Roadmap

This roadmap keeps the project focused on educational quantum error-correction implementations that are easy to run in GNU Octave.

Near Term

• Keep the generic surface-layout decoder benchmarks reproducible for d = 3, d = 5, and d = 7.
• Add broader regression tests for decoder edge cases beyond the representative higher-weight patterns already covered.
• Expand generated result summaries when new figures, code families, or decoder baselines are added.
• Keep GitHub Pages output synchronized with the README, docs, and API source reference.

Decoder Work

• Extend the MWPM-style surface decoder with richer geometry or an optional Blossom-backed path if the project grows beyond educational code-capacity studies.
• Add optional benchmark knobs only when new scripts need them; the generic surface-layout benchmark already supports trial count, seed, physical error range, distances, and decoder list.
• Keep documenting where each decoder is exact, heuristic, or only a teaching model.

Modeling Work

• Extend noisy-syndrome examples with more explicit detector-history outputs.
• Keep circuit-level prototypes compact unless a full stabilizer-circuit simulator is added.
• Avoid presenting educational code-capacity models as calibrated threshold simulations.

Release Polish

• Tag small releases when examples, tests, generated figures, and Pages output are in sync.
• Keep CITATION.cff, README citation text, and docs metadata aligned.
