The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how number-entry prompts behave across the COLDCARD wallet interface. Previously, many prompts did not allow the user to cancel, so pressing the cancel button could be misread as entering '0' and the operation would continue. Now, canceling is explicitly allowed and the code checks for it, returning the user to the previous screen instead of proceeding with a default value. This is a user-experience and safety improvement rather than a remote-exploitable bug, but it prevents accidental or coerced confirmations in security-sensitive flows like exporting xpubs, creating multisig wallets, and signing messages.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine safety/UX fix. Reviewers should verify that every changed call site now checks for `None` before using the returned number, and that no remaining `or 0` fallback bypasses the new cancellation semantics. No emergency response is warranted.

Security signals we found

01

Default behavior change: numeric entry dialogs now allow cancellation by default

02

Multiple sensitive flows no longer treat cancel as confirmation/default value

03

New regression tests assert cancel preserves prior menu state

04

No cryptographic, memory-safety, or remote-attack changes present
