docs/09 has always stated it and always ended with "there is no onboarding page yet": an npub is a permanent pseudonym, everything written under it is linkable across relays, and for a team where npubs map to real names that is a public activity history. `PseudonymNotice` says it as a dialog on the first sign-in with a given npub — three sentences: what is signed stays linked to the npub forever, publishing cannot reliably be undone, and a private space restricts access rather than encrypting. A dismissible banner under the top bar was the cheaper option and is exactly what that paragraph rules out; a strip that can be scrolled past is the fine print. Acknowledgement is stored per npub, not per browser. A browser is not an identity: a second person on the same machine, or the same person starting a deliberately unlinked second pseudonym, has been told nothing. It also shows on a resumed session, not only on a fresh login() click — the question the storage answers is "has this npub been told", and anyone already signed in when this ships has not been.

…l goes inert The app has exactly one warning per npub to spend, and Escape was spending it. Escape is the trained reflex for making a dialog go away, so it now only defers the notice until the next load; only "I understand" records the npub as told. For the same reason the button no longer takes focus on open — one Enter on a focused button is as reflexive as one Escape. The dialog itself takes focus and is described by its body, so a screen reader reads the three sentences. While the dialog is up, everything behind it is `inert`. `aria-modal` without that is a claim the page does not honour, and concretely the top bar's Ctrl/Cmd+K would put the caret in a search field hidden under the backdrop. The state moved into `usePseudonymNotice` beside the storage, because both the dialog and the shell need it.
