At account creation Jade will securely create and transfer a new dedicated key to your Blockstream app that will be used solely for your lightning account. Jade will not be needed to authorize lightning transactions, because the Blockstream App will use this new key for your lightning transactions.
It seems a bit like mission creep to me. I associate hardware signers like jade with cold storage. Now it seems like they are using the Jade to save the seed phrase to an Aqua wallet -- so sats on liquid. But it sounds like this is separate from your cold storage sats.
When you want to spend on lightning you can do it from an online app and the jade just acts as the backup for it. So the jade doesn't need to come online to spend sats from this "account."
I'm curious how they handle a transfer between cold storage and this liquid-lightning thing as far as UX goes.

Also I may have some of these details wrong.
