The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes the on-screen confirmation message shown to users when a specific BIP85 entropy export is requested. Normally the device warns that it is exporting an encrypted seed phrase for a specific BIP85 index. For the exact combination of a 12-word seed phrase at index 26589, the device instead shows a friendly 'Scan successful! Continue to pair with wallet app.' message under the title 'Enable Swaps'. The underlying cryptographic operation is unchanged; only the user-facing text is different. This could mislead users about what is actually being exported, but it does not by itself bypass the user's approval button press.

Recommended action

Review whether the new prompt adequately informs the user that they are exporting encrypted BIP85 entropy. If the swap-recovery flow requires the same sensitive operation as a normal BIP85 export, consider adding a secondary confirmation or clearer wording that mentions entropy export, and document why index 26589 is trusted for this purpose.

Security signals we found

01

UI wording special-cased for a fixed BIP85 index (26589) and word count (12)

02

Friendly pairing message replaces explicit key-export warning for the same cryptographic operation

03

No change to entropy calculation, RPC parsing, or authorization gating
