The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes Linux and Tails-specific app-data handling, switches SQLite to a desktop-compatible implementation, and corrects a broken icon asset. It is primarily a compatibility and bug-fix patch. There is no direct evidence in the commit that it addresses a security vulnerability, but the changes touch sensitive areas: where wallet data is stored, how old data directories are migrated, and how Tor/SOCKS proxy settings are parsed on a privacy-focused OS (Tails).

Recommended action

Treat as a routine platform-compatibility fix. Reviewers should verify that linuxSymlinkSharedPreferences() handles concurrent runs safely, that the migration does not delete data before a successful copy, and that the new Tor SOCKS parsing fails closed when no valid proxy is configured. No urgent security response is indicated by the commit itself.

Security signals we found

01

Data directory migration logic copies and deletes user data directories, with potential for data loss if interrupted or if paths overlap

02

Symlink creation in linuxSymlinkSharedPreferences() runs with ambient filesystem privileges and could be influenced by environment variables (XDG_DATA_HOME, HOME)

03

Tor proxy parsing now relies on SOCKS_SERVER environment variable rather than hard-coded Tails port; misconfiguration could leak traffic if SOCKS_SERVER is unset or malformed

04

SQLite database factory is switched to FFI on desktop platforms, changing native library loading behavior

05

No explicit security claim, CVE, or researcher attribution in commit message or diff
