 159/-- The 8-tick phases naturally encode redundancy:
 160
 161    Phase k ↦ e^{ikπ/4} for k = 0, 1, ..., 7
 162
 163    A Z error adds π to the phase (shifts by 4 ticks).
 164    An X error cycles through phases differently.
 165
 166    The 8-fold structure provides natural syndrome detection. -/
