note that phone cannot be in airplane mode for NFC PushTx to work
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a user-facing help message in the COLDCARD firmware. It adds a reminder that the phone must not be in airplane mode when using the NFC PushTx feature. There is no code behavior change, no bug fix, and no security patch.
No security action needed. Treat as a documentation/clarification change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies a single string in shared/actions.py inside the pushtx_setup_menu function. The existing message already stated that NFC is required; the new sentence clarifies that airplane mode must be off. No logic, cryptography, network handling, or NFC implementation was altered.
