The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a bug in the COLDCARD hardware wallet where cancelling out of the 'Set Nickname' screen would accidentally delete an existing nickname. The nickname is shown on the login screen to help users identify their device. The fix also corrects a related test helper that was not properly reading pre-login settings. There is no direct evidence this was a security vulnerability, but it could be a minor usability/reliability issue.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine bugfix and usability improvement. No urgent security action is indicated. Users relying on the login nickname for device identification may want to update once the release is available and re-set their nickname if it was lost.

Security signals we found

01

Loss of user-configured setting (nickname) on benign UI action (cancel)

02

Fix to prelogin settings_get test helper suggests prior test coverage of prelogin settings was incorrect

03

No authentication or cryptographic weakness visible in diff
