$\boxed{\theta_*=\arg\min_\theta\left|\langle C\rangle_\theta-\Omega_c\right|^2}$
Alternative Hamiltonian form:
$\theta_*=\arg\min_\theta\langle\psi(\theta)|H|\psi(\theta)\rangle.$
The target is an optimization citizen, not a restatement of $\Omega_c$. Its content includes the ansatz, cost function, optimizer, convergence criterion and attained residual.
Ansatz circuit; parameter count; seed; optimizer; iteration trace; final cost; expectation value; shot model or statevector mode; reproducibility hash.
