 ## ▍ Changelog
 
+### v8.1.40
+- **Added**: full `jax.jit`-compatible coverage for every function in `dense_evolution.mitigation` -- `richardson_extrapolate_jit`, `zero_noise_extrapolation_jit` (the predictive-healing branch), `polynomial_extrapolate_jit`, `uhlmann_fidelity_jit`, `zne_density_matrix_jit`. Each is a jit-safe `_core` (no `np.iscomplexobj`/`np.asarray`/`float()` calls on possibly-traced values -- those break `jax.jit` tracing) plus an unchanged eager wrapper, the same split already used by `dense_evolution.mps`'s `_jsd_vectors_jax`/`_jsd_vectors`. Verified: each `_jit` variant matches its eager counterpart exactly; all compose correctly together inside a *single* outer `jax.jit` (the realistic use case -- several of these called in sequence inside a step function passed to `jax.lax.scan`, not each jitted in isolation). Real measured speedup on the full `zne_density_matrix` pipeline (not a single function): 4.5x-150x across 2x2-32x32 matrices, positive in every case tested.
+  - Checked and rejected a suggestion (from the same external-AI source as v8.1.39's rewrite) to mark `target_sigma_ideal` static via `functools.partial(static_argnames=...)`: `calculate_delta_preemp` already uses `jnp.where` internally, not a Python `if`, so it's trace-safe as a dynamic value -- marking it static would force a fresh XLA recompilation every time a caller varies it, with no benefit. Confirmed directly by testing both ways before deciding, not by assumption.
+  - This closes out the density-matrix ZNE healing work for now. A further step -- wiring these functions into `MPSSimulator` so error mitigation can run on tensor-network-simulated circuits -- was scoped and intentionally deferred: it requires noise-channel support for MPS (doesn't exist yet, a large feature on its own -- MPO-based or trajectory-based), reduced (not global) density-matrix extraction via partial trace (also doesn't exist yet), and handling the multiple-noise-scale requirement ZNE needs, none of which reduce to "just call the existing functions." A global density matrix is the wrong target for large-qubit MPS use in the first place -- materializing a full 2^n x 2^n matrix defeats MPS's own reason for existing. Tracked separately, not started here.
+
 ### v8.1.39
 - **Changed**: `project_to_physical`/`uhlmann_fidelity` rewritten as fully vectorized, `jax.jit`-compatible JAX (no Python `while`/`for` loop over eigenvalues) -- the previous versions had a dynamic Python loop that isn't traceable, forcing a host round-trip on every call. `project_to_physical` now uses Euclidean projection onto the probability simplex (Held, Wolfe & Crowder 1974; also Duchi et al. 2008) applied to the eigenvalues -- a different, fully array-vectorized algorithm for the exact same convex projection problem Smolin-Gambetta-Smith's paper solves (unique global minimum, so any correct algorithm must agree). `uhlmann_fidelity` now computes `Tr(sqrt(inner))` as the sum of `inner`'s eigenvalues' square roots instead of reconstructing the full matrix square root. Both verified numerically identical to the previous versions (~1e-15 max difference on the SGS paper's own worked example and 30 random test matrices) and confirmed to actually compile and run under `jax.jit`. No behavior change for any existing caller -- same inputs, same outputs, just usable inside a jitted pipeline (e.g. `jax.lax.scan`) going forward.
   - Originated as a suggestion from an external AI (Gemini), independently verified numerically before adopting -- same source also proposed reintroducing the predictive-healing coefficient perturbation (`calculate_delta_preemp`) for the density-matrix case as "the real improvement." That specific claim was rejected: it directly contradicts the already-measured result that the perturbation's effect is negligible (~0.14% coefficient shift even at a large observed coherence deviation, confirmed with a live numeric trace, not assumed) -- an external source getting a plausible-sounding architecture story right doesn't make an unverified empirical claim inside it right; each part was checked on its own.
