On rekey, it may help strengthen entropy to feed the last 32 bytes of keystream into the HKDF:

... The IV is initialized to 0 and incremented on every re-key event.

k0 = key
iv = 0
k0 = HKDF_EXPAND(prk=k0, hash=SHA256, info="BitcoinK_Rekey", L=32)
ks0, k1 = ChaCha20DRBG(k0, iv)[0:4064], ChaCha20DRBG(k0, iv)[4064:4096]
iv = iv + 1
k1 = HKDF_EXPAND(prk=k1, hash=SHA256, info="BitcoinK_Rekey", L=32)
ks1, k2 = ChaCha20DRBG(k1, iv)[0:4064], ChaCha20DRBG(k1, iv)[4064:4096]
iv = iv + 1
k2 = HKDF_EXPAND(prk=k2, hash=SHA256, info="BitcoinK_Rekey", L=32)
ChaCha20Forward4064DRBG(key) = ks0 || ks1 || ks2 || ...

We now have a bips repo PR and will continue community engagement there.

Is there any reference code (or other library?) for your x-only ECDH secret derivation? There are several places with Gordian Envelope, in particular for pairing between a coordinator or watchtower and holders of bitcoin keys where we'd like to encrypt the PSBTs. This would enhance the security of our current UR PSBT approach that a dozen wallet vendors support that can optionally be transported with animated QRs.

Yes, see

https://bip324.com/sections/code-review/ may also be helpful to navigate the jungle of the PRs.

Be aware that our key exchange encodes the EC points contributed from both sides using Elligator Swift.
