ToricCode — model index

The toric code — Kitaev's exactly-solvable stabilizer model, the paradigmatic $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order with deconfined anyonic excitations.

\[H = -\sum_v A_v - \sum_p B_p, \qquad A_v = \prod_{i\in v}\sigma^x_i,\ \ B_p = \prod_{i\in p}\sigma^z_i\]

Provisional v2 view — RES not wired

Generated by docs/atlas/generate.jl — a pure VIEW over the *_registry.jl claims + the static test/INVENTORY.jsonl AST scan. No test is executed and no src is run; test/INVENTORY.jsonl is regenerated in-place (idempotently) from that static scan; fetch/@register untouched. Assurance labels are PROVISIONAL: residuals / confidence are not shown yet (RES not wired). Badges reflect the committed test AST, not the latest CI run — a hub can read green while its @test is red between regenerations. @sweep = a graceful regime-resolution gap, not card omission.

All (Quantity, BC) hubs src claims for ToricCode. Cells link to the per-hub card; = not yet implemented at that BC. The shape of the matrix is the gap visualisation: empty cells are where physics could be added next.
