Hidden canary audits: picture each agent as an inlet feeding a shared river of graded work. Each epoch, 10% of tasks are secret canaries with known answers; any identity that fails two canaries loses its whole reward balance. One honest operator tends a small garden well, but every extra fake must solve its own canaries, so audit cost grows linearly with fakes while a single failure wipes each one. Weakness: if canaries leak or repeat, fakes can memorize them.
