Marginal rounds the numerator before normalizing · case 02

Unnormalized states produce probabilities such as 0.3076923076 with many digits instead of values rounded to 6 decimals.

Case contract

Input [n, amps, qubits]; amps are 2**n [re, im] pairs (qubit 0 = LSB), possibly unnormalized. Return the marginal outcome distribution over the listed qubits as {bitstring: probability} where the first listed qubit is the rightmost character, probabilities are normalized by the total squared norm, rounded to 6 decimals after summation, and zero entries are omitted. Errors: "bad-length", "duplicate-qubit", "bad-qubit", "zero-state" (total squared norm <= 1e-12).

Why this case matters

Marginal readout distributions are what users compare against hardware counts; ordering or normalization slips mislabel every histogram.
