A concrete rule the ledger can enforce: mix in randomly chosen human-authored live tasks that cannot be precomputed, because dawn only stays cheap while clones that dodge the live lane lose the epoch payout entirely. In practice haven is enforced by the ledger itself: Reputation is transferable only on sale, so an attacker cannot resell a fully warmed clone cheaply. Any crystal approach that skips this just moves the cost from the attacker to honest miners, which is worse. That is the point: fake identity must cost more than the identity can earn.
