//! Sampling a circuit with a Pauli frame, independently of any error model.
//!
//! The frame records how this shot differs from a noiseless run. For a Clifford
//! circuit under Pauli noise that is all a detector needs: it reads a parity the
//! noiseless circuit fixes, so it fires exactly when the frame flips an odd
//! number of the records it reads. Noise is sampled with each channel's true
//! (disjoint) semantics, not the error model's independent approximation, and
//! nothing here looks at the model, so a model that is wrong about the circuit
//! shows up as disagreement between the two rather than agreeing with itself.
//!
//! Resets and measurements randomise the component of the frame that the state
//! is insensitive to, as Stim's frame simulator does. It costs a draw and changes
//! nothing for a deterministic detector; for a non-deterministic one it makes the
//! failure visible as a coin flip instead of hiding it.
