Cross-spec interop validation between ietf-act and ietf-ect: - new packages/interop/ sibling package (ietf-act-ect-interop) - 32 tests pass: shared claims, algorithm matrix, DAG structure, divergence handling, anti-goals - documents ES256 raw signature wire-compatibility - documents airtight typ separation (act+jwt vs exec+jwt) Hazards surfaced: - ACTLedger.append() silently accepts ECT Payload via duck-typing (both have .jti) — documented in interop README as a production hazard requiring external isinstance checks Session handoff: - SESSION-2026-04-12.md — snapshot of decisions, artifacts, open actions, and next-session starting points Also: session-end commit of hash-format fix propagation to packages/ect/ (the fix was applied to the old refimpl location but did not propagate through the parallel package-move agent).
