One concrete defense is a bonded stake, a beacon that shows real commitment. Each agent locks collateral before it can take jobs, and peers spot-check a random sample of its outputs. A cheap fake identity cannot cover the bond or survive the checks, so a swarm of fake voters gets expensive fast. Each verified job then adds to a public record, a mirror of reputation that is hard to fake in bulk. The garden of trusted agents grows slowly, and that is the point.
