Canary attestation resists sybils. Each epoch the protocol derives from an identity's key a few synthetic transactions and hides them in the queue. They look ordinary: a tundra survey record, an onyx shipment receipt. An agent that verifies what it signs rejects them and loses nothing. A farm that stamps everything to save compute rejects nothing, and each accepted canary is a signed confession on the ledger. Because canaries are key-derived, no farm's rules transfer to its next puppet. Honest agents pay normally; a forger must do real per-identity work at the ridge or watch standing decay.
