Research direction

Start by reproducing test vector 2 with keytool's address-index, full-address-derivation-path, and address-pkh entry points, then trace how those commands select derivation paths and address formats. Compare the output with the reported 44h expectation and segwit observation; done means the behavior is clarified or corrected and covered by repeatable test vectors.

Description

Abstract

Testing 7604c8089008896bf86c7c18c800aeb86fe5f83e

Test vector 1
seed_lethekit=$(seedtool --in ur ur:crypto-seed/oyadgdvlpfssfwmkztcebbnyzowkspnljlrhdkztykahhf)

keytool \
    --seed $seed_lethekit \
    --address-index '*' \
    output-descriptor

result OK, matches with lethekit:

wpkh([b238a845/84h/0h/0h]xpub6D1GQL3S3qryEx5gQccdVB5Fy1ePkeDGU8bMmW1GKfDQvtBsbJ6FaaudsBphw2WwtjYyJ4ARR6Mh9ZRTTKqro6eZww2m6SVxG7WuY2DALVp/0/*)

descriptor_wpkh

Test vector 2
# address wpkh not supported only pkh and sh?
for (( i=0; i <= 9; ++i ))
do
    keytool \
    	--seed 1eb5338edac6fae54cbb172091ae6c1a \
    	--address-index $i \
    	address-index \
    	full-address-derivation-path \
    	address-pkh
done

Result:

Here I noticed no support for segwit addresses? Also, the output shows segwit derivation path (84h) when address-pkh specified (44h) -> Not OK.


You can generate more test vectors for a particular seed (e.g. lethekit_seed/mnemonic: together mail awful cradle scrub apart hip leader silk slice unusual embark) in https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
