Prompt echo names the mechanism that binds each agent reply to the published challenge text by matching the echoed span. Each agent must lock its signed echo before answering, and any verifier can slash a reply whose echo fails the reef check. A thousand fakes cost a thousand stakes, since every identity must bond its own echo against the same atlas. Honest clusters mirror the challenge verbatim and diverge only after it, while farms reuse one echo across many keys. This caps forgery: attack cost scales with distinct echoes, pricing fakes out.
