In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 14: In CHANGELOG.md fix the broken contributor reference by replacing the
incorrect label "[**DRovara**]" with the correct label "[**`@DRovara`**]" so it
matches the existing contributor reference definitions; update the line
containing "✨ Add Dead Gate Elimination Pattern ([`#1755`]) ([**DRovara**])" to
use "[**`@DRovara`**]" instead.

In `@mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/QCO/QCOUtils.h`:
- Around line 258-263: The MeasureOp removal currently replaces uses with
m.getQubitIn() and erases the op unconditionally; update the branch handling
MeasureOp so it first checks the measurement's classical-recording fields (e.g.,
register_name, register_size, register_index) and only perform
rewriter.replaceAllUsesWith(m.getQubitOut(), m.getQubitIn()) followed by
rewriter.eraseOp(op) when those fields indicate the measurement is not recorded
(empty/default). If any of register_name/register_size/register_index show the
measurement is recorded, skip the erase (return failure/skip) to preserve the
classical output.

In `@mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Passes.td`:
- Around line 181-183: Fix the typos in the MLIR pass summary string: update the
TD variable 'summary' (let summary = ...) to replace "shiftling" with "shifting"
and ensure there's a space between "as" and "possible" so the concatenated
strings read "as far up as possible, shifting them above...". Edit the two
adjacent string literals so they join correctly and contain the corrected word.
- Around line 184-188: The description string assigned to let description in
mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Passes.td contains a copy-paste error
("lifts measurements gates away from the measurements") likely from
HadamardLifting; update the description to accurately describe this pass's
behavior (measurement lifting as part of qubit reuse: moving/earlier placement
of measurement operations to enable qubit reuse and gate removal), editing the
let description block for the relevant pass (compare with the HadamardLifting
description to avoid repeating its phrasing) so the text clearly states that
measurement lifting moves measurements earlier to free qubits for reuse and
optimize/remove subsequent quantum gates.

In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/QCO/Builder/QCOProgramBuilder.cpp`:
- Around line 1103-1105: The no-arg QCOProgramBuilder::finalize() currently
calls intConstant(0) before running the validation that finalize(Value)
performs, which can create ops or mutate the wrong block if the builder wasn't
initialized or the insertion point isn't main's entry; change
QCOProgramBuilder::finalize() to first validate that 'main' exists and that the
current insertion point is inside main's entry block (reusing the same checks
used by finalize(Value)), and only after those checks succeed call
intConstant(0) and forward to finalize(Value); reference the methods
QCOProgramBuilder::finalize(), QCOProgramBuilder::finalize(Value), and the
helper intConstant to locate where to reorder the work.

In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Optimizations/MeasurementLifting.cpp`:
- Line 44: The free helper functions are currently relying on
anonymous-namespace linkage but should be declared with static linkage per
project convention; change the declarations of the free functions isInverting,
isDiagonal, and swapGateWithMeasurement to be marked static (e.g., static bool
isInverting(...), static bool isDiagonal(...), static Operation*
swapGateWithMeasurement(...)) so they use internal linkage instead of an
anonymous namespace, leaving their bodies and call sites unchanged.
- Line 29: The file includes the unused header <numbers> which should be
removed; edit MeasurementLifting.cpp to delete the line '`#include` <numbers>'
(ensure no other uses of std::numbers remain in functions such as any helpers or
transformations in MeasurementLifting-related functions) so the build has no
superfluous include.
- Line 51: The isDiagonal predicate currently checks for ZOp, SOp, TOp, POp,
RZOp but omits diagonal gate types used in tests; update the isDiagonal function
to also recognize SdgOp, TdgOp, and IdOp so measurements can be lifted over id,
sdg, and tdg gates (i.e., include SdgOp, TdgOp, IdOp alongside the existing
isa<ZOp, SOp, TOp, POp, RZOp> check in the isDiagonal helper).

In `@mlir/unittests/Dialect/QCO/IR/test_qco_ir.cpp`:
- Around line 117-223: Add a new unit test (e.g., in QCOTest alongside
CheckIfOpDeadGateElimination) that creates a measurement with a
recorded/classical name (call builder.measure with the recorded-name overload
like measure("c", 1, 0) or the API that records the result), uses those qubit
outputs and sinks them (so both qubits are later sunk), and constructs a
reference module where the measurement is preserved; then run
verify/runQCOCleanupPipeline on both and assert
areModulesEquivalentWithPermutations(module, refModule). This ensures the
cleanup pass does not eliminate measurements whose classical result is
externally recorded; reference the existing QCOProgramBuilder usage,
builder.measure, builder.qcoIf, and areModulesEquivalentWithPermutations to
locate where to add the test.

In
`@mlir/unittests/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Optimizations/test_qco_measurement_lifting.cpp`:
- Around line 318-342: The isDiagonal predicate in MeasurementLifting.cpp
currently checks only ZOp, SOp, TOp, POp, RZOp, so id, sdg and tdg gates are not
treated as diagonal; update the isDiagonal implementation to also return true
for the identity, sdg and tdg ops (e.g., IdOp, SdgOp, TdgOp or whatever the MLIR
op class names are in your codebase) so MeasurementLifting::lift (and related
code using isDiagonal) will permit lifting measurements over id, sdg and tdg
gates.
- Around line 296-316: The reference test liftMeasurementOverSingleY creates
xorOp but never uses its result, so canonicalization can drop the dead XOR;
update the referenceBuilder finalization to include xorOp's result (e.g.,
convert the xor i1 to i64 like i1ToI64 or otherwise pass it into
referenceBuilder.finalize()) so the XOR is live, and likewise ensure the
programBuilder path passes its measurement result to finalize() so the test
actually verifies the inversion inserted by runMeasurementLiftingPass; modify
usages around xorOp, referenceBuilder.finalize(), and programBuilder.finalize()
accordingly.

In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/QCO/Builder/QCOProgramBuilder.cpp`:
- Around line 1108-1160: The finalize(Value exitCode) overload accepts any Value
but main() is hard-coded to return i64, so add an early runtime/type check in
QCOProgramBuilder::finalize to reject non-i64 exitCode Values (e.g., verify
exitCode.getType() is an IntegerType of width 64 and call
llvm::reportFatalUsageError or similar if not) before creating func::ReturnOp;
also update the QCOProgramBuilder::finalize declaration comment in the header to
document the required i64 exit code and mirror the behavior of initialize()
which sets main's return type to i64.

In `@mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Passes.td`:
- Around line 211-236: Update the measurement lifting description in the pass
definition to document that the X/measurement commutation rule also applies to Y
gates, matching the behavior of isInverting in MeasurementLifting.cpp. Extend
the existing rule’s explanation without changing the implementation or other
documented commutation rules.

In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Optimizations/MeasurementLifting.cpp`:
- Around line 126-129: The doc comment for the measurement-lifting pattern
overstates its scope; revise it to state that the pattern lifts measurements
above inverting (anti-diagonal) gates, specifically X and Y, rather than all
non-phase gates.
- Around line 203-207: Update the MeasurementLifting struct’s Doxygen comment to
remove the duplicated “gates” word, leaving the description as raising
Measurements above controlled and uncontrolled gates.

In
`@mlir/unittests/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Optimizations/test_qco_measurement_lifting.cpp`:
- Around line 419-454: Update the reference circuit in
liftMeasurementOverXAndControlledGates to use referenceBuilder.cy for both
controlled-gate constructions instead of referenceBuilder.cx, preserving the
controlled-Y operations from the program circuit before the equivalence check.

In `@mlir/lib/Dialect/QCO/Builder/QCOProgramBuilder.cpp`:
- Around line 1164-1168: Update QCOProgramBuilder::finalize() to perform the
same main-existence and entry-block insertion-point validation used by
finalize(ValueRange) before calling intConstant(0); preserve the existing
checkFinalized() behavior and then delegate with the created exitCode.

- Around line 205-207: Format the dependentDialects list in the pass definition
by removing the trailing comma after ArithDialect and placing the closing
bracket consistently with the other pass declarations in Passes.td.

In
`@mlir/unittests/Dialect/QCO/Transforms/Optimizations/test_qco_measurement_lifting.cpp`:
- Around line 11-13: Remove the IDE-generated “Created by” comment from the file
header, leaving the surrounding comment structure or file contents unchanged.
- Around line 145-155: Remove the const qualifier from all ValueRange lambda
parameters in the measurement-lifting test, including the callbacks around the
shown programBuilder.ctrl calls and their mirrored reference-builder
occurrences. Keep the lambda captures and callback behavior unchanged, following
the existing non-const Value parameter convention.
