Lesson 097: Small-circuit fidelity heuristics
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Small-circuit fidelity heuristics:97 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

- 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-1671`
Rollback triggers: CX depth > THRESH-191 OR queue SLA breach without mitigation flip.
Practice
