One route would probably be to start with a warrant to search their house in hopes of finding some passwords written down somewhere

Under what premise are they getting the warrant?

This absolutely sounds like parallel construction.

I assume they’d get it on roughly the same basis as the warrant they got for the cloud storage.

I’m also curious what here looks like parallel construction to you - I thought the statement of facts was surprisingly mundane, but perhaps I missed some red flags?
