But the thought came to mind that this could probably also be achieved today by simply having the Sign In button take the user to `/signin` and then call `.get()` on page load. Which, if true, could obviate the need for immediate mediation...

It doesn’t! Because you’ll still get Hybrid’d. The goal is to only show credentials that are local, and then have a “Passkey” button on the page that will make a full request, including Hybrid.
