+# QA Report — 2026-03-24
+
+## Feature Tested
+Extended noise injection — `inject_noise` extended with `Y_ERROR`, `Z_ERROR`, `DEPOLARIZE2` support via proper circuit rewriting (replacing a broken `with_noise()` call + crude fallback).
+
+## Target Server
+Local — Stim version: 1.15.0
+
+## Changes Analyzed
+Branch: `feat/extended-noise-models`
+Files changed:
+- `src/stim_mcp_server/tools/analysis.py` — new `_inject_noise_into_circuit()` helper, updated `inject_noise`
+- `tests/test_server.py` — 5 new test cases
+
+## Test Results
+
+| # | Description | Tool Called | Inputs | Response | Result | Notes |
+|---|-------------|-------------|--------|----------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Connectivity check | `hello_quantum` | `{}` | `{"status": "ok", "stim_version": "1.15.0"}` | PASS | |
+| 2 | X_ERROR on CNOT-only circuit (data qubit noise) | `inject_noise` → `get_circuit_diagram` | `circuit: R 0 1\nCNOT 0 1\nM 0 1`, `noise_type=X_ERROR`, `p=0.3` | Diagram showed no X_ERROR at all | **CRITICAL FAIL** | Root cause found — see Issues |
+| 3 | Surface code X_ERROR at p=0.3 logical error rate | `generate_circuit` → `inject_noise` → `sample_circuit` | `surface_code:rotated_memory_z`, distance=3, rounds=3; X_ERROR p=0.3; 10000 shots | `logical_error_rates: [0.0]` | **CRITICAL FAIL** | Impossible at p=0.3; confirms noise not reaching data qubits |
+| 4 | DEPOLARIZE2 structurally valid | `inject_noise` | Bell circuit, `DEPOLARIZE2`, p=0.01 | `success: true`, new circuit_id | PASS | |
+| 5 | Invalid noise type rejected | `inject_noise` | Bell circuit, `noise_type=INVALID` | `success: false` | PASS | |
+| 6 | X_ERROR on CNOT circuit after fix | `inject_noise` → Python test | CNOT circuit, X_ERROR p=0.3 | `X_ERROR(0.3) 0 1` after CNOT | PASS | Fix verified |
+| 7 | Surface code X_ERROR after fix (unit test) | Python: `_inject_noise_into_circuit` | H+CX circuit | X_ERROR on all gate targets including CX targets | PASS | |
+| 8 | All 42 unit tests | `pytest` | Full suite | 42/42 passed | PASS | |
+
+## Summary
+Total: 8 | Passed: 6 | Failed: 2 (both same root cause, fixed) | Warnings: 0
+
+## Issues Found
+
+### Critical
+- **Single-qubit noise missed data qubits entirely**: `_inject_noise_into_circuit` only inserted single-qubit noise (X_ERROR, Y_ERROR, Z_ERROR, DEPOLARIZE1) after `is_single_qubit_gate` gates. In the surface code, data qubits only participate in 2-qubit CX gates — no single-qubit gates. Result: data qubits received zero noise, logical error rate was always 0.0 at any probability.
+  - **Expected**: X_ERROR at p=0.3 should cause ~50% logical error rate (above threshold by far)
+  - **Actual**: 0.0% logical errors at p=0.3 with 10000 shots
+
+## Fixes Applied
+| Issue | Fix | File | Verified |
+|-------|-----|------|----------|
+| Single-qubit noise skipped 2-qubit gates | Changed condition from `gate_data.is_single_qubit_gate` to `gate_data.is_single_qubit_gate or gate_data.is_two_qubit_gate` for single-qubit noise types | `src/stim_mcp_server/tools/analysis.py:34` | ✅ CNOT circuit now shows `X_ERROR(p) 0 1`; all 42 tests pass |
+
+## Remaining Issues
+None.
+
+## Passed Checks
+- ✅ Server connectivity (Stim 1.15.0)
+- ✅ New noise types (Y_ERROR, Z_ERROR, DEPOLARIZE2) return valid noisy circuit IDs
+- ✅ Invalid noise type returns `success: false`
+- ✅ Noise correctly inserted after single-qubit gates (H)
+- ✅ Noise correctly inserted after two-qubit gates (CX/CNOT) — after fix
+- ✅ DEPOLARIZE2 only inserted after 2-qubit gates (unaffected by fix)
+- ✅ 42/42 unit tests passing after fix
