+//! Logical-operator subgraph decoder for transversal gates.
+//!
+//! 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.
+//!
+//! Naming: abbreviate this "LS decoder" if needed — never "LSD", which collides
+//! with BP-LSD (Localised Statistics Decoding) elsewhere in the workspace.
+//!
+//! # Algorithm
+//!
+//! 1. Classify each detector by (`logical_qubit`, `stabilizer_type`) using
+//!    spatial coordinates
+//! 2. For each observable, find its boundary edges (1-detector mechanisms)
+//!    to identify which (qubit, `stab_type`) groups form its observing region
+//! 3. Extract a sub-DEM restricted to those detectors
+//! 4. Run any MWPM-compatible decoder on each subgraph independently
+//! 5. Combine per-logical-operator corrections
+//!
+//! # Observing Region
+//!
+//! The observing region for observable k is NOT a transitive closure over
+//! shared detectors. It is determined by the *physical structure*:
+//! - Find boundary edges (1-detector + observable) for observable k
+//! - Each boundary edge's detector belongs to a (qubit, `stab_type`) group
+//! - ALL detectors in those groups form the observing region
+//! - This preserves the graphlike property of each subgraph

+//! 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).

+//! 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.

-//! Per-observable subgraph decoder for transversal gates.
-//!
-//! Based on the insight (proved independently by Serra-Peralta et al.
-//! arXiv:2505.13599 and Cain et al. arXiv:2505.13587) that per-observable
-//! subgraphs of a transversal-gate DEM are always graphlike — even when
-//! the full DEM contains weight-3+ hyperedges.
-//!
-//! # Algorithm
-//!
-//! 1. Classify each detector by (`logical_qubit`, `stabilizer_type`) using
-//!    spatial coordinates
-//! 2. For each observable, find its boundary edges (1-detector mechanisms)
-//!    to identify which (qubit, `stab_type`) groups form its observing region
-//! 3. Extract a sub-DEM restricted to those detectors
-//! 4. Run any MWPM-compatible decoder on each subgraph independently
-//! 5. Combine per-observable corrections
-//!
-//! # Observing Region
-//!
-//! The observing region for observable k is NOT a transitive closure over
-//! shared detectors. It is determined by the *physical structure*:
-//! - Find boundary edges (1-detector + observable) for observable k
-//! - Each boundary edge's detector belongs to a (qubit, `stab_type`) group
-//! - ALL detectors in those groups form the observing region
-//! - This preserves the graphlike property of each subgraph

+//! 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.

 //! 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::*;
-//!
-//! // 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_engines::shot_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_engines::shot_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_engines::shot_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 columnar format for analysis
-//! let shot_map = results.try_as_shot_map().unwrap();
-//!
-//! // Efficient analysis of specific registers

+//! 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.

 //! Array operations (`collections.array`).
 //!
-//! This module handles array collection operations:
-//! - Creation: `new_array`, `repeat`
-//! - Access: `get`, `set`, `len`
-//! - Modification: `push`, `pop`, `swap`
+//! Implements the HUGR std array ops with their spec signatures
+//! (`hugr-core` `std_extensions/collections/array/array_op.rs`):
+//! - `new_array<n, T>`: `[T; n] -> [array]`
+//! - `unpack<n, T>`: `[array] -> [T; n]`
+//! - `get<n, T>`: `[array, usize] -> [option<T>, array]`
+//! - `set<n, T>`: `[array, usize, T] -> [either([T, array], [T, array])]`
+//!   (tag 1 = success carrying the displaced element; tag 0 = out-of-bounds
+//!   carrying the given element back so linear values are not lost)
+//! - `swap<n, T>`: `[array, usize, usize] -> [either([array], [array])]`
+//! - `pop_left`/`pop_right<n, T>`: `[array] -> [option<(T, array<n-1>)>]`
+//! - `discard_empty<T>`: `[array<0, T>] -> []`
+//!
+//! Handlers defer (return false) on missing inputs so consumers never see
+//! fabricated arrays or elements; unknown ops also defer so they surface in
+//! the completion-time stall report instead of silently passing through.

 //! Borrow array operations (`collections.borrow_arr`).
 //!
-//! This module handles borrow-checked array operations emitted by Guppy
-//! for array element access with ownership tracking. At simulation time,
-//! borrow tracking is irrelevant -- we just need array access semantics.
+//! This module handles borrow-checked array operations emitted by Guppy for
+//! array element access with ownership tracking (`qs[i]`, array
+//! comprehensions, `discard_array`). Arrays are represented as
+//! [`ClassicalValue::Array`] whose slots hold element values (qubits as
+//! [`ClassicalValue::QubitRef`]) or [`ClassicalValue::Borrowed`] holes.
 //!
-//! Operations:
-//! - `new_all_borrowed`: Create an empty borrow array
-//! - `borrow`: Extract element at index from array
-//! - `return`: Put element back into array
-//! - `discard_all_borrowed`: Finalize/cleanup (no-op for simulation)
+//! Operations (signatures per the HUGR std extension):
+//! - `new_all_borrowed<n, T>`: `[] -> [array]` -- n slots, all holes
+//! - `borrow<n, T>`: `[array, usize] -> [array, elem]` -- take slot, leave hole
+//! - `return<n, T>`: `[array, usize, elem] -> [array]` -- fill hole
+//! - `is_borrowed<n, T>`: `[array, usize] -> [array, bool]`
+//! - `discard_all_borrowed<n, T>`: `[array] -> []` -- consume the array
+//!
+//! Handlers defer (return false) on missing inputs so consumers never see
+//! fabricated arrays or elements; a permanently missing input surfaces via
+//! completion-time stall detection.

+/// Jeffreys credible interval for a binomial proportion.
+///
+/// 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
+/// the upper bound is 1 when `successes == trials`.
+///
+/// # 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)
+///
+/// # Returns
+///
+/// `(lower, upper)` bounds on the proportion.
+///
+/// # Panics
+///
+/// Panics if `trials == 0`, `trials > 10^12`, `successes > trials`, or
+/// `confidence` is not in (0, 1). The first three are contract
+/// violations; the trials cap marks the scale beyond which the
+/// underlying incomplete-beta continued fraction has not been validated
+/// (it can converge spuriously for extreme shape parameters, returning a
+/// nonsense interval without warning). Also panics if the computed
+/// bounds come back inverted — a numeric-breakdown trip-wire that should
+/// be unreachable within the supported scales.
+///
+/// # Examples

 //! # 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.

+# 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);
+//! #     results.shots.push(shot);
+//! # }
+//! // 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();
+//! let average: f64 = measurements.iter().sum::<u64>() as f64 / measurements.len() as f64;
+//! ```

+//! 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 XOR-combined.
+//!
+//! 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.

+//! 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. Each test pins three
+//! configurations against the gate-removing analytic and against one another:
+//! engines, neo configured DIRECTLY via `sim_neo`, and neo reached through the
+//! `sim().stack(Neo)` FACADE (which now maps the engines emission ratios onto
+//! neo's builder).
+//!
+//! 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`).

+//! Validation-gate item V6: the neo-routable EXAMPLE sweep.
+//!
+//! 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`.

+# `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,notest
+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,notest
+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,notest
+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.
+- Runtime plugins are intentionally generic: pass any Selene-compatible runtime
+  plugin object through `pecos.selene_engine(runtime)` or the higher-level
+  `runtime=...` arguments on traced Guppy/DEM helpers. PECOS should depend only
+  on the public shape of those plugin objects; experiment-specific runtimes and
+  package sources belong in downstream projects.
+- 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.
+- 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.

+# 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.
+- 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`
+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. Current strict-xfail target:
+   `test_guppy_barrier_survives_into_qis_operation_trace`. The generated SZZ
+   path has a positive regression,
+   `test_szz_runtime_barrier_survives_into_qis_operation_trace`, through the
+   PECOS runtime-barrier helper.
+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.

+# 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.
+
+## 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 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. 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.
+7. Thread the new options through Python bindings and surface helper APIs.
+8. Keep coverage diagnostics reporting unsupported crosstalk branches as omitted
+   until the relevant DEM modes are 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.

+# 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?

+PECOS enables inkwell's `llvm21-1-prefer-dynamic` feature. That means Rust

+can provide it. The managed installer rejects static LLVM because the normal

 ### Platform-Specific Notes
 
 **macOS:**
 
-- Supports both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures
+- Use Homebrew LLVM 21: `brew install llvm@21`
 - Automatically detects Homebrew installations
-- Downloads appropriate binary for each platform
 
 **Linux:**
 
-- Detects system LLVM via `llvm-config-14` command
-- Supports x86_64 and aarch64 architectures
+- Detects system LLVM via `llvm-config-21` command
+- Managed install uses apt.llvm.org on Debian/Ubuntu-compatible x86_64 and
+  aarch64 systems
+- Other Linux distributions should install shared LLVM 21 through their package
+  manager and run `pecos llvm configure /path/to/llvm`
 
 **Windows:**
 
-- Uses `.7z` archives for distribution
-- Pure Rust extraction (no external tools required)
-- Official LLVM Windows installer lacks development files - use `pecos install llvm` or community packages
+- 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.

+"""Diagnose raw DEMs and graphlike decompositions for traced-QIS surface circuits.
+
+The script keeps sampling fixed: each case samples once from the exact native
+influence-model DEM, then decodes the same detector events with several decoder
+views of the model. The graphlike views are lossy hyperedge-to-edge projections
+for graph decoders, so this separates raw DEM generation from graphlike
+decomposition quality.
+
+Example:
+    uv run python examples/surface/dem_decomposition_diagnostics.py \\
+        --distances 3 5 --bases X Z --interaction-bases cx szz \\
+        --p 0.006 --shots 10000 --tesseract-beams 5 20

+"""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``).

+"""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.
+For SZZ/SZZdg cases the staged device model treats Z/SZ/SZdg frame updates as
+noiseless virtual operations, so p1 location comparisons include that
+assumption as well as the gate-basis change.
+
+Example:
+    uv run python examples/surface/szz_circuit_quality_report.py \\
+        --distances 3 5 --bases X Z --interaction-bases cx szz

+# 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
+2. **CNOT** entangles the qubits: creates |Φ+⟩ = (|00⟩ + |11⟩) / √2
+3. **Measure** collapses to either |00⟩ or |11⟩ with equal probability
+
+## What's Next?
+
+The Zlup code can now be:
+
+- Compiled to QASM for hardware execution
+- Optimized by the Zlup compiler
+- Analyzed for resource usage

+# 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:
+    1. Oracle (placeholder: CZ on first two qubits)
+    2. Diffusion operator (H gates + phase flip + H gates)
+    """
+    for i in range(iterations):
+        # Oracle (simplified)
+        cz(q[0], q[1])
+
+        # Diffusion: H on all qubits

+        h(q[2])
+        h(q[3])
+
+        # Phase flip would go here
+
+        # Diffusion: H on all qubits again

+    grover_iteration(q, 3)
+
+    # Measure and emit results

+    result("measurements", m)
+```
+
+## 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?

+## 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.

+
+## 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                     |

+| 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);
+//! ```

 ## 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());

+`.build()`.

+    .max_levels(20)                 // Safety limit on levels
+    .min_conditional_prob(1e-6)     // Give up below this conditional probability
+```

-    count_syndrome_errors(outcomes) as f64
-};

+//! Per-gate-type, optionally per-qubit Pauli noise.
+//!
+//! Mirrors pecos-qec's `PerGateTypeNoise` layered lookup so circuit-level
+//! Monte Carlo on this stack can run the same noise that drives DEM
+//! generation:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! 1. per-(gate, qubit) rates        // most specific
+//! 2. per-gate-type rates
+//! 3. base p1/3 (or p2/15) uniform   // fallback
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Rates are absolute per-Pauli probabilities (NOT normalized weights):
+//! a `[f64; 3]` entry is `[P(X), P(Y), P(Z)]` and the gate's total error
+//! probability is the sum. Two-qubit arrays follow [`TWO_QUBIT_PAULIS`]
+//! ordering. Idle noise is out of scope here — compose with
+//! [`super::idle::IdleChannel`] for T1/T2 effects.

 //! 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

+//! ## Accuracy caveat
+//!
+//! The multi-level resampling in this implementation does not yet condition the

+//! 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

+# 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]);
+
+    // Measure all qubits
+    results: [4]u1 = mz([4]u1) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3]];
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+# Build the compiler
+cargo build --features cli
+
+# Run tests
+cargo test --features cli
+
+# Compile a program
+cargo run --features cli -- compile program.zlp
+
+# Check without compiling
+cargo run --features cli -- check program.zlp
+```
+
+Or use the Justfile:
+
+```bash
+just build      # Build compiler
+just test       # Run tests
+just docs       # View documentation
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+Full documentation is available in the `docs/` directory:
+
+| Document | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| [Tutorial](docs/tutorial.md) | Getting started guide |
+| [Language Syntax](docs/syntax.md) | Complete language reference |
+| [CLI Reference](docs/cli.md) | Command-line interface |
+| [Standard Library](docs/stdlib.md) | Standard library reference |
+| [Error Messages](docs/errors.md) | Error messages guide |
+| [Design Philosophy](docs/design.md) | Why Zlup exists |
+| [Rust Integration](docs/rust-integration.md) | FFI and native backends |
+| [IDE Setup](docs/ide-setup.md) | Editor configuration |
+
+To view docs locally:
+
+```bash
+just docs  # Starts server at http://127.0.0.1:8000
+```
+
+## 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 |

+### 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
+

+### Hello Quantum World

+    q := qalloc(2);  // no mut needed - just applying gates
+    pz q;
+
+    // Create Bell state

+
+## 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.

+
+## 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
+
+// Good
+r: u8 = mz(pack u8) [q[0], q[1], q[2], q[3], q[4]];  // 8 bits >= 5 qubits
+```
+
+---
+
+## 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
+
+```

+```
+
+### 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>"]
+license = "Apache-2.0"
+
+[dependencies]
+# External Zlup packages (future)
+# other-package = "0.1.0"
+

+# Rust crates to build and link
+decoder = { path = "ffi/decoder" }
+```
+
+### 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
+
+### QEC: Logical Gates
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.{h, cx, pz};
+
+// Distance-3 surface code logical Hadamard
+pub gate logical_h(data: [9]qubit) {
+    // Transversal H
+    inline for i in 0..9 {
+        h data[i];
+    }
+}
+
+// Logical CNOT between two codes
+pub gate logical_cx(ctrl: [9]qubit, tgt: [9]qubit) {
+    inline for i in 0..9 {
+        cx (ctrl[i], tgt[i]);
+    }
+}
+
+pub fn main() -> unit {
+    mut base := qalloc(18);
+    code1 := base.child(9);
+    code2 := base.child(9);
+
+    pz code1;
+    pz code2;
+
+    logical_h(code1);
+    logical_cx(code1, code2);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Target: Hardware (Trapped Ion)
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.pz;
+
+// Mølmer-Sørensen gate (trapped ion native)
+@target("trapped_ion")
+declare gate ms(theta: a64)(a: qubit, b: qubit);
+
+// Global rotation (all ions)
+@target("trapped_ion")
+declare gate gpi(theta: a64)(q: qubit);
+
+pub fn ion_bell_state() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(2);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Native trapped-ion Bell state preparation
+    ms(1/4 turns) (q[0], q[1]);
+
+    return;

+```
+
+### Target: Simulator
+

+
+pub fn use_simulator_gates() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(3);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Simulator applies this directly (no decomposition overhead)
+    optimized_toffoli(q[0], q[1], q[2]);
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Target: Noise Model
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+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);
+
+// Noise model might define entirely synthetic gates for testing
+@target("noise_model:test")
+declare gate perfect_cx(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);  // No noise
+@target("noise_model:test")
+declare gate very_noisy_cx(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit);  // High error rate
+
+pub fn noise_comparison() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(4);
+    pz q;
+
+    // Compare different noise characteristics
+    calibrated_cx(q[0], q[1]);  // Realistic noise from calibration data
+    perfect_cx(q[2], q[3]);     // Idealized for debugging
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Dynamical Decoupling
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.{h, x, y, pz};
+
+// Echo sequence for noise suppression
+@atomic  // Noise model sees this as one "echo" operation
+gate echo_xy(q: qubit) {
+    x q;
+    y q;
+    x q;
+    y q;
+}
+
+// CPMG sequence
+@atomic
+gate cpmg(n: comptime usize)(q: qubit) {

+    }
+}
+
+pub fn protected_operation() -> unit {
+    q := qalloc(1);
+    pz q;
+
+    h q[0];
+    echo_xy q[0];  // Protect during idle time
+    h q[0];
+
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Debugging with Decomposed Noise
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+std := @import("std");
+use std.gates.{h, cx, rz};
+
+// Atomic noise (default)
+gate rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    h tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    rz(theta) tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);
+    h tgt;
+}
+
+// Same gate, but see noise on each component
+@decomposed
+gate debug_rzx(theta: a64)(ctrl: qubit, tgt: qubit) {
+    h tgt;
+    cx (ctrl, tgt);

+}
+

+
+    // Atomic noise
+    rzx(1/4 turns) (q[0], q[1]);
+
+    // 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;` |
+

+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,

+
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Types
+// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+/// Packed syndrome from two stabilizer measurements.

+    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.

+/// 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 {

+    return;

+
+## 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() {
+        let decoder = MwpmDecoder::new(3);
+        let syndrome = 0b0000;  // No errors
+        let correction = decoder.decode(syndrome);
+        assert_eq!(correction, 0);  // No correction needed
+    }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_decode_single_error() {
+        let decoder = MwpmDecoder::new(3);
+        let syndrome = 0b0011;  // Single X error
+        let correction = decoder.decode(syndrome);
+        assert_ne!(correction, 0);  // Correction applied
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Testing with Zlup
+
+```bash
+# Run Zlup tests that exercise FFI
+zlup test ./tests/*.zlp --link-lib=my_decoder
+```
+

+```
+
+---
+
+## 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).

+
+// Angles

+```
+
+### Strings
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+// Regular string (escape sequences processed)
+"hello\nworld"
+
+// Raw string (no escape processing)
+r"C:\Users\path"
+r"\d+\.\d+"     // Regex pattern
+
+// Multi-line string (triple-quoted)
+"""
+Line 1

+f"Value: {x}"
+f"Pi = {pi:.2f}"        // With format specifier
+f"Padded: {n:08d}"      // Zero-padded
+```
+
+### Escape Sequences
+
+| Sequence | Character |
+|----------|-----------|
+| `\n` | Newline |
+| `\r` | Carriage return |
+| `\t` | Tab |
+| `\\` | Backslash |
+| `\"` | Double quote |
+| `\'` | Single quote |
+| `\0` | Null |
+| `\{` | Literal `{` in f-strings |
+| `\}` | Literal `}` in f-strings |

+none            // Optional null value
+undefined       // Uninitialized value
+unit            // Unit type value
+'a'             // Character literal
+```
+
+---
+
+## Variables and Bindings
+
+### Immutable Bindings
+
+```zlup_fragment
+x := 42;                    // Type inferred
+y: u32 = 100;              // Type explicit
+z := "hello";              // String
+```
+
+### Mutable Bindings
+
+```zlup_fragment
+mut count := 0;            // Mutable, type inferred
+mut buffer: [10]u8 = undefined;  // Mutable array
+count = count + 1;         // Assignment
+count += 1;                // Compound assignment
+```
+
+### Aliases
+
+Aliases create named views into existing data with overlap checking:
+
+```zlup_nocheck
+arr: [8]u32 = undefined;
+
+// Create non-overlapping aliases
+alias data := arr[0..4];
+alias ancilla := arr[4..8];
+
+// Use aliases like slices
+process(data);
+h ancilla[0];
+
+// 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 |
+| `^=` | Bitwise XOR 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

+[_]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.
+

+// 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`.

+```
+

+    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 { }
+```
+

+
+---
+
+## 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 |
+
+### Testing
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `test_lsp.zlp` | Test file for LSP functionality |
+
+## Learning Path
+
+1. Start with `bell_state.zlp` to understand basic gates and entanglement
+2. Move to `ghz_state.zlp` to see loops and multiple qubits
+3. Try `teleportation.zlp` for a complete protocol
+4. Explore `simple_qec.zlp` for error correction concepts
+5. Study `grover_2qubit.zlp` and `qft_3qubit.zlp` for algorithms

+# 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)
+

+| `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 |

+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `QubitId` | Opaque qubit identifier |
+| `GateType` | Enum of supported gate types |
+| `PackedBits<N>` | Efficient bit storage for syndromes |

+//!
+//! 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

+// Angle64 - Fixed-point angle representation
+// =============================================================================
+
+/// A 64-bit fixed-point angle representation.
+///
+/// Angles are stored as fractions of a full turn using fixed-point arithmetic.
+/// The internal representation uses a u64 where [0, 2^64) maps to [0, 1) turns.
+/// This provides exact representation for all dyadic fractions (denominators
+/// that are powers of 2), which covers all common quantum gate angles:
+///
+/// - 1/2 turn (π rad) = 2^63
+/// - 1/4 turn (π/2 rad) = 2^62
+/// - 1/8 turn (π/4 rad, T-gate) = 2^61
+/// - etc.
+///
+/// # Design Rationale
+///
+/// This representation is compatible with PECOS's angle handling and avoids
+/// floating-point precision issues that can cause bugs in quantum circuits
+/// (similar to the Mars Climate Orbiter unit conversion bug).

+//! 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
+//!
+//! The formatter uses an AST-based approach when the source is valid Zlup code.
+//! For code that fails to parse, it falls back to a text-based formatter that
+//! handles basic indentation and spacing.

+//! # 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.
+
+// Experimental crate - suppress docs and dead code warnings during development

+//! Linter for Zlup code quality and NASA Power of 10 compliance.
+//!
+//! Provides static analysis checks beyond semantic correctness:
+//! - NASA Power of 10 rules
+//! - Code style and naming conventions
+//! - Complexity metrics
+//! - Best practices for quantum code
+//!
+//! ## Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! use zlup::linter::{Linter, LintConfig};
+//!
+//! let source = "fn main() -> unit { return unit; }";
+//! let program = zlup::parse(source).expect("parse failed");
+//! let linter = Linter::new(LintConfig::strict());
+//! let diagnostics = linter.lint(&program);
+//! // diagnostics contains any lint warnings/errors found
+//! ```

+//! 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.

+//! This module provides a `Rational` type that represents fractions exactly,

+//! (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()

+"""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 -- NOT part of the supported ``pecos.qec``
+API. It is deliberately *not* re-exported by ``pecos.qec.__init__`` (importing
+``pecos.qec`` does not pull it in). QUARANTINE: this module imports ``stim`` at
+module load and uses ``stim.Circuit.detecting_regions`` at runtime, which
+violates the project rule that externals (stim, numpy, ...) are dev/test oracles,
+never on a runtime path. Do NOT import this on any decode path. A production
+version must compute observing regions natively (pecos-eeg / EEG-Heisenberg) and
+the GF(2) null space via pecos-num. It is also currently a no-op on the circuits
+PECOS emits today (every observable is already reliable). See
+``pecos-docs/design/lomatching-paper-additional-learnings.md``.

+"""Configuration objects for Pauli-frame twirling.
+
+`TwirlConfig` carries the twirl-site declaration: scheme, where in the
+circuit twirling sites are emitted, how the per-shot mask is encoded into
+the runtime result bundle after the corresponding physical Pauli gates
+are applied, how generated Guppy measurement records are framed, and the
+runtime activation probability. `scheme`, `site_schedule`, and
+`result_encoding` are structural for abstract DEM / topology caches.
+`frame_output` and `twirl_probability` are runtime-only: raw/canonical and
+scaled/unscaled Guppy records share the same abstract DEM and
+`PauliFrameLookup`.
+
+Scaled twirl uses fixed RNG consumption: generated Guppy draws both an
+activation decision and a Pauli code at every site, even when inactive. This
+intentionally changed the exact seed-to-mask stream from the pre-scaled
+implementation, but preserves same-seed reproducibility within one build and
+enables common-random-number comparisons across different activation
+probabilities.
+
+`GuppyRngMaskConfig` carries the **runtime** mask source: a stream-separator
+seed mixed with 32 bits of per-shot quantum entropy when the mask is drawn,
+applied to data qubits, and recorded via `result()`. Two abstract circuits
+identical except for `seed`, `frame_output`, or `twirl_probability` reuse the
+same DEM but produce different shot-level runtime records, so those values
+belong in the Guppy-module / compiled-shot cache layer but NOT in the abstract
+DEM cache.
+
+The split mirrors the two-tracks-per-twirl-setting architecture from the
+design doc: the abstract circuit (consumer: DEM builder,
+`PauliFrameLookup`, decoder structure) consumes `TwirlConfig`; the Guppy
+module (consumer: Selene runtime) consumes `TwirlConfig` AND

+"""Canonical Pauli-twirl site mapping.
+
+This maps twirl-site declarations for both 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 backwards-compatible helpers below describe the `between_rounds`
+schedule: `site_idx == round_idx`, one site between each pair of
+consecutive syndrome rounds, and one Pauli-mask column per data qubit at
+that site. The `before_two_qubit_gate` helpers describe the gate-local
+schedule: one tag per two-qubit gate occurrence and two Pauli-mask
+columns per tag (control operand then target operand).
+
+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:*`,
+  `pauli_active:*`,
+  `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
+  measurement tag grammar and exact ``"final"`` as measurement records.

+A hosted operation is a source-local operation whose semantic role is tied to a
+later host operation.  For example, an SZZ surface-code data-prefix pulse can
+declare ``host_id=<source SZZ id>`` and ``local_role=basis_prefix`` while the
+lowered SZZ/SZZdg host carries the same ``host_id``.  Runtimes are free to
+lower and schedule the gates, but traced circuits can then fail loudly if the
+source-host relationship was lost or separated too far.

+"""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, shift
+operands are pre-masked non-negative) BY DESIGN: plain Python is only a
+valid reference where its semantics coincide with HUGR's. The regimes
+where they diverge -- negative divisors (floor vs Euclidean with an
+UNSIGNED divisor bit pattern), arithmetic-vs-logical right shift on
+negative operands, and shifts past the width -- are pinned separately with
+hand-derived spec expectations in test_semantic_sweep.py.

+is 1 iff the engine computed the exact expected value, so a wrong result,

+"""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.

+"""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.
