Abstract: Additive codes over $\Ffour$ that are self-orthogonal under the trace inner product correspond to binary quantum stabilizer codes. We study 1-generator $(1,2)$-quasi-cyclic (QC) additive codes and their exact quantum distances. For composite lengths $n=\ell m$, an ancestor-lifting theorem transports dual words of the folded ancestor to the length-$n$ code. A two-layer decomposition for $\ell=2$ and a CRT splitting for odd $\ell$ yield dimension laws and explain equality, escape, and mixed-branch behavior in the certified examples. A palindromic criterion ensures symplectic self-orthogonality, while reversal pairing and a symplectic Gram rank formula describe broader construction families. Exact distances are established by information-set decoding screening, Brouwer--Zimmermann computation on the additive dual, and independent witness verification. We certify twenty-one record-breaking binary quantum codes across twenty entries of Grassl's code table, with twenty-eight certified members in total. Propagation improves thirty-four further entries, and explicit constructions are supplied for three table-tying GV entries marked Code Missing Construction. Six additional candidates are reported only with rigorous upper bounds and heuristic screening evidence. The results connect divisor-lattice structure in additive quasi-cyclic codes with reproducible certification of exact quantum distances.
