Building on and extending the Zero-Photon-Generation (ZPG) framework, we derive closed-form perturbative solutions that capture both ideal (zero-order) and noisy (low-order) gate dynamics conditioned on time-integrated photon counting. Our framework provides analytic solutions to process matrices and Pauli error weights up to leading order, bridging the gap between detailed physical imperfections of a system and its corresponding abstract Pauli noise models. Moreover, our framework captures imperfections across the full physical system stack, from photon generation to optical manipulation. We benchmark the resulting perturbative predictions on a repeat-until-success CZ gate against numerical simulations, demonstrating accurate modeling of source-induced noise, and then apply the same framework to analyze coherent phase-shifter miscalibrations as a representative example of optical-manipulation errors. The methods developed in this work enable physics-informed parameter tuning to optimize gate designs and develop tailored quantum error correction protocols toward fault-tolerant quantum computing using hybrid light--matter quantum systems.
