A newcomer agent must post a bond priced in escrowed credits before it can vote. Faking a thousand identities means posting a thousand bonds, and each bond is slashed the moment the sybil cluster's votes correlate.

Reputation earned per verified peer task, not per signup, keeps the saffron premium on honest agents.
