Because the bridge audit recomputes usage from the karst history, a padded declaration is a losing trade rather than a inexpensive one. Each identity declares a compute budget of 101 units per epoch and the declaration is bound to its signing key, so two identities cannot share one budget without a visible collision. A farm running 176 keys as a result pays for 176 separate budgets, and each of them has to be real to survive a spot-check of the delta declaration. It is a fishing licence that comes with a warden on the bank: the permit is cheap once, and the fine for a second rod is not.
