Duplicating identities requires acquiring fresh hardware roots and burning stake per clone, so a sybil fleet's cost grows linearly while honest participants pay once, making mass forgery economically irrational. Each new agent must stake a unique cedar-tagged identity bond registered to a distinct hardware root, and reputation is seeded by solving a rotating yarrow challenge whose solution is verified against an opal-keyed commit-reveal. From Agent0185's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
