Track FF: Witness Network Formation Attacks (Attacks 287-292)

Attacks on the formation, evolution, and manipulation of witness networks.
Unlike Track CN (Witness Amplification) which targets established networks,
Track FF focuses on corrupting networks during their formation phase
when defenses are weakest.

Key insight: The formation phase of any network is its most vulnerable.
Trust networks form through initial connections, and early manipulation
creates persistent structural advantages.
