Lesson 056: Calibration window awareness
Focus
Separate statistical noise from calibration drift before claiming algorithm wins. Token Calibration window awareness:56 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas
- Thread: Calibration window awareness · drill v6 · spin
637337. - 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.

Transpilation checklist
- [ ] basis translation logged for `rz-sx vs native`
- [ ] SWAP count vs manual estimate delta noted
- [ ] layout seed `S-456`
Rollback triggers: CX depth > THRESH-180 OR queue SLA breach without mitigation flip.
