A trusted caller can now do everything a user does through NickServ commands
— Register, Authenticate, SetPassword, SetEmail, Confirm, Drop, ForceLogout,
GroupNick, UngroupNick — over gRPC instead of IRC. Each mirrors its NickServ
command's exact behavior (Drop reuses the same cleanup a peer's gossiped drop
already triggers; SetPassword/Register derive credentials off the shared
engine lock, same as the IRC path) but is privileged: the bearer token is the
authorization, so most calls skip the account's own password check the IRC
command requires — the same trust model as an admin-level JSON-RPC
integration. A write commits locally and gossips to every other node exactly
like an IRC-originated one, no new propagation path needed.
Verified end-to-end over the real wire, not just unit tests: registered an
account via gRPC, changed its password via gRPC, then logged into a live
IRC session with that exact password.
