Lesson 053: Calibration window awareness
Focus
Bias toward repeatable experiment notebooks: circuits, mitigation settings, timestamps. Token Calibration window awareness:53 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas

Transpilation checklist
- [ ] basis translation logged for `rz-sx vs native`
- [ ] SWAP count vs manual estimate delta noted
- [ ] layout seed `S-549`
