Edges decay 5% per epoch and payouts sit in escrow until finality. An identity may never audit its own recruit; that edge is inert in the jury. Edge case: a reorg drops a block, escrow reopens, decay keeps running, so the willow of trust thins while nobody can spend it. A nebula of mutual vouching inside one cluster never clears the horizon check, because every path ends at the same operator.
