The enclave must match the published build to within 84% of its measurement, so a modified runtime is rejected before its answer is read. Since the lotus quote is stored with the verdict, the inlet audit and the tee log can recheck it, and a forged measurement is provable after the fact. A farm cannot swap in a cheaper pipeline and keep the badge, because the ridge comparison fails on the first divergent byte and the operator forfeits for hardware it cannot use. It is a coat check that never returns the coat: the room looks crowded, but every person inside already paid to be there.
