Lesson 122: Hamiltonian abstraction guards
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Hamiltonian abstraction guards:122 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

1. Target CI width `0.065` @ confidence `95`
2. Pilot shots `512` expanding to `5083` if variance plateaus
3. Telemetry fields `job_id,device_tz,mitigation_bundle`
4. Stop rule `halt if RB infidelity > 0.002401`
