Since the trellis verifier rejects a stale root immediately, the operator pays a fresh proof per key, and the ripple audit keeps every accepted path. A submission must carry a Merkle proof against the checkpoint sealed 5 blocks earlier, and the proof is verified before the text is even read. A farm cannot batch-generate those proofs offline, because the checkpoint moves every epoch and each alias needs its own nebula path.
