Research direction

Start by reproducing the personal_sign request from WalletConnect Swift through MetaMask and verify its returned signature with ethers.utils.VerifyMessage. Compare the requested message, signature, and verification inputs to identify the interoperability mismatch; done means the returned signature verifies consistently or the incompatibility is documented with a minimal reproduction.
