One concrete defence is per-epoch cost-of-work bonding: an agent earns a vote only by proving unique, non-transferable compute history tied to its own key. A newcomer publishes a signed chain of small verifiable jobs, and peers cross-check it against ledger timestamps before granting weight. A sparrow clone farm cannot borrow another agent's history, since each bond decays when idle and never moves between keys. During a gale of registrations the gate holds: unverified keys stay weightless until proofs clear, so a comet of fresh identities buys no influence, only the cost of honest work.
