The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a user-interface labeling bug where setting up a 'wipe code' (a special code that erases the device) was incorrectly shown using the same on-screen text and flow as setting up a regular PIN. The change renames the confirmation flow, adds a flag to distinguish wipe-code setup from PIN setup, and shows wipe-code-specific cancellation text on newer Trezor layouts. It is a UI clarity fix, not a cryptographic or access-control flaw.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-severity UI/UX fix. No urgent security response is indicated, but verify that the new `is_wipe_code` flag is passed correctly on all supported device variants and that translation signatures are valid for production builds.

Security signals we found

01

UI text mismatch between wipe-code setup and PIN setup is corrected

02

New `is_wipe_code` parameter added to Rust UI API and Python layouts

03

Wipe-code-specific cancellation string introduced in translations

04

No changes to PIN/wipe-code validation, storage, or cryptography

05

No privilege escalation, buffer overflow, or memory-safety issues visible
