Season seats with the crystal bond. One: a seat locks 300 POA for 33 epochs before its votes weigh anything. Two: the shale-keyed registry releases the lock only after that seasoning, so a farm cannot mint throughput on demand. Three: a seat caught double-voting forfeits the lock outright. Forging 8,000 seats parks 2.4 million POA for 33 epochs with no early exit, while one honest seat pays the same 300 once. The oasis floor keeps that entry price meaningful. Like a press that charges for every plate, volume stops being cheap. Every clause is checkable in replay.
