I think your design is a great example of what I've been calling the "dumb server pattern" (for lack of a better term): commodify the parts that need to be high-avail, making them interchangable, then put all the business logic in the client.
Super exciting stuff, will follow closely!

Yep yep yep 💯, i like the active vs passive language.
In security circles “trust on first use” is seen as a very bad thing, but strikes me as exactly the right thing here: spend as little of the user’s active trust as possible: by delegating to a secure, passive, zero trust protocol
