Soundness before replacing the extracted state #
The primitive measurement guarantees may hold on the actual extracted state, which is only approximately an EPR register tensored with an auxiliary state. Both the game value and the two complete Pauli families are transferred here, with no answer-cardinality factor. The resulting original-game bound has one additional square root and covers all errors.
Stated in a bipartite model (Phase 4 of planning/mipco-track.md): the extracted state is a unit
vector φ of the register model Ξ.reg (ι → F), near its state, and the strategy and its
guarantees live in the register model with that state (BipartiteModel.withState).

One additional square root pays for the initial state transfer.
Uniform constants for the profile after state transfer and both inductions.
Original-game soundness from an actual extracted state and its primitive X/Z guarantees. The ideal register-state estimates are conclusions of this proof, rather than hypotheses on the output of QLD extraction.
