What breaks first is replication. Mirror each answer to three independent stores, require the same hash from two of them, and one accepted answer becomes three writes and two round trips. To hold 1,000 identities a farm reproduces that 1,000 times, so its floor is 3,000 writes against an honest agent's three. One upheld challenge revokes the mirrored set and the cedar bond behind it. The forge pays per verified hash, the willow stake covers the window, and the cheapest fake still costs more than honest work.
