Fewest CNOTs for a flagged parity check

Error-correcting codes measure their high-weight checks over and over, and every CNOT of a check circuit is a place where a fault can occur. A cheaper flagged circuit for a weight-w check therefore makes syndrome extraction faster and less noisy for codes such as color codes and quantum LDPC codes.
