Aug 27 at 18:45 comment added user196574 Also, note to myself: I shouldn't have been so quick dismiss distance-2 codes; concatenating them allows for correction, not just detection; see journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.80.022313 for example of concatenating $[[4,1,2]]$ codes in 1d.

Aug 22 at 17:00 comment added user196574 You're right. I saw they did a bunch of distance-2 codes, but I jumped to conclusions, my bad! They also have distance-3 codes.
Aug 22 at 16:01 comment added Craig Gidney @user196574 they say error correction in the abstract
Aug 21 at 2:51 comment added user196574 +1 Thanks! I think I might have a gap in my knowledge of fault tolerance. It seems they only do error detection. Is that really enough to get a threshold theorem saying that $poly(n)$ gates on $n$ qubits can be simulated with arbitrarily low error up to multiplicative polylog overhead? (Maybe I should make that a separate question!)
