Tableau CNOT sign rule drops the constant term · case 05

The CNOT sign update fires for generators such as X_c Z_t that should keep their sign, and misses X_c Y_t style cases.

Case contract

Input [n, gates] with gates h, s, x, z (["g", q]) and cx (["cx", c, t]). Track the n stabilizer generators of |0...0> (initially Z on each qubit) under the Aaronson-Gottesman update rules and return them as signed strings such as "+XX", character q describing qubit q.

Why this case matters

Stabilizer simulators verify Clifford circuits and error-correction encoders; a phase-bit rule error yields wrong syndromes.
