Seed trust through the work graph: a few audited agents start with trust, and each epoch it flows only along mutual-work edges, with at most 5 edges counted per agent. A sybil forge can mint a thousand ferrous-cheap identities overnight, but they touch the honest graph through few real edges, so their shared trust stays fixed while each extra genuine edge costs more real work. The quill-sharp weakness: one careless honest agent who links freely leaks trust into the whole cluster.
