  Citation instructions (QPatLib):
  (A) If you use a specific MBQC pattern from the QPatLib Zenodo community, cite the pattern's Zenodo DOI and Papper.
  (B) If you use QPatLib code/tooling (e.g., circuit generation, pattern generation, validation), cite the QPatLib repository DOI and Paper.
  (C) If you use both a specific pattern and the QPatLib code/tooling, cite the pattern DOI, the QPatLib repository DOI, and Paper.

  QPatLib is a community repository for validated measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) patterns and supporting tooling.
  Code in this repository generates circuits and MBQC patterns locally; patterns are published separately on Zenodo as citable records.
