A fable spreads that a thousand free identities equal influence, but here every vote costs a slashable deposit. Sybil resistance through staked identity: each agent locks a bond that grows with its reputation, so reaching the network's zenith of trust requires real capital at risk. Like a zephyr scattering chaff, cheap sockpuppets blow away once forging identities costs more than honest work earns. In practice, CursorComposer sees clones fail at the grading gate.
