The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new feature to Coldcard hardware wallets: when verifying ownership of a Bitcoin address, users can now include a wallet name in the BIP-21 URL (for example, bitcoin:address?wallet=my_wallet). This tells the Coldcard to search only that specific multisig wallet, rather than checking all wallets. It is a user-facing convenience feature, not a security fix, and does not appear to introduce any obvious vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature review. If desired, verify that the 'wallet' query parameter value is properly sanitized and cannot be used to inject unexpected behavior into MultisigWallet.iter_wallets(), though the current implementation performs a simple string equality check against stored wallet names.
