The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a large feature commit adding Codex32 (BIP-93) secret encoding and Shamir secret sharing to COLDCARD firmware. It introduces new menu flows to generate, import, split, recover, and derive Codex32 shares, plus two COLDCARD-specific extensions (CW1 for BIP-39 entropy and CX1 for extended private keys). The commit also adds documentation, conformance vectors, and many tests. There is no indication of a security bug or vulnerability fix; it is a new feature implementation.

Recommended action

Review the new cryptographic implementation and integration for correctness, side-channel resistance, and secure handling of sensitive shares. Ensure the CW1/CX1 extensions are clearly communicated to users and that recovery software compatibility is understood. No immediate security patch is indicated.
