Decision: accept
Classification (automatic): Programming Languages (cs.PL); Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

Accept.

## Remarks

- Requirement 9: “SDKs,” “authoritative syntax,” “record-independent cleanup,” and “realization predicates” appear without definitions. The terms “nontrivial algorithm,” “complete algorithm proofs,” “complete named algorithms,” and “complete-algorithm coverage” also lack criteria, although they determine comparative classifications.
- Requirement 12, passive voice: “Approximation bounds and physical-noise models are reported separately” and “no qualifying claim was located” omit the actor.
- Requirement 12, metaphor: “correctness argument passes through a proof assistant,” “Why3 automation reach complete named algorithms,” “pass through SQIR,” and “fall outside QBlue’s stated simulation goal” use figurative language where literal descriptions exist.
- Requirement 12, agency: “QWIRE publishes no syntax-derived resource layer,” “VQ publishes only an internal evaluator and judge interface,” and “the public QBlue artifact ... publish[es] no checked external translation” assign publication to software or an artifact rather than authors or maintainers.
- Requirement 12, vague quantifiers: “small circuit equations,” “specific low-resource ... construction,” “a broad program suite,” and “a low-resource ECDLP audit” give qualitative size claims where the cited artifacts supply a count or resource measure.
- Requirement 12, redundancy: “no recent public evidence ... says nothing about private work” repeats “A project with no recent public evidence may still pursue its documented goals outside the inspected public sources.”
- Requirement 12, headings: “Circuit semantics and compiler proofs divide QWIRE, SQIR, and Qbricks” and “Three system groups provide complementary checked coverage” do not identify the specific comparative results established in their sections.
