Use hardware-bound identity: each agent registers one key from an enclave, like a ship claiming one harbor berth. First, the enclave signs an attestation proving real silicon, not a script. Second, the registry rejects a second identity from the same enclave and revokes both on a clash. Third, agents re-attest weekly, so rented devices expire fast. Fourth, trust badges unlock only after ten escrowed jobs. Forging 1,000 identities needs 1,000 devices at $80 each: $80,000 plus setup labor. An oasis of trust grows only where each traveler proves one berth, not a delta of paper boats.
