+default = "trapped_ion"
+
+# Optional: define multiple targets for the project
+[target.trapped_ion]
+definition = "targets/trapped_ion.toml"
+
+[target.simulator]
+definition = "targets/pecos_simulator.toml"
+```
+
+The IDE reads `zlup.toml` and uses the default target for validation. This is
+similar to how rust-analyzer reads `Cargo.toml`.
+
+### Option B: Import Target Gate Set
+
+Make the target's gate set explicitly importable:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Import current target's definitions (set by zlup.toml or CLI)
+target := @import("target");
+use target.gates.*;  // IDE knows exactly which gates are available
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;       // IDE: ✓ available in target
+    h q[0];     // IDE: ✗ not available in trapped_ion (red squiggle)
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Or import a specific target explicitly (useful during development):
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Explicitly develop against trapped_ion
+ion := @import("targets/trapped_ion");
+use ion.gates.*;
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;
+    ms(1/4 turns) (q[0], q[1]);  // IDE knows ms is available
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Option C: Builtin Target Info (Zig-style)
+
+Like Zig's `@import("builtin")`:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+builtin := @import("builtin");
+
+// Access target info at comptime
+const target_name = builtin.target.name;  // "trapped_ion"
+const has_cx = builtin.target.has_gate("cx");  // false
+
+// Conditional compilation
+if (comptime builtin.target.has_gate("cx")) {
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+} else {
+    // Alternative implementation
+}
+```
+
+### Option D: Per-File Target Annotation
+
+For files that are target-specific:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+//! target: trapped_ion
+//! This module contains trapped-ion specific implementations
+
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.*;
+
+// IDE knows to validate against trapped_ion
+pub gate ion_bell(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+    ms(1/4 turns) (a, b);
+}
+```
+
+### Recommended Approach
+
+Combine several mechanisms:
+
+1. **Project config (`zlup.toml`)**: Default target for the project, IDE reads this
+2. **Explicit target import**: `target := @import("target")` makes dependencies clear
+3. **Per-file annotations**: Override for target-specific files
+4. **Builtin info**: `@import("builtin").target` for comptime decisions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Most files: use project default via @import("target")
+target := @import("target");
+use target.gates.*;
+
+// Target-specific file: annotate at top
+//! target: trapped_ion
+ion := @import("targets/trapped_ion");
+use ion.gates.*;
+
+// Portable code: check at comptime
+builtin := @import("builtin");
+if (comptime builtin.target.has_gate("ms")) {
+    // Use native MS gate
+} else {
+    // Use decomposition
+}
+```
+
+### How Zig and Rust Handle This
+
+**Zig:**
+```zig
+const builtin = @import("builtin");
+const native_arch = builtin.cpu.arch;
+
+if (native_arch == .x86_64) {
+    // x86-specific code
+}
+```
+- Build system (`build.zig`) specifies target
+- IDE reads build.zig
+- `@import("builtin")` gives target info in code
+
+**Rust:**
+```rust
+#[cfg(target_arch = "x86_64")]
+fn optimized_impl() { ... }
+
+#[cfg(not(target_arch = "x86_64"))]
+fn optimized_impl() { ... }
+```
+- `Cargo.toml` + `.cargo/config.toml` specify target
+- rust-analyzer reads config
+- `cfg` attributes for conditional compilation
+- `cfg!` macro for runtime checks (but resolved at compile time)
+
+### Target Definition Files
+
+Targets are defined in TOML files:
+
+```toml
+# targets/trapped_ion.toml
+[target]
+name = "trapped_ion"
+description = "Generic trapped ion quantum computer"
+
+[gates]
+# Preparation and measurement
+prep = ["pz", "px"]
+meas = ["mz", "mx"]
+
+# Native single-qubit
+single = ["gpi", "gpi2", "rz"]
+
+# Native two-qubit
+two = ["ms"]
+
+# Not natively supported (would need decomposition)
+# h, x, y, z, cx, cy, cz - not listed, so not available
+```
+
+```toml
+# targets/pecos_simulator.toml
+[target]
+name = "pecos_simulator"
+description = "PECOS statevector simulator"
+
+[gates]
+# Simulator supports everything in std.gates
+include = ["std.gates.*"]
+
+# Plus some simulator-specific operations
+extra = ["any_unitary", "state_snapshot", "density_matrix"]
+```
+
+The IDE loads the target definition and validates accordingly.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Qubit array parameters:** Should gates support `[N]qubit` parameters?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   gate transversal_h(data: [N]qubit) { ... }  // Generic over N?
+   gate logical_h(data: [9]qubit) { ... }      // Fixed size?
+   ```
+
+2. **Classical parameters:** Should gates support non-angle parameters?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   gate conditional_x(condition: bool)(q: qubit) {
+       if condition { x q; }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Return values:** Should gates return measurement results?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   gate measure_reset(q: qubit) -> u1 {
+       result := mz(u1) q;
+       pz q;
+       return result;
+   }
+   ```
+   Or should this remain a function, not a gate?
+
+4. **Gate composition:** Should gates call other custom gates?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   gate double_echo(q: qubit) {
+       echo q;
+       echo q;
+   }
+   ```
+
+5. **Verification:** Should we allow assertions about gate behavior?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   @unitary_check  // Verify at comptime that this is unitary
+   gate my_gate(q: qubit) { ... }
+   ```
+
+6. **Target capability checking:** Compile error at codegen time if target doesn't
+   support the gate. No fallbacks - explicit failure is the only option.
+
+7. **Multiple target hints:** What if code uses gates from multiple targets?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   @target("trapped_ion")
+   declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+   @target("superconducting")
+   declare gate sqrt_iswap(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+   // Compile error if targeting trapped_ion and using sqrt_iswap
+   // Clear message: "gate 'sqrt_iswap' declared for 'superconducting'
+   //                 but compiling for 'trapped_ion'"
+   ```
+
+8. **Composite portability:** Should composites be allowed to use target-specific gates?
+   ```zlup_nocheck
+   // This composite only works on trapped_ion targets
+   gate ion_bell(a: qubit, b: qubit) {
+       ms(1/4 turns) (a, b);  // ms is trapped_ion specific
+   }
+   // Should compiler warn? Infer target requirement? Just fail at codegen?
+   ```
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Gate Declaration Infrastructure
+- Add `declare gate` syntax to parser
+- Move standard gates to `std/gates.zlp` as declarations
+- Target capability registry (what gates each target supports)
+- Compile-time validation: error if target doesn't support used gate
+
+### Phase 2: Composite Gates
+- Add `gate` keyword for composite definitions
+- Inline expansion at call sites
+- Type checking for arity (angles, qubits)
+
+### Phase 3: Noise Attributes
+- Add `@atomic` / `@decomposed` attributes for composites
+- SLR output with noise hints
+- Noise model integration in PECOS
+
+### Phase 4: Advanced Features
+- Qubit array parameters
+- Composite gates calling other composites
+- Inlining control (`@inline`, `@noinline`)
+- `@target` hint attribute for documentation/validation
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Zlup has **no built-in quantum operations**. All quantum operations are either:
+
+| Type | Syntax | Body | Provider |
+|------|--------|------|----------|
+| Target | `declare gate name(...)` | None | Hardware, simulator, or noise model |
+| Composite | `gate name(...) { }` | Required | Zlup code (sequences of other gates) |
+
+**Target gates** are provided by the compilation target. The standard library
+(`std.gates`) declares the common operation set that most targets support:
+- Preparation: `pz`, `px`, `py`
+- Measurement: `mz`, `mx`, `my`
+- Gates: `h`, `x`, `cx`, `rz`, etc.
+
+If a target doesn't support an operation, compilation fails - no fallbacks, no hidden magic.
+
+**Composite gates** are defined in Zlup as sequences of other gates. They're portable
+across any target that supports their constituent gates. Noise models can treat them
+as atomic units or decompose them.
+
+**Only two things are built-in:**
+- `qalloc` - resource allocation (doesn't touch quantum state)
+- `result` - output emission (classical)
+
+Key design choices:
+- **All quantum operations are target-provided** - even "standard" ones
+- **One import for everything quantum** - `use std.gates.*`
+- **No fallbacks** - explicit failure if target doesn't support an operation
+- **Fail fast** - compile-time errors, not runtime surprises
+- **Atomic noise by default** for composites
+- **Explicit attributes** to override noise/inlining behavior

+# Guppy-Zlup Compatibility Layer
+
+This document outlines the strategy for Guppy ↔ Zlup interoperability.
+
+## Key Insight: The Linter is Valuable Independently
+
+Even if Zlup never sees wide adoption, a **Guppy linter enforcing NASA Power of 10 constraints** would be valuable on its own. It would:
+
+- Improve reliability of production Guppy code
+- Catch common bugs (unbounded loops, recursion, dynamic allocation)
+- Establish best practices for QEC code quality
+- Create a "reliable Guppy" subset for mission-critical applications
+
+**The linter is the contribution, Zlup conversion is a bonus.**
+
+## The Challenge
+
+- Guppy is Python-embedded, Zlup is Rust-native
+- Direct FFI between Python and Zlup is complex
+- Zlup is more restrictive than Guppy (NASA Power of 10)
+- Not all Guppy programs can become Zlup programs
+
+## Strategy: NASA Power of 10 Guppy (with Optional Zlup Conversion)
+
+Rather than trying to make arbitrary Guppy work with Zlup, we define a **constrained subset of Guppy** that maps cleanly to Zlup. This is enforced by a linter.

+
+## Zlup-Compatible Guppy Constraints
+
+### 1. Bounded Loops Only
+
+```python
+# ❌ NOT Zlup-compatible
+while condition:
+    do_something()
+
+# ❌ NOT Zlup-compatible
+while True:
+    if done: break
+
+# ✅ Zlup-compatible
+for i in range(100):
+    do_something()
+
+# ✅ Zlup-compatible (with early exit)
+for i in range(100):
+    if done: break
+```
+
+**Lint message:**
+```
+error[ZLUP001]: unbounded loop not Zlup-compatible
+  --> circuit.py:42
+   |
+42 |     while condition:
+   |     ^^^^^ use bounded `for i in range(N)` instead
+   |
+help: replace with bounded loop
+   |
+42 |     for _ in range(MAX_ITERATIONS):
+43 |         if not condition: break
+```
+
+### 2. No Recursion
+
+```python
+# ❌ NOT Zlup-compatible
+def factorial(n):
+    if n <= 1: return 1
+    return n * factorial(n - 1)
+
+# ✅ Zlup-compatible
+def factorial(n):
+    result = 1
+    for i in range(1, n + 1):
+        result *= i
+    return result
+```
+
+**Lint message:**
+```
+error[ZLUP002]: recursive function not Zlup-compatible
+  --> math.py:5
+   |
+ 5 |     return n * factorial(n - 1)
+   |                ^^^^^^^^^ recursive call
+   |
+help: convert to iterative form with bounded loop
+```
+
+### 3. Fixed Allocations
+
+```python
+# ❌ NOT Zlup-compatible (dynamic allocation in loop)
+for round in range(100):
+    qubits = allocate(compute_size(round))  # Size varies!
+
+# ✅ Zlup-compatible (fixed allocation)
+qubits = allocate(MAX_SIZE)
+for round in range(100):
+    use_qubits(qubits[:needed_size(round)])
+```
+
+### 4. No Dynamic Python Features
+
+```python
+# ❌ NOT Zlup-compatible
+gate_name = "h" if condition else "x"
+getattr(circuit, gate_name)(qubit)  # Dynamic dispatch
+
+# ✅ Zlup-compatible
+if condition:
+    circuit.h(qubit)
+else:
+    circuit.x(qubit)
+```
+
+## Linter Implementation
+
+The linter would be a Guppy plugin or standalone tool:
+
+```bash
+# Check if Guppy code is Zlup-compatible
+guppy-lint --zlup-compat circuit.py
+
+# Generate Zlup from compatible Guppy
+guppy-to-zlup circuit.py -o circuit.zlp
+```
+
+### Lint Rules
+
+| Rule | Description | Severity |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| ZLUP001 | Unbounded loop | Error |
+| ZLUP002 | Recursive function | Error |
+| ZLUP003 | Dynamic allocation in loop | Error |
+| ZLUP004 | Dynamic dispatch | Error |
+| ZLUP005 | Unchecked error | Warning |
+| ZLUP006 | Missing type annotation | Warning |
+| ZLUP007 | Complex control flow | Warning |
+
+## Transformation Errors
+
+When `guppy-to-zlup` cannot transform code, it provides actionable feedback:
+
+```
+error: cannot transform to Zlup
+  --> syndrome.py:78
+   |
+78 |     while defects:
+   |     ^^^^^ unbounded loop
+   |
+help: this pattern often indicates MWPM-style iteration
+      consider moving this logic to a Rust decoder:
+
+      1. Create a Rust function implementing the algorithm
+      2. Export via zlup-ffi with #[zlup_export]
+      3. Call from Zlup: `correction := mwpm_decode(syndrome);`
+
+      See: docs/rust-integration.md
+```
+
+## HUGR as Intermediate
+
+For cases where direct transformation isn't possible, HUGR provides an intermediate:
+
+```
+Guppy → HUGR → (optimize) → Zlup
+```
+
+This allows:
+- Guppy-native optimizations before Zlup conversion
+- Shared optimization passes between Guppy and Zlup
+- Gradual migration path
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Gradual Adoption**: Teams can lint existing Guppy code toward Zlup compatibility
+2. **Clear Errors**: When code can't be converted, users know exactly why
+3. **Best of Both**: Research in Guppy, production in Zlup
+4. **NASA Power of 10 for Guppy**: The linter brings reliability principles to Python QEC code
+
+## Standalone Value: guppy-lint Without Zlup
+
+The linter is useful **even without any Zlup conversion**:
+
+```bash
+# Just lint for reliability, no Zlup involved
+guppy-lint --strict circuit.py
+```
+
+### Use Cases
+
+| Use Case | Zlup Needed? | Value |
+|----------|--------------|-------|
+| Catch unbounded loops | No | Prevent hangs in production |
+| Flag recursion | No | Predictable stack usage |
+| Detect dynamic allocation in hot paths | No | Consistent memory usage |
+| Enforce explicit error handling | No | Robust fault tolerance |
+| Require type annotations | No | Better static analysis |
+| **Convert to Zlup** | Yes | Rust-native execution |
+
+### "Reliable Guppy" Subset
+
+The linter effectively defines a **"Reliable Guppy"** subset:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                    Full Guppy                               │
+│  (All Python flexibility, linear types)                     │
+│                                                             │
+│  ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐  │
+│  │            "Reliable Guppy"                           │  │
+│  │  (Bounded, predictable, NASA Power of 10)             │  │
+│  │                                                       │  │
+│  │  • Production QEC systems                             │  │
+│  │  • Mission-critical code                              │  │
+│  │  • Code that needs formal analysis                    │  │
+│  │                                                       │  │
+│  │  ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐  │  │
+│  │  │        Zlup-Convertible                         │  │  │
+│  │  │  (Can mechanically transform to Zlup)           │  │  │
+│  │  └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘  │  │
+│  └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘  │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Teams can choose their level:
+1. **Full Guppy**: Maximum flexibility for research/prototyping
+2. **Reliable Guppy**: NASA Power of 10 for production reliability
+3. **Zlup-Convertible**: When Rust-native execution is needed
+
+### Integration with Guppy Ecosystem
+
+The linter could be:
+- A **Guppy plugin** (`guppy.lint.nasa_p10`)
+- A **pre-commit hook** for CI/CD
+- An **IDE extension** for real-time feedback
+- A **standalone tool** for auditing
+
+This makes reliability opt-in and gradual - teams can adopt constraints incrementally without committing to Zlup.
+
+## Implementation Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1: Standalone Guppy Linter
+- Implement lint rules for NASA Power of 10 constraints
+- Good error messages with actionable suggestions
+- Integration with existing Python tooling (pylint, flake8 plugin?)
+
+### Phase 2: Guppy → Zlup Conversion (Optional)
+- Mechanical transformation for compliant code
+- Clear errors when conversion isn't possible
+- HUGR as intermediate where helpful
+
+### Phase 3: Round-Trip (Future)
+- Zlup → Guppy for interop
+- Shared HUGR representation

+# Standard Library Design
+
+This document outlines the design of Zlup's standard library.
+
+## Import Syntax
+
+Zlup uses **Zig-style import semantics** with **Rust/Python-inspired syntax**:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Import entire module (Zig semantics)
+std := @import("std");
+
+// Use qualified access
+angle := std.math.pi_4;
+count := std.bits.popcount_u64(syndrome);
+
+// Import specific items (Rust-style syntax, Zig semantics)
+// The module is still loaded, but we bind specific names
+math := @import("std").math;
+pi := math.pi;
+
+// Alternative: destructuring import (Python-style syntax)
+// Still Zig semantics - the module is evaluated once
+{ pi, tau, e } := @import("std").math;
+```
+
+### Why Zig Semantics?
+
+- **Comptime evaluation**: Imports are resolved at compile time
+- **No runtime overhead**: Module code runs once during compilation
+- **Explicit dependencies**: Clear what each file imports
+- **Deterministic**: Same import always gives same result
+
+### Syntax Comparison
+
+| Style | Syntax | Zlup Approach |
+|-------|--------|---------------|
+| Zig | `const std = @import("std");` | `std := @import("std");` |
+| Rust | `use std::math::pi;` | `{ pi } := @import("std").math;` |
+| Python | `from std.math import pi` | `{ pi } := @import("std").math;` |
+

+    if (!ok) return error.ExpectFailed;
+    return;
+}

+pub fn c_str_len(s: [*:0]const u8) -> usize { ... }
+pub fn c_str_to_slice(s: [*:0]const u8) -> []const u8 { ... }
+```
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. **Comptime-first**: Prefer compile-time evaluation where possible
+2. **Bounded**: All containers have fixed capacity (NASA Power of 10)
+3. **No allocations**: Standard library never allocates at runtime
+4. **Pure functions**: Math and bit operations are pure, side-effect free
+5. **QEC-focused**: Include primitives that QEC workflows commonly need
+6. **FFI-friendly**: Types that work well across the Rust boundary
+
+## Implementation Priority
+
+| Module | Priority | Rationale |
+|--------|----------|-----------|
+| std.math | High | Gates need angle constants |
+| std.bits | High | Syndrome processing |
+| std.qec | High | Core QEC workflows |
+| std.mem | Medium | Bounded containers |
+| std.testing | Medium | Quality assurance |
+| std.ffi | Medium | Rust integration |
+| std.fmt | Lower | Nice to have |
+| std.io | Lower | Constrained I/O |
+| std.debug | Lower | Development aid |

+# Zlup IDE Setup
+
+This guide covers setting up IDE support for Zlup development, including syntax highlighting and LSP features (diagnostics, hover, completions).
+
+## Building the LSP Server
+
+The Zlup LSP server (`zlups`) provides diagnostics, hover information, and basic completions.
+
+```bash
+# From the repository root
+cargo build --features "cli lsp" --bin zlups --release
+
+# The binary will be at:
+# target/release/zlups
+```
+
+## Neovim
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Neovim 0.8+ with LSP support
+- [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig)
+
+### Setup
+
+1. **Register the filetype** in your `init.lua`:
+
+```lua
+vim.filetype.add {
+  extension = {
+    zlp = 'zlup',
+  },
+}
+```
+
+2. **Configure the LSP** in your plugin configuration (e.g., `lua/custom/plugins/zlup.lua`):
+
+```lua
+return {
+  'neovim/nvim-lspconfig',
+  config = function()
+    local lspconfig = require 'lspconfig'
+    local configs = require 'lspconfig.configs'
+
+    -- Register zlups as a custom LSP server
+    if not configs.zlups then
+      configs.zlups = {
+        default_config = {
+          cmd = { '/path/to/PECOS-alt/target/release/zlups' },
+          filetypes = { 'zlup' },
+          root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern('zlup.toml', '.git'),
+          settings = {},
+        },
+      }
+    end
+
+    -- Start the server
+    lspconfig.zlups.setup {}
+  end,
+}
+```
+
+Replace `/path/to/PECOS-alt` with the actual path to your PECOS repository.
+
+3. **Verify** by opening a `.zlp` file and running `:LspInfo`. You should see `zlups` attached.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- **LSP not starting**: Check that the `zlups` binary exists and is executable
+- **No diagnostics**: Restart the LSP with `:LspRestart zlups`
+- **Check logs**: `:LspLog` shows LSP communication logs
+
+## JetBrains IDEs (RustRover, IntelliJ, CLion, etc.)
+
+There are two options for JetBrains IDE support:
+
+### Option 1: LSP4IJ Plugin (Recommended)
+
+[LSP4IJ](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/23257-lsp4ij) is a generic LSP client plugin that works with any JetBrains IDE.
+
+1. **Install LSP4IJ** from the JetBrains Marketplace:
+   - Settings → Plugins → Marketplace → Search "LSP4IJ" → Install
+
+2. **Configure the LSP server**:
+   - Settings → Languages & Frameworks → LSP4IJ → Language Servers
+   - Add a new server:
+     - **Name**: `zlups`
+     - **Command**: `/path/to/PECOS-alt/target/release/zlups`
+     - **File patterns**: `*.zlp`
+
+3. **Associate the file type**:
+   - Settings → Editor → File Types
+   - Add `*.zlp` to a text-based file type (or create a new one called "Zlup")
+
+### Option 2: Zlup Plugin (Syntax Highlighting Only)
+
+A basic JetBrains plugin is available at `exp/zlup/editors/jetbrains-zlup/`. This provides syntax highlighting but not LSP features.
+
+#### Building the Plugin
+
+```bash
+cd exp/zlup/editors/jetbrains-zlup
+./gradlew buildPlugin
+
+# The plugin ZIP will be at:
+# build/distributions/jetbrains-zlup-0.1.0.zip
+```
+
+#### Installing
+
+1. Settings → Plugins → Gear icon → Install Plugin from Disk
+2. Select `jetbrains-zlup-0.1.0.zip`
+3. Restart the IDE
+
+#### Features
+
+- Syntax highlighting for keywords, types, gates, comments
+- File type registration for `.zlp` files
+
+For full LSP support (diagnostics, hover), combine with LSP4IJ.
+
+## VS Code
+
+### Quick Setup (No Extension Required)
+
+You can use a generic LSP client extension to get Zlup support without creating a custom extension.
+
+#### Using vscode-glspc (Generic LSP Client)
+
+1. **Install** [Generic LSP Client](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AaaronSun.vscode-glspc) from the marketplace
+
+2. **Add to your `settings.json`**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "glspc.serverPath": "/path/to/PECOS-alt/target/release/zlups",
+  "glspc.languageId": "zlup",
+  "files.associations": {
+    "*.zlp": "zlup"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Using lsp-client Extension
+
+Alternatively, use [LSP Client](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AperiodicSierra.lsp-client):
+
+1. **Install** the extension
+2. **Configure in `settings.json`**:
+
+```json
+{
+  "lsp-client.serverCommand": "/path/to/PECOS-alt/target/release/zlups",
+  "lsp-client.fileExtensions": [".zlp"],
+  "files.associations": {
+    "*.zlp": "plaintext"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Basic Syntax Highlighting
+
+For syntax highlighting without a full extension, add to `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
+    "textMateRules": [
+      {
+        "scope": "keyword.control.zlup",
+        "settings": { "foreground": "#C586C0" }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For full syntax highlighting, a TextMate grammar or custom extension would be needed.
+
+### Creating a Full Extension (Advanced)
+
+For a complete VS Code extension with syntax highlighting and LSP:
+
+1. Use `yo code` to scaffold a language extension
+2. Add a TextMate grammar for `.zlp` files
+3. Configure the LSP client in `extension.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import * as vscode from 'vscode';
+import { LanguageClient, LanguageClientOptions, ServerOptions } from 'vscode-languageclient/node';
+
+export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
+  const serverOptions: ServerOptions = {
+    command: '/path/to/PECOS-alt/target/release/zlups',
+  };
+
+  const clientOptions: LanguageClientOptions = {
+    documentSelector: [{ scheme: 'file', language: 'zlup' }],
+  };
+
+  const client = new LanguageClient('zlups', 'Zlup Language Server', serverOptions, clientOptions);
+  client.start();
+}
+```
+
+Contributions for a full VS Code extension are welcome!
+
+## LSP Features
+
+The `zlups` server currently provides:
+
+| Feature | Status |
+|---------|--------|
+| Diagnostics (errors/warnings) | Supported |
+| Hover (type information) | Supported |
+| Go to Definition | Supported |
+| Completions | Context-aware |
+| Formatting | Supported |
+
+### Feature Details
+
+**Go to Definition**: Jump to where variables, functions, and types are defined. Use `gd` in Neovim or Ctrl+Click in JetBrains/VS Code.
+
+**Context-aware Completions**:
+- After `.` on allocators: suggests `child()`, `release()`, etc.
+- After `:` or `->`: suggests types (`u32`, `void`, `bool`, etc.)
+- General context: keywords, quantum gates, built-in functions
+
+**Formatting**: Formats code with consistent indentation and spacing. Use `:lua vim.lsp.buf.format()` in Neovim or the IDE's format command.
+
+## Development
+
+### Rebuilding After Changes
+
+When modifying the parser, semantic analyzer, or LSP server:
+
+```bash
+cargo build --features "cli lsp" --bin zlups --release
+```
+
+Then restart the LSP in your editor:
+- Neovim: `:LspRestart zlups`
+- JetBrains: Restart the IDE or disable/enable the LSP server
+
+### Testing LSP
+
+A test file is provided at `exp/zlup/examples/test_lsp.zlp` for verifying LSP functionality.

+# Zlup
+
+> **EXPERIMENTAL / EXPLORATORY** - Zlup is a research experiment, not a production language.
+
+A quantum programming language for QEC research: simple, low-level, and predictable by design.
+
+## Overview
+
+Zlup is the **low-level complement to Guppy** in the PECOS ecosystem. While Guppy provides a high-level, Pythonic experience with linear types for safety, Zlup explores a different approach:
+
+| | Guppy | Zlup |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Philosophy** | High-level, Pythonic | Low-level, explicit |
+| **Safety mechanism** | Linear type system | Constraints make unsafe impossible |
+| **Target users** | QEC researchers | Systems programmers |
+
+## Quick Example
+
+```zlup
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Create GHZ state
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    cx (q[1], q[2]);
+    cx (q[2], q[3]);
+
+    // Measure all qubits
+    results: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]];
+
+    // Emit results to runtime
+    result("measurements", results);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## A Closer Look: QEC Workflow
+
+Here's a more complete program that shows off much of the language. It implements a
+simple repetition code QEC workflow: encoding, multiple syndrome extraction rounds,
+decoding, correction, and result emission.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+/// Repetition Code QEC Demo
+///
+/// Demonstrates Zlup's features through a 3-qubit bit-flip code:
+/// structs, error/fault sets, child allocators, tick blocks,
+/// measurements, bounded loops, control flow, and more.
+
+std := @import("std");
+
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Types
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+/// Packed syndrome from two stabilizer measurements.
+Syndrome := struct {
+    bits: u2,       // two parity bits packed into a u2
+
+    /// Decode syndrome to a qubit index (or none if no error).
+    pub fn error_location(&self) -> ?u2 {
+        return switch (self.bits) {
+            0b00 => none,   // no error
+            0b10 => 0,      // error on data[0]
+            0b11 => 1,      // error on data[1]
+            0b01 => 2,      // error on data[2]
+        };
+    }
+};
+
+/// Stats collected across rounds.
+RoundStats := struct {
+    rounds_run:  u32,
+    corrections: u32,
+};
+
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Error and fault sets
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+/// Classical errors — something unexpected in the logic.
+DecodeError := error { AmbiguousSyndrome };
+
+/// Quantum faults — expected hardware imperfections.
+HwFault := fault { Leakage, Crosstalk };
+
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Helper functions
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+/// Apply a bit-flip correction to a single data qubit.
+fn apply_correction(data: *Allocator, idx: u2) -> unit {
+    x data[idx];
+    @emit.log.debug(f"corrected qubit {idx}");
+    return;
+}
+
+/// Measure the two Z-stabilizers of the 3-qubit repetition code.
+///
+/// Uses child allocators to separate data and ancilla concerns,
+/// tick blocks to express parallelism, and pack measurement.
+fn measure_syndrome(data: *Allocator, ancilla: *Allocator) -> Syndrome {
+    // Reset ancillas before each round
+    pz ancilla;
+
+    // Stabilizer circuits run in parallel where possible
+    @attr(round, "syndrome")
+    tick stabilizers {
+        // Z₀Z₁ stabilizer
+        cx (data[0], ancilla[0]);
+        cx (data[1], ancilla[0]);
+
+        // Z₁Z₂ stabilizer
+        cx (data[1], ancilla[1]);
+        cx (data[2], ancilla[1]);
+    }
+
+    // Measure ancillas, packing two bits into a u2
+    bits: u2 = mz(pack u2) [ancilla[0], ancilla[1]];
+    return Syndrome { bits };
+}
+
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Entry point

+    }

+    // --- Run several syndrome extraction rounds ---
+    num_rounds := 4;
+    mut stats := RoundStats { rounds_run: 0, corrections: 0 };
+
+    for round in 0..num_rounds {
+        syndrome := measure_syndrome(&data, &ancilla);

+        @emit.log.info(f"round {round}: syndrome = 0b{syndrome.bits:02b}");

+        // Decode and maybe correct

+## Design Philosophy
+
+**Simple. Explicit. No magic.**
+
+- **Safe by constraint**: No recursion, no escaping references, no dangling pointers
+- **NASA Power of 10**: Bounded loops, fixed resources, explicit control flow
+- **Zig semantics, Rust/Python syntax**: Familiar surface, powerful foundations
+
+## Getting Started
+
+- [Tutorial](tutorial.md) - Learn the basics
+- [Error Handling Guide](tutorial-error-handling.md) - Faults vs errors, QEC patterns
+- [CLI Reference](cli.md) - Command-line interface
+- [Language Syntax](syntax.md) - Complete reference
+- [IDE Setup](ide-setup.md) - Editor configuration
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Type System
+- Arrays `[N]T` vs Slices `[]T` - distinct types
+- Slice syntax: `arr[0..5]`, `arr[2..]`, `arr[..5]`, `arr[..]`
+- Aliases for safe slice views: `alias data := q[0..4]`
+
+### Error Handling
+- **Faults** (physical/quantum) vs **Errors** (logical/classical)
+- `try` blocks collect faults, stop on errors (QEC pattern)
+- `try!` blocks stop on first fault or error (strict mode)
+- Error unions `Error!T` for explicit error handling
+
+### Quantum Operations
+- Allocator-based qubit management: `q := qalloc(4)`
+- Batch operations: `h {q[0], q[1], q[2]}`
+- Typed measurements: `result: u8 = mz(pack u8) qubits`
+
+### Safety Model
+- Escape analysis prevents returning references to locals
+- Recursion unconditionally forbidden
+- Duplicate qubit detection in parallel operations

+# Zlup-Rust Integration Guide
+
+This document describes how to write Rust code that integrates with Zlup, including traits, FFI conventions, and the `zlup-ffi` crate.
+
+## Overview
+
+Zlup is designed to orchestrate quantum operations while delegating complex classical computation to native code. Rust is the preferred language for this native layer due to its safety guarantees.
+
+The integration story has three parts:
+
+1. **`zlup-ffi` crate** - Rust library providing traits, types, and macros
+2. **C ABI conventions** - How Zlup calls into Rust (via `extern "C"`)
+3. **Code generation** - Zlup compiler can generate Rust bindings
+
+## Architecture
+

+```
+
+## The `zlup-ffi` Crate
+
+### Installation
+
+```toml
+# Cargo.toml
+[dependencies]
+zlup-ffi = "0.1"
+```
+
+### Core Traits
+
+#### `Decoder` Trait
+
+The primary trait for implementing decoders:
+
+```rust
+use zlup_ffi::prelude::*;
+
+/// A decoder that maps syndromes to corrections.
+pub trait Decoder: Send + Sync {
+    /// The syndrome type (typically u64 or a custom packed type)
+    type Syndrome: SyndromeData;
+
+    /// The correction type (typically u64 or a custom packed type)
+    type Correction: CorrectionData;
+
+    /// Decode a syndrome into a correction.
+    fn decode(&self, syndrome: Self::Syndrome) -> Self::Correction;
+
+    /// Optional: decode with soft information (for ML decoders)
+    fn decode_soft(&self, syndrome: Self::Syndrome, soft_info: &[f32]) -> Self::Correction {
+        self.decode(syndrome)  // Default: ignore soft info
+    }
+
+    /// Optional: reset decoder state between shots
+    fn reset(&mut self) {}
+}
+```
+
+#### `NoiseModel` Trait
+
+For simulation backends:
+
+```rust
+/// A noise model that can be applied to quantum state.
+pub trait NoiseModel: Send + Sync {
+    /// Apply noise after a gate operation.
+    fn apply_gate_noise(&self, gate: GateType, qubits: &[QubitId], rng: &mut dyn Rng);
+
+    /// Apply measurement noise.
+    fn apply_measurement_noise(&self, qubit: QubitId, rng: &mut dyn Rng) -> bool;
+
+    /// Apply idle noise for a time step.
+    fn apply_idle_noise(&self, qubits: &[QubitId], rng: &mut dyn Rng);
+}
+```
+
+#### `Simulator` Trait
+
+For custom simulation backends:
+
+```rust
+/// A quantum state simulator.
+pub trait Simulator: Send + Sync {
+    /// Apply a gate to the state.
+    fn apply_gate(&mut self, gate: GateType, qubits: &[QubitId]);
+
+    /// Measure a qubit in the Z basis.
+    fn measure_z(&mut self, qubit: QubitId) -> bool;
+
+    /// Reset a qubit to |0⟩.
+    fn reset(&mut self, qubit: QubitId);
+
+    /// Get the current state vector (for debugging).
+    fn state_vector(&self) -> Option<&[Complex64]> { None }
+}
+```
+
+### FFI-Safe Types
+
+The crate provides FFI-safe equivalents of common types:
+
+```rust
+use zlup_ffi::types::*;
+
+// Packed syndrome/correction data
+pub struct PackedBits<const N: usize> { /* ... */ }
+type Syndrome64 = PackedBits<64>;
+type Syndrome128 = PackedBits<128>;
+
+// Qubit identifiers
+pub struct QubitId(u32);
+
+// Gate types
+#[repr(C)]
+pub enum GateType {
+    H, X, Y, Z, S, T, Sdg, Tdg,
+    Sx, Sy, Sz,
+    Rx(f64), Ry(f64), Rz(f64),
+    Cx, Cy, Cz, Ch,
+    Swap, Iswap,
+    Sxx, Syy, Szz,
+    Rzz(f64), Rxx(f64), Ryy(f64),
+    Ccx,
+}
+
+// Error types for FFI
+#[repr(C)]
+pub struct FfiResult<T> {
+    pub ok: bool,
+    pub value: T,
+    pub error_code: u32,
+}
+```
+
+### The `#[zlup_export]` Macro
+
+This proc macro generates the C ABI wrappers automatically:
+
+```rust
+use zlup_ffi::prelude::*;
+
+pub struct MwpmDecoder {
+    // decoder state
+}
+
+#[zlup_export]
+impl Decoder for MwpmDecoder {
+    type Syndrome = u64;
+    type Correction = u64;
+
+    fn decode(&self, syndrome: u64) -> u64 {
+        // MWPM algorithm implementation
+        todo!()
+    }
+}
+```
+
+The macro generates:
+
+```rust
+// Auto-generated C ABI exports
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_decoder_new() -> *mut MwpmDecoder { /* ... */ }
+
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_decoder_decode(
+    decoder: *const MwpmDecoder,
+    syndrome: u64,
+) -> u64 { /* ... */ }
+
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_decoder_free(decoder: *mut MwpmDecoder) { /* ... */ }
+```
+
+### Example: Complete MWPM Decoder
+
+```rust
+use zlup_ffi::prelude::*;
+
+/// Minimum Weight Perfect Matching decoder for surface codes.
+pub struct MwpmDecoder {
+    distance: usize,
+    graph: MatchingGraph,
+}
+
+impl MwpmDecoder {
+    pub fn new(distance: usize) -> Self {
+        Self {
+            distance,
+            graph: MatchingGraph::for_surface_code(distance),
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+#[zlup_export(name = "mwpm")]
+impl Decoder for MwpmDecoder {
+    type Syndrome = u64;
+    type Correction = u64;
+
+    fn decode(&self, syndrome: u64) -> u64 {
+        let defects = self.syndrome_to_defects(syndrome);
+        let matching = self.graph.minimum_weight_matching(&defects);
+        self.matching_to_correction(matching)
+    }
+
+    fn reset(&mut self) {
+        self.graph.clear_cache();
+    }
+}
+
+impl MwpmDecoder {
+    fn syndrome_to_defects(&self, syndrome: u64) -> Vec<DefectNode> {
+        // Convert packed syndrome bits to defect graph nodes
+        todo!()
+    }
+
+    fn matching_to_correction(&self, matching: Matching) -> u64 {
+        // Convert matching result to correction operators
+        todo!()
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Using Rust Decoders from Zlup
+
+### Declaring External Functions
+
+In Zlup, declare the external decoder interface:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Declare external decoder functions
+extern "C" {
+    fn mwpm_new(distance: u32) -> *Decoder;
+    fn mwpm_decode(decoder: *Decoder, syndrome: u64) -> u64;
+    fn mwpm_free(decoder: *Decoder) -> unit;
+}
+```
+
+### Using the Decoder
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    // Initialize decoder (typically once at program start)
+    decoder := mwpm_new(5);  // distance-5 surface code
+    defer mwpm_free(decoder);
+
+    q := qalloc(25);  // 25 data qubits for d=5
+    ancilla := qalloc(24);  // 24 syndrome qubits
+
+    // QEC round
+    for round in 0..100 {
+        // Syndrome extraction
+        pz ancilla;
+        // ... stabilizer measurements ...
+        syndrome: u64 = mz(pack u64) ancilla[0..24];
+
+        // Decode (FFI call to Rust)
+        correction := mwpm_decode(decoder, syndrome);
+
+        // Apply correction
+        apply_correction(q, correction);
+    }
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Build Integration
+
+### Linking Rust Libraries
+
+When compiling Zlup programs that use Rust FFI:
+
+```bash
+# Build the Rust decoder library
+cd my-decoder
+cargo build --release
+
+# Compile Zlup with the library
+zlup compile program.zlp \
+    --link-lib=my_decoder \
+    --lib-path=./my-decoder/target/release \
+    -o program
+```
+
+### Cargo Workspace Setup
+
+Recommended project structure:
+
+```
+my-qec-project/
+├── Cargo.toml           # Workspace root
+├── decoder/
+│   ├── Cargo.toml       # Rust decoder crate
+│   └── src/
+│       └── lib.rs
+├── zlup/
+│   ├── main.zlp         # Zlup orchestration code
+│   └── lib/             # Generated Zlup bindings
+└── build.rs             # Build script to coordinate
+```
+
+### Generated Bindings
+
+The `zlup` CLI can generate Zlup declarations from Rust code:
+
+```bash
+# Generate Zlup bindings from Rust crate
+zlup bindgen --rust ./decoder/src/lib.rs -o ./zlup/lib/decoder.zlp
+```
+
+This parses `#[zlup_export]` attributes and generates corresponding Zlup declarations.
+
+## Error Handling Across FFI
+
+### Rust Side
+
+Use `FfiResult` for fallible operations:
+
+```rust
+#[zlup_export]
+impl Decoder for MyDecoder {
+    // Infallible decode - preferred
+    fn decode(&self, syndrome: u64) -> u64 { /* ... */ }
+}
+
+// For fallible operations, use explicit error returns
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn decoder_init(
+    config_ptr: *const u8,
+    config_len: usize,
+    out_decoder: *mut *mut MyDecoder,
+) -> FfiResult<()> {
+    // Validate inputs
+    if config_ptr.is_null() {
+        return FfiResult::err(ErrorCode::NullPointer);
+    }
+
+    // Safe initialization
+    match MyDecoder::from_config(unsafe { std::slice::from_raw_parts(config_ptr, config_len) }) {
+        Ok(decoder) => {
+            unsafe { *out_decoder = Box::into_raw(Box::new(decoder)) };
+            FfiResult::ok(())
+        }
+        Err(e) => FfiResult::err(e.into()),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Zlup Side
+
+Handle FFI errors explicitly:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+result := decoder_init(config.ptr, config.len, &decoder);
+if !result.ok {
+    switch (result.error_code) {
+        1 => { /* handle null pointer */ },
+        2 => { /* handle invalid config */ },
+        else => { /* unknown error */ },
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Minimize FFI Calls
+
+Batch operations when possible:
+
+```rust
+// Good: batch decode
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_decode_batch(
+    decoder: *const MwpmDecoder,
+    syndromes: *const u64,
+    corrections: *mut u64,
+    count: usize,
+) { /* ... */ }
+```
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Zlup: batch call
+syndromes: [100]u64 = collect_syndromes();
+corrections: [100]u64 = undefined;
+mwpm_decode_batch(decoder, &syndromes, &corrections, 100);
+```
+
+### Avoid Allocations
+
+Pre-allocate buffers and reuse them:
+
+```rust
+pub struct MwpmDecoder {
+    // Pre-allocated working memory
+    defect_buffer: Vec<DefectNode>,
+    matching_buffer: Vec<Edge>,
+}
+
+impl MwpmDecoder {
+    fn decode(&mut self, syndrome: u64) -> u64 {
+        self.defect_buffer.clear();  // Reuse allocation
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Thread Safety
+
+Decoders implementing `Send + Sync` can be called from multiple Zlup threads:
+
+```rust
+// Thread-safe decoder with interior mutability
+pub struct ThreadSafeDecoder {
+    inner: RwLock<DecoderState>,
+}
+
+#[zlup_export(thread_safe)]
+impl Decoder for ThreadSafeDecoder {
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Testing in Rust
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_decode_no_errors() {

+
+## Module: bits
+
+Bitwise utilities for working with measurement results. Essential for syndrome processing in QEC.
+
+### Bit Counting (Population Count)
+
+Count the number of set bits (1s) in a value.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn popcount_u8(x: u8) -> u8
+fn popcount_u16(x: u16) -> u16
+fn popcount_u32(x: u32) -> u32
+fn popcount_u64(x: u64) -> u64
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```zlup_nocheck
+result: u8 = 0b10110100;
+weight := std.popcount_u8(result);  // 4
+```
+
+### Parity
+
+Compute parity (XOR of all bits). Returns 0 if even number of 1s, 1 if odd.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn parity_u8(x: u8) -> u1
+fn parity_u16(x: u16) -> u1
+fn parity_u32(x: u32) -> u1
+fn parity_u64(x: u64) -> u1
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Syndrome parity check
+syndrome: u8 = mz(pack u8) ancillas;
+if std.parity_u8(syndrome) == 1 {
+    // Odd parity - error detected
+}
+```
+
+### Bit Extraction
+
+Extract a single bit at the given index (0 = LSB).
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn get_bit_u8(x: u8, index: u8) -> u1
+fn get_bit_u16(x: u16, index: u16) -> u1
+fn get_bit_u32(x: u32, index: u32) -> u1
+fn get_bit_u64(x: u64, index: u64) -> u1
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```zlup_nocheck
+result: u8 = 0b10110100;
+bit2 := std.bits.get_bit_u8(result, 2);  // 1
+bit0 := std.bits.get_bit_u8(result, 0);  // 0
+```
+
+### Bit Manipulation
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn set_bit_u8(x: u8, index: u8) -> u8      // Set bit to 1
+fn clear_bit_u8(x: u8, index: u8) -> u8    // Set bit to 0
+fn toggle_bit_u8(x: u8, index: u8) -> u8   // Flip bit
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```zlup_nocheck
+x: u8 = 0b00000000;
+x = std.bits.set_bit_u8(x, 3);    // 0b00001000
+x = std.bits.toggle_bit_u8(x, 0); // 0b00001001
+x = std.bits.clear_bit_u8(x, 3);  // 0b00000001
+```
+
+### Byte Order
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn reverse_bits_u8(x: u8) -> u8           // Reverse bit order
+fn swap_bytes_u16(x: u16) -> u16          // Swap bytes (endianness)
+fn swap_bytes_u32(x: u32) -> u32          // Swap bytes
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```zlup_nocheck
+x: u8 = 0b10110100;
+reversed := std.bits.reverse_bits_u8(x);  // 0b00101101

+
+// Overlapping aliases are compile-time errors:
+alias overlap := arr[2..6];  // ERROR: overlaps with 'data'
+```
+
+**Alias constraints:**
+- Source must be a slice expression (e.g., `arr[0..4]`)
+- Range bounds must be comptime-evaluable for overlap checking
+- Aliases are immutable (cannot be reassigned)
+- Overlapping ranges on the same source are errors
+
+### Assignment Operators
+
+| Operator | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `=` | Assignment |
+| `+=` | Add and assign |
+| `-=` | Subtract and assign |
+| `*=` | Multiply and assign |
+| `/=` | Divide and assign |
+| `&=` | Bitwise AND and assign |
+| `\|=` | Bitwise OR and assign |

+
+---
+
+## Types
+
+### Primitive Types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `bool` | Boolean (true/false) |
+| `uN` | Unsigned N-bit integer (N = 1-128), e.g., `u1`, `u7`, `u32`, `u128` |
+| `iN` | Signed N-bit integer (N = 1-128), e.g., `i8`, `i32`, `i64` |
+| `usize`, `isize` | Pointer-sized integers |
+| `f16`, `f32`, `f64`, `f128` | Floating point |
+| `a64` | Angle type (for gate rotations) |
+| `unit` | Unit type (no value) |
+| `type` | Type as a value (comptime) |
+| `anytype` | Any type (comptime) |
+
+Like Zig, Zlup supports arbitrary-width integers from 1 to 128 bits. This is useful for:
+- Bit-packed measurement results: `u1`, `u2`, `u4`
+- Syndrome values: `u3` for 3-bit syndromes
+- Efficient storage: use exactly the bits you need
+
+### Quantum Types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `qubit` | Single qubit |
+| `bit` | Classical bit |
+
+### Compound Types
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Arrays (fixed size, known at compile time)
+[4]u32                      // Array of 4 u32
+[_]u8                       // Size inferred from initializer
+
+// Slices (dynamic view into contiguous memory)
+[]u8                        // Slice of u8
+[]const u8                  // Immutable slice
+[][]i32                     // Slice of slices (2D)
+
+// Pointers
+*u32                        // Single-item pointer
+[*]u8                       // Many-item pointer
+[*:0]u8                     // Sentinel-terminated
+
+// Optionals
+?u32                        // Optional u32
+
+// Error unions
+Error!u32                   // u32 or Error
+
+// Tuples
+(u32, bool)                 // Tuple of u32 and bool
+(u32, u32, u32)             // 3-element tuple
+
+// Sets
+Set(u32)                    // Set of u32
+```
+
+### Array and Slice Operations
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Indexing (returns element)
+arr[0]                      // First element
+matrix[0][1]                // Nested indexing
+
+// Slicing (returns slice)
+arr[0..5]                   // Elements 0 to 4 (exclusive end)
+arr[2..]                    // From index 2 to end
+arr[..5]                    // From start to index 4
+arr[..]                     // Full slice (all elements)
+
+// Chained slicing
+arr[1..10][2..5]            // Slice of a slice
+
+// Array to slice conversion
+slice := arr[..];           // Convert array to slice
+```
+
+**Note:** Arrays (`[N]T`) and slices (`[]T`) are distinct types. To pass an array where a slice is expected, use `arr[..]` to create a slice view.
+
+### Type Expressions
+
+```zlup_nocheck

+fn(u32, u32) -> u32
+
+// Comptime types

+```
+
+---
+
+## Control Flow
+
+### If Statements
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Simple if
+if condition {
+    // body
+}
+
+// If-else
+if condition {
+    // true branch
+} else {
+    // false branch
+}
+
+// If-else if chain
+if a {
+    // ...
+} else if b {
+    // ...
+} else {
+    // ...
+}
+
+// Optional unwrapping (walrus operator)
+if value := optional {
+    // value is unwrapped here
+}
+```
+
+### If Expressions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// If as expression (requires parentheses and else)
+result := if (condition) { value1 } else { value2 };
+```
+
+### For Loops
+
+All loops must have bounded iteration.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Range loop
+for i in 0..10 {
+    // i goes from 0 to 9
+}
+
+// With index
+for i, item in items {
+    // i is index, item is value
+}
+
+// Inline for (comptime unrolling)
+inline for i in 0..4 {
+    h q[i];
+}
+// Unrolls to: h q[0]; h q[1]; h q[2]; h q[3];
+
+// Nested inline for
+inline for i in 0..2 {
+    inline for j in 0..3 {
+        cx (q[i], q[j + 2]);
+    }
+}
+// Unrolls to 6 cx gates
+```
+
+**Inline for constraints:**
+- Range bounds must be comptime-evaluable (literals or comptime constants)
+- `break` and `continue` are not allowed inside inline for bodies
+- Maximum unroll limit of 1024 iterations for safety
+
+### Switch Statements
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+switch (value) {
+    0 => { /* handle 0 */ },
+    1, 2 => { /* handle 1 or 2 */ },
+    3..10 => { /* handle range */ },
+    else => { /* default */ },
+}
+```
+
+### Control Flow Keywords
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+return value;           // Return from function
+return;                 // Return unit (shorthand for return unit;)
+break;                  // Exit loop
+break :label value;     // Break with label and value
+continue;               // Next iteration
+continue :label;        // Continue outer loop
+```
+
+### Labeled Blocks
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+result := blk: {
+    if condition {
+        break :blk value1;
+    }
+    break :blk value2;
+};
+```
+
+### Unsafe Blocks
+
+Unsafe blocks provide an escape hatch from strict mode constraints. They allow operations that are normally forbidden, such as recursion. Unsafe blocks are **forbidden by default** and require the `--allow-unsafe` flag.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Recursion inside unsafe block (requires --allow-unsafe)
+fn factorial(n: u32) -> u32 {
+    unsafe {
+        if n <= 1 { return 1; }
+        return n * factorial(n - 1);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**What unsafe allows:**
+- Recursive function calls
+- Gates on potentially unprepared qubits
+- Other strict mode violations
+
+**What unsafe does NOT allow:**
+- Type errors (still checked)
+- Undefined variables (still checked)
+- Syntax errors (still checked)
+
+Unsafe blocks follow Rust's philosophy: make potentially dangerous operations explicit and auditable. Production code can ban all unsafe by not passing `--allow-unsafe`.

+    x: f64,
+    y: f64,
+
+    pub fn distance(&self) -> f64 {

+// Named fields (Rust-style)
+p := Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 };
+
+// Anonymous struct
+data := .{ x: 1, y: 2 };
+
+// Shorthand (when variable name matches field)
+x := 1.0;

+p := Point { x, y };
+```
+
+### Enum Declaration
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+Color := enum {
+    Red,
+    Green,

+    }
+};
+
+// Usage
+stack: Stack(u32, 64) = .{};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Sets
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Define error set
+FileError := error { NotFound, PermissionDenied, IoError };
+
+// Error value literal
+err := error.NotFound;
+```
+
+### Fault Sets (Quantum)
+

+// Define fault set
+QuantumFault := fault { Leakage, QubitLoss };
+
+// Fault value literal
+f := fault.Leakage;
+```
+
+### Error Unions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Function returning error union
+fn read(path: []const u8) -> FileError![]u8 {
+    if !exists(path) {
+        return error.NotFound;
+    }
+    return data;
+}
+```
+
+### Handling Errors
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Propagate with try
+data := try read("file.txt");
+
+// Handle with catch
+data := read("file.txt") catch |err| {
+    // handle error
+    return default;
+};
+
+// Default value
+data := read("file.txt") catch "default";
+```
+
+### Try Blocks
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Collect all errors (QEC pattern)
+errors := try {
+    risky_op1();
+    risky_op2();
+};
+
+// Stop on first error
+result := try! {
+    step1();
+    step2();
+} catch |err| handle(err);
+```
+
+### Defer
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn process() -> unit {
+    resource := acquire();
+    defer release(resource);  // Runs on scope exit
+
+    // Use resource...
+    return;
+}
+
+// Error-specific defer
+errdefer |err| cleanup(err);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quantum Operations
+
+### Allocators
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Allocate qubits
+q := qalloc(4);
+
+// Child allocators
+mut main := qalloc(10);
+data := main.child(4);
+ancilla := main.child(6);
+```
+
+### Prepare (Reset)
+
+```zlup_fragment
+pz q;           // Prepare all
+pz q[0];        // Prepare one
+pz {q[0], q[1]}; // Batch prepare
+```
+
+### Single-Qubit Gates
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Pauli gates
+x q[0];    y q[0];    z q[0];
+
+// Hadamard
+h q[0];
+
+// T gates (fourth root of Z)
+t q[0];    tdg q[0];
+
+// Square root gates (sz is the S gate, sqrt of Z)
+sx q[0];   sy q[0];   sz q[0];
+sxdg q[0]; sydg q[0]; szdg q[0];
+```
+
+### Rotation Gates
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Parameterized rotations
+rx(angle) q[0];
+ry(angle) q[0];
+rz(angle) q[0];
+```
+
+### Two-Qubit Gates
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Controlled gates (control, target)
+cx (q[0], q[1]);
+cy (q[0], q[1]);
+cz (q[0], q[1]);
+ch (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Swap
+swap (q[0], q[1]);
+iswap (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Ising gates
+sxx (q[0], q[1]);
+syy (q[0], q[1]);
+szz (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Parameterized
+rzz(angle) (q[0], q[1]);
+crz(angle) (q[0], q[1]);
+```
+
+### Three-Qubit Gates
+
+```zlup_fragment
+ccx (q[0], q[1], q[2]);  // Toffoli
+```
+
+### Batch Operations
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Apply same gate to multiple qubits
+h {q[0], q[1], q[2]};
+
+// Batch two-qubit gates
+cx {(q[0], q[1]), (q[2], q[3])};
+
+// Batch rotations
+rx(angle) {q[0], q[1]};
+```
+
+### Measurement
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Single qubit
+result: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];
+
+// Multiple qubits into array
+results: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]];
+
+// Measure entire register
+all_bits := mz([4]u1) q;
+
+// Pack into integer
+syndrome: u8 = mz(pack u8) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3], q[4], q[5], q[6], q[7]];
+
+// Pack into custom struct (for QEC syndromes, etc.)
+Syndrome := struct { x_parity: u1, z_parity: u1, flags: u2 };
+syndrome := mz(pack Syndrome) [ancilla[0], ancilla[1], ancilla[2], ancilla[3]];
+```
+
+The `pack` modifier fills bits sequentially into the target type's bit layout.
+Without `pack`, each qubit produces one value of type T (count must match exactly).
+
+### Tick Blocks
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Group parallel operations
+tick {
+    h q[0];
+    h q[1];
+}
+
+// Named tick with attributes
+@attr(round, 0)
+tick syndrome_check {
+    // operations
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Attributes
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Single attribute
+@attr(key, value)
+
+// Multiple attributes
+@attrs({key1: value1, key2: value2})
+
+// On declarations
+@attr(inline, true)
+fn fast_op() -> unit { }
+
+// On tick blocks
+@attr(round, 0)
+tick { }
+```
+
+---
+
+## Modules
+
+### Import
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Import standard library
+std := @import("std");
+
+// Import local module

+pub x := 42;
+
+// Public function
+pub fn helper() -> unit { }
+
+// Public type
+pub Point := struct { x: f64, y: f64 };
+```

+### Builtins
+
+| Builtin | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `@import(path)` | Import module |
+| `@size_of(T)` | Size of type in bytes |
+| `@type_info(T)` | Returns structured type information (kind, name, fields, etc.) |
+| `@type_name(T)` | Type name as string |
+| `@field_names(T)` | Returns array of struct field names |
+| `@enum_fields(T)` | Returns array of enum variant names |

+
+---
+
+## Logging
+
+Zlup provides built-in structured logging with namespace filtering.
+
+### Basic Logging
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Standard log levels
+@emit.log.trace(f"detailed trace");
+@emit.log.debug(f"debug info");
+@emit.log.info(f"general info");
+@emit.log.warn(f"warning");
+@emit.log.error(f"error");
+```
+
+### With Namespace
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Sub-namespace for filtering
+@emit.log.debug("decoder", f"processing syndrome");
+@emit.log.info("qec::round", f"round complete");
+```
+
+### With Structured Data
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Attach data for structured logging
+@emit.log.debug(f"state", data: current_state);
+@emit.log.info(f"result", data: measurement_results);
+```
+
+### Custom Log Levels
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Numeric levels for fine-grained control
+@emit.log.at(15, f"between trace and debug");
+@emit.log.at(25, "perf", f"timing metric");
+```
+
+### Log Levels
+
+| Level | Priority | Description |
+|-------|----------|-------------|
+| `trace` | 0 | Very detailed tracing |
+| `debug` | 100 | Debug information |
+| `info` | 200 | General information |
+| `warn` | 300 | Warnings |
+| `error` | 400 | Errors |
+
+### Runtime Filtering (ZLUP_LOG)
+
+```bash
+# All logs at debug and above
+ZLUP_LOG=debug ./program
+
+# Only errors
+ZLUP_LOG=error ./program
+
+# By namespace
+ZLUP_LOG=mymodule=trace ./program
+ZLUP_LOG=mymodule::decoder=debug ./program
+```
+
+### Compile-Time Elision
+
+```bash
+# Release mode - remove all logs
+zlup compile --release program.zlp
+
+# Keep only warn and error
+zlup compile --log-level 300 program.zlp
+```
+
+---
+
+## Result Emission
+
+The `result()` function emits tagged values as program outputs. Unlike logs, results are **never elided** - they're essential for returning data from quantum programs.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Emit a measurement result
+result("measurement", m);
+
+// Emit computed values
+result("parity", parity_check);
+result("syndrome", syndrome_bits);
+```
+
+### Namespaced Tags
+
+Use `/` to organize results hierarchically:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// QEC results
+result("qec/syndrome", syndrome);
+result("qec/parity", parity);
+
+// Per-round results
+result("round_1/ancilla", ancilla_result);
+result("round_2/ancilla", ancilla_result);
+
+// Nested namespaces
+result("experiment/run_5/final_state", state);
+```
+
+### Supported Value Types
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+result("int_result", 42);           // Integers
+result("bool_result", true);        // Booleans
+result("float_result", 3.14);       // Floats
+result("array_result", [1, 2, 3]);  // Arrays
+```
+
+### Ordering
+
+Unlike `@emit.sim.*` and `@emit.log.*`, result expressions have **flexible scheduling**. They can "slip down" during compilation - the value just needs to be eventually recorded. This means:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+h q[0];
+result("before_cx", some_value);  // Could be reordered
+cx (q[0], q[1]);
+result("after_cx", other_value);
+```
+
+The compiler may batch or reorder result emissions as long as data dependencies are respected. This allows optimizations that wouldn't be possible with strict ordering.
+
+### Comparison with Guppy
+
+Zlup's `result()` is equivalent to Guppy's `result(tag, value)`:
+- Tag must be a compile-time string literal
+- Returns tagged (key, value) pairs to the caller
+- Essential for extracting data from quantum program execution
+
+### Entry Function Pattern
+
+Entry/main functions should return `unit` and use explicit `result()` calls to emit outputs:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    m := measure(q);
+    result("measurements", m);  // Emit to runtime
+}
+```
+
+This pattern keeps the return type simple and makes data emission explicit.
+
+---
+
+## Simulator Control
+
+The `@emit.sim.*` channel sends hints and commands to the simulator. These are **elided when targeting hardware** (`--target hardware`) but active for simulator and emulator targets.
+
+The sim channel is intentionally kept simple and flexible. Most communication uses `@emit.sim.send(key, value)` which the noise modeling interprets.
+
+### Noise Control
+
+Noise is **enabled by default**. Use these convenience functions to toggle:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+@emit.sim.noise_disable();  // Turn off noise
+@emit.sim.noise_enable();   // Turn on noise (default state)
+```
+
+### Generic Message Channel
+
+Use `@emit.sim.send(key, value)` for all other simulator communication:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Set RNG seed for reproducibility
+@emit.sim.send("seed", 12345);
+
+// Configure noise model
+@emit.sim.send("noise_model", "depolarizing");
+@emit.sim.send("noise_rate", 0.001);
+
+// Create checkpoints
+@emit.sim.send("checkpoint", "before_correction");
+
+// Any custom key-value pairs the simulator understands
+@emit.sim.send("custom_param", some_value);
+```
+
+### Full Example
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    // Set up reproducible simulation
+    @emit.sim.send("seed", 42);
+    @emit.sim.send("noise_model", "depolarizing");
+    @emit.sim.send("noise_rate", 0.001);
+
+    // Allocate and prepare
+    q := qalloc(3);
+    @emit.sim.send("checkpoint", "initial");
+
+    // Apply gates (noise enabled by default)
+    h q[0];
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    cx (q[0], q[2]);
+
+    @emit.sim.send("checkpoint", "after_encoding");
+
+    // Disable noise for measurement
+    @emit.sim.noise_disable();
+
+    // Measure
+    syndrome := mz(u8) q[1..3];
+
+    result("syndrome", syndrome);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### SLR Output
+
+Both `result(key, value)` and `@emit.sim.send(key, value)` generate a unified `SendStmt` in SLR:
+
+```json
+{"type": "SendStmt", "channel": "result", "key": "counts", "value": {...}}
+{"type": "SendStmt", "channel": "sim", "key": "seed", "value": 42}
+{"type": "SendStmt", "channel": "sim", "key": "noise_enable", "value": null}
+```
+
+The `channel` field distinguishes them for downstream handling (PECOS, etc.).
+
+### Ordering Semantics
+
+The three channels have different ordering/scheduling behavior:
+
+| Channel | Scheduling | Elision Behavior |
+|---------|------------|------------------|
+| `result(key, value)` | Flexible | Never elided - program output |
+| `@emit.sim.*` | Barrier | Elided for hardware, but preserves ordering |
+| `@emit.log.*` | Flexible | Can be fully elided in release mode |
+
+**Result expressions** can "slip" during optimization - they just need to eventually record the value. They have data dependencies on their value but can be reordered relative to other operations.
+
+**Simulator commands** (`@emit.sim.*`) act as synchronization points. `@emit.sim.noise_disable()` must happen *before* the operations it protects. When compiled for hardware targets, sim commands are elided but could optionally emit a barrier to preserve the same scheduling behavior as on simulator (currently they are completely elided).
+
+**Log expressions** (`@emit.log.*`) can be completely elided in release mode. Unlike sim commands, logs are purely for debugging - when elided, no semantic difference should exist. This allows optimizations to move operations across where logs used to be.
+
+**Current implementation:**
+- The SLR codegen processes statements in source order
+- `@emit.log.*` with elision returns no statement - complete removal, allows optimizations
+- `@emit.sim.*` for hardware emits a barrier by default to preserve ordering
+- Use `--elide-sim` flag for complete removal (max optimization, no ordering guarantee)
+- Downstream tools (PECOS, hardware compilers) may perform their own reordering
+
+**SimMode options:**
+| Mode | Behavior | Use case |
+|------|----------|----------|
+| `Emit` | Output actual SimStmt | Simulator target |
+| `Barrier` | Output scoped barrier | Hardware default - preserves ordering |
+| `Elide` | Complete removal | `--elide-sim` flag - max optimization |
+
+The barrier is scoped to allocators visible in the current scope, not a global barrier. This means `@emit.sim.*` commands only synchronize the qubits that are actually accessible at that point in the program.
+
+### Target-Dependent Behavior
+
+| Command | `--target simulator` | `--target hardware` | `--target hardware --elide-sim` |
+|---------|---------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------|
+| `@emit.sim.noise_enable()` | SimStmt | Barrier (no-op) | Elided |
+| `@emit.sim.noise_disable()` | SimStmt | Barrier (no-op) | Elided |
+| `@emit.sim.send(...)` | SimStmt | Barrier (no-op) | Elided |
+
+By default, hardware targets preserve ordering with barriers. Use `--elide-sim` for complete removal.
+
+---
+
+## Compilation Targets
+
+Zlup separates **what** you're compiling for (target) from **how** you serialize (format).
+
+### Execution Targets
+
+```bash
+# Simulator (default): full debug, relaxed constraints
+zlup compile program.zlp --target simulator
+
+# Hardware: strict constraints, simulation artifacts removed
+zlup compile program.zlp --target hardware
+
+# Emulator: hardware-like constraints with visibility
+zlup compile program.zlp --target emulator
+```
+
+### Output Formats
+
+```bash
+# SLR-AST JSON (default, for Python/PECOS)
+zlup compile program.zlp --format slr
+
+# PHIR JSON (PECOS simulator)
+zlup compile program.zlp --format phir-json
+
+# OpenQASM 2.0
+zlup compile program.zlp --format qasm
+```
+
+### Build Modes
+
+```bash
+# Debug (default): all logs, permissive
+zlup compile program.zlp --mode debug
+
+# Release: optimized, logs elided, strict
+zlup compile program.zlp --mode release
+```
+
+### Combined Examples
+
+```bash
+# Development workflow
+zlup compile program.zlp  # simulator + slr + debug
+
+# Production for hardware
+zlup compile program.zlp --target hardware --mode release
+
+# Simulation with QASM output
+zlup compile program.zlp --target simulator --format qasm
+
+# Full control
+zlup compile program.zlp \
+    --target hardware \
+    --format slr \
+    --mode release \
+    --strict true \
+    --log-level 400
+```
+
+### Effective Settings by Target + Mode
+
+| Target | Mode | Strict | Log Elision |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| simulator | debug | No | None (all logs) |
+| simulator | release | Yes | 100+ (debug+) |
+| hardware | debug | Yes | 300+ (warn+) |
+| hardware | release | Yes | 300+ (warn+) |
+| emulator | debug | Yes | 200+ (info+) |
+| emulator | release | Yes | 200+ (info+) |
+

+
+## The Faults vs Errors Distinction
+
+Zlup distinguishes between **faults** and **errors** based on where they originate and how
+we typically want to handle them:
+
+| Aspect | Fault | Error |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| **Origin** | Quantum hardware (physical layer) | Classical logic (software layer) |
+| **Nature** | Expected imperfection | Unexpected problem |
+| **Handling** | Collect for later analysis | Stop execution immediately |
+| **Keyword** | `fault` | `error` |
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+**Faults happen at the physical layer.** The quantum hardware did something imperfect:
+a gate didn't apply cleanly, a qubit leaked to a non-computational state, a measurement
+was noisy. These are *expected* - QEC is designed to handle a certain fault rate.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// A QEC round might see 50 faults - that's normal!
+// Stopping on every fault would make error correction impossible.
+faults, syndrome := syndrome_round(q);
+if faults.len < threshold {
+    // Still correctable - this is what QEC is for
+    apply_correction(decode(syndrome), q);
+}
+```
+
+**Errors happen at the logical layer.** Something in the classical algorithm went wrong:
+the decoder couldn't find a valid correction, a file wasn't found, an invalid state was
+reached. These indicate bugs or unrecoverable situations.
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// If the decoder says "I can't figure out a correction" - that's an error
+correction := decode(syndrome) catch |err| {
+    log("Decoder failed: {}", err);
+    return;  // Can't continue
+};
+```
+
+**Mental model:**
+- Faults = "expected badness we're designed to handle"
+- Errors = "unexpected badness that means something is wrong"
+
+---
+
+## Error Sets and Fault Sets
+
+Define your own error and fault types using the `error` and `fault` keywords:
+
+### Classical Error Sets
+
+```zlup
+// Define an error set for decoder failures
+DecodeError := error {
+    SyndromeAmbiguous,
+    WeightTooHigh,
+    NoValidCorrection,
+};
+
+// Error sets for I/O operations
+IoError := error {
+    FileNotFound,
+    PermissionDenied,
+    ConnectionLost,
+};
+
+// Create error values
+err := error.SyndromeAmbiguous;
+```
+
+### Quantum Fault Sets
+
+```zlup
+// Define a fault set for quantum hardware faults
+QuantumFault := fault {
+    Leakage,       // Qubit leaked to non-computational state
+    QubitLoss,     // Qubit physically lost
+    GateFailure,   // Gate didn't apply correctly
+    MeasurementError,  // Measurement gave wrong result
+};
+
+// Create fault values
+f := fault.Leakage;
+```
+
+### When to Use Each
+
+| Situation | Use |
+|-----------|-----|
+| Decoder can't find correction | `error` |
+| File I/O failed | `error` |
+| Invalid function argument | `error` |
+| Gate applied with noise | `fault` |
+| Qubit leaked to |2⟩ | `fault` |
+| Measurement bit flip | `fault` |
+
+---
+
+## Error Union Syntax
+
+Error unions express that a function can either return a value or an error/fault.
+
+### Basic Error Union: `E!T`
+
+The `E!T` syntax means "either error type E, or value type T":
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Function that might fail
+fn divide(a: f64, b: f64) -> DivError!f64 {
+    if b == 0.0 {
+        return error.DivisionByZero;
+    }
+    return a / b;
+}
+
+// Multiple error types
+fn read_config(path: []const u8) -> IoError!Config {
+    if !file_exists(path) {
+        return error.FileNotFound;
+    }
+    // ... parse and return config
+    return config;
+}
+```
+
+### Collected Faults: `[]E!T`
+
+For QEC patterns, you often want to collect all faults that occurred, plus either
+an error or the final value:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// This function collects quantum faults, might return a classical error
+fn qec_round(q: []qubit) try -> []QuantumFault!Syndrome {
+    // Faults collected, execution continues
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);  // Might fault
+    cx (q[1], q[2]);  // Might fault, still runs
+
+    syndrome := mz([3]u1) [q[3], q[4], q[5]];
+
+    // Classical error stops execution
+    correction := decode(syndrome);  // If this errors, we stop
+
+    return syndrome;
+}
+
+// Caller receives both faults and result
+faults, result := qec_round(q);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Handling Errors with catch
+
+The `catch` keyword handles errors when they occur:
+
+### Basic catch
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Provide a default value
+result := divide(10.0, x) catch 0.0;
+
+// Handle with a block
+result := divide(10.0, x) catch |err| {
+    log("Division failed: {}", err);
+    return 0.0;
+};
+
+// Transform the error
+result := read_config("settings.json") catch |err| {
+    log("Config load failed, using defaults");
+    return Config.default();
+};
+```
+
+### catch with Error Inspection
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn load_or_create(path: []const u8) -> Config {
+    config := read_config(path) catch |err| switch (err) {
+        error.FileNotFound => {
+            // File doesn't exist, create default
+            return Config.default();
+        },
+        error.PermissionDenied => {
+            log("Cannot read {}: permission denied", path);
+            abort();
+        },
+        else => {
+            log("Unexpected error: {}", err);
+            abort();
+        },
+    };
+    return config;
+}
+```
+
+### Unwrapping with `.!`
+
+When you're certain the value isn't an error, use `.!` to unwrap:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Only use when you know it will succeed
+result := divide(10.0, 2.0).!;  // We know 2.0 != 0
+
+// Better: use catch for safety
+result := divide(10.0, x) catch |_| abort();
+```
+
+---
+
+## Try Blocks: Collect vs Propagate
+
+Zlup provides two modes for handling errors within a scope:
+
+### `try!` - Stop on First Error/Fault (Strict Mode)
+
+The `try!` block stops immediately when any fault or error occurs:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn strict_preparation(q: []qubit) -> QuantumFault!unit {
+    try! {
+        pz q;             // If this faults, stop immediately
+        h q[0];           // Only runs if pz succeeded
+        cx (q[0], q[1]);  // Only runs if h succeeded
+    } catch |fault| {
+        log("Preparation failed: {}", fault);
+        return fault;
+    }
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Use `try!` when:
+- Running calibration sequences where any fault invalidates results
+- Debugging to find exactly where faults occur
+- Operations must succeed completely or not at all
+
+### `try` - Collect Faults, Stop on Errors (QEC Mode)
+
+The `try` block collects quantum faults but stops on classical errors:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn qec_syndrome_round(q: []qubit) -> ([]QuantumFault, DecodeError!Syndrome) {
+    faults, result := try {
+        // Quantum operations - faults collected, continues
+        cx (q[0], q[3]);  // Fault? Recorded, keep going
+        cx (q[1], q[3]);  // Fault? Recorded, keep going
+        cx (q[2], q[3]);  // Fault? Recorded, keep going
+
+        syndrome := mz([4]u1) [q[3], q[4], q[5], q[6]];
+
+        // Classical operation - error stops execution
+        correction := decode(syndrome);  // Error? Stop here
+
+        apply_correction(correction, q);
+        return syndrome;
+    };
+
+    // Handle the result
+    result catch |err| {
+        log("Decode failed after {} faults: {}", faults.len, err);
+        return;
+    };
+
+    // Success - might still have faults
+    if faults.len > 0 {
+        log("Round completed with {} faults", faults.len);
+    }
+    return faults, result;
+}
+```
+
+Use `try` when:
+- Running QEC rounds where some faults are expected
+- Collecting fault statistics for analysis
+- Operations should continue despite hardware imperfections
+
+### Behavior Summary
+
+| Mode | Quantum Fault | Classical Error | Return Type |
+|------|---------------|-----------------|-------------|
+| `try!` | **Stops immediately** | **Stops immediately** | `E!T` |
+| `try` | Collected, continues | Stops, returns collected faults | `([]Fault, E!T)` |
+
+---
+
+## Try Functions
+
+Functions can be declared with `try` or `try!` to indicate their error handling mode:
+
+### `try!` Functions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Strict mode: any fault/error stops execution
+fn calibrate_qubit(q: qubit) try! -> CalibrationFault!CalibrationData {
+    pz q;
+    h q;
+
+    // Repeated measurements for statistics
+    for i in 0..100 {
+        m := mz(u1) q;
+        record(m);
+        pz q;
+        h q;
+    }
+
+    return analyze_calibration();
+}
+
+// Caller handles single fault/error
+data := calibrate_qubit(q[0]) catch |fault| {
+    log("Calibration failed: {}", fault);
+    return;
+};
+```
+
+### `try` Functions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// QEC mode: faults collected, errors stop
+fn run_qec_cycle(code: *SurfaceCode) try -> []QuantumFault!unit {
+    // All operations in this function collect faults
+    code.syndrome_round();
+    code.decode_and_correct();
+    return;
+}
+
+// Caller receives faults and result
+faults, result := run_qec_cycle(&code);
+
+result catch |err| {
+    log("QEC cycle failed: {}", err);
+    log("Faults before failure: {}", faults);
+    return;
+};
+
+// Success path
+if faults.len > warning_threshold {
+    log("Warning: {} faults in cycle", faults.len);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Explicit Handling Philosophy
+
+Zlup intentionally does **not** have a `?` operator like Rust. This is a deliberate design
+choice for quantum computing contexts.
+
+### Why No `?` Operator?
+
+Rust's `?` operator makes error propagation easy - perhaps too easy:
+
+```rust
+// Rust: ? makes it easy to just bubble errors up without thought
+fn do_something() -> Result<T, E> {
+    let x = step1()?;  // Just propagate
+    let y = step2()?;  // Just propagate
+    let z = step3()?;  // Just propagate
+    Ok(z)
+}
+```
+
+While explicit, this pattern becomes so automatic that developers stop thinking about
+error handling. Errors bubble up, but nobody along the way considered what to do about them.
+
+### Zlup's Approach: Deliberate Handling
+
+In QEC, errors and faults carry crucial diagnostic information. Mechanical propagation
+loses context and makes debugging difficult:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// INVALID: ignoring the return value
+qec_round(q);  // Compile error: unhandled faults/errors
+
+// ENCOURAGED: deliberate handling with context
+faults, result := qec_round(q);
+result catch |err| {
+    log("QEC round failed at step {}: {}", step, err);
+    log("Faults before failure: {}", faults);
+    log("Syndrome state: {}", last_syndrome);
+    return err;  // Propagate with added context
+};
+
+// VALID: explicitly discard if truly not needed
+_ = qec_round(q);  // Explicit discard - you meant to ignore it
+```
+
+### Why This Matters for Quantum Computing
+
+In classical computing, a propagated error eventually reaches a handler somewhere.
+In quantum computing, by the time an error surfaces, the quantum state may be
+irretrievably corrupted. Understanding *where* and *why* things went wrong is essential for:
+
+- Debugging QEC implementations
+- Tuning error thresholds
+- Identifying systematic hardware issues
+- Post-mortem analysis of failed computations
+
+Silent or mechanical error propagation loses this crucial information.
+

+
+## Practical QEC Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Syndrome Extraction
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+QuantumFault := fault { Leakage, GateError, MeasurementError };
+QecError := error { DecodeFailed, TooManyFaults };
+
+fn extract_syndrome(data: []qubit, ancilla: []qubit) try -> []QuantumFault![]u1 {
+    // Prepare ancilla
+    pz ancilla;
+    h ancilla;
+
+    // Stabilizer measurements (faults collected)
+    for i in 0..ancilla.len {
+        cx (data[i * 2], ancilla[i]);
+        cx (data[i * 2 + 1], ancilla[i]);
+    }
+
+    h ancilla;
+
+    // Measure ancilla
+    syndrome := mz([4]u1) ancilla;
+
+    return syndrome;
+}
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(8);
+    pz q;
+
+    alias data := q[0..4];
+    alias ancilla := q[4..8];
+
+    // Run syndrome extraction
+    faults, syndrome_result := extract_syndrome(data, ancilla);
+
+    syndrome := syndrome_result catch |err| {
+        log("Syndrome extraction failed: {}", err);
+        return;
+    };
+
+    log("Syndrome: {}, Faults: {}", syndrome, faults.len);
+    result("syndrome", syndrome);
+    result("fault_count", faults.len);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 2: Full QEC Round with Threshold
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+QuantumFault := fault { Leakage, QubitLoss, GateFailure };
+DecodeError := error { SyndromeAmbiguous, WeightTooHigh };
+
+fn qec_round(code: *SurfaceCode, max_faults: usize) try -> []QuantumFault!DecodeError!unit {
+    // Extract syndrome (collects faults)
+    syndrome := code.measure_stabilizers();
+
+    // Check if too many faults occurred
+    // Note: we're inside a try block, so faults are being collected
+    // We can inspect them at any point
+
+    // Decode (classical - error stops execution)
+    correction := decode(syndrome);
+
+    // Apply correction
+    code.apply_correction(correction);
+
+    return;
+}
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    mut base := qalloc(100);
+    mut code := SurfaceCode.init(&base, 3);
+
+    code.prepare_logical_zero();
+
+    // Run multiple QEC rounds
+    mut total_faults: usize = 0;
+
+    for round in 0..1000 {
+        faults, result := qec_round(&code, 10);
+
+        total_faults += faults.len;
+
+        result catch |err| {
+            log("Round {} failed: {}", round, err);
+            log("Total faults so far: {}", total_faults);
+            break;
+        };
+
+        // Log periodic status
+        if round % 100 == 0 {
+            log("Round {}: {} faults this round, {} total", round, faults.len, total_faults);
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Final measurement
+    logical := code.measure_logical();
+    result("logical_result", logical);
+    result("total_faults", total_faults);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Promoting Faults to Errors
+
+Sometimes accumulated faults cross a threshold where they should become a logical error:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn qec_round_with_threshold(
+    q: []qubit,
+    max_correctable: usize
+) try -> []QuantumFault!QecError!Syndrome {
+    // Run the circuit, collecting faults
+    faults, syndrome := run_stabilizers(q);
+
+    // Too many faults? Promote to a classical error
+    // This is a classical decision, so it's an error, not a fault
+    if faults.len > max_correctable {
+        return error.TooManyFaults;
+    }
+
+    // Faults within tolerance - continue
+    return syndrome;
+}
+
+// Caller receives both the faults AND the error/result
+faults, result := qec_round_with_threshold(q, 5);
+
+result catch |err| {
+    // err might be TooManyFaults - we still have access to `faults`
+    log("QEC failed with {} faults: {}", faults.len, err);
+    return;
+};
+
+// Success - but we still know how many faults occurred
+syndrome := result.!;
+if faults.len > 0 {
+    log("Succeeded with {} faults", faults.len);
+}
+```
+
+### Example 4: Rich Fault Context
+
+Faults carry context information that can be inspected:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+fn analyze_faults(faults: []QuantumFault) -> unit {
+    mut leakage_count: usize = 0;
+    mut gate_failures: usize = 0;
+
+    for fault in faults {
+        switch (fault) {
+            fault.Leakage => |ctx| {
+                log("Leakage in {} on qubit {}", ctx.gate, ctx.qubit);
+                leakage_count += 1;
+            },
+            fault.QubitLoss => |ctx| {
+                log("Lost qubit {} during {}", ctx.qubit, ctx.gate);
+                flag_qubit_lost(ctx.qubit);
+            },
+            fault.GateFailure => |ctx| {
+                log("Gate {} failed on qubits {:?}", ctx.gate, ctx.qubits);
+                gate_failures += 1;
+            },
+            else => {
+                log("Unknown fault: {}", fault);
+            },
+        }
+    }
+
+    result("leakage_events", leakage_count);
+    result("gate_failures", gate_failures);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+

+
+## Summary
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+| Concept | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| **Fault** | Physical layer issue (expected, collected) |
+| **Error** | Logical layer issue (unexpected, stops execution) |
+| **`E!T`** | Error union: either error E or value T |
+| **`[]E!T`** | Collected faults plus error union |
+| **`try!`** | Stop on first fault/error (strict) |
+| **`try`** | Collect faults, stop on errors (QEC) |
+| **`catch`** | Handle errors with default or block |
+| **`.!`** | Unwrap (when certain no error) |
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Use `fault` for hardware issues**, `error` for software issues
+2. **Use `try` blocks for QEC rounds** where faults are expected
+3. **Use `try!` blocks for calibration** where any fault invalidates results
+4. **Always handle or explicitly discard** return values
+5. **Add context when propagating errors** - don't just bubble up
+6. **Inspect fault context** to diagnose hardware issues
+7. **Set thresholds** to promote excessive faults to errors
+
+### Quick Reference
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Define fault and error sets
+QuantumFault := fault { Leakage, QubitLoss };
+DecodeError := error { Failed, Ambiguous };
+
+// Function that collects faults
+fn qec_op(q: []qubit) try -> []QuantumFault!DecodeError!T { ... }
+
+// Function that stops on first fault
+fn strict_op(q: []qubit) try! -> QuantumFault!T { ... }
+
+// Handle with catch
+result := may_fail() catch default_value;
+result := may_fail() catch |err| { handle(err); return; };
+
+// Collect faults from try function
+faults, result := qec_op(q);
+
+// Try block (collect mode)
+faults, result := try {
+    // quantum ops - faults collected
+    // classical ops - errors stop
+};
+
+// Try! block (strict mode)
+try! {
+    // any fault or error stops immediately
+} catch |err| {
+    handle(err);
+};
+```

+# Zlup Tutorial: Getting Started
+
+This tutorial will guide you through writing your first Zlup quantum programs. By the end, you'll understand the core concepts: allocators, gates, measurement, and control flow.
+
+## What is Zlup?
+
+Zlup is the **low-level complement to Guppy** in PECOS. While Guppy provides a high-level, Pythonic experience for QEC researchers, Zlup is designed for:
+
+- **Quantum orchestration**: Gate sequences, syndrome extraction, correction application
+- **Rust integration**: Calling decoders and simulation backends via FFI
+- **Reliable, production-grade code** following NASA Power of 10 principles
+- **Simulation infrastructure**: Noise modeling, error injection, state tracking
+
+Complex classical algorithms (MWPM decoders, etc.) belong in **Rust**—Zlup handles the quantum side and calls Rust for heavy computation.
+
+If you're a QEC researcher who prefers Python, **use Guppy**. Zlup is for the systems layer connecting quantum operations to classical backends.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Zlup compiler installed (`cargo install --path .` from the zlup directory)
+- Basic understanding of quantum computing concepts (qubits, gates, measurement)
+
+## Your First Program: Hello Quantum
+
+Create a file called `hello.zlp`:
+
+```zlup
+/// My first Zlup program - creates a superposition state
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    // Allocate a single qubit
+    q := qalloc(1);
+
+    // Prepare (reset) the qubit to |0⟩
+    pz q;
+
+    // Apply Hadamard gate to create superposition
+    h q[0];
+
+    // Measure the qubit
+    result: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+Compile it:
+
+```bash
+zlup compile hello.zlp -o hello.json
+```
+
+Let's break down what each line does.
+
+## Allocators: Managing Qubits
+
+In Zlup, qubits are managed through **allocators**. This explicit resource management (inspired by Zig) ensures you always know where your qubits come from.
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Allocate 4 qubits
+q := qalloc(4);
+
+// Access individual qubits by index
+h q[0];      // First qubit
+h q[1];      // Second qubit
+h q[3];      // Fourth qubit (last)
+```
+
+The allocator capacity is fixed at compile time - you can't dynamically grow it. This is intentional: bounded resources make programs predictable and analyzable.
+
+### Child Allocators
+
+For complex algorithms, you can partition allocators:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Main allocator with 10 qubits
+mut main := qalloc(10);
+
+// Create child allocators from it
+data := main.child(4);      // First 4 qubits for data
+ancilla := main.child(6);   // Remaining 6 for ancillas
+```
+
+Note: The parent must be declared `mut` to create children.
+
+## Preparing Qubits
+
+Before using qubits, prepare (reset) them to the |0⟩ state with `pz`:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+q := qalloc(4);
+
+// Prepare all qubits at once
+pz q;
+
+// Or prepare specific qubits
+pz q[0];
+pz {q[1], q[2]};  // Batch prepare
+```
+
+## Gates: Quantum Operations
+
+### Single-Qubit Gates
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Pauli gates
+x q[0];    // X (NOT) gate
+y q[0];    // Y gate
+z q[0];    // Z gate
+
+// Hadamard
+h q[0];    // Creates superposition
+
+// T gates (fourth root of Z)
+t q[0];    // T gate
+tdg q[0];  // T-dagger (inverse of T)
+
+// Square root gates (sz is the S gate)
+sx q[0];   // sqrt(X)
+sy q[0];   // sqrt(Y)
+sz q[0];   // sqrt(Z) - this is the S gate
+sxdg q[0]; // sqrt(X) dagger
+sydg q[0]; // sqrt(Y) dagger
+szdg q[0]; // sqrt(Z) dagger - this is S-dagger
+```
+
+### Rotation Gates (Parameterized)
+
+Rotation gates require an angle with explicit units:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+
+// Preferred: use turns (native unit)
+rx(1/8 turns) q[0];              // Rotate by 1/8 turn (pi/4 rad) around X
+ry(1/4 turns) q[0];              // Rotate by 1/4 turn (pi/2 rad) around Y
+rz(1/2 turns) q[0];              // Rotate by 1/2 turn (pi rad) around Z
+
+// Or use a64 constants
+rz(std.a64.t_angle turns) q[0];  // T-gate (1/8 turn)
+
+// Or use radians with f64 constants
+rx(std.f64.pi/4 rad) q[0];       // Same as 1/8 turns
+```
+
+### Two-Qubit Gates
+
+Two-qubit gates use tuple syntax for (control, target):
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// CNOT (controlled-X)
+cx (q[0], q[1]);    // q[0] controls, q[1] is target
+
+// Other controlled gates
+cy (q[0], q[1]);    // Controlled-Y
+cz (q[0], q[1]);    // Controlled-Z
+ch (q[0], q[1]);    // Controlled-Hadamard
+
+// Swap gates
+swap (q[0], q[1]);
+iswap (q[0], q[1]);
+
+// Ising gates
+sxx (q[0], q[1]);   // sqrt(XX)
+syy (q[0], q[1]);   // sqrt(YY)
+szz (q[0], q[1]);   // sqrt(ZZ)
+
+// Parameterized two-qubit
+rzz(1/8 turns) (q[0], q[1]);
+```
+
+### Batch Operations
+
+Apply the same gate to multiple qubits in parallel using set syntax:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Apply H to multiple qubits (order doesn't matter)
+h {q[0], q[1], q[2]};
+
+// Batch two-qubit gates
+cx {(q[0], q[1]), (q[2], q[3])};
+
+// Batch rotation
+rx(1/4 turns) {q[0], q[1], q[2]};
+```
+
+## Measurement
+
+Measurement extracts classical information from qubits:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Measure single qubit into a u1 (single bit)
+r: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];
+
+// Measure multiple qubits into an array
+results: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]];
+
+// Pack measurements into a byte
+syndrome: u8 = mz(pack u8) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3], q[4], q[5], q[6], q[7]];
+```
+
+The `pack` modifier packs bits sequentially into the target type.
+
+## Emitting Results
+
+To output values from your quantum program, use `result()`:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Emit a single measurement
+result("final_bit", r);
+
+// Emit array of measurements
+result("syndrome", results);
+
+// Use namespaced tags for organization
+result("qec/round_1/syndrome", syndrome);
+```
+
+Results are collected by the quantum runtime and never elided. Entry/main functions
+return `unit` and use explicit `result()` calls rather than returning values.
+
+## Creating a Bell State
+
+Let's create a Bell state - the simplest entangled state:
+
+```zlup
+/// Creates a Bell state |00⟩ + |11⟩ (unnormalized)
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Create superposition on first qubit
+    h q[0];
+
+    // Entangle with second qubit
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+
+    // Measure both qubits
+    r0: u1 = mz(u1) q[0];
+    r1: u1 = mz(u1) q[1];
+
+    // Emit results - r0 and r1 will always be correlated:
+    // both 0 or both 1
+    result("qubit_0", r0);
+    result("qubit_1", r1);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Variables and Bindings
+
+Zlup uses Pascal/Go-style binding syntax:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+// Immutable binding (most common)
+x := 42;           // Type inferred
+y: u32 = 100;      // Type explicit
+
+// Mutable binding
+mut count := 0;
+count = count + 1;
+
+// Constants
+pi := 3.14159;     // Immutable by default
+```
+
+## Control Flow
+
+### If Statements
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Simple if
+if x > 10 {
+    // do something
+}
+
+// If-else
+if condition {
+    // true branch
+} else {
+    // false branch
+}
+
+// If-else if chain
+if x == 0 {
+    // zero
+} else if x < 0 {
+    // negative
+} else {
+    // positive
+}
+```
+
+### For Loops (Bounded)
+
+All loops in Zlup must have bounded iteration (NASA Power of 10 rule):
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Range loop
+for i in 0..10 {
+    h q[i];
+}
+
+// Iterating with index
+for i, item in items {
+    // use i and item
+}
+```
+
+### Switch Statements
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+switch (value) {
+    0 => { /* handle 0 */ },
+    1, 2 => { /* handle 1 or 2 */ },
+    3..10 => { /* handle range 3-10 */ },
+    else => { /* default */ },
+}
+```
+
+## Functions
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Simple function
+fn add(a: u32, b: u32) -> u32 {
+    return a + b;
+}
+
+// Function with no return value
+fn apply_gates(q: *Allocator) -> unit {
+    h q[0];
+    return;
+}
+
+// Public function (exported)
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    result := add(2, 3);
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Working with the Standard Library
+
+Import and use standard library modules:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    // Angle constants from std.a64
+    angle := std.a64.t_angle;
+
+    q := qalloc(8);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Apply rotation (using turns)
+    rz(angle turns) q[0];
+
+    // Measure and compute parity
+    syndrome: u8 = mz(pack u8) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3], q[4], q[5], q[6], q[7]];
+    parity := std.parity_u8(syndrome);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Tick Blocks: Parallel Execution
+
+Group operations that should execute in parallel:
+
+```zlup_fragment
+q := qalloc(4);
+pz q;
+
+// These gates execute in the same time step
+tick {
+    h q[0];
+    h q[1];
+    h q[2];
+    h q[3];
+}
+
+// Next time step
+tick {
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);
+    cx (q[2], q[3]);
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Zlup distinguishes between **faults** (physical layer, quantum hardware) and **errors**
+(logical layer, classical software). This distinction is crucial for QEC:
+
+- **Faults** are expected hardware imperfections - collected and analyzed
+- **Errors** are unexpected software problems - stop execution immediately
+
+### Quick Example
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Classical errors stop execution
+fn divide(a: u32, b: u32) -> DivError!u32 {
+    if b == 0 {
+        return error.DivisionByZero;
+    }
+    return a / b;
+}
+
+// Handle errors with catch
+result := divide(10, 2) catch 0;  // Default to 0 on error
+
+// Quantum faults are collected (QEC pattern)
+QuantumFault := fault { Leakage, QubitLoss };
+
+fn qec_round(q: []qubit) try -> []QuantumFault!Syndrome {
+    cx (q[0], q[1]);  // Fault? Recorded, continues
+    cx (q[1], q[2]);  // Fault? Recorded, continues
+    return mz([2]u1) [q[3], q[4]];
+}
+
+// Caller receives both faults and result
+faults, syndrome := qec_round(q);
+```
+
+### Two Error Handling Modes
+
+| Mode | Quantum Fault | Classical Error |
+|------|---------------|-----------------|
+| `try!` | Stops immediately | Stops immediately |
+| `try` | Collected, continues | Stops execution |
+
+For a comprehensive guide to error handling including practical QEC examples, fault
+promotion, and the explicit handling philosophy, see the
+**[Error Handling Tutorial](tutorial-error-handling.md)**.
+
+## Complete Example: GHZ State
+
+A GHZ state is a maximally entangled state of N qubits:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+/// Creates a 4-qubit GHZ state: |0000⟩ + |1111⟩
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    std := @import("std");
+
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Put first qubit in superposition
+    h q[0];
+
+    // Entangle each subsequent qubit
+    for i in 1..4 {
+        cx (q[0], q[i]);
+    }
+
+    // Measure all qubits
+    results: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]];
+
+    // Emit results - all will be the same: either all 0 or all 1
+    result("measurements", results);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Read the [Standard Library Reference](stdlib.md) for available functions
+- Check out the [examples](../examples/) directory for more programs
+- See [design.md](design.md) for language design rationale
+- Try `zlup eval "2 + 2"` for quick expression testing

+# Zlup Examples
+
+This directory contains example programs demonstrating Zlup features and common quantum algorithms.
+
+## Running Examples
+
+```bash
+# Compile to SLR-AST JSON
+zlup compile examples/bell_state.zlp -o bell_state.json
+
+# Check syntax and semantics
+zlup check examples/bell_state.zlp
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Basic Quantum States
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `bell_state.zlp` | Creates the Bell state (|00⟩ + |11⟩) / sqrt(2) |
+| `ghz_state.zlp` | Creates an N-qubit GHZ state |
+
+### Quantum Algorithms
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `teleportation.zlp` | Quantum teleportation protocol |
+| `grover_2qubit.zlp` | Grover's search algorithm for 2 qubits |
+| `qft_3qubit.zlp` | Quantum Fourier Transform on 3 qubits |
+
+### Error Correction
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `simple_qec.zlp` | 3-qubit bit-flip code with syndrome measurement |

+# zlup-ffi
+
+FFI traits and types for integrating Rust code with Zlup.
+
+## Overview
+
+This crate provides the Rust side of Zlup's FFI story. Implement the provided traits to create decoders, noise models, and simulators that can be called from Zlup programs.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```rust
+use zlup_ffi::prelude::*;
+
+pub struct MyMwpmDecoder {
+    distance: usize,
+}
+
+impl Decoder for MyMwpmDecoder {
+    type Syndrome = u64;
+    type Correction = u64;
+
+    fn decode(&self, syndrome: u64) -> u64 {
+        // Your MWPM implementation here
+        0
+    }
+}
+
+// Generate C ABI exports manually (or use #[zlup_export] with macros feature)
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_new(distance: u32) -> *mut MyMwpmDecoder {
+    Box::into_raw(Box::new(MyMwpmDecoder { distance: distance as usize }))
+}
+
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_decode(decoder: *const MyMwpmDecoder, syndrome: u64) -> u64 {
+    let decoder = unsafe { &*decoder };
+    decoder.decode(syndrome)
+}
+
+#[no_mangle]
+pub extern "C" fn mwpm_free(decoder: *mut MyMwpmDecoder) {
+    if !decoder.is_null() {
+        unsafe { drop(Box::from_raw(decoder)); }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- `macros` - Enable `#[zlup_export]` proc macro for automatic C ABI generation (planned)
+
+## Traits
+
+| Trait | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `Decoder` | Map syndromes to corrections |
+| `NoiseModel` | Define custom noise channels for simulation |
+| `Simulator` | Create custom quantum state simulators |
+| `BatchDecoder` | Efficient batch decoding |
+| `StreamingDecoder` | Temporal/streaming decoding |
+
+## Types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `QubitId` | Opaque qubit identifier |
+| `GateType` | Enum of supported gate types |
+| `PackedBits<N>` | Efficient bit storage for syndromes |
+| `FfiResult<T>` | FFI-safe result type |
+

+//!
+//! FFI traits and types for integrating Rust code with Zlup.
+//!
+//! This crate provides:
+//! - Traits that decoders and simulation backends should implement
+//! - FFI-safe types for crossing the Zlup/Rust boundary
+//! - (With `macros` feature) `#[zlup_export]` proc macro for generating C ABI wrappers
+//!
+//! ## Quick Start
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore

+//! Parallelism analysis passes for Zlup AST.
+//!
+//! This module provides analysis passes that determine what operations can
+//! execute in parallel. The analysis is constraint-based: parallelism follows
+//! directly from allocator ownership and explicit operation targets.
+//!
+//! ## Design Philosophy
+//!
+//! > **Note:** Zlup is an experimental toy language for exploring quantum programming
+//! > language design. This analysis is exploratory, not production-ready.
+//!
+//! Parallelism is expressed through constraints, not annotations:
+//! - Functions that don't take allocator parameters can't touch qubits
+//! - Operations on disjoint allocators are independent
+//! - Scopes define synchronization boundaries
+//!
+//! ## Available Passes
+//!
+//! - **Allocator Scope Analysis**: Track allocator lifetimes and accessibility
+//! - **Operation Tagging**: Tag each operation with resources it touches
+//! - **Dependency Graph**: Build edges between dependent operations
+//! - **Parallel Layer Extraction**: Find maximal independent operation sets
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use zlup::analysis::{AllocatorAnalysis, OperationTagger, DependencyGraph};
+//!
+//! let source = r#"
+//!     fn main() -> unit {
+//!         mut q := qalloc(2);
+//!         h q[0];
+//!         cx (q[0], q[1]);
+//!         return;
+//!     }
+//! "#;
+//!
+//! let program = zlup::parse(source).unwrap();
+//! let allocators = AllocatorAnalysis::analyze(&program);
+//! let tagger = OperationTagger::tag(&program);
+//! let graph = DependencyGraph::build(tagger.operations);
+//! let layers = graph.parallel_layers();
+//!
+//! assert!(allocators.allocators.contains_key("q"));
+//! assert!(!layers.is_empty());
+//! ```

+//! AST node definitions for Zluppy programs.
+//!
+//! This module defines the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) nodes for representing
+//! Zluppy quantum programs. The design mirrors the Python SLR-AST for easy
+//! conversion while supporting Zig-inspired language features.
+//!
+//! Design principles:
+//! - Immutable data structures
+//! - Explicit source location tracking
+//! - Direct mapping to SLR-AST where applicable
+//! - Support for comptime evaluation

+//! Build system for Zlup projects.
+//!
+//! This module implements the build.zlp execution system, following Zig's philosophy:
+//! **the build system IS the language**.
+//!
+//! ## Overview
+//!
+//! Like Zig's `build.zig`, Zlup uses `build.zlp` - a Zlup program that runs at
+//! compile time to configure the build. No separate DSL, no YAML, no TOML for
+//! build logic - just Zlup with comptime.
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```bash
+//! # Build using build.zlp
+//! zlup build
+//!
+//! # Build with options
+//! zlup build -Dnoise=true -Doptimize=release
+//!
+//! # Run tests
+//! zlup build test
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Status
+//!
+//! This is Phase 1 of the build system implementation, providing the foundational
+//! infrastructure. Full comptime execution of build.zlp requires additional
+//! interpreter capabilities.

+//! HUGR code generation for Zluppy.
+//!
+//! This module generates HUGR (Hierarchical Unified Graph Representation) from
+//! Zluppy AST. HUGR is used for targeting experiments and quantum hardware.
+//!
+//! ## Design
+//!
+//! The codegen walks the Zluppy AST and:
+//! 1. Collects allocator declarations to determine qubit counts
+//! 2. Maps gate calls to TketOp operations
+//! 3. Tracks wire flow through the circuit
+//! 4. Handles rotation angles (converted to half-turns)
+//!
+//! ## Wire Tracking
+//!
+//! In HUGR, each qubit is represented by a Wire that flows through the graph.
+//! When a gate operates on a qubit, it consumes the input wire and produces
+//! a new output wire. We maintain a mapping from qubit identifiers to their
+//! current wire.

+//! PHIR/JSON code generation for Zlup.
+//!
+//! This module generates **PHIR/JSON** (the JSON serialization of PHIR) from Zlup AST.
+//!
+//! ## PHIR vs PHIR/JSON
+//!
+//! - **PHIR** (PECOS High-level Intermediate Representation): The abstract IR for
+//!   representing hybrid quantum-classical programs. Defined in the `pecos-phir` crate.
+//! - **PHIR/JSON**: The JSON serialization format for PHIR programs, as specified in
+//!   the `pecos-phir-json` crate (v0.1.0). This is what this module generates.
+//!
+//! ## Design Philosophy
+//!
+//! PHIR/JSON provides:
+//! - Explicit variable definitions (quantum and classical)
+//! - Quantum operations with qubit references
+//! - Classical operations with AST-style expressions
+//! - Control flow via if/else blocks
+//! - Parallel execution via qparallel blocks
+//!
+//! ## Output Format
+//!
+//! The output conforms to PHIR/JSON specification v0.1.0:
+//!
+//! ```json
+//! {
+//!   "format": "PHIR/JSON",
+//!   "version": "0.1.0",
+//!   "metadata": {"program_name": "main"},
+//!   "ops": [
+//!     {"data": "qvar_define", "variable": "q", "size": 2},
+//!     {"qop": "H", "args": [["q", 0]]},
+//!     {"qop": "CX", "args": [[["q", 0], ["q", 1]]]}
+//!   ]
+//! }
+//! ```

+//! SLR-AST code generation for Zluppy.
+//!
+//! This module generates SLR-AST JSON from Zluppy AST. The output maps directly
+//! to Python's frozen dataclass structure for seamless interop with PECOS.
+//!
+//! ## Design Philosophy
+//!
+//! Low-level but safe. The JSON output is:
+//! - Explicit: Every node has a `type` field - no magic
+//! - Simple: Flat structure, predictable format
+//! - Constrained: Only valid SLR-AST constructs can be generated
+//!
+//! ## Output Format
+//!
+//! The generated JSON maps 1:1 to Python's SLR-AST dataclasses:
+//!
+//! ```json
+//! {
+//!   "type": "Program",
+//!   "name": "main",
+//!   "allocator": {"type": "AllocatorDecl", "name": "q", "capacity": 2},
+//!   "declarations": [...],
+//!   "body": [
+//!     {"type": "GateOp", "gate": "H", "targets": [{"type": "SlotRef", "allocator": "q", "index": 0}]
+//!   ],
+//!   "returns": []
+//! }
+//! ```

+//! Compile-time evaluation for Zlup.
+//!
+//! This module provides compile-time evaluation of expressions, enabling:
+//! - `comptime` blocks that execute at compile time
+//! - `comptime` function parameters (generics)
+//! - Compile-time type manipulation
+//! - Constant folding and propagation
+//!
+//! ## Comptime Values
+//!
+//! Values that can exist at compile time:
+//! - Integers (i64 for signed, u64 for unsigned)
+//! - Floats (f64)
+//! - Booleans
+//! - Types (the `type` type)
+//! - Arrays of comptime values
+//! - Structs with comptime fields
+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```zlup
+//! // Comptime block
+//! N := comptime {
+//!     mut sum: u32 = 0;
+//!     for i in 0..10 {
+//!         sum += i;
+//!     }
+//!     sum
+//! };
+//!
+//! // Comptime function parameter (generic)
+//! fn makeArray(comptime T: type, comptime N: usize) -> [N]T {
+//!     mut arr: [N]T = undefined;
+//!     return arr;
+//! }
+//! ```

+//! Code formatter for Zlup.
+//!
+//! Provides canonical formatting for Zlup source code.
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use zlup::formatter::{format, FormatOptions};
+//!
+//! let source = "fn main()->unit{var x=1;}";
+//! let formatted = format(source, &FormatOptions::default());
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Implementation

+//! # Zluppy
+//!
+//! **EXPERIMENTAL** - A Zig/SLR/NASA Power of 10 reflection of Guppy's approach to
+//! quantum programming.
+//!
+//! ## Philosophy
+//!
+//! Zluppy solves the same problems as Guppy but through a different lens:
+//!
+//! - **Zig's philosophy**: Explicit over implicit, simple over complex, compile-time
+//!   metaprogramming instead of runtime magic
+//! - **SLR's allocator model**: Hierarchical resource management - allocators own
+//!   qubits, children borrow from parents, lifetimes are structural
+//! - **NASA Power of 10**: Bounded loops, fixed resource limits, no dynamic allocation
+//!   after initialization, assertions everywhere, predictable execution
+//!
+//! Where Guppy uses linear types, we use allocators. Where Guppy embeds in Python,
+//! we stand alone. Same problems, simpler idioms, low-level but clean.
+//!
+//! ## Design Goals
+//!
+//! - Standalone language (not Python-embedded)
+//! - Explicit resource management via allocators
+//! - Compiles to SLR-AST for Python/PECOS integration
+//! - Compiles to HUGR for hardware/experiment targeting
+//! - Compiles to PHIR for simulator targeting
+//! - Bounded, predictable execution (NASA Power of 10)
+//! - Full comptime metaprogramming (Zig-style)
+//!
+//! ## Compilation Targets
+//!
+//! Both HUGR and PHIR are MLIR-inspired IRs:
+//! - **HUGR**: Hierarchical Unified Graph Representation - for experiments/hardware
+//! - **PHIR**: Program Hierarchical IR - for simulator targeting

+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```zluppy
+//! const std = @import("std");
+//!
+//! pub fn main() -> unit {
+//!     var base = qalloc(10);
+//!     var q = base.child(2);
+//!
+//!     pz q;
+//!
+//!     // Bell state
+//!     h(q[0]);
+//!     cx(q[0], q[1]);
+//!
+//!     const results = measure(q);
+//!     return unit;
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Status
+//!
+//! This is an **experimental** language for research purposes. The API and syntax
+//! are subject to change without notice.

+//! Logging infrastructure for the Zlup compiler.
+//!
+//! Uses the standard `RUST_LOG` environment variable to control compiler log output.
+//! This follows Rust conventions and integrates well with other Rust tooling.
+//!
+//! Note: For logging within Zluppy *programs* (the language feature), see the
+//! `log` builtin which is controlled by `ZLUP_LOG` at runtime.
+//!
+//! # Usage
+//!
+//! Set the `RUST_LOG` environment variable to control compiler logging:
+//!
+//! ```bash
+//! # Show all debug messages
+//! RUST_LOG=debug zlup build
+//!
+//! # Show only warnings and errors
+//! RUST_LOG=warn zlup build
+//!
+//! # Target specific modules
+//! RUST_LOG=zlup::parser=trace zlup build
+//! RUST_LOG=zlup::semantic=debug,zlup::codegen=info zlup build
+//!
+//! # Trace everything
+//! RUST_LOG=trace zlup build
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # Log Levels
+//!
+//! - `error` - Unrecoverable errors
+//! - `warn` - Recoverable issues or deprecation warnings
+//! - `info` - High-level progress information
+//! - `debug` - Detailed debugging information
+//! - `trace` - Very verbose tracing (e.g., AST dumps)

+//! Module system for Zlup.
+//!
+//! This module provides support for importing and organizing code across multiple files.
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```zlup
+//! // Import a local file
+//! utils := @import("utils.zlp");
+//!
+//! // Import from a subdirectory
+//! qec := @import("lib/qec.zlp");
+//!
+//! // Access exported symbols
+//! x := utils.helper_function();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Module Resolution
+//!
+//! Import paths are resolved relative to the importing file's directory.
+//! - `"foo.zlp"` -> same directory
+//! - `"lib/foo.zlp"` -> lib subdirectory
+//! - `"../foo.zlp"` -> parent directory

+//! Optimization passes for Zlup AST.
+//!
+//! This module provides various optimization passes that transform the AST
+//! to produce more efficient code. All optimizations preserve program semantics.
+//!
+//! ## Available Passes
+//!
+//! - **Constant Folding**: Evaluate constant expressions at compile time
+//! - **Dead Code Elimination**: Remove unreachable code
+//! - **Unused Binding Elimination**: Remove unused variable declarations
+//! - **Gate Cancellation**: Cancel adjacent inverse quantum gates (X X = I, H H = I)
+//! - **Identity Removal**: Remove gates that have no effect
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use zlup::optimize::Optimizer;
+//!
+//! let source = "fn main() -> unit { x := 1 + 2; return unit; }";
+//! let program = zlup::parse(source).expect("parse failed");
+//! let mut optimizer = Optimizer::new();
+//! let optimized = optimizer.optimize(program);
+//! // optimized has constant expressions folded (1 + 2 -> 3)
+//! ```

+//! Recursive descent parser for Zluppy.
+//!
+//! This module implements a hand-written recursive descent parser rather than
+//! using the visitor pattern. This choice aligns with NASA Power of 10 principles:
+//!
+//! - **Explicit control flow**: No hidden dispatch mechanisms
+//! - **Predictable**: Direct function calls, easy to debug
+//! - **Simple**: Each grammar rule maps to a function
+//!
+//! The parser consumes tokens from the pest lexer and builds the AST.

+//! Rational number type for exact fraction representation.
+//!
+//! This module provides a `Rational` type that represents fractions exactly,
+//! avoiding floating-point precision issues. This is particularly important
+//! for angle calculations in quantum computing where angles like 1/4 turn
+//! (pi/2 radians) must be exact.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use zlup::rational::Rational;
+//!
+//! let quarter = Rational::new(1, 4);
+//! let half = Rational::new(1, 2);
+//! assert_eq!(quarter + quarter, half);
+//! ```

+//! Semantic analysis for Zluppy programs.
+//!
+//! This module performs:
+//! - Name resolution and scope management
+//! - Type checking and inference
+//! - Comptime evaluation
+//! - Quantum resource validation (for HUGR codegen)
+//! - **Qubit state tracking** (prepared/unprepared lifecycle)
+//! - **Allocator capacity validation** (bounds checking)
+//! - **Loop bound checking** (NASA Power of 10 compliance)
+//!
+//! ## Qubit State Tracking
+//!
+//! Zluppy tracks qubit states at compile time. Every qubit slot has exactly
+//! two states:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! ┌────────────┐  prepare()  ┌──────────┐
+//! │ unprepared │ ──────────> │ prepared │
+//! └────────────┘             └──────────┘
+//!       ^                          │
+//!       │         measure()        │
+//!       └──────────────────────────┘
+//! ```
+//!
+//! - **unprepared**: Initial state, or after measurement
+//! - **prepared**: Ready for gate operations
+//!
+//! Gates on unprepared qubits are compile-time errors. This is the allocator
+//! model's answer to Guppy's linear types - simpler, explicit, same safety.
+//!
+//! The semantic analysis produces a typed AST and symbol table that
+//! can be used by code generators (HUGR, SLR-AST, etc.).

+# Zluppy
+
+**EXPERIMENTAL** - Python bindings for the Zlup quantum programming language.
+
+Zlup is an experimental language exploring alternative syntax for quantum programs.
+It complements Guppy (the primary quantum programming language in PECOS) and may
+serve as a compilation target or alternative syntax for certain workflows.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install zluppy
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+import zluppy
+
+# Compile Zluppy source to SLR-AST (returns dict)
+ast = zluppy.compile_to_slr("""
+    fn main() -> void {
+        var q = qalloc(2);
+        h(q[0]);
+        cx(q[0], q[1]);
+    }
+""")
+
+# Compile to SLR-AST JSON string
+json_str = zluppy.compile_to_slr_json(source)
+
+# Check source for errors
+zluppy.check(source)  # Raises ZluppyError on failure
+zluppy.check(source, strict=True)  # NASA Power of 10 mode
+
+# Build programs programmatically
+# Note: SlrProgram uses uppercase gate names (SLR-AST convention)
+# while Zlup source code uses lowercase (h, cx, etc.)
+prog = zluppy.SlrProgram("main")
+prog.add_allocator("q", 2)
+prog.add_gate("H", [("q", 0)])
+prog.add_gate("CX", [("q", 0), ("q", 1)])
+json_str = prog.to_json()

+//! Differential test for the `GeneralNoiseModel` EMISSION channel across stacks.
+//!
+//! Engines models spontaneous emission as REPLACING the gate (the gate is
+//! dropped on an emission fault). neo now matches this by undoing the gate
+//! (applying its dagger) before the emission error. The facade does not map
+//! emission yet, so neo is configured directly via `sim_neo`.
+//!
+//! Analytic for `x; measure` with uniform Pauli and emission weights, gate
+//! error `p1` and emission ratio `e`: an emission fault (probability `p1*e`)
+//! drops the X so the qubit is `|0>` and a uniform Pauli reads `0` only on Z
+//! (`P(0) = 1/3`); a Pauli fault (probability `p1*(1-e)`) keeps the X so the
+//! qubit is `|1>` and a uniform Pauli reads `0` on X or Y (`P(0) = 2/3`). Hence
+//! `P(0) = p1 * (e/3 + (1-e)*2/3)`. At `p1 = 0.3`, `e = 0.5` this is `0.15` (the
+//! gate-PRESERVING model would give `0.2`).

+//!
+//! Milestone 0: prove the pecos-engines sim seam with a hand-built Bell ByteMessage.
+//! Milestone 1: build the SAME Bell program as pliron `qec` IR (allocator/slot model),
+//!   emit the ByteMessage from a pliron op-walk using an EXPLICIT `Value -> qubit index`
+//!   side-table (NOT the `SSAValue`-as-u32 overload that pecos-phir uses), then run it
+//!   through the SAME unchanged pecos-engines StateVecEngine and assert the Bell invariant.
+//!
+//! This is the concrete proof the round-2 decision is gated on: typed pliron ops feed the
+//! real backend through explicit qubit/result maps, and the ByteMessage seam is untouched.

+//! [`monte_carlo()`] builds a [`MonteCarloBuilder`] -- the stack-agnostic
+//! run-spec for Monte Carlo sampling (shot count plus optional worker
+//! parallelism). It is the single source of truth shared by both simulation
+//! stacks: the engines [`MonteCarloEngine`](crate::MonteCarloEngine) consumes
+//! it directly, and the `pecos-neo` stack converts it into its own `Sampling`
+//! strategy. The unified facade (`pecos::sim().stack(...).sampling(...)`) and
+//! the neo builder (`sim_neo().sampling(...)`) therefore accept the SAME
+//! `monte_carlo(n).workers(m)` spelling.
+//!
+//! Monte Carlo is the only strategy both stacks share; richer rare-event
+//! strategies (importance sampling, subset simulation) are `pecos-neo`-only and
+//! live there.

-//! Bell port — the round-2 decision gate for build-PHIR-on-pliron.
-//! See pecos-docs design/slr-phir-vision.md §7.1 + slr-phir-vision-qis-port-sketch.md.
+//! Parallel, non-default QIS-LLVM-IR -> pliron-PHIR path (the strangler crate, scoped to the
+//! covered QIS-LLVM subset). See pecos-docs design/slr-phir-pliron-strangler-scope.md.
 //!
-//! Milestone 0: prove the pecos-engines sim seam with a hand-built Bell ByteMessage.
-//! Milestone 1: build the SAME Bell program as pliron `qec` IR (allocator/slot model),
-//!   emit the ByteMessage from a pliron op-walk using an EXPLICIT `Value -> qubit index`
-//!   side-table (NOT the `SSAValue`-as-u32 overload that pecos-phir uses), then run it
-//!   through the SAME unchanged pecos-engines StateVecEngine and assert the Bell invariant.
+//! A QIS-LLVM-IR program is lowered to a pliron `qec` dialect (allocator/slot model; measurements
+//! are SSA values with metadata in a side-table registry; `result_record_output -> qec.record`
+//! export) and run through the UNCHANGED pecos-engines seam (`ClassicalControlEngine` /
+//! `ByteMessage` / `Shot`) -- no pliron type leaks into the engine API. Qubit identity comes from an
+//! explicit `Value -> qubit index` map, NOT the `SSAValue`-as-u32 overload the incumbent uses.
 //!
-//! This is the concrete proof the round-2 decision is gated on: typed pliron ops feed the
-//! real backend through explicit qubit/result maps, and the ByteMessage seam is untouched.
+//! [`from_qis_llvm_ir_pliron`] is the narrow opt-in entry point: `.ll` text -> a boxed engine ready
+//! for `HybridEngineBuilder`. The milestones M0-M7 + differential remain as the regression suite.

+# Hosted Operations
+
+This note sketches a generic PECOS abstraction for operations that must stay
+attached to a later quantum host operation during lowering, scheduling, tracing,
+and DEM construction.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Some source circuits contain local operations whose physical meaning is only
+complete when paired with a later host operation. A common example is a
+single-qubit Clifford basis change that prepares a data qubit for a two-qubit
+interaction. If a compiler or runtime legally moves that local pulse far away
+from the host, the ideal unitary can remain correct while the physical idle
+noise model changes substantially.
+
+Plain source adjacency and public language-level barriers are not enough as a
+long-term contract:
+
+- Source order can be changed by Guppy/HUGR/QIR/runtime lowering.
+- Public barriers may be optimized away before QIS operation collection.
+- A barrier says "do not reorder across this point"; it does not say "this
+  local pulse is hosted by that two-qubit gate".
+
+PECOS needs a way to represent this source intent directly and fail loudly when
+the intent is dropped or cannot be honored.
+
+## Definition
+
+A hosted operation relationship binds one or more local source operations to one
+host source operation:
+
+- `host_id`: stable source identifier for the host operation.
+- `host_kind`: generic host category, for example `two_qubit_gate` or
+  `measurement`.
+- `local_role`: local operation role, for example `basis_prefix`,
+  `basis_suffix`, `frame_update`, or `readout_prefix`.
+- `local_qubits`: source qubits touched by the local operation.
+- `host_qubits`: source qubits touched by the host operation.
+- `policy`: requested lowering/scheduling policy.
+
+The relationship is not a physical-device-specific instruction. It is source
+intent that runtimes may use to lower better schedules, and that PECOS can use
+to validate traces and build diagnostics.
+
+## Initial Policies
+
+Start with strict, observable policies instead of implicit best effort:
+
+- `metadata_only`: preserve provenance, but do not require adjacency.
+- `same_runtime_batch`: the local operation and host must be submitted to the
+  runtime in the same hosted group or batch.
+- `max_idle_time`: the lowered trace must show no more than a configured time
+  between the local operation and host on the local qubit.
+- `lowering_required`: the host must produce a compatible lowered operation.
+
+For any policy stronger than `metadata_only`, failure should be explicit and
+actionable. Silent fallback to unhosted behavior is not acceptable.
+
+## Trace Requirements
+
+Traces should preserve both the local and host sides:
+
+- local lowered operations carry `source_kind`, `source_label`, `host_id`, and
+  `local_role`.
+- host lowered operations carry `source_kind`, `source_label`, and `host_id`.
+- replay code can pair local operations to hosts by exact `host_id`, not by
+  nearest-neighbor inference.
+- audit tools can report whether provenance is exact, inferred, mismatched, or
+  missing.
+
+Exact provenance is necessary but not sufficient. It proves PECOS can identify
+the intended host; it does not prove the lowered schedule kept the operations
+adjacent or within a noise-model threshold.
+
+## Candidate Implementation Layers
+
+### 1. Metadata-Only Vertical Slice
+
+The smallest useful slice is the current trace-metadata approach:
+
+1. Emit qubit-scoped metadata before each local operation and host operation.
+2. Preserve metadata through QIS operation collection and runtime replay.
+3. Attach metadata to lowered operations.
+4. Require exact host matching in downstream audits.
+
+This slice is useful for diagnostics and DEM cache identity, but it does not
+constrain scheduling.
+
+### 2. Barrier-Preserving Lowering
+
+Preserving public barriers into `Operation::Barrier` can create runtime replay
+batch boundaries, and PECOS replay should drain at those boundaries. This is a
+valid generic improvement, but it still does not express "this local pulse is
+hosted by that operation". It should not be the only hosted-operation plan.
+
+Current state:
+
+- SLR QIR codegen can emit QIR barrier calls such as
+  `__quantum__qis__barrierN__body`.
+- `pecos-qis-ffi-types` and `pecos-qis-ffi` already have an
+  `Operation::Barrier` control-flow marker.
+- PECOS traced Selene replay drains runtime operations at `Operation::Barrier`
+  when that marker is present.
+- A minimal Guppy public `barrier(...)` probe is currently optimized away before
+  PECOS QIS operation collection. The captured raw operation trace contains
+  allocations, gates, measurements, and releases, but no `Barrier` operation.
+
+So barrier preservation requires a Guppy/HUGR/QIR/QIS bridge that lowers public
+barriers or qsystem `RuntimeBarrier` operations into `Operation::Barrier`
+instead of dropping them as pass-through no-ops. This is useful, but still
+secondary to a hosted-operation relationship because a barrier does not identify
+which host operation a local pulse belongs to.
+
+### 3. Explicit Hosted Operation
+
+The stronger long-term abstraction is a QIS-level hosted operation or hosted
+group:
+
+```text
+HostedGroup {
+    host_id,
+    locals: [QuantumOp],
+    host: QuantumOp,
+    policy,
+}
+```
+
+An equivalent representation could be a pair of begin/end host markers around a
+set of normal `QuantumOp`s, if that is easier to thread through existing
+collectors. The key requirement is that the runtime receives a relationship,
+not just a sequence of independent gates.
+
+## Surface-Code SZZ Example
+
+For SZZ/SZZdg surface-code checks:
+
+1. The source renderer forward-flows data-frame Cliffords.
+2. Before an SZZ/SZZdg interaction, it emits any required non-virtual local
+   data prefix.
+3. The prefix is tagged as `local_role=basis_prefix` with the SZZ/SZZdg
+   `host_id`.
+4. The SZZ/SZZdg interaction is tagged as the host with the same `host_id`.
+5. Runtime trace replay verifies exact provenance and, when requested, a
+   bounded prefix-host idle threshold.
+
+This should remain generic. PECOS should not encode downstream device names or
+experiment packages into the abstraction.
+
+## Fail-Loud Conditions
+
+PECOS should fail loudly when:
+
+- hosted metadata is attached to a source qubit but never consumed by a
+  compatible source operation.
+- two hosted metadata maps disagree on a key for the same source operation.
+- a required host is optimized away or cannot be matched to a lowered operation.
+- exact host provenance is requested but only inferred matching is available.
+- a scheduling policy such as `max_idle_time` is exceeded in the lowered trace.
+
+Error messages should include source labels, qubits, host labels, observed idle
+duration or tick separation, and the relevant policy.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should hosted groups be a first-class QIS `Operation`, or represented as
+  markers plus normal `QuantumOp`s?
+- Which Guppy/HUGR constructs can carry hosted relationships without being
+  optimized away?
+- Do runtime plugins need an explicit hosted-operation callback, or can PECOS
+  lower hosted groups into existing runtime APIs with flush boundaries and
+  metadata?
+- How should hosted operations interact with DEM generation for decoders that
+  consume raw hypergraph DEMs versus decomposed DEMs?
+- Can the same abstraction cover measurement-hosted readout prefixes and
+  two-qubit-gate-hosted basis prefixes?
+
+## Recommended Next Slice
+
+1. Add a minimal barrier-survival diagnostic for public Guppy barriers in QIS
+   traces.
+2. If preserving public barriers is small and generic, implement it as a
+   separate quality-of-lowering improvement.
+3. Prototype an explicit hosted SZZ prefix relationship in the QIS trace path.
+4. Use idle audits to compare hosted and unhosted lowering on representative
+   surface-code memory circuits.
+5. Keep downstream experiments guarded by exact provenance and prefix-host idle
+   thresholds until hosted scheduling is proven by traces.

Subject: [PATCH 263/388] Guard the narrow u64 decode APIs on DEM/decoder
 observable width (not just batch truth-width): reject >64-observable DEMs up
 front, fixing the decode_count_batch 1<<j overflow and the all-zero-truth
 bypass; guard decode_each too

Subject: [PATCH 265/388] Widen the SampleBatch decode methods to wide ObsMask
 masks (inline-fast for <=64, correct for >64) instead of rejecting >64: no
 truncation/panic, decode_count_batch decodes >64, decode_each returns Python
 ints

Subject: [PATCH 268/388] Invert the ObservableDecoder trait: decode_obs (wide
 ObsMask) is now the required primitive, decode_to_observables (u64) a derived
 default that errors on >64. Every inner decoder packs observables wide
 (PyMatching/DEM directly, matching decoders via from_u64), so the generic
 SampleBatch decode path fully handles >64 with no panic/truncation

Subject: [PATCH 273/388] Fail loud (not overflow-panic) when a graphlike
 matching decoder is built on a >64-observable DEM: add
 DemMatchingGraph/DemCheckMatrix ensure_observables_fit_u64 guards at every
 matching-decoder construction site, directing >64 cases to pymatching or
 LogicalSubgraphDecoder (round-4 Finding A)

Subject: [PATCH 274/388] Fix the inferred-zero default-quantum panic properly
 via a ClassicalEngine::has_dynamic_qubit_count capability: reject only
 dynamic-unknown-zero (QisEngine) + default fixed-size quantum, leaving
 genuinely-0-qubit static engines (classical-only QASM) untouched (round-4

Subject: [PATCH 277/388] Make PyMatching's narrow decode_batch_to_observables
 u64 batch API fail loud on >64 observables (8+ bit-packed bytes) instead of
 silently overflowing the shift; wide callers use decode_obs (round-4 minor)

 - A minimal Guppy public `barrier(...)` probe is currently optimized away before
   PECOS QIS operation collection. The captured raw operation trace contains
   allocations, gates, measurements, and releases, but no `Barrier` operation.
-- The generated surface SZZ/SZZdg path uses a PECOS-owned
-  `pecos_qis_runtime_barrier_qubit_hugr` helper for `szz_runtime_barriers`.
-  The helper returns its qubit argument to create a Guppy/HUGR data dependency
-  and queues a real `Operation::Barrier`, so Selene runtime lowering drains the
-  current batch before the following host operation.
+- PECOS-owned runtime-barrier helpers such as
+  `pecos_qis_runtime_barrier_qubit_hugr` return their qubit arguments to create
+  Guppy/HUGR data dependencies and queue a real `Operation::Barrier`, so Selene
+  runtime lowering drains the current batch before later dependent operations.
+- SZZ/SZZdg data-prefix barriers use the two-qubit
+  `pecos_qis_runtime_barrier_qubits2_hugr` helper. The helper consumes and
+  returns the host ancilla and data qubit, and the generated source places it
+  before the hosted data-prefix pulse. This is the dependency needed to prevent
+  the data-prefix pulse from being scheduled long before the host qubit is
+  ready.
 
 So barrier preservation requires a Guppy/HUGR/QIR/QIS bridge that lowers public
 barriers or qsystem `RuntimeBarrier` operations into `Operation::Barrier`

+
+guppylang registers each ``@guppy`` function by its module-qualified name, and
+the downstream Selene build cache keys compiled executables by the HUGR
+entry-point name (that same function name). A factory that builds a ``@guppy``
+program closing over compile-time parameters therefore hands every
+parameterization the *same* name::
+
+    def make_prog(num_rounds):
+        @guppy
+        def prog() -> None:          # __qualname__ == "make_prog.<locals>.prog"
+            for _ in range(comptime(num_rounds)):
+                ...
+        return prog
+
+Building two parameterizations in one process then collides: the second reuses
+the first's cached compilation / Selene executable and silently runs the wrong
+program. :func:`variant_scoped` gives each parameterization a distinct name so its
+identity -- and thus its HUGR entry point and Selene build -- is unique.

+
+    ``variant_scoped`` only renames ``func`` (setting ``__name__``/``__qualname__``)
+    and returns it; **you** apply ``guppy()`` to the result. This is required
+    because guppylang resolves the program's names (gates, ``result``, ...) against
+    the *caller's* module, so ``guppy()`` must be invoked where those names are in
+    scope -- a helper that called ``guppy()`` itself would fail to resolve them.
+
+    The variant suffix gives each parameterization a distinct module-qualified
+    name (so guppylang does not reuse a stale compiled body) and a distinct HUGR
+    entry-point name (so the Selene build cache does not reuse a stale

Subject: [PATCH 309/388] Fix dependency advisories in the uv/cargo locks
 (restoring dev's jupyter-chain bumps lost in the merge relock, re-locking
 zlup/zluppy with a corrected zluppy path dep, bumping anyhow) and add
 per-directory OSV-scanner ignore configs

Subject: [PATCH 312/388] Fix guppy constant rotation angles silently executing
 as zero-angle gates by tracing the static angle extraction through guppy's
 1-tuple wrap, with a Rust regression test and the real-quantum-circuits tests
 rewritten to the actual result contract

Subject: [PATCH 314/388] Fail loud on unresolvable rotation angles instead of
 silently emitting zero-angle gates, fixing the runtime angle chain
 (tuple-valued constants, prelude classical-op port counts, static fallback
 for expression angles) with fixture-backed engine regression tests

Subject: [PATCH 319/388] Fix classical value flow through HUGR control flow:
 first-class Sum values with executing Tag nodes, payload propagation across
 block/case/exit boundaries, unified classical-op classification,
 extension-aware readiness gating, per-iteration re-execution resets, and
 defer-instead-of-fabricate tuple/conversion/load_nat handlers, with a ch-gate
 end-to-end regression test

 for all op categories before any readiness check during CFG block
 re-activation, so Calls re-fire with fresh arguments instead of re-running
 iteration 0 forever

Subject: [PATCH 328/388] Close the second silent-completion path (stall check
 on the pre-drain empty-queue return, plus pending TailLoop controls in the
 report) and clear outer container gates for TailLoop body ops at expansion so
 retried nodes are not permanently starved

Subject: [PATCH 339/388] Fold in Codex round-3 findings: stop call/bool
 collection at case boundaries, clear case Input ports before propagation,
 propagate executed Sum payloads on TailLoop break and CFG exit regardless of
 source shape, and defer instead of fabricate in collections.array
 get/set/new_array and futures.Read

Subject: [PATCH 344/388] Fold in Codex round-4 findings: Euclidean signed
 division/modulo per the HUGR spec, strict checked-truncation bounds,
 UInt-aware unsigned extraction and convert_u signedness, pop_left defers on
 borrowed holes, delete the Conditional control-value branch shortcut, and pin
 conditional_x gate counts

Subject: [PATCH 348/388] Raise fatal execution faults instead of silent
 fallbacks: out-of-range branch tags error via a poison field, executed
 prelude.panic is a hard error, ishr is logical per spec, TailLoops get an
 iteration ceiling, sparse successor lists truncate loudly instead of shifting
 tags, pending resolvers early-return before cloning the HUGR, and first
 TailLoop expansion gets the two-phase state-clearing discipline

Subject: [PATCH 349/388] De-vacuum the test corpus: value-anchor the
 truthy-list and len-only assertions, require zero shot failures in the
 statevec tests, fail tests on pipeline errors instead of success-gating
 (exposing ten dead tests now strict-xfailed with precise reasons including
 seven never-compiling programs), add a real for-loop test, enable the
 years-disabled X-branch assertion, and add deterministic
 shift/zero-iteration/div-zero/recursion tests

Subject: [PATCH 351/388] Fold in round-6 re-review: RNG ops emit value-first
 with NewRNGContext returning an option per the tket-qsystem signatures,
 RandomAdvance defers on missing context, the empty-block multi-successor path
 errors on out-of-range tags, unwired no-CFG passthrough outputs error, CFG
 cycles get a transition ceiling, and division by zero panics per the spec
 (test flipped from the legacy pin)

Subject: [PATCH 352/388] Fix nested-loop starvation (zero-op conditional cases
 now run completion hooks that wake order-edge consumers), add a 14-program
 dynamic semantic sweep, and fold in Codex round-7: RNG ops emit value-first
 tuples and NewRNGContext a real option (pinned by a builder-chain unit test),
 RandomInt masks to 32 bits, RandomIntBounded poisons on non-positive bounds,
 futures.Free defers instead of silently succeeding, and zero-output no-CFG
 function bodies are shape-checked instead of vacuously passing

+"""Dynamic semantic sweep: execute diverse guppy programs end-to-end.
+
+Every static review of the HUGR engine shared one blind spot: nobody RAN
+adversarial programs against it. Each test here is a deterministic program
+whose classical computation gates an X on a fresh qubit -- the measurement
+is 1 iff the engine computed the exact expected value, so a wrong result,
+a stalled loop, or a mis-propagated wire fails loudly. Programs are chosen
+to cross-cut the semantics the engine implements: Euclidean division,
+logical shifts, comparison chains, nested and zero-iteration loops, while
+loops, measurement-conditioned branches, function calls, tuples, and
+sequential loops sharing state.

Subject: [PATCH 354/388] Consolidate the six container-activation sites (CFG
 entry/transition, case expansion, TailLoop expand/continue, Call frames) onto
 one two-phase ContainerActivation mechanism that structurally enforces
 reset-before-readiness

+//! Container activation as a mechanism: the two-phase discipline.
+//!
+//! Every container (re-)activation -- CFG entry blocks and transitions,
+//! Conditional case expansion, `TailLoop` expansion and continuation, and
+//! Call frame re-activation -- must clear ALL stale state (processed flags,
+//! output wires) BEFORE any readiness check queues work. Readiness
+//! (`all_predecessors_ready`) consults the processed set, so interleaving
+//! clear-and-queue per op category lets a consumer pass its readiness check
+//! against a not-yet-cleared producer's previous-iteration flags, fire
+//! early, and copy stale or missing values (the historical loop-freeze
+//! class of bugs).
+//!
+//! Sites build a [`ContainerActivation`] batch with their own selection
+//! logic (which nodes, in which order, under which queue policy);
+//! [`HugrEngine::run_activation`] enforces the phase ordering so no site
+//! can get it wrong again.

Subject: [PATCH 359/388] Model int widths: classification reads the op's
 BoundedNat log_width, values store canonically sign-extended per width,
 unsigned reads mask, shifts drop past-width bits, rotates/popcnt/clz/ctz work
 within N bits, and widen_u zero-extends from the source width

Subject: [PATCH 360/388] Support higher-order array scan (per-element
 execution through Call-frame machinery for both CFG and plain-dataflow
 function bodies, with LoadFunction producing first-class FuncRef values),
 parse result labels from typed String args instead of Debug scraping, and
 flip conditional_x to assert clean completion with its captured result array

+"""Generative program fuzzing for the HUGR engine.
+
+Each seed generates a random classical program that is simultaneously valid
+Python and valid guppy: plain Python `exec` computes the reference value,
+and the guppy version gates an X on a fresh qubit iff the engine computes
+the same value. Every divergence -- a wrong arithmetic result, a
+mis-executed loop, a dropped branch -- fails loudly as a 0 measurement.
+
+Generated programs stay in Euclidean-safe territory (every reduction uses a
+positive literal modulus, divisions use positive literal divisors) so
+Python's floor semantics coincide exactly with the HUGR spec's Euclidean
+semantics, and magnitudes stay far below 64-bit wrap.

Subject: [PATCH 366/388] Panel-2 batch 1: out-of-range Conditional/TailLoop
 tags poison, TailLoop control resolution gates on body completion,
 nodes_inside_cases rebuilds on reset, poison surfaces at loop entry, bare DFG
 containers fault loudly, pending_conditionals is a set, pending_func_calls is
 a deduped FIFO, dead Tag audit exemption removed

Subject: [PATCH 367/388] Panel-2 batch 2: TryQAlloc emits a real Option Sum
 carrying the qubit, RandomInt/RandomIntBounded store canonically at int<5>
 with unsigned bound reads, RandomAdvance faults on backtracking and
 unboundedly large deltas, result_uint/result_array_uint bit-reinterpret
 canonical storage, and unresolved symbolic angles fault instead of defaulting
 to identity

Subject: [PATCH 368/388] Panel-2 batch 3: readiness treats a Conditional with
 an active case as not-ready (one-shot input copiers no longer fire early),
 case payload offsets derive from the type row, loop-continue clears stale
 just-input wires, LoadConstant children count in block emptiness/completion
 with extra pending-branch wake-ups, and empty-block/scan-passthrough chains
 iterate instead of recursing

Subject: [PATCH 369/388] Panel-2 batch 4: scan frames carry LoadFunction type
 args (generic scanned functions resolve load_nat), trunc_s/u range-check and
 canonicalize at the op's width, iu_to_s/is_to_u fault out of range per spec,
 shadowed divergent arms deleted (float comparisons, convert aliases,
 nonexistent bit-count ops) with fmax/fmin/fpow confirmed live, prelude.exit
 faults explicitly, and ConstUsize/ConstError constants parse

Subject: [PATCH 370/388] Panel-2 batch 5: de-vacuum round 2
 (phase/rotation/boolean/feedback/conditional/QFT/Hadamard tests assert real
 distributions, backend-unavailable skips honestly, Bell/Grover pins exact),
 the two skip-marker constructs un-skipped (RUS while loop reports via
 result(), deep circuit passes), interference test pins the correct 50/50
 physics, and the Python-vs-HUGR divergent regimes (negative divisors, logical
 shifts, past-width shifts) pinned with spec-derived expectations

Subject: [PATCH 372/388] Performance: the work queue gains a membership mirror
 (O(log n) contains, dedup on push) and the loaded Hugr lives behind an Arc so
 per-round and per-wave handles stop deep-cloning the graph -- guppy tree wall
 time drops ~60%

Subject: [PATCH 374/388] RandomAdvance jumps in O(log delta) both directions:
 xorshift64 is linear over GF(2), so advancement is a 64x64 bit-matrix power
 and backtracking uses the 2^64-1 period -- the step ceiling and backtracking
 fault are gone, pinned by jump-vs-stepping and round-trip tests

Subject: [PATCH 377/388] Fold in round-10 two-arm verification: successor
 Input wires clear before block-output propagation (stale-iteration values
 starve loudly), block/CFG payload offsets derive from type-level arity,
 unknown transition successors poison instead of spinning past the ceiling,
 extension Faults skip the completion cascades, synchronously-completed scans
 no longer re-park as false stalls, NewRNGContext reads the seed's canonical
 bit pattern, pass-through ops defer on missing inputs, DFG containers flatten
 explicitly, and impossible scan-launch states fault loudly

Subject: [PATCH 381/388] Fold in third-panel findings: measurement replay
 becomes fill-only with purge-on-reactivation retention and post-replay
 resolver re-runs, the classical executor resolves inputs through the tracing
 layer (pinned end-to-end: a nested-DFG op previously deferred forever), qubit
 tracing crosses DFG boundaries with depth-capped recursion, Call arguments
 and conditional virtual payloads clear stale state before rewrite, and the
 fail-loud edges close (Engine::process with pending quantum work, gate
 modifiers, the gate-emitter catch-all, the empty-queue stall check,
 port-keyed return capture, global_phase deferral) with capacity-guard
 dispatcher tests replacing the vacuous allocation test

Subject: [PATCH 382/388] Fold in round-11 verification: boundary copiers and
 resolve_qubits read through the DFG-tracing layer (a gate on a DFG output ran
 on a phantom qubit), conditional Sum payloads move to a dedicated map ending
 the real-port aliasing, TailLoop/Call inputs clear stale state and gain
 fill-only post-measurement repair, block re-activation resets descend
 flattened DFG interiors, replay edges carry cascade ids so within-cascade
 chains survive purging and only the latest cascade refills, return capture is
 positional at collection with signature-derived arity, and batch scheduling
 counts builder messages so handler-emitted commands are never dropped

Subject: [PATCH 387/388] Keep LLVM out of the base pecos-rslib wheel: split
 pecos's hugr feature into lean hugr (interpreter) and hugr-qis (LLVM compile
 chain), move compile_hugr_to_qis to the pecos-rslib-llvm wheel and
 result_tags/envelope loading to pecos-hugr, lower HUGR to QIS at runtime via
 the LLVM wheel when a QIS/Selene classical engine is selected, and re-attach
 the stored program when classical() swaps the engine builder (LLVM 21's
 Windows build links zlib.dll, which broke clean-machine imports of the base
 wheel)
