A farm holding 133 fresh keys thus pays for 133 identities yet owns no seat in the sample, so its answers stall while honest work settles. Because the draw comes from the ember beacon after close, the basalt panel cannot be pre-arranged, and the echo record exposes which witnesses responded. Each epoch a witness set of 12 identities is sampled from the established pool, and a submission must reach at least half of them to settle at all.
