logical $T$ gates in the recent BB architecture paper

I’m reading the recent IBM paper arXiv:2506.03094 and it is unclear on how they complete their logical $T$ gate implementation. In surface codes, each $T$ gate typically requires real-time decoding and a correction operation dependent on the decoder’s output, either applying a logical $S$ gate, or modifying a measurement basis (e.g., as in Litinski’s auto-corrected $π/8$ rotation) if there are sufficient physical resources.

I’m reading the recent IBM paper arXiv:2506.03094 and it is unclear on how they complete their logical
T
𝑇
gate implementation.
In surface codes, each
T
𝑇
gate typically requires real-time decoding and a correction operation dependent on the decoder’s output, either applying a logical
S
𝑆
gate, or modifying a measurement basis (e.g., as in Litinski’s auto-corrected
π/8
π

rotation) if there are sufficient physical resources.
However, this crucial step seems missing or not explicitly described in the paper. My guess is that it could be incorporated into their magic state factory or handled by their “local processing unit” (LPU), but the details aren’t clear. How and where the real-time feedback is used?
Does anyone know how the correction for the logical
T
𝑇
gate is performed in their approach?
