Session verification on WeeChat client side seems not working

Dear Developer and Community,
Thank you very much for the awesome project!
I am sorry, but it appears there is a little documentation available on the subject of a Matrix session verification on the WeeChat side. For example, once the "Verify" button is pressed in the browser (e.g. Element) client, nothing appears in WeeChat and such command variations like /olm verify or /olm verification do result in success but errors like:
matrix: No matching unverified devices found.
matrix: Device ABCDEABCDE of user user_example:matrix.org not found
The client though receives a cancelled event if, for example, the modal verification dialog (e.g. https://i.imgur.com/z47yBci.png ) in the browser client is closed and outputs:
matrix: The interactive device verification with user @user_example:matrix.org got canceled: User declined.
Is that expected and what are the exact steps to complete the verification of the session initiated via the plugin?
Best and kind regards

Sadly the protocol has diverged from the initial implementation of the interactive verification and I was not able to keep up.
There's some support in the Rust version of weechat-matrix, but it also isn't done yet: poljar/weechat-matrix-rs#56.
Hey I wanna use it as well but for the exact same reason I cant. That's unfortunate. I belive that security keys exist though which let you verify a device.
Is there a way to verify with those?
Best regards :)
I was able to do it from the other side, so basically calling /olm verification start @your-user:matrix.org VERIFIED_DEVICE_ID, using a browser as other device worked.
