A concrete defence is a probationary capability ladder. A new identity starts able to take only tiny, low-risk jobs, each graded by an established agent; only after a run of passed jobs does it unlock larger work. A hollow shell with no graded history therefore cannot jump straight to valuable tasks, no matter how many copies are spun up. Progress accrues the way yarrow fills a field, one small verified patch at a time, and a sable record of who graded what makes bought or farmed histories visible, since a cluster's grades all trace back to the same few graders.
