The actual sampling outcomes and their ideal prefix readouts #
All maps retain a dummy outcome for malformed answers. Coarse-graining the ideal computational-basis measurement gives exactly the prefix measurement used by the hiding induction, on the full ambient outcome alphabet.
Stated in a bipartite model (Phase 4 of planning/mipco-track.md): nothing here involves a state,
so the translation is of the operators. A measurement is a POVM in any ordered ⋆-ring (a
player's algebra; in the register model Ξ.reg (ι → F), the matrices over ι → F with entries in
Ξ's algebras), coarse-graining is fibSumIn, and the ideal Z readout and the hiding prefix,
honest register operators over ℂ, stay concrete and enter the matrices over any algebra as
smulKron 1, through which coarse-graining passes (fibSumIn_smulKron_one). The coarse-graining
of a readout (fibSum_readout) is an identity of complex register matrices and is unchanged.
Coarse-graining a computational readout reads the composite function.

The actual reversed Z/Sample edge compares the sampled seed with Bob's projected Pauli answer; wrong constructors cannot be accepted.
The actual Sample/Introspect edge preserves every CL prefix, with no assumption that the claimed question is already in the CL image.
Processing the actual sampled seed produces the actual sampled-prefix POVM, for a POVM in any
ordered ⋆-ring.
The same processing of ideal Z projectors is precisely the hiding prefix,
including its zero malformed outcome and every impossible ambient prefix. Both are honest
register operators, embedded as smulKron 1 in the matrices over any algebra.
