I’m the developer of a third-party extension on Twitch. I’ve been exploring the possibility of using the client-nonce IRC tag for a feature, as a way to pass arbitrary data across to other clients. Does Twitch have a specific stance regarding the usage of this tag, or is it OK to use?
A nonce is only returned to the sending client, not other clients iirc.
And your attempted use case is a bending of a rule on what nonce’s are for. But sure you could use it to relay data. It might get weird if two nonces you send at the same nonce…

False, client-nonce is returned in the PRIVMSG messages as a message tag. That’s why usage of that client-nonce tag is sort of solution to send “metadata” about the message.
