 Open question (Batch 2): verify with a known vector that BouncyCastle and libsodium produce identical bytes for the same password/salt. The manual says Android uses `PARAMS_TAG = "argon2id;v=19;m=47104;t=3;p=1"`, which aligns with Argon2 v1.3.
 
+### 3.3 Wordlist correction note
+
+The recovery-phrase wordlist described in §3.1 was originally documented as 256 words (≈80 bits entropy). The actual Android `RecoveryKeyManager.WORDLIST` constant contains **248 words**, so the true entropy is 10 × log₂(248) ≈ 79.3 bits. iOS bundles the exact 248-word list in `wordlist.txt` to preserve cross-platform compatibility. Cross-platform recovery remains byte-identical because the list is copied verbatim.

 **Deferred to Batch 3+**: schemaVersion 3 sealed answers, commitments, ECIES keyboxes, and user device keys.
 
+## 15. Batch 3 implementation status
+
+Landed in Batch 3:
+- `FirestoreService` `createInvite` / `acceptInvite` real implementations producing/accepting the strict-E2EE four-field payload.
+- `PairingViewModel` orchestration (`startCreateInvite`, `acceptInvite(code:phrase:)`) with Crockford 6-character code generation and recovery-phrase display.
+- `AnswerCrypto.swift`: schemaVersion 2 daily-answer encrypt/decrypt wrapper (`enc:v1:`) using the shared couple key.
+- `AnswerRevealViewModel` wired to write/read the `answers/{userId}/secure/payload` subdoc for schemaVersion 2 reveals.
+- Unit tests: `InvitePayloadTests`, `AnswerCryptoTests`, updated `CoupleEncryptionManagerTests` with a known-vector (iOS self-consistency) test.
+- SPEC.md wordlist correction: 248 words, 79.3 bits entropy.
+
+Deferred to Batch 4+:
+- SchemaVersion 3 sealed answers / commitments / ECIES keyboxes.
+- Per-user ECIES device keys (`UserKeyManager`, `PendingAnswerKeyStore`).
+- Full BouncyCastle ↔ libsodium cross-platform Argon2id vector verification in CI (requires Android emulator + iOS simulator + shared fixture).
+
+## 16. Cross-platform verification status
+
+Batch 3 ships with **round-trip + iOS-side self-consistency** tests:
+- `CoupleEncryptionManagerTests.testKnownVectorUnwrap`: a fixed recovery phrase + fixed salt produce a deterministic KEK on iOS; the unwrapped couple-key hash is asserted against a hardcoded iOS-computed value.
+- `AnswerCryptoTests`: encrypt/decrypt round-trip, AAD mismatch detection, tamper detection, and `enc:v1:` wrapper round-trip all pass on the iOS implementation.
+- `InvitePayloadTests`: a mock `FirestoreInvitesProtocol` fake proves the create/accept orchestration recovers the same `CoupleKeyMaterial` without touching live Firebase.
+
+True BouncyCastle ↔ libsodium cross-platform vector verification requires a paired CI run (Android emulator + iOS simulator + a shared test fixture file). The iOS code uses libsodium's `ARGON2ID13` with `opslimit=3`, `memlimit=47104*1024`, matching the Android `PARAMS_TAG`. We expect byte-identical output, but this has not yet been validated against a live Android computation. **Recommendation**: add the cross-platform fixture test to CI before merging the invite acceptance path to `main`.
