+# Decisions: NIP Research Agent (2026-02-18)
+
+- **Prioritize NIP-65**: The inventory lists NIP-65 as "Partial" due to missing tests. As a P0 item (Relay Lists), this is the highest priority gap to close.
+- **Test Strategy**: Create a new test file `tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs` that mocks `nostrClient` to test `relayManager` in isolation.

+# Daily Task: nip-research-agent
+
+- **Date**: 2026-02-18
+- **Agent**: nip-research-agent
+- **Status**: Completed
+- **Output**:
+  - Created `tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs` (verified NIP-65/Kind 10002).
+  - Updated `NIP_INVENTORY.md` (NIP-65 -> Compliant).
+  - Created `nip-report-2026-02-18.md`.
+  - Updated agent state files in `context/`, `todo/`, `decisions/`, `test_logs/`.
+
+## Verification
+- Ran `npm test -- tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs`: PASSED.
+- Ran `npm run lint`: PASSED.

+# NIP Compliance Report (2026-02-18)
+
+## Executive Summary
+This run focused on closing the compliance gap for **NIP-65 (Relay List Metadata)**, identified as a P0 priority. A new regression test suite `tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs` was created to verify `relayManager.js` behavior against Kind 10002 specifications. The test confirms correct parsing of relay tags (including read/write markers) and correct event building.
+
+## Changes
+- **NIP-65**: Status upgraded from `Partial` to `Compliant`.
+- **Tests**: Added `tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs`.
+
+## Compliance Status (Snapshot)
+- **Compliant**: NIP-01, NIP-04, NIP-07, NIP-10, NIP-17, NIP-19, NIP-33, NIP-44, NIP-46, NIP-51, NIP-56, NIP-57, NIP-59, NIP-65, NIP-78, NIP-94, NIP-98, NIP-25, NIP-47.
+- **Partial**: NIP-09 (Event Deletion - incomplete Kind 5), NIP-71 (Video Events - mixed Kind 30078/21/22), NIP-96 (HTTP File Storage).
+- **Unknown**: NIP-21 (URI Scheme), NIP-42 (Auth).
+
+## Next Steps
+- **NIP-42 (Auth)**: Verify authentication flow (RELAY AUTH).
+- **NIP-96**: Investigate HTTP File Storage integration status.
+- **NIP-71**: Clarify path forward for standard vs legacy video kinds.

+# Test Log: NIP Research Agent (2026-02-18)
+
+## Execution
+Ran `node scripts/run-unit-tests.mjs tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs`.
+
+## Results
+- `tests/nostr-specs/nip65_compliance.test.mjs` PASSED.
+  - Verified NIP-65 parsing (relay list events).
+  - Verified NIP-65 event building (Kind 10002).
+
+## Notes
+- Mocked `nostrClient` and `setActiveSigner` to simulate environment.
+- Used `local` signer type to bypass extension permissions in test.
