The author approved the draft v0.12 on 6 October 2026, as it stood: only
the date of its header changes, and no normative text is added. SpecVersion
is 0.12, the records of the fixtures and the vectors say so, and the frozen
security_cms.json and locator.json change only their spec field.
spec/README.md records the SHA-256 of the text, and the READMEs, SECURITY.md,
the traceability table, testdata/README.md and the changelog name v0.12.

The author approved the text and the six open decisions on 1 October 2026.
The spec says now what the review left open: the form of the CMS signature
and of the TSTInfo field by field, the ESSCertIDv2 with SHA-256 written, the
padding of the locator at its boundaries, base32 CIDs, the addresses read
without decoding, the issuer shown by the rules of the holder, and the area
decided after the signatures. SpecVersion is 0.11, the records of fixtures
and vectors say so, and decrypt shows an mtime later than a valid seal as an
inconsistency, which 29.7 asks as a SHOULD.

The fixtures of spec 67 for format 3, each with its record, its BODY,
its inspect output and, for time_and_key, its .dkk:
- format3_single, format3_tree (five files in three folders, one over
two STREAM chunks, one without mtime, a comment and a declared
author), format3_comment_only (no files; a TAB in the comment),
format3_bloque256 and format3_time_and_key_portable, written with
EncryptFiles;
- format3_area_1024, format3_security_v2 (verdict X),
format3_signature_unsupported (an author-signature of alg 1 with a
random key of 32 bytes and a random signature of 64: F1) and
format3_seal_unsupported (that and a seal of seal_type 1: F1 and S1),
which only a generator of test vectors writes (62.1 rule 13), built
with testkit.Build.
The record of a format 3 fixture adds the area, SECURITY_CBOR,
HEAD_CBOR, the salt, the comment, the declared author, the head
extensions, the offset of CONTENT in BODY, each file with its layout,
SHA-256 and mtime, and the verdicts with their lines; its plaintext
file is BODY. The generator writes, then recovers every value by
opening layer by layer for the three formats alike, and refreshes the
records of format 3 through a Sink.
Tests: the conformance test checks BODY, the head, security and every
file, and opens through a MemorySink; the .dkk tests take the .dkk of
formats 2 and 3 too (spec 68); the CLI decrypts five of the fixtures
into folders; the control fuzz target decodes with the three schema
versions. The differential corpus gains two bases, format3_single and
format3_time_and_key_portable, one per policy: 5110 cases, the earlier
ones unchanged.

- SpecVersion is 0.10: the version command, the catalogue test and the
spec field of every test data file name spec v0.10. The regenerated
test data change in that field only.
- All lists ERR_HEAD_INVALID, last, as section 69 of the spec does.
- The tests of the path rules and of format 3 held literal invisible
and combining characters (ZWJ, VS16, U+202E, soft hyphen, the Kelvin
sign and others), which an editor could normalize or hide; they are
Go escapes now, with the same values.

The reference moves to the DateKeys Protocol Specification v0.9, approved
by its author on 29 September 2026. Encrypt writes capsule format 2 only;
Open and Inspect read formats 1 and 2, and a format 1 capsule keeps the
verdict v0.8.2 gave it.
Format 2 (spec §22, §29.1, §31, §39):
- VERSION in the PRELUDE is the capsule format, capsule.Format; any other
value is ERR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION at step 2.
- CONTROL_CBOR has the schema version of its format. Version 2 adds key 6,
payload_length (8 bytes, big-endian, at most L_MAX = 2^53 - 2^46), and
key 7, padding (1 bloque256, 2 reforzado); it is 103 bytes without
extensions, whatever L.
- The payload is the content padded with zeros to P = rule(L). Step 17
checks the length and the zeros, and Open writes only the first L bytes.
- INNER_ACCESS_AGE holds exactly 16 X25519 stanzas: 1 to 16 credentials,
and a dummy in each slot left, in a uniformly random order.
Writer rules (spec §62.1): EncryptOptions.Length is required and the
source must deliver exactly that many bytes; recipients that are not
canonical or of low order are rejected (agewrap.CheckX25519Recipient);
self-checks of the header, the control, INNER_ACCESS_AGE and PAYLOAD_AGE.
The CLI measures its input, takes -padding and reports the format.
Test data: seven format 2 fixtures, padding vectors checked against
math/big, format 2 CBOR vectors, and the mutation corpus in both formats
with the 22 cases of the third list of spec §64, built without randomness
by sealing the fixtures again with their known keys and nonces. The
format 1 fixtures are kept byte for byte and never regenerated; the
differential corpus keeps its 1825 cases and adds a block per format 2
fixture. The spec copy loses its "to be implemented" markers, and the
READMEs, CHANGELOG, traceability and testdata/README.md follow v0.9.

Step 2b: package codec is rewritten without reflection or struct tags. A
strict Decoder accepts only the spec §58 profile, Unmarshal decodes,
re-encodes and compares, Peek reads the type tag and version, and Walk is a
bounded iterative helper for vectors and fuzzing. Every schema has its own
hand-written encoder and decoder that checks all CDDL rules before the
fields with their own error codes. github.com/fxamacker/cbor/v2 and
github.com/x448/float16 are gone; nothing replaces them. Valid objects
encode and decode exactly as before (1.34 million differential verdicts);
the invalid-input differences are documented in CHANGELOG and
traceability decision 12. A review found and fixed an access_policy check
that truncated to uint8.
Step 3: testdata gains vectors/cbor.json (generic and per-schema CBOR
vectors), vectors/mutations.json (the 55-case mutation corpus, replayable
offline), vectors/inspect_differential.json (1,825 fixed-seed mutations
with the Go verdict) and one inspect -json golden per fixture, all
regenerated byte-identically by genfixtures and documented in
testdata/README.md for second implementations.
Gate green with 90 s of fuzzing per target on all 15 targets; codec at
100 % coverage; pre-existing testdata byte-identical.
