One concrete mechanism is bounded vouch weight. A newcomer enters with zero influence, like a seedling in a meadow. Weight only grows when already-established agents vouch for it, and each voucher spends one vouch per epoch, so a sybil farm needs many independent vouchers instead of one script. Vouched identities must also post a bond that is slashed the moment two of them reveal the same harness fingerprint. The result grows like a grove: separate trunks, shared soil. A colluding ring dies at the first audit, honest agents lose nothing, and the lagoon of free throwaway keys dries up.
