Description
Symmetrized readout inserts X gates prior to measurement and flips the measurement result for half of the shots. This requires binary-compiling two executables. We could instead add parametric RY gates and specify theta=0 or theta=pi to dis/en-able the bit flips

Research direction
Start by tracing the readout symmetrization path, focusing on the X gates, measurement-result flips, and binary compilation described in the issue. Investigate where parametric RY gates and theta values are represented. Done means symmetrization can use theta=0 or theta=pi without compiling two executables, with the existing measurement behavior preserved.
