refactor(core): fix renamed micropython modules

This commit is a routine code cleanup that updates Trezor firmware to match a newer MicroPython version where built-in module names dropped the 'u' prefix (for example, 'uos' became 'os' and 'ustruct' became 'struct'). It renames imports, …

refactor(core): use mp_obj_new_str_from_vstr

This is a code cleanup change in Trezor's firmware that swaps one MicroPython internal helper for another. It replaces calls that create byte or string objects from a vstr buffer with newer, purpose-built helpers. The commit message says t…

Refactor only: helper function renames with equivalent semanticsNew str helper adds UTF-8 validation; bytes helper does not validateNo input validation, length, or error-handling changes observed

refactor(core): get rid of the STATIC macro

This commit is a large but purely mechanical code cleanup: it replaces the custom STATIC macro with the standard C keyword static across many MicroPython module files. There is no change to program logic, security boundaries, or behavior. …

tests: add regression test for hsmtool commands with passphrase

This commit only adds and updates a regression test in the project's test suite. It checks that the hsmtool utility correctly handles both empty and non-empty passphrases when working with BIP39 mnemonic-based wallet secrets. There is no c…

wallet: sign_message: strip whitespaces in GUIs, do not strip in CLI

This commit tidies up how Electrum handles extra spaces around Bitcoin addresses, messages, and signatures when signing or verifying messages. Previously, different parts of the program (desktop GUI, mobile-style GUI, command line) behaved…

wally: update libwally to v1.5.6

This commit updates the bundled libwally library to version 1.5.6. The practical effect is that calling the JSON-RPC `signpsbt` command on a PSBT that is already signed now succeeds as a harmless no-op, instead of returning an error on Bit…

qml: strip whitespace from message before signing, as in qt gui

This commit fixes a minor consistency bug in Electrum's newer QML (mobile-style) user interface. When signing a message, the app now removes accidental spaces at the start or end of the message and address, just like the older desktop Qt i…

fix: verify PSBT input amounts before showing the fee

This commit fixes a security flaw in Krux, a Bitcoin signing device. Before the fix, an attacker could trick the device into showing a low transaction fee on screen while actually signing a much higher fee. The fix makes the device verify …

fix: reject a PSBT whose outputs exceed its inputs

This commit fixes a bug in Krux, a Bitcoin signing device, where a malformed transaction whose outputs spend more than its inputs could be loaded and shown to the user. Normally such a transaction is impossible on the Bitcoin network, but …

This commit updates a bundled firmware component called MaixPy. The commit message says it fixes a 'Shannon heap overflow,' removes an unused random-number binding, and drops support for one hardware variant (Maix Bit). A heap overflow is …

Why commit watching?

Security should leave a paper trail.

A quiet fix may be responsible caution—or it may leave users unaware that their assets were ever at risk. CommitWatch preserves the evidence, adds context, and tracks whether vendors disclose, acknowledge, and learn.
