What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup commit in Trezor's Python firmware tooling. It moves hardcoded developer-only signing keys from one internal file to a shared models file and slightly reorganizes how public keys are looked up. The keys themselves remain in the repository and are still labeled as development keys. There is no indication this fixes a security vulnerability or changes device behavior.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine refactoring. If reviewing broader security posture, verify that development keys are never used in production signing workflows and that the TODO production root key lists are populated with real keys before release.

Security signals we found

01

Hardcoded development signing keys present in source code

02

Refactor of key handling code without changing key material

03

No changelog entry and commit title describes chore/cleanup

04

Production root key lists remain empty TODOs
