+# Learnings: Protocol Research (2026-02-23)
+
+- **Agent:** protocol-research-agent
+- **Cadence:** daily
+- **Run Start:** 2026-02-23T19:16:14Z
+
+## Findings
+- `cmd-complete.mjs` is a key implementation point for NIP-33 (Parameterized Replaceable Events) and NIP-78 (Application Data).
+- The omission of NIP-40 (Expiration) in `cmd-complete.mjs` is critical for ensuring task completion records are permanent, distinguishing them from temporary locks.
+- `nostr-tools` (v2.23.1) and `ws` (v8.19.0) are the core protocol dependencies.
+- `PROTOCOL_INVENTORY.md` and `reports/protocol/` now accurately reflect the current codebase state.

+# Protocol Audit Report - 2026-02-23
+
+## Summary
+The `protocol-research-agent` scanned the repository for protocol usage, focusing on Nostr NIPs, WebSocket, and HTTP implementations.
+
+## Findings
+
+### Nostr Protocol Usage
+- **Core Libraries**: `nostr-tools` (v2.23.1) is used consistently across `src/lib.mjs`, `src/lock-ops.mjs`, and `src/cmd-complete.mjs`.
+- **Kind 30078 (Application Data)**:
+  - Used for both active locks (`src/lock-ops.mjs`) and completed tasks (`src/cmd-complete.mjs`).
+  - Compliance with NIP-33 (Parameterized Replaceable Events) is maintained via `d` tags.
+- **Expiration (NIP-40)**:
+  - Used in `src/lock-ops.mjs` to enforce lock TTL.
+  - Intentionally omitted in `src/cmd-complete.mjs` to ensure task completion records are permanent. This is a critical protocol design choice that was verified.
+
+### Other Protocols
+- **WebSocket**: Used via `ws` library (v8.19.0) in `src/relay-health.mjs` for deep health probes (Kind 27235).
+- **HTTP**: Used in `src/dashboard.mjs` for the local dashboard server.
+
+## Compliance Status
+- **NIP-01**: Compliant.
+- **NIP-33**: Compliant.
+- **NIP-40**: Compliant (correctly used/omitted based on use case).
+- **NIP-78**: Compliant.
+
+## Recommendations
+- Ensure any future changes to `src/cmd-complete.mjs` maintain the omission of the expiration tag.
+- Continue monitoring `nostr-tools` updates for security patches.

+# Context
+
+## Goal
+Execute the `protocol-research-agent` mission to identify external protocol/spec dependencies, map them to implementation points, assess compliance risk, and propose improvements.
+
+## Scope
+- Scan `src/` directory for protocol references (Nostr, WebSocket, HTTP).
+- Update `PROTOCOL_INVENTORY.md`.
+- Generate a protocol audit report.
+- Verify compliance with identified NIPs.
+
+## Constraints
+- Do not modify core lock logic unless critical issues are found.
+- Produce reproducible artifacts.
+- Follow `src/prompts/daily/protocol-research-agent.md`.

+
+## Decision: No core logic changes required
+
+**Rationale**: The scan confirmed that existing protocol implementations (Nostr NIP-01/33/40/78, WebSocket, HTTP) are compliant and safe. The explicit omission of the expiration tag in `cmd-complete.mjs` is intentional for permanent storage and does not violate protocol expectations for this use case. No risky behavior was found requiring immediate remediation.

+# Protocol Research Agent - Completed
+
+## Summary
+The `protocol-research-agent` successfully scanned the repository for protocol usage, focusing on Nostr NIPs, WebSocket, and HTTP implementations.
+
+## Key Actions
+- Updated `PROTOCOL_INVENTORY.md` to include `src/cmd-complete.mjs` as an implementation point for NIP-01, NIP-33, NIP-40, and NIP-78.
+- Verified that `src/cmd-complete.mjs` intentionally omits NIP-40 expiration tags to ensure permanent storage of completion records.
+- Created `reports/protocol/protocol-report-2026-02-23.md` detailing findings and compliance status.
+- Validated that `nostr-tools` and `ws` versions match the inventory.
+
+## Status
+All identified protocol usage is compliant with repository standards. No critical risks were found.
