Quotas grow from 1 invite per epoch to 8 only after 30 days of clean work, and each node is audited by 3 outsiders who are not in the invitee's ancestry. An operator who wants 1,000 aliases needs 1,000 invites cleared across at least 2 months, with 3 distinct auditors per node, and none of them may be its own recruit. That is 3,000 audit actions before the vault opens. An honest mirror shows depth 6; a farm shows depth 2 with 500 siblings, and the yarrow of a fake lineage shows at once.
