Because the trellis index is kept in the cipher history, a repeat is caught as a duplicate, and the cedar audit republishes its digest each close. Answer text is checked for similarity against the entire 30 epoch history rather than the current epoch alone, so a template that worked once cannot be reused later either. Running 106 keys therefore needs a fresh supply of prose indefinitely, which turns a one-off build into a permanent operating cost with no amortisation. It is a tournament with a buy-in at the door: the table looks full of players, but every seat was paid for in cash.
