TotpManager built pyotp.TOTP(secret) with library defaults (6 digits, 30s)
and ignored what the entry recorded, so any imported or derived entry using
other values produced codes the issuing service rejects. The service was
configured from the entry's values -- those govern the code.
- current_code_from_secret and current_code take period/digits
- EntryManager.get_totp_code passes the entry's values for both the
derived and imported paths
- display_service, menu_handler (totp_list now carries digits) and the GUI
updated at every call site
- regression tests for imported and deterministic entries with custom
parameters, asserting against pyotp with the matching interval/digits,
and confirming default entries are byte-identical to before
Found by scripts/cross_impl_check.py, which flagged it as a divergence
against the TypeScript port. That allowance is now removed: the suite
asserts TOTP equality and reports 30/30 with zero divergences.

Expanded the cross-implementation suite from 19 to 30 checks so every
feature is exercised against the other implementation, not just the ones
that were convenient:
G edits (modify / archive / links) made by either side are seen by the other
H deterministic conflict merge produces byte-identical output on both sides
I an Argon2id-protected Python profile unlocks in TS
J the encrypted config file interoperates both directions
Entry coverage in phases A/B now spans every creatable kind, including a
policy-constrained password and an imported (non-deterministic) TOTP.
Two real bugs this surfaced, both fixed:
- Password entries carrying a `policy` block derived the WRONG password in
TS. Python's _generate_password_for_entry merges the entry's overrides
onto the base policy before deriving; TS ignored the block entirely, so
any entry created with policy flags produced a different password.
core now exposes passwordPolicyFromRecord and the CLI applies it.
- TS could not read a Python-written config file: Python wraps it in the
kdf/ct JSON envelope (same class as the snapshot bug fixed last commit).
loadConfig now parses the envelope; regression test included.
One behavioral divergence found and deliberately NOT papered over:
Python generates TOTP codes with pyotp defaults (6 digits / 30s) even when
the entry records different values, so an imported 8-digit/45s secret
yields different codes in each implementation -- and Python's would be
rejected by the issuing service. The suite now reports it as a [DIVERGE]
line rather than a pass or a failure, and the matrix records it as awaiting
a product decision. TS behavior is believed correct.
173 core + 47 CLI tests green; 30/30 cross-implementation checks green
with 2 documented divergences.

Phase F starts the in-process NIP-01 relay, has the real Python NostrClient
publish a chunked snapshot to it, then restores that snapshot with the TS
CLI on a clean profile and checks the secrets survive.
It immediately caught a genuine restore bug: Python's index files wrap the
ciphertext in a kdf/ct JSON envelope, and a published snapshot carries
whatever the local file held. TS decrypted the fetched bytes directly, so
it failed on anything Python published -- invisible to the TS-only tests
because TS writes bare ciphertext. Restore (and delta replay) now parse the
wrapper first, exactly as decrypt_and_save_index_from_nostr does.
Regression test in relay.test.ts publishes a wrapper-format payload through
a live relay and restores it.
Cutover plan updated: gate 4 (sync protocol) now cites this end-to-end
evidence, and gate 5's remaining list drops SSH and migrations.

- core/derive/ssh.ts: BIP-85 app 32 entropy used directly as the Ed25519
private key, serialized as PKCS#8 and SubjectPublicKeyInfo PEM. Both DER
shapes are fixed for Ed25519, so they are emitted from literal prefixes
rather than adding an ASN.1 dependency to the crypto path.
- Output matches Python's `cryptography` byte-for-byte across two seeds and
three indices, including PEM line wrapping.
- CLI: `entry add ssh`, reveal (private key PEM), and `entry ssh-public`
which prints the public key without touching secret material. The
OpenSSH authorized_keys line is a TS-only convenience -- Python emits
only PEM, which ssh(1) cannot consume directly -- and is marked as such
in the compatibility matrix.
- Cross-impl phases A and B now include an ssh entry in both directions.
One harness fix: PEM values carry a trailing newline that the CLI capture
strips, so the cross-impl comparison normalizes trailing whitespace. The
unit tests still compare exactly.

This was the one remaining gap that could strand a real user: TS refused
any index below schema_version 4, which is every profile written before
tags were added.
- core/schema/migrations.ts ports seedpass.core.migrations exactly,
including the quirks: v1->v2 copies `website` to `label` and drops it
only for password entries; `kind` is NOT backfilled (Python leaves
pre-v2 entries `type`-only and falls back on read). Migration works on a
copy, so a failure can never leave a half-converted vault.
- parseVaultIndex now migrates on open and still refuses future versions;
pass {migrate:false} where silent upgrades are unwanted.
- Two bugs this surfaced: the version probe could not read a v0 index (no
schema_version field at all), and migrated legacy entries failed schema
validation because the discriminator `kind` was missing. The parser now
fills `kind` from `type` at validation time -- the same shape Python
writes for new entries, documented in the matrix.
Evidence: fixtures generated by running Python's own apply_migrations over
v0/v1/v2/v3 payloads, plus cross-impl phase E, which writes a real legacy
v2 index into a Python profile, opens it with the TS CLI, reveals a
migrated secret, and confirms Python still reads the profile afterwards.

Fixtures show both implementations compute the same values. This adds the
missing half: proof they can read each other's on-disk profiles and
backups, using each side's real code paths.
scripts/cross_impl_check.py (12 checks, wired into CI):
A. Python creates a profile -> TS opens the index, derives every secret
identically, and unlocks it with the master password alone
B. TS creates a profile -> Python decrypts parent_seed.enc and the index,
recovers the same seed, derives the same secrets
C. Portable backups round-trip both directions (Python verifies the
checksum of a TS-written export)
D. Both implementations reject a bad-checksum mnemonic
Two real compatibility bugs it caught, both fixed:
- TS-created profiles were unopenable by Python. Python only honors the
recorded parent-seed KDF parameters when kdf.name is exactly "pbkdf2";
TS wrote "pbkdf2-sha256" with an empty salt and 100k iterations, so
Python fell back to its config defaults (200k, fingerprint salt) and
derived a different key. TS now writes exactly what
PasswordManager._build_seed_kdf_config does, and its own unlock path
honors the recorded salt and iteration count.
- TS accepted invalid BIP-39 mnemonics. Seed derivation takes any string,
so a typo'd phrase silently produced a *different* vault -- unopenable
by Python and unrecoverable by the user. Mnemonics are now validated
wherever they enter (profile creation and SEEDPASS_MNEMONIC), with an
error that says why it matters.
Also: docs/typescript_cutover_plan.md records the gate list for promoting
TS to main and retiring Python to legacy/reference -- P0 gates 1-4 are
green, 5-7 (feature parity tail, packaging, migration/rollback) are not.
The Python tree stays in CI after cutover as the compatibility oracle.
Regression tests for both bugs. 151 core + 46 CLI tests green,

Ran the full CLI surface against a freshly generated throwaway seed
(profile -> agent unlock -> all 8 entry kinds -> reveal/sinks -> tokens ->
audit -> backup -> relay sync -> seed-only recovery). Four defects that no
unit test had caught:
- clipboard sink hung the CLI forever. xclip/wl-copy fork a resident
process to own the X/Wayland selection; it inherited our stdio, so any
reader of the CLI's stdout blocked indefinitely, and waiting for process
exit never returned. Now detached with ignored stdio, success declared
once stdin is flushed.
- 'vault import' read the mnemonic straight from the env, so it failed
whenever the vault was unlocked through the agent -- the normal path.
- 'vault import' never wrote anything; it only printed a summary. It now
restores into the active vault, refuses to overwrite a non-empty vault
without --yes, and keeps the old behavior behind --inspect.
- A corrupt/foreign vault file surfaced the raw codec error "invalid token
encoding". It now names the actual likely causes.
Also documented the variadic-option limitation that a trailing flag is
lost (commander stops collecting at the next dash-prefixed token): a
quoted command spec now splits on whitespace, no shell involved.
Regression tests for all four. 151 core + 44 CLI tests green.

The section-9.3 permission model is now working code, enforced where the
keys live:
- Token model (aligned with the Python agent surface): bearer tokens with
read/use/reveal scopes, entry-kind and label-regex constraints, TTL and
use counts. Issued and held by the session agent — hash-stored, plaintext
shown exactly once at issuance; list/revoke commands.
- Token mode: with SEEDPASS_TOKEN set (and no mnemonic), the CLI reads the
decrypted index and materializes secrets AGENT-SIDE. The constrained
process never receives the mnemonic, and resolveMnemonic refuses owner
fallback in token mode — a token can never silently escalate (the test
suite caught exactly this hole and it is now closed).
- Denials are precise and audited: wrong scope, wrong kind, unmatched
label, expired, exhausted, revoked. Reads don't consume uses; secret
deliveries do.
- Audit chain in Python AuditLogger's scheme: sig = HMAC-SHA256(key_index,
prev_sig + canonical_payload), genesis 64 zeros, per-profile audit.log;
agent records unlocks, token lifecycle, index reads, deliveries and
denials (never secret values). audit-verify/audit-tail commands; a forged
record breaks the chain in tests.

- core entryMod: modify_entry port with the per-kind allowed-field matrix,
policy merging, blacklisted-field cleanup and timestamp touching;
archive/restore; typed links (add/remove/get with Python's normalization,
dedupe on target/relation/note, self-link and missing-target refusal).
- Parity fixture entry_mods.json: the real Python EntryManager applies a
10-op modification sequence at a later pinned clock; TS replays the same
ops from the creation state and matches byte-for-byte.
- CLI: entry modify/archive/unarchive/links/link-add/link-remove,
entry totp-codes (explicit egress, honors --at and archived state),
util generate-password (Python parity: index 0 + gen v1 defaults, full
policy flags — v1/v2 outputs verified against password fixtures).
- capabilities: egress command list updated.
- 148 core parity tests (Node + jsdom) + 22 CLI tests green.

- NIP-01 event serialization/id computation, BIP-340 signing and
verification via @noble/curves, SeedPass event builders (manifest 30070,
chunk 30071, delta 30072 with d/e tags), and REQ/EVENT/EOSE/OK/NOTICE/
CLOSED client-relay framing. Transport-agnostic; the WebSocket adapter
lands with the interface milestones.
- Cross-implementation fixtures generated through the Python side's
nostr_sdk (rust-nostr) with pinned created_at: TS ids match theirs
byte-for-byte, their signatures verify in TS, and TS-signed events
reproduce identical ids. The generator caches signatures across runs
(BIP-340 aux randomness) so fixture output stays byte-deterministic and
the CI drift job holds.

- core entryOps: add* functions for all creatable kinds rebuild the Python
EntryManager fixture index byte-for-byte under a pinned clock — field
shapes, id allocation, independent TOTP derivation-index allocation, and
Python's ISO timestamp format all verified.
- CLI 'entry add password/totp/key-value/document/seed/managed-account/
nostr': provision-blind — returns the reference and metadata, never the
secret the entry represents; tests assert the derived password / imported
secret / child mnemonic appear nowhere in provisioning output.
- Parity bug found and fixed by the new entry_secrets fixtures: nostr ENTRY
keys derive via the default BIP-85 app 39 path (EntryManager), not app
1237 (sync client identity); the CLI had used 1237. Reveal values for
password/TOTP/nostr/seed/managed-account now match Python retrieval.

- Portable backup (format_version 1): TS imports Python exports, re-exports
byte-identically under pinned nonce/timestamp, verifies the canonical
checksum, rejects tampering and unknown versions.
- .github/workflows/ts-parity.yml: typecheck + Node/jsdom parity suite on
js/ changes, plus a fixture-drift job that regenerates fixtures from
Python and fails if the committed ones don't match (manifest commit field
excluded by construction).
- packages/cli — seedpass-js MVP implementing plan section 9.3:
* reference-first output: entry list/get/search emit sp://entry/<id> refs
and metadata; secret-bearing fields become has_* flags
* 'entry reveal' is the only plaintext egress command
* 'use --clipboard|--exec|--stdin-to' delivers secrets to sinks; --exec
injects SEEDPASS_SECRET into the child env, never argv or stdout
* vault export/import over portable backups; capabilities --format json
* mnemonic comes from SEEDPASS_MNEMONIC env, never the command line
- CLI tests prove the blindness properties: derived password matches the v2
fixture, TOTP at pinned time, secrets absent from all default output and
from sink-delivery confirmations.
- 125 core parity tests (Node + jsdom) + 11 CLI tests green.

- Snapshot model parity (kinds 30070/30071/30072): gzip chunking via
platform CompressionStream, chunk-hash verification, reassembly of
Python-produced chunks, manifest JSON schema, manifest id
HMAC-SHA256(key_index, 'manifest|'+nonce) with the key_index HKDF chain.
- Full merge_index_payloads port (modified_ts_hash_tombstone_v2):
Python-compatible canonical JSON (sort_keys + ensure_ascii) for hash
parity, equal-ts field-level union, tombstone create/prefer/apply/cap,
_sync_meta bookkeeping. Populated _system.index0 content refuses to merge
loudly (atlas-milestone work) instead of silently dropping data.
- Delta replay: encrypted V3 deltas decrypt and merge in order with
source_tag = sha256(payload)[:16]; final state matches Python.
- New fixtures: nostr_snapshot.json, sync_merge.json (8 scenarios),
delta_replay.json; generator remains byte-deterministic.
- 117 parity tests green in Node and jsdom.

- scripts/generate_ts_port_fixtures.py: deterministic fixtures from public
test mnemonics (passwords v1+v2, BIP-39/85, TOTP, Nostr keys, managed
seeds, fingerprints, index keys, entry schemas, V3 vault payload).
Byte-identical across runs; v1 values match the frozen entropy-integrity
vectors.
- js/: pnpm workspace with @seedpass/core and @seedpass/test-vectors.
Core implements BIP-85, password gen v1 (frozen) + v2, TOTP, Nostr keys,
fingerprints, vault index key, and V3 AES-GCM decrypt using only
noble/scure crypto + WebCrypto. Strict TS, no Node/DOM deps in core.
- 82 parity tests pass in Node and a jsdom browser-like environment.
- docs/typescript_port_compatibility_matrix.md tracks per-area status.
