README.md update build repro steps (were misordered before)
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates the README.md file to correct the order of steps for building a reproducible copy of the COLDCARD firmware. It changes documentation text: adding a step to change into the firmware directory, updating the example release tag and binary filename, and moving the directory change to stm32 after the checkout. There are no code changes and no security implications.
No security action needed. This is a routine documentation fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is a documentation-only change in README.md. It reorders the build reproduction instructions so users first clone, then cd into the firmware directory, download a firmware binary, checkout the matching tag, then cd into stm32 before running make. The example tag and binary filename are updated from 2023-12-21T1526-v5.2.2 to 2026-03-05T2052-v5.5.0. No source code, build scripts, or cryptographic logic is modified.
