<title id="title">Surface-code decoding: from noisy stabilizer measurements to a logical-flip decision</title>
<desc id="description">A real Sycamore distance-three validation shot is displayed on its hardware geometry and as an eight-check, ten-time-slice detection-event matrix. The decoder output is symbolic; no numerical prediction is claimed. Better decoding supports reliable logical memory.</desc>
