Clients of the Cosmos SDK can get almost all of the information they need about communicating with a Cosmos SDK chain from that chain’s .proto files. This allows clients to be dynamically generated, for instance auto-generated CLI’s as described in #11775.

Ideally all of the required metadata for generating a dynamic client should be in the .proto files as protobuf options, with out-of-band information only needed for optional customization (as autocli does with separate config options).

Most required metadata is already present but applied inconsistently without verification (ex. cosmos.msg.v1.signers, etc.). Metadata for amino JSON signing is missing from proto files and needs to be provided to clients manually.

These two issues will ensure that all metadata required for clients is in .proto files:

Additional useful client metadata is provided by the existing cosmos_proto.scalar, cosmos_proto.accepts_interface and cosmos_proto.implements_interface annotations but these are probably not required. A stretch goal though could be to add validation for these and explore additional ideas proposed in #11882.
