The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit hides certain wallet features in the Cake Wallet app when they cannot actually work—specifically for hardware wallets, air-gapped wallets, and wallets that do not contain a private key. The changes prevent users from seeing or tapping options like Payjoin, Lightning, silent payments, message signing/verification, MWEB, and some log exports when those features are unsupported. It is a defensive UI fix rather than a patch for an active exploit.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine hardening/UI consistency fix. Review whether any of the hidden features are still reachable through deep links, shortcuts, or state manipulation, and verify that backend code also rejects unsupported operations rather than relying solely on UI gating.

Security signals we found

01

UI-level hiding of features that would fail or behave incorrectly on wallets without required keys/capabilities

02

New capability predicates tied to private-key presence and hardware-wallet type

03

Reduction of user-facing attack surface where broken options could be invoked

04

No cryptographic, input-validation, or authorization logic changes observed
