The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a build-system refactor that unifies how firmware image headers are generated for the BitBox02 and BitBox03. It replaces a device-specific Python script and a C header placeholder with a shared Python tool and JSON manifests, and removes an older intermediate 'prepare unsigned stage1' step. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability being fixed or introduced; the changes are structural and add more validation and tests.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal build-system refactor. Review the new validation rules and test coverage for completeness, but no immediate security response is indicated by the commit content alone.

Security signals we found

01

New input validation in image_header.py for magic, flags, product_id, monotonic_version, marketing_version, image length, and zeroed signature slots

02

Rust parsing now validates slot length, header length alignment, and image length bounds before deriving code length

03

Removal of prepare-stage1-unsigned path reduces attack surface in build tooling

04

Added test/scripts/test_image_header.py compatibility tests against shipped stage1 binaries
