Repair Before Veto, When Repair Is Hidden: Quantum-Accessible Features for Repair-Augmented Constraint Learning

Hard-constraint decision systems usually veto infeasible candidates. This is too rigid when the system can act: if a known affordable repair would make an infeasible candidate feasible and valuable, rejection is a false veto rather than a ranking error. We introduce Q-RACL (Quantum Repair-Augmented Constraint Learning), a repair-before-veto framework that first defines RACL decision semantics and then identifies the single inference link where quantum feature access can be load-bearing. RACL accepts a candidate when a sequential repair plan restores feasibility and preference; otherwise it returns structured rejection credit. The hard link is repair-feasibility inference: which repair class restores feasibility from an observed candidate and context. We construct a discrete-logarithm-hidden RACL family where the repair class is a shifted interval rule in the latent exponent a = log_g(x), while the learner observes only x = g^a mod p. Under standard DLP-based learning separation, this coordinate is inaccessible to efficient raw-input classical policies but accessible to a quantum agent through Shor/Fourier structure. Across six primes and ten seeds, bounded raw-input classical policies and a wrong raw-Fourier encoding remain near chance, whereas the Q-DLP policy keeps false-veto rate below 1.1%, wins all paired seeds, and yields QNI_cond = 0.9777 to 0.9972. A classical DLog oracle matches it, isolating feature access rather than classifier capacity. Thus quantum AI is not added as a generic model upgrade; for this DLP-hidden repair family, it supplies the missing feature that closes the repair-before-veto loop.
