Google accounts can speak: the DM seal signs with the present for remote signers (the pomegranate FROST operators refuse backdated events, and NIP-59's tweak on the seal protects nothing — only the recipient ever sees that layer; the public-facing wrap keeps its tweak under our own ephemeral key), and the registrar welcomes each PERSON once instead of once per key — the Google flow's two claims (wallet key, then real npub with the wallet as manager) were earning the same inbox two identical greetings
