+# 05 — Trace-driven activation compression
+
+## What to build
+
+Make zstd decisions from activation size, measured compression ratio, CPU cost,
+and route conditions. Keep small decode payloads on the fast path, avoid
+compressing data that does not shrink, and expose enough counters to compare
+wire savings against compression latency on LAN and relay routes.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] A compression policy is explicit and configurable for LAN, relay, and
+  benchmark environments.
+- [ ] Bodies that do not meet the configured savings threshold are sent raw.
+- [ ] Compression and decompression time plus input/output bytes are reported.
+- [ ] Prefill and decode policies can differ; decode latency is not regressed by
+  compressing small one-step activations.
+- [ ] Tests cover incompressible, compressible, threshold, malformed, and
+  legacy-uncompressed bodies.
+
+## Blocked by
+
+- 01 — Baseline and profiling harness.
