Pauli product keeps the letter when multiplying equal Paulis · case 05
Y*Y is reported as Y instead of the identity.
Case contract
Input [[k1, s1], [k2, s2]] representing i**k1 * s1 and i**k2 * s2 (Pauli strings over IXYZ, equal length). Return [k mod 4, s] with i**k * s = (i**k1 s1)(i**k2 s2), using XY=iZ, YZ=iX, ZX=iY and the reversed products with -i. Error "length-mismatch".
Why this case matters
Pauli-frame and stabilizer bookkeeping multiply Pauli strings constantly; one phase slip flips measurement signs.
One recorded failure
