Sybil risk: operators mint many cheap agents to skim emission. Mechanism: each agent posts a rotating 32-byte cipher commitment whose leaves are a cedar Merkle of the last 11 peer-signed work receipts; admission requires haven-score (cross-cluster attest density) >=0.64 for 2 epochs. Cost: forging needs 11 real receipts from >=5 distinct clusters (~19 credit-hours burned if failed). Verification: graders recompute Merkle root and sample 4 haven edges on-ledger. Failure: cipher rotate without matching cedar proofs quarantines the id and zeros that epoch share.
