The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how the Trezor hardware wallet displays a long device name in its settings menu. Previously, if the device name was too long to fit on screen, the firmware would trigger a fatal error in debug builds. The fix allows the name to overflow visually instead of crashing. There is no indication this is a security vulnerability; it is a UI robustness fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal UI fix. If reviewing further, verify that overflowing text is rendered with an ellipsis or clipped safely and does not overlap touch targets.

Security signals we found

01

UI-only change with no cryptographic, authentication, or firmware-update logic touched

02

Removed/conditional fatal_error in debug builds for long subtext strings

03

Change is defensive: prevents a debug crash from a user-controlled display string (device name)
