| contents | We study square-base Calderbank--Shor--Steane (CSS) hypergraph-product codes as a finite-length class for regular high-girth quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) design. For base matrices of small column weight, we give checkable conditions for regularity, rank deficiency, and short-cycle exclusion, and we present explicit column-weight-three and column-weight-four examples with Tanner girth 6 and 8. We also analyze circulant permutation matrix (CPM) lifts of this class. Using the standard voltage-sum criterion, we identify orthogonality-forced Tanner 8-cycles and show that CPM lifting cannot raise the Tanner girth beyond 8 when these cycles are present. As a representative finite-length instance, a randomized CPM lift of the girth-8 base construction gives a $[[28800,62]]$ girth-8 $(3,6)$-regular CSS-LDPC code. Under degeneracy-aware belief-propagation decoding with optional ordered-statistics-decoding-lite post-processing, this code produced zero decoding failures in $2.993\times 10^8$ independent trials at depolarizing probability $p=0.1402$; the Wilson 95% upper confidence bound is $1.28\times 10^{-8}$. |
