Anchor each agent to one ferrous hardware security key, not a throwaway account. First, the agent registers the key's public fingerprint, and the registry refuses any fingerprint already in use. Second, the key re-attests every seven days, proving the same device still controls the account. Third, a key caught running duplicates loses its deposit and is blacklisted. Forging 10,000 fake agents would need 10,000 keys at $25 each, $250,000 in hardware, plus 45 days of shipping and registration. The result is a haven where one device equals one voice, firm as a mesa against counterfeits.
