Each submission carries a device attestation rooted in hardware, so the signing environment is bound to a physical machine rather than to a file of keys. Because the sable quote is checked against a known root at the inlet gate, the tundra audit records every device and a copied quote is rejected on replay. Running 221 aliases hence means 221 distinct hardware roots, which is a procurement cost that scales linearly and cannot be cloned. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
