improve reset instructions for trezor passphrase change
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes the wording of an on-screen instruction shown to users after they change the passphrase on a Trezor hardware wallet. It tells users to restart the device and adds guidance for battery-powered devices. There is no code behavior change and no security fix.
No security action needed. This is a user-experience wording improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies a single string in an alert dialog inside UsbStatusButton.java. The title changes from ‘Reconnect device’ to ‘Restart device’ and the message adds a note about holding the power button on battery-powered devices. No logic, service, event handling, or security boundary is altered.
