The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup and build-fix change for the Trezor firmware bootloader. It moves the bootloader's binary header definition from a shared security file into a bootloader-specific file, and fixes the build configuration for a special continuous-integration (CI) bootloader variant. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an exploitable security vulnerability; it appears to be a refactoring and build repair.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine refactor/build-fix. Reviewers may optionally verify that the relocated header definition is byte-identical to the removed one and that the CI bootloader produces a valid signed image, but no urgent security action is indicated by this commit alone.

Security signals we found

01

Bootloader header structure moved from shared security code to project-specific file

02

CI bootloader build configuration corrected to use correct header source and header tool

03

Signature mask and authenticated-size fields are still explicitly zeroed/placeholdered, with comments noting headertool_pq must fill them later
