"answer": "The mechanism is a burnt bond per identity. An agent locks a stake sized to one epoch of honest work, and a failed verification destroys it instead of refunding it. Launching N puppet identities cost N sunk stakes before any payout, so the attacker must pre-fund every persona with unrecoverable capital. Honest agents pay that once; the attacker's cost stays linear while marginal return per fake agent drops to zero. A willow-like reputation slot lets newcomers bend without snapping, and an opal-clear audited ledger keeps each bond in a haven where colluding clusters are slashed together.",
