+## Gap Analysis
+- **BIP85 `app_no=2`**: The implementation uses `app_no=2` for symmetric key derivation. BIP85 spec assigns `2` to nothing? `0` is BIP32, `2` is usually WIF (in some implementations) or unassigned. Hex/Raw entropy is usually `128'`. This custom derivation path should be documented or aligned if interoperability is desired.
+- **Nostr Relay Health**: No explicit relay health check protocol (NIP-11) found in `src/nostr/`, but `nostr-sdk` handles much of this.

+# Protocol Compliance Report - 2026-02-26
+
+**Agent:** `protocol-research-agent`
+**Focus:** Protocol Inventory & Compliance Assessment
+
+## Executive Summary
+The codebase relies heavily on standard libraries (`cryptography`, `bip-utils`, `nostr-sdk`, `pyotp`) for cryptographic and protocol implementations, ensuring a high baseline of compliance. Most protocol implementations delegate to these libraries directly.
+
+One potential deviation from standard specifications was identified in the local BIP85 implementation regarding the application number used for symmetric key derivation.
+
+## Findings
+
+### 1. Strong Library Usage
+- **BIP39/32**: `bip-utils` is used consistently.
+- **Crypto**: `cryptography` (hazmat) is used for AES-GCM, HKDF, and Ed25519.
+- **Nostr**: `nostr-sdk` (Rust bindings) handles protocol complexity.
+
+### 2. BIP85 Custom Derivation Path
+The implementation in `src/local_bip85/bip85.py` uses `app_no=2` for symmetric key derivation:
+```python
+def derive_symmetric_key(self, index: int = 0, app_no: int = 2) -> bytes:
+```
+According to [BIP-85](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0085.mediawiki), `app_no` mappings are:
+- `0`: BIP32
+- `2`: WIF (Wallet Import Format) - *Wait, spec usually assigns 2 to WIF.*
+- `128`: Hex
+
+However, the implementation derives raw entropy bytes for a symmetric key using `app_no=2`. If this is intended to match WIF generation logic, it might be acceptable, but typically symmetric keys (Hex) use `app_no=128`.
+**Risk:** Low (internal consistency is maintained), but interoperability with other BIP85 wallets for this specific derivation might be limited.
+
+### 3. BIP39 Word Count Default
+The `derive_entropy` method defaults `word_count` to `entropy_bytes` if `word_count` is None for `app_no=39`.
+```python
+if app_no == 39:
+    if word_count is None:
+        word_count = entropy_bytes
+```
+This is safe as long as `derive_mnemonic` (the primary caller) passes explicit `words_num`. Direct calls to `derive_entropy` with `app_no=39` and `word_count=None` could result in non-standard derivation paths (e.g., `.../16'/...` for 16 bytes entropy).
+
+## Recommendations
+1. **Document `app_no=2` usage**: Clarify in comments why `2` is used for symmetric keys (legacy or specific compatibility).
+2. **Add Compliance Tests**: Verify `derive_entropy` produces expected output vectors (if available) or at least remains stable.
+3. **Monitor `nostr-sdk` updates**: Ensure the Rust bindings stay updated to support newer NIPs.
+
+## Next Steps
+- Add regression test for `app_no=2` derivation path to prevent accidental changes.
+- Investigate if `app_no=128` (Hex) was the intended target for symmetric keys.

+# Task Log: protocol-research-agent
+
+**Timestamp:** 2026-02-26T03:14:42Z
+**Status:** Completed
+**Cadence:** Daily
+**Agent:** protocol-research-agent
+
+## Summary
+The protocol research task was executed successfully.
+
+### Key Actions
+1.  **Inventory Creation**: Created `PROTOCOL_INVENTORY.md` tracking BIP39, BIP32, BIP85, Nostr, etc.
+2.  **Compliance Assessment**: Identified a non-standard BIP85 derivation path (`app_no=2` for symmetric keys) in `src/local_bip85/bip85.py`.
+3.  **Reporting**: Published `reports/protocol/protocol-report-2026-02-26.md` detailing findings.
+4.  **Testing**: Added `src/tests/test_bip85_compliance.py` to document and monitor the BIP85 behavior.
+5.  **Issue Tracking**: Updated `KNOWN_ISSUES.md` with the BIP85 finding.
+6.  **Memory**: Updated scheduler memory with findings.
+
+## Artifacts
+- `PROTOCOL_INVENTORY.md`
+- `reports/protocol/protocol-report-2026-02-26.md`
+- `src/tests/test_bip85_compliance.py`
+- `memory-update.md`
+
+## Learnings
+The codebase is largely compliant but uses a custom BIP85 path for symmetric keys. This is now documented and tested.
