The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds automated tests for an existing firmware feature called 'deltamode' trick PINs. It does not change the actual COLDCARD firmware code that users run. The tests confirm that when a deltamode trick PIN is active, the device produces an intentionally invalid Bitcoin signature and does not wipe the seed. No security bug is introduced or fixed here.

Recommended action

No security action required. This is a test-only commit. Reviewers may optionally confirm the new tests accurately reflect the intended deltamode behavior documented elsewhere.
