Really what happened is we checked whether we could set `isAdmin` to `true` on our existing accounts, and... we were able to. Adi's more technical writeup has details: https://saligrama.io/blog/post/firebase-i

Heh. That's not very nice. If it feels stilted, that's probably because I wrote this primarily to be spoken. But ChatGPT was not involved.
