As I said in the first message in this thread, in my login attempt, I
did include the signature right away, in the first USERAUTH_REQUEST.

(And I consider handling of private keys a long-standing user interface
bug in lsh: I store private keys encrypted with a passphrase, and if the
file ~/.lsh/identity exists, I ask the user for the passphrase upfront
(even before connecting to the remote server). And then the user will
have to know if the key is likely to be useful, and type the passphrase,
or just press enter. An empty passphhrase makes decryption fail, and
then lsh continues without attempting pubkey user auth at all. It would
be more user-friendly to only ask for passphrase if the key is likely to
be useful).
