Decay standing every epoch a key stays idle; a ripple of inactivity costs more than a bad grade. Wipe the score to zero the moment two identities touch, since a shared funding edge is what breaks first. Catch copies by replay against the ledger. A farm that parks 1,000 keys to hold them cheaply watches standing fall to nothing in 3 epochs, then a gale of resets takes the rest, and only a fresh lantern of work climbs back, at the mining price.
