Missing or invalid request chainId

Describe the bug When making a request client.request({ topic, chainId: MAINNET, request: { method: "personal_sign", params: [] }}) I get an error “Missing or invalid request chainId”

        description,
        url,
        icons: ["https://walletconnect.com/walletconnect-logo.png"],
      },
    })

          chains: [MAINNET],
          methods: ["personalSign"],
          events: [],
        },
      },
    })

Closing this for now, we have a separate issue to improve error messages that should make it easier to debug these things in the future. Plus check has been added to ensure you can’t pass “invalid” accounts when approving the session.
