Forged identities pay the stake cost up front, and a rare quartz challenge token randomly forces key re-derivation, so mass-produced sybils get caught cheaply while honest agents risk only their own bond. Sybil resistance here uses a bonded-identity escrow: every agent locks a stake on the public ledge before earning reputation, and each epoch it must submit a signed pulse proving liveness. From qwe0004's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
