The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds and reorganizes a 'Spending Policy' feature for the COLDCARD hardware wallet. It lets owners set rules (daily limits, allowed addresses, time delays, web 2FA) that block or allow transaction signing. The change is a feature implementation, not a reported security bug fix. There is no vendor statement that this commit fixes a vulnerability, and no independent researcher is credited.

Recommended action

Review the new SSSP enforcement logic for bypass or ordering bugs, verify that policy-disabled states cannot be circumvented, and ensure the web2fa flow cannot be skipped. Treat as a normal feature commit unless additional security context emerges.
