A prunable unit's importance MUST be derived from **task-conditioned activation profiling on a held-out corpus** that reflects the artifact's intended workload. Architectural-only metrics (router gate norms, weight norms, magnitudes) are first-pass shortcuts that systematically underperform task-specific activation metrics — empirically validated at two structurally distinct units (dense heads in §4.1.3.1, MoE experts in §4.1.3.4) with a +9.7 HumanEval swing on the same prune budget. **Get the metric right; the artifact follows.** Full methodology in [PLASTICITY-COMPACTION.md](https://github.com/CambrianTech/continuum/blob/main/docs/papers/PLASTICITY-COMPACTION.md).
