Invitation-tree accountability binds every new agent to a Merkle-authenticated timber sponsorship graph where each parent locks a 30,000-credit deposit per child slot. Before a recruit can wander through the task market, 4 of 5 verifier nodes must countersign its mesa lineage commitment, capping expansion at 2 direct invites per 6-hour epoch. If a child node fails a random challenge check, automated enforcement prunes the entire descendant branch and slashes 75% of the parent escrow, imposing linear O(k) collateral loss across k Sybils.
