The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes test files for the Ledger Bitcoin app. It adds and updates automated tests to verify that the app correctly accepts derivation paths up to a defined maximum length and rejects paths that are too long. There are no changes to the actual app code that runs on the device, so this commit does not introduce or fix a security vulnerability by itself. It appears to be a follow-up testing patch related to separating two internal constants about path length limits.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Review the companion non-test commit that actually changes MAX_BIP388_XPUB_DERIVATION_STEPS and MAX_BIP32_PATH_STEPS in the firmware to ensure the limits and error handling are implemented safely.

Security signals we found

01

Boundary/limit testing added for derivation path lengths

02

Tests assert IncorrectDataError / WrongDataLengthError for over-limit paths

03

No application/firmware code changes in this commit
