Description
While we inform clients about new E2EE devices on their account, I don't believe we have a way for servers to push clients when new OIDC logins happen. This means users won't be told if someone adds a non-E2EE device on their account.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue text and the related element-meta issue 2930. Identify how Matrix currently informs clients about new E2EE devices and determine the protocol-level change needed for OIDC logins. Done should include an agreed mechanism for servers to notify clients about new non-E2EE logins, but the issue does not name files or tests.
