- open_provider: the open provider protocol, wai.quantum.provider/1, over
HTTP (curl, a credential only over https or to this machine) or a local
process (one JSON line each way, the credential in its environment);
a program travels in the device's gates with every angle an exact
dyadic fraction of a turn, and its OpenQASM 3 beside it.
- reference: the protocol around the exact simulator, served both ways
(wai-qpu reference --stdio | --http ADDR): the provider the tests run
against, and the template to copy. Free, or priced per shot or job in
exact decimals; polls, readout error and a credential checked by hash.
- conformance: the checker and its vectors (conformance/provider-v1.json),
with the reference's counts pinned; jobs run only when free or allowed.
- registry: the person's list in their configuration directory, holding
no credential; credentials in the keychain (the system security tool,
or secret-tool), else a 0600 file, and every listing says which.
- job: the dry run (exact native compile, the check by simulation, the
provider's estimate and billing unit), the refusal of a run that is not
free until it is confirmed, and the seal of its counts by the engine.
- Provider gains details, estimate, a seeded submit and cancel, with
defaults, so the three built-in clients keep working unchanged.
CI: the QPU workflow pins the three test binaries' counts and the new
tests by name, and a macOS leg runs the keychain test in its own
keychain file.
