Lesson 088: Audit trail for experiment IDs
Focus
Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Audit trail for experiment IDs:88 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Audit trail for experiment IDs · drill v8 · spin
545287. - Habit: pair each job with shot budget, mitigation profile, and a calibration fingerprint you could paste.
- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.

| Artefact | Honesty check |
|----------|---------------|
| Exact statevector (n<19) | qubit ceiling note |
| Noisy emulation | pauli/channel parity |
| Device trace | leakage / crosstalk tag `spike` |
Hypothesis `parity oscillation damping` ties lesson 88 to observables not vibes.
