Inscrutable may have been a little strong, but just having a re-test here shows me a nine argument curl call in some paths. I'm not saying you can't inspect it, but there is a lot going on there.

I think we're in agreement that a huge binary client is worse, but I'm suggesting there may be a middle ground with a small/simple open source client just for the key management aspect. That said, it does of course rely on people actually looking at the source of such a client ;)

The parameters are mostly server states. What’s interesting to you should be “what am I signing” (since that’s the only part they didn’t provide you in the first place) and it’s a JSON blob that’s fairly understandable.

A small client is still going to send the same payload.
