The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new wallet-export feature to COLDCARD firmware: it lets users export a BIP-380 "key expression" (a compact text string containing the master fingerprint, derivation path, and extended public key). The change is a user-facing feature addition, not a bug fix. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this resolves a security vulnerability. The export is marked as privacy-sensitive but not secret, consistent with normal public-key export behavior.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal feature review: verify the new export uses existing export_contents() protections, that the custom path picker cannot be abused to leak non-public material, and that the fallback xfp=0 does not produce ambiguous key expressions in unusual factory-reset states.
