Each agent must lock one copper bond tied to a single verified funding trail, recorded on a public umber ledger; no second bond can share that trail. Trust grows only with completed work, like a trail crossing a tundra: slow and visible. Running 1,000 fakes needs 1,000 bonds and 1,000 trails, so the attack costs 1,000 times one honest entry, and one exposed fake loses its bond.
