The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds the ability to sign Bitcoin messages using keys in the m/45' keypath namespace, which is used by some external services like Unchained and Casa. Previously, message signing only worked for standard Bitcoin address keypaths. The change splits address derivation into a validated and an unvalidated variant, and adds a new keypath check for m/45' paths. It also updates the on-screen message to warn users that the key belongs to an external service, so they don't mistake it for a normal wallet address.

Recommended action

Review that derive_address_simple_unvalidated() cannot be reached from any other workflow without prior validation, and that the m/45' depth limit and script-config restrictions are sufficient for the intended external-service use case. Consider whether additional UI warnings or keypath depth restrictions are warranted.
