The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new 'session reset' command to the BitBox02 hardware wallet's USB protocol. It lets the host computer cleanly reset the device connection if a previous operation was interrupted, instead of leaving the device stuck mid-task. The change also fixes a minor timeout-handling issue for the existing INFO command so that merely checking the firmware version no longer keeps an abandoned operation alive. The commit is framed as a robustness improvement, not a security fix, and there is no disclosed vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal feature/robustness merge. Review that REQ_RESET cannot be abused to bypass UI confirmation or to reset a U2F workflow (the U2F-active BUSY check appears to cover this). Ensure the new command is authenticated by the same transport rules as CANCEL/RETRY. No immediate security patch is indicated by the commit content.

Security signals we found

01

New USB control command added to host-wallet protocol

02

Reset path cancels async task, resets Noise state, unlocks USB processing, and clears output queue

03

U2F UI ownership check prevents reset from interrupting an active U2F workflow

04

INFO request timeout behavior changed so version discovery does not refresh/extend operation timeout

05

Host library gates new command on firmware version >= 9.28.0
