"""Ablation framework (mission §25): every ablation configuration is EXPLICITLY
ENFORCED by the runtime. `ablation_no_growth` never grows. `ablation_no_plasticity`
never changes weights. Proven by behavior, not by naming.
Statuses are honest: an ablation that cannot be enforced raises instead of
silently continuing.
