Lesson 084: Measurement semantics checklist
Focus
Prefer falsifiable hypotheses (shot count, fidelity floor) over buzzword proofs-of-concepts. Token Measurement semantics checklist:84 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

1. Target CI width `0.075` @ confidence `95`
2. Pilot shots `1024` expanding to `4445` if variance plateaus
3. Telemetry fields `job_id,device_tz,mitigation_bundle`
4. Stop rule `halt if RB infidelity > 0.002143`
