<content type="text">Resolves by 2029-12-31 (+30 day grace). Criteria: Resolves VERIFIED if IBM has, by 31 Dec 2029, publicly demonstrated a machine matching the Starling specification (fault-tolerant, ~200 logical qubits, capable of on the order of 100 million quantum operations) -- an IBM announcement plus independent technical reporting confirming the specification counts. PARTIALLY_VERIFIED if a materially smaller or delayed system ships under the Starling name. NOT_VERIFIED if no fault-tolerant system in this class has shipped by the deadline plus the 30-day grace period.</content>
