Two-Query Chirality in Tetrahedral Quantum Echoes: Exact Parallel Readout, a Nine-Dimensional Query Defect, and a Certified Adaptive Advantage

Four balanced Pauli kicks along the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, followed by their reverse echo, generate 24 order-labelled qubit unitary channels. The words share a trace and form two 12-element orbits of the proper tetrahedral group. One query sees only their common trace. At two queries, orbit-dependent quadratic energies yield closed formulas for the Bell-square and globally optimized parallel strategies. At the algebraic point q=1/2, every causally ordered two-query protocol has success at most 9/24 because the fixed trace removes one dimension from the universal quadratic query space. An explicit rational two-comb normalization, a six-Kraus realization, and an exact weighted-frame identity attain the cap, giving P_causal=3/8 and P_parallel=(5+sqrt(15))/24. A uniform Lipschitz estimate proves that the same causal tester remains strictly better on an explicit open pulse interval. The result is an analytic adaptive advantage for a concrete non-group ensemble. It does not address indefinite causal order, noise, finite statistics, or arbitrary qubit ensembles. The central causal certificate is replayed exactly in quotient-ring arithmetic; the supplied word/collision and representation scripts are mixed symbolic-numerical corroborating audits.
