The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit improves the user warning shown when a Bitcoin transaction has an unusually high fee. Previously, the device calculated the fee as a percentage of the amount being sent. For transactions that send nothing to an outside recipient (for example, sending everything back to yourself or only carrying an OP_RETURN memo), the denominator was zero, so no percentage warning could be shown and the user might not be alerted if the fee consumed most of the funds. The patch now falls back to comparing the fee against the total value of all transaction inputs, and tells the user whether the warning is based on the send amount or on all inputs. It is a defensive hardening change, not a fix for an active exploit.

Recommended action

No urgent action required. Treat as a routine firmware hardening improvement. Users should keep firmware updated through normal vendor channels. Developers reviewing similar hardware wallets should verify that all-change and data-only transactions still trigger proportional fee warnings.
