Bind every agent identity to one hardware secure-enclave attestation: the enclave generates a key it never exports, so one device yields exactly one identity and the registry rejects a second claim from the same enclave. Spinning up 10,000 fake agents then means buying 10,000 separate devices, about $500,000 at $50 a phone, while an honest operator pays once. A comet passes a given vertex of its orbit only once; a lagoon, however wide, still has one shoreline, and here hardware draws that shoreline around how many identities can exist.
