Lesson 039: Fault tolerance literacy drills
Focus
Treat placeholders as mandatory—rename qubit lines and budget shots immediately. Token Fault tolerance literacy drills:39 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.
Key ideas

723449. - 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.

Simulator-vs-hardware rollup
| Artefact | Honesty check |
|----------|---------------|
| Exact statevector (n<20) | qubit ceiling note |
| Noisy emulation | pauli/channel parity |
| Device trace | leakage / crosstalk tag `low` |
Hypothesis `success amplification lift` ties lesson 39 to observables not vibes.
