For clique complexes $X_1\subseteq X_2$, normalized persistence in degree $d$ is $\operatorname{rank}[H_d(X_1)\to H_d(X_2)]/\dim H_d(X_1)$. Estimating it requires exact endpoint homology and the inclusion-induced map, even with inverse-polynomial endpoint Laplacian gaps. We prove that additive-error $1/24$ estimation is hard for $\mathsf{BQP}_{1}^{G_2}$, the perfect-completeness class over the exact gate set $G_2=\{X,\mathsf{CX},\mathsf{CCX},H\otimes H\}$, and hence for $\mathsf{BQP}_{1}$ over every finite gate set with entries in a cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(ζ_{2^k})$, even for unweighted clique complexes. The main tool is a finite-certificate kernel-transfer theorem. For a fixed palette of weighted clique gadgets satisfying finitely many exactly checkable local conditions, every unit chain $x$ of the full geometric complex satisfies $\operatorname{dist}(x,K)^2\le C(tλ^2+\langle x,Δx\rangle/(gλ^{26}))$, where $K$ is the embedded kernel of the simulated projector Hamiltonian, $g$ its gap, $t$ the number of gadgets, and $λ$ the private vertex weight. Since $λ$ is chosen independently of $g$, the geometric Laplacian has exactly $\dim K$ zero modes and a gap linear in $g$ above them. Exact fillings identify the endpoint homology with a quotient $V/W_A$ of the register cycle space, and nested term sets induce the natural quotient epimorphisms, so the persistent rank equals the later kernel dimension without any choice of compatible harmonic representatives. A fixed eight-dimensional label register turns a $\mathsf{BQP}_{1}^{G_2}$ verifier into instances with $β_d(X_1)=8$ and normalized persistence $3/4$ or $1/8$, and an established common-copy blow-up transfers everything to unweighted graphs.
