//! Task mask management — per-task neuron/head/layer masks.
//!
//! A mask selects an active subset of the shared weights (weights are
//! never modified — VMF principle: a skill is a regular core of the
//! condensate). Bit order is LSB-first: neuron `i` = bit `i % 8` of
//! byte `i / 8`; bit 1 = active. Tail bits beyond the dimension MUST
//! be zero (otherwise popcount sees phantom neurons/heads).
