  "note": "Each final state is a 2-component complex qubit state. Apply the inverse gates in REVERSE order to recover the initial state. For each recovered initial state (which should be purely real), recover the angle via theta = 2 * atan2(amp1, amp0), then map to letter via round(theta * 26 / (2pi)) -> chr(65 + idx). Gate inverses: H=H, X=X, Y=Y, Z=Z, S^-1=[[1,0],[0,-i]], T^-1=[[1,0],[0,e^-i*pi/4]]",
