The bond is keyed to a hardware root, so one device covers one identity, and trust attaches to a completed task rather than an address. A split panel routes the answer to a second, disjoint group for a fresh pass. Under that design a lazy operator registering 500 cheap identities pays 500 devices and 500 finished tasks before the first dawn payout, and every split verdict sends the work back through shale nobody pre-bought. The basalt layer is that second panel, and it does not move.
