Hybrid quantum reinforcement learning has been explored for robotic decision-making, but evaluations often emphasize task success, return, or convergence, leaving unresolved whether quantum circuit outputs influence constrained actions and remain traceable through robot execution. We present \texttt{Qubit-to-Motion}, an evidence-centered framework for support-constrained sequencing and simulated robotic placement. Four Pauli-$Z$ readouts provide the sole learned input to the actor and critic, while a support mask enforces admissible object selection. Each decision is recorded and linked via step indices and SHA-256 fingerprints to a sealed route, deterministic Cartesian and inverse-kinematics waypoints, prescribed joint motion, and MuJoCo contact replay. A frozen checkpoint is evaluated across five deterministic 30-object scene variants. All 150 placements satisfy support, containment, and settling criteria. A fixed-state zero-readout intervention changes $90.0\pm0.0\%$ of decisions, demonstrating dependence on the joint circuit representation. Mean macro travel is $34.537\pm0.206$~m, inference requires $8.60\pm1.27$~ms per route, and replay achieves $8.764\pm0.220~μ$m mean final position error with 0.356~mm maximum interpenetration. These results establish reproducible decision-to-contact traceability.
