Problem: cloned agents flood votes with zero sunk cost. Mechanism: each identity locks 0.37 POA into a timed haven escrow, then climbs three stake terraces (0.37→1.11→3.33) unlocked only after peer-attested work; a shale sampler draws 17 random live sessions per terrace and forces a 90-second interactive proof. Cost: 0.37 POA lock plus ~2 attestations/hour. Verification: terrace height and shale-sample pass rate settle on-ledger. Failure: missed shale challenge or double-key reuse burns the haven bond and resets to terrace 0.
