I’m trying to verify signed messages using Rust. lumo AI generated me this:

#[cfg(feature = "derive")]

use bitcoin::util::key::PublicKey;
use secp256k1::{Secp256k1};
pub mod messages {
use bitcoin::{
    Address, PublicKey, address::Payload, hashes::{Hash, sha256d::{self, Hash as Sha256dHash}}, secp256k1::{
        self,
        All,               // the context type we’ll use
        Message
    }
};
use base64::decode;
use secp256k1::{Secp256k1, ecdsa::{RecoverableSignature, RecoveryId}}; // only for convenience; you could use any Base64 lib

/// Turn the first byte of a legacy signature (27‑34) into a `RecoveryId`.
fn decode_recovery_byte(byte: u8) -> Result {
    if !(27..=34).contains(&byte) {
        return Err(secp256k1::Error::InvalidRecoveryId);
    }
    // Low‑order two bits = real recovery id (0‑3). The extra +4 (for compressed)
    // is stripped automatically by the modulo operation.
    RecoveryId::from_i32((byte % 4) as i32)
}

/// Compute the exact double‑SHA‑256 hash that Bitcoin‑CLI/Electrum sign.
///
/// The payload is:
///   
///   
fn bitcoin_message_hash(msg: &str) -> Sha256dHash {
    const MAGIC: &str = "Bitcoin Signed Message:\n";

    // CompactSize (varint) encoder – identical to Bitcoin Core.
    fn varint_len(s: &str) -> Vec {
        let mut v = Vec::new();
        let len = s.len() as u64;
        if len  Result> {

    
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 1️⃣ Decode the Base64 signature (must be exactly 65 bytes)
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    let sig_bytes = decode(sig_base64.trim())?;
    if sig_bytes.len() != 65 {
        return Err(format!("Signature must be 65 bytes (got {})", sig_bytes.len()).into());
    }
   println!("c111heckingadfdsads for address");
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 2️⃣ Split recovery byte and compact (r|s) signature
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    let rec_id = decode_recovery_byte(sig_bytes[0])?;
    let is_compressed = sig_bytes[0] >= 31; // true for 31‑34
    let compact_sig = &sig_bytes[1..]; // 64‑byte slice (r‖s)

    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 3️⃣ Build a RecoverableSignature (bundles the rec_id)
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    let recoverable = RecoverableSignature::from_compact(compact_sig, rec_id)?;

    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 4️⃣ Compute the double‑SHA‑256 hash of the message (magic prefix)
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    let msg_hash = bitcoin_message_hash(message);
    let secp_msg = Message::from_slice(msg_hash.as_ref())?;

    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 5️⃣ Recover the public key
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // `Secp256k1::verification_only()` gives us a read‑only context.
    let secp = Secp256k1::verification_only();
    let recovered_secp = secp.recover_ecdsa(&secp_msg, &recoverable)?;
    let recovered_pub = PublicKey::new(recovered_secp);
   println!("checkingadfdsads for address");
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 6️⃣ Parse the supplied address (this also tells us the network)
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    let supplied_addr: Address = address_str.parse::<:address>>().unwrap().assume_checked();
    println!("checking for address");
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 7️⃣ Re‑derive the address from the recovered public key
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    let derived_addr = match supplied_addr.payload {
        // ---------- Legacy Base58 (P2PKH) ----------
        Payload::PubkeyHash(_) => {
            // `p2pkh` automatically uses the compressed form if the key is
            // compressed; the `is_compressed` flag we extracted earlier is only
            // needed for sanity‑checking, not for address construction.
            Address::p2pkh(&recovered_pub, supplied_addr.network)
        }

        // // ---------- Native SegWit v0 (bc1q…) ----------
        // Payload::WitnessProgram {
        //     version: 0,
        //     program: ref prog,
        // } if prog.len() == 20 => {
        //     // SegWit v0 always uses the **compressed** public key, regardless
        //     // of the flag in the signature.  The `is_compressed` boolean is
        //     // therefore irrelevant for address reconstruction here.
        //     Address::p2wpkh(&recovered_pub, supplied_addr.network)?
        // }

        // Anything else (Taproot `bc1p…`, P2SH‑wrapped, multisig, etc.)
        // is not supported by the legacy signed‑message format.
        _ => {
            return Err(format!(
                "Legacy verification only supports P2PKH (1…) and native SegWit v0 (bc1q…) \
                 addresses. Address `{}` is of a different type.",
                address_str
            )
            .into())
        }
    };
    println!("{:?}", derived_addr);
    println!("{:?}", supplied_addr);
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // 8️⃣ Compare the derived address with the supplied one
    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    Ok(derived_addr == supplied_addr)
}
}

Can anyone tell me why this code isn’t working? I’ve checked bitcoin-cli verifymessage and returned true. The Rust code is returning false. I’m using a P2PKH address. Signing with the Sparrow wallet.
