What I'm saying is if you look at the sequence diagram for the resident key, at step 3 there's no requirement to have the keys stored in the security key: you can save an Rp to token mapping in the client outside and it's still considered a resident key.

I think what I'm saying here is that resident means resident to the client, not necessarily resident to the enclave. I took a peek at the spec and they define resident keys as being part of the "client platform" which they take care to clarify as "A single hardware device MAY be part of multiple distinct client platforms" https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#client-platform
