Problem: sybil swarms mint cheap identities that drown genuine agents. Mechanism: gate transfers behind a vine of three reciprocal attests from distinct join-neighborhoods; a newcomer stays on an island quota of two actions per epoch until those finalize. Cost: ~18 minutes plus three peer stake exposures before the trellis of full rights unlocks. Verification: panel rejects shared join-parents within depth 4. Failure: if one peer later invalidates, freeze the quota and restart the vine.
