## 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.

# Memory Update (2026-02-25)
## Docs Cleanup
- Replaced `docs/README.md` content that referenced Archivox with a SeedPass-focused docs index.
- Updated docs-site default title in `docs/src/config/loadConfig.js` from `Archivox` to `SeedPass Docs`.
## Outcome
- Removed stale Archivox branding from the docs README and default docs title so the correct SeedPass README/content is displayed.
## Supply Chain and Release Integrity (Checklist #8)
- Added a dedicated release integrity workflow at `.github/workflows/release-integrity.yml`.
- Workflow now enforces lockfile drift checks, runs `pip-audit`, builds release artifacts, generates `SHA256SUMS`, signs checksum manifest with keyless `cosign`, and publishes signatures/certs with release assets.
- Added `scripts/release_integrity.py` CLI with `check-lockfile`, `generate`, and `verify` subcommands.
- Added reusable checksum logic in `src/seedpass/release_integrity.py` and regression tests in `src/tests/test_release_integrity_utils.py`.
- Updated `docs/security_readiness_checklist.md` item #8 from `Not Started` to `In Progress` with evidence links.
- Added process documentation in `docs/supply_chain_release_integrity.md` and linked it from `docs/README.md` and `README.md`.
## Determinism Regression Guardrail
- Added `src/tests/test_deterministic_artifact_regression.py` to lock deterministic vectors at index `352` for password, SSH, seed phrase, TOTP, PGP (fingerprint + armored hash), and Nostr keys.
- Added repeatability assertions for same-seed/same-index derivation in the same run.
- Logged explicit remaining tasks to finish checklist item #8 in both `docs/supply_chain_release_integrity.md` and `TODO.md`.
## CI Determinism Enforcement
- Expanded deterministic regression vectors to cover indices `0`, `1`, `352`, and `1024` across password, SSH, seed phrase, TOTP, and Nostr outputs.
- Added pinned PGP vectors for both `ed25519` and `rsa` at index `352` (fingerprints + armored key hashes).
- Added explicit deterministic regression steps to push CI workflows:
- `.github/workflows/python-ci.yml`
- `.github/workflows/tests.yml`
## Profile Unlock Failure Recovery
- Hardened startup profile selection to avoid fatal crash loops when unlock/decryption fails or is cancelled.
- `select_fingerprint(...)` now returns `False` on unlock/setup failure instead of always raising; selection menu now keeps the user in-flow.
- Added profile recovery flow `recover_profile_with_blank_index()` reachable from seed-profile selection menu.
- Recovery flow verifies that user-provided seed matches selected fingerprint, then re-encrypts seed and resets local entry index/checksum files to a blank state.
- Fixed "switch to existing profile" path during add-new-seed so it does not call `initialize_managers()` without an initialized `EncryptionManager`.
- Added regression tests in `src/tests/test_profile_recovery_flow.py` for these paths.
## TUI Crash Hardening
- Hardened `display_menu()` to catch per-action `PasswordPromptError`, `SeedPassError`, and generic exceptions so failures no longer terminate the whole TUI session.
- Added graceful timeout-lock recovery messaging when unlock is cancelled/failed after inactivity timeout.
- Fixed incorrect call signature in Add Entry submenu header rendering (`clear_header_with_notification(...)` now receives `password_manager`).
- Added crash-regression coverage in `src/tests/test_cli_invalid_input.py` for action failures and timeout-unlock cancellation handling.
## Settings/Relay Submenu Hardening
- Added local exception guards in `handle_settings`, `handle_profiles_menu`, and `handle_nostr_menu` so submenu actions report failures and return control instead of crashing the TUI.
- Added explicit graceful handling for Settings -> Lock Vault unlock cancellations/failures.
- Corrected `clear_header_with_notification(...)` call signatures in settings-related submenus to pass `password_manager` as first argument.
- Added regression tests in `src/tests/test_settings_menu.py` for:
- missing settings handler method
- lock/unlock cancellation
- profiles submenu action failure
## Import/Export + Nostr Workflow Guardrails
- Hardened settings menu options for export/import/TOTP export with explicit error messaging (`Export failed`, `Import failed`, `2FA export failed`) instead of generic crashes.
- Added graceful no-path handling for Settings -> Import (`No path entered.`).
- Hardened CLI subcommand entrypoints in `main.py`:
- require `--file` for `export`/`import`
- catch and report failures for `export`, `import`, `search`, `get`, and `totp` commands.
- Added regression tests for these cases in:
- `src/tests/test_settings_menu.py`
- `src/tests/test_cli_export_import.py`
## Installer Dependency Resolution Fix (2026-02-26)
- Root cause of installer failures was a stale `requirements.lock` pin (`cffi==1.17.1`) conflicting with `pynacl==1.6.2` (requires `cffi>=2.0.0` on Python >=3.9).
- A second hidden source issue blocked clean lock regeneration: `starlette>=0.49.1` was incompatible with `fastapi>=0.110` resolution path (current fastapi metadata requires `starlette<0.48`).
- Updated dependency sources to consistent constraints:
- `src/requirements.txt`: `starlette>=0.40,<0.48`
- `src/runtime_requirements.txt`: `starlette>=0.40,<0.48`
- `pyproject.toml`: `starlette = ">=0.40,<0.48"`
- Regenerated `requirements.lock` with hashes; key resolved pins now include:
- `cffi==2.0.0`
- `pynacl==1.6.2`
- `fastapi==0.116.1`
- `starlette==0.47.3`
- Verified the installer-critical step succeeds in a fresh virtualenv:
- `python -m pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.lock`
## TORCH Windows Checkout Fix (2026-02-26)
- Root cause: tracked TORCH artifact filenames used `:` in timestamps (e.g. `CONTEXT_2026-02-15T01:03:31Z.md`), which Windows cannot checkout.
- Confirmed scheduler/runtime already emits Windows-safe scheduler/memory filenames (`HH-mm-ss`), and backup folder names were already sanitized.
- Removed all tracked colon-variant duplicates under `torch/src/*` and `torch/_backups/*` where matching dash-variant files already existed.
- Validation: `git ls-files | rg ':'` now returns no results.
## TORCH Update + Windows Filename Validation (2026-02-26)
- Updated TORCH package to `1e3f88e` via tarball install, then ran `torch-lock update --force` and `npm install --prefix torch`.
- Quick validation passed: `npm run --prefix torch lock:check:daily -- --json --quiet` returned `lockCount: 0` with a full available roster.
- Windows compatibility check passed: `git ls-files | rg ':'` returned no tracked paths.
## GitHub Actions Poetry Cache Bootstrap Fix (2026-02-26)
- `actions/setup-python` with `cache: poetry` requires `poetry` to already exist on PATH in that same step.
- In `.github/workflows/tests.yml`, Poetry was installed after setup-python via `pipx`, causing CI bootstrap failure.
- Switched cache mode to `cache: pip` to avoid requiring Poetry during Python setup.
## pip-audit Advisory Alias Handling (2026-02-26)
- CI failures appeared in `python-ci` on macOS because `pip-audit` surfaced Starlette issue as `CVE-2025-62727` while workflows ignored only `GHSA-wj6h-64fc-37mp`.
- Updated strict audit workflows to ignore both IDs so the existing temporary exception is robust to advisory ID alias/reporting differences.
- Updated files: `.github/workflows/python-ci.yml`, `.github/workflows/dependency-audit.yml`, `.github/workflows/release-integrity.yml`.
## Poetry Lock Sync for Tests Workflow (2026-02-26)
- `tests.yml` uses Poetry (`poetry install`), and the job failed because `pyproject.toml` had drifted from `poetry.lock`.
- Regenerated `poetry.lock` with Poetry 2.3.2 so lock metadata/dependency graph matches the current project file.
- Result: CI should no longer fail with "pyproject.toml changed significantly since poetry.lock was last generated".
## CI Black Check Failure Fix (2026-02-26)
- `tests.yml` failed at `poetry run black --check .` on 9 files (SeedPass tests/core file plus TORCH script/backups).
- Applied Black formatting to all reported files and verified `poetry run black --check .` passes locally.
## Python 3.10 datetime.UTC Compatibility Fix (2026-02-26)
- CI `test (ubuntu-latest, 3.10)` failed during test collection because `datetime.UTC` is unavailable on Python 3.10.
- Replaced `datetime.UTC` usage with `timezone.utc` in `src/seedpass/cli/agent.py` and `scripts/ai_tui_agent_test.py`.
- Verified with targeted tests: `src/tests/test_cli_agent_mode.py` and `src/tests/test_ai_tui_agent_harness.py`.
## Settings Unlock Cancellation Robustness (2026-02-26)
- CI showed `test_settings_lock_unlock_cancelled_is_graceful` intermittently receiving a generic exception path instead of `PasswordPromptError` during Settings -> Lock Vault unlock.
- Hardened `handle_settings()` lock flow to treat any exception containing "cancelled by user" as cancellation, printing `Unlock cancelled: ...` instead of a hard failure message.
- Verified with targeted pytest for the failing test.
## Docs Alignment Agent Memory (2026-02-26)
- Root README drift to code can hide in security/prereq sections; verify against `pyproject.toml` and `ConfigManager` constants before editing.
- Dead-link checks across `README.md` + `docs/**/*.md` quickly expose stale internal docs references and are safe to run in CI/local.
- If scheduler prompts require `docs/agent-handoffs/*`, ensure the path exists in-repo (not only under `node_modules/torch-lock`).
**Protocol Research Findings**: The codebase uses `bip_utils` and `nostr_sdk` correctly. However, `BIP85` implementation uses `app_no=2` for symmetric key derivation, which is non-standard (usually `128` or `0`).

# 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.
