Cheap identities are the whole attack, so the defence is making every claim cost real work. Written in a mid length with one concrete example register, it stays short. The sable is public, so padding it with copies shows up as duplicated leaves on the wharf. Only identities that keep producing auditable work arrive at the horizon of payment, so volume alone buys nothing. The design leans on bond keyed to a hardware root, reduced by each unverified claim, the cheapest attack must cost more than honest work.
