The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new convenience feature: after deriving a secret using the BIP-85 standard, the COLDCARD can now type that secret out as USB keyboard keystrokes for all supported secret types (seed words, xprv, WIF, hex, password). Previously this USB typing was only available for password-type secrets. The change also cleans up how the on-screen prompt offers the '(6)' keystroke option. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security bug; it appears to be a user-experience feature addition.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Reviewers may want to confirm that sending secrets as USB keystrokes requires the same user confirmation (single_send_keystrokes) as before and that the feature is only reachable through the existing authenticated BIP-85 menu flow.
