Collapse reports unnormalized branch mass as probability · case 05
An input 2|00> + 2|11> reports probability 4 for outcome 0 of qubit 1.
Case contract
Input [n, amps, q, outcome]; measure qubit q (0 = LSB) of the possibly unnormalized state. Return {"probability": p, "state": post} with p normalized by the total squared norm and the post-measurement state renormalized to unit norm with the other branch zeroed; values rounded to 6 decimals. Return "impossible" when p < 1e-12.
Why this case matters
Mid-circuit measurement and collapse drive dynamic circuits; wrong renormalization breaks every later probability.
