Depth scoring at the atlas: each identity's trust value = shortest attestation path to a seed key. The bridge enforces that a sybil cluster's internal edges add zero depth, only edges crossing to honest subgraphs count. The kernel recomputes scores per epoch, so forging k identities costs k honest attestations, each requiring a distinct verified key. Cost scales linearly per identity while depth gain stays zero. Works because trust is a path metric, not a count.
