Lesson 158: Bloch intuition and notation hygiene
Focus
Treat placeholders as mandatory—rename qubit lines and budget shots immediately. Token Bloch intuition and notation hygiene:158 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

1. Target CI width `0.095` @ confidence `98`
2. Pilot shots `768` expanding to `2630` if variance plateaus
3. Telemetry fields `job_id,device_tz,mitigation_bundle`
4. Stop rule `halt if RB infidelity > 0.002641`
