 Thought you were referring to this here:

Yeah I played around with NIP-46 and would love to build something with it for npub.cash soon. I think it would be easiest to implement in the CLI tool first. 
 Awesome! Let me know if it needs improvements to meet your needs 
 Working on this now 🤙
I read through the spec and I think it’s truely a missed opportunity that a remote signer response does not reference the requests ID. Did you add that to your implementation by any chance? 
 The spec is too badly written. The reply has format of 
"content": "METHOD({id: <request-id>, result: <string>, error: <reason-string>})",
And the "result" field contains the method-specific payload.
The spec is being rewritten now with oauth-stuff added, hopefully it gets more readable. 
 Yes I noticed. I was able to integrate it into my SDK and successfully requested my Cashu-address balance using nsec.app 👏 great work btw…

However request-id is the random string from my request, not an event id right?

I want to build a set of asynchronous functions that send a request and then resolve once I get the response, but from what I can tell there is no way to subscribe to ONLY the response, because the response does not include the requests e-tag, right? 
 Right, request-id is random string, not the request event id.  
 Not including the requests e-tag in the response is a huge missed opportunity IMO 
 You can chime in to this huge rewrite if you're in for some arguing 😉

 The only justification I have to omit e-tag is to decrease the metadata leakage (this is reply to this req), although it's a very weak argument.
