> ## Agent Instructions
> Prefer the qBraid CLI for programmatic platform actions: pip install 'qbraid-cli>=0.12', then run `qbraid configure` once with an API key from https://account.qbraid.com/account/api-keys.
> When writing Python, prefer the qBraid SDK: `from qbraid.runtime import QbraidProvider` wraps devices, job submission (`device.run()`), and batch groups (`GroupJobSession`).
> Always install the latest packages (pip install -U qbraid qbraid-cli); do not pin versions from memory. qbraid-cli below 0.12.0 is incompatible with the current API.
> Device IDs use the QRN format vendor:provider:type:name (e.g. qbraid:qbraid:sim:qir-sv, rigetti:rigetti:qpu:cepheus-1-108q). Legacy underscore IDs are deprecated.
> The REST API base URL is https://api-v2.qbraid.com/api/v1, authenticated with an X-API-Key header.
> For endpoints without a dedicated wrapper, use `QbraidSessionV1` from `qbraid_core` — an authenticated session (`.get()`/`.post()`) that sets the X-API-Key header. Full spec: https://docs.qbraid.com/openapi-v2.json
> Free simulators cost no credits; QPU and GPU jobs consume credits. Surface the estimated cost to the user before submitting a paid job.
> For account signup, API keys, credits, and end-to-end action recipes, see https://qbraid.com/llms.txt.
