OP_INTERNALKEY is a new BIP342 tapscript only opcode (upgraded using OP_SUCCESS semantics) that takes bytes 1-32 (0-index, inclusive) from the BIP341 taproot control block and places them on the stack. This BIP describes that behavior.

representing more than 1 signer; the parties may wish to collaborate on signing
with the taproot internal key, but only with additional script restrictions. In

Can you give an example where using the key path with an aggregate key and having every participant enforce the additional restrictions themselves (i.e. only signing if they're met) wouldn't suffice?

The most obvious case would be lightning symmetry where the parties want to pre-sign with CTV+CSFS to create a rebindable update transaction.

Has this proposal been discussed on the mailing list?

[BIP 342]), `OP_INTERNALKEY` replaces `OP_SUCCESS203` (0xcb). `OP_INTERNALKEY`
pushes the taproot internal key, as defined in [BIP 341], to the stack.

Additional useful feature: ability to inspect the tweak to a key (in combination with some OP_TWEAKVERIFY).

That would require additional introspection beyond just INTERNALKEY too, wouldn't it?

Yes, something like TWEAKADD or TWEAKVERIFY.

nit: might be nice to mark "taproot internal key" as a formal term, either by italicizing, backticks or the like. I find that marking terms that invoke a suite of definitions and properties is really helpful. We do it a lot in the BOLTs and I'd recommend doing it in the BIPs as much as we can.

This seems close to ready for a merge, although I am wondering whether it has gotten enough review from the community. I noticed that both this PR and the mailing list thread were not that active.

Perhaps you could elaborate how OP_INTERNALKEY would save 8 vB, for example in a footnote. (I assume it’s an x-only key of 32 bytes, and otherwise you’d need a PUSH and the 32 bytes, but with OP_INTERNALKEY you only need only that one byte instead. But if I had to think about that, maybe others would also appreciate an explanation.

It seems to me that this should be perhaps a bit more specific what exactly is being pushed to the stack. I assume this is referring to

Let p = c[1:33] and let P = lift_x(int(p)) where lift_x and [:] are defined as in BIP340. Fail if this point is not on the curve. […] q is referred to as taproot output key and p as taproot internal key.

but it would not hurt to clarify.
