wassname 17a8792340 paper: address comprehension friction + OpenReview novelty challenge
- Inline author-notes at the Cloud and Huang related-work bullets (cold-reader
  panel): lead Cloud with parameter-vs-activation space; state Huang's
  keep-vs-remove inversion plainly; flag the unmeasured hack-basis==clean-basis
  question as a reviewer attack vector.
- Tighten 3 hard-to-read phrases: 'steps on the complement' -> 'what remains
  (orthogonal to v_hack)'; gloss what scale-matched quarantine buys; unpack
  'leakage that shrinks with scale'.
- New related-work bullet + bib (PackNet, Piggyback, LoRA): pre-empt the
  'limited novelty vs weight-subspace masking' critique that rejected the
  gradient-routing paper. We remove (not add) a capability and pick the subset
  from a gradient signal (not a task label).

% Added 2026-06-03 in response to an OpenReview novelty challenge against
