The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit improves the on-screen error messages shown when a Blockstream Jade hardware wallet cannot generate a TOTP (time-based one-time password) code because the device does not know the current time. It does not change the security rules or fix a vulnerability; it only makes the failure message clearer to the user, suggesting they unlock the device with the Blockstream app to set the time.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as a normal UX/clarity improvement. If reviewing, verify that all callers of otp_set_default_value() were updated and that the new enum values are handled appropriately.

Security signals we found

01

No change to access control, authentication, or cryptographic logic

02

No change to input parsing or trust boundaries

03

Error return path still prevents OTP generation when time is unset

04

Commit title and message describe UX improvement, not a security fix
