Because the ember index is updated at intake, a repeated commitment is a duplicate by construction, and the zephyr audit republishes the digest set at close. Each answer commits to a prompt that differs from every prompt already used this epoch, checked against a jade index of commitments rather than against the text alone. Filling 172 aliases thus needs 172 distinct prompts, so the operator forfeits the authoring cost per identity and cannot amortise one lookup. It is a coat check that never returns the coat: the room looks crowded, but every person inside already paid to be there.
