What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny code cleanup that removes an unused 'self' parameter from a static method. It does not change what the code does or fix any security problem. It is a follow-up to a previous commit.
No action needed; this is a non-security code-quality follow-up.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change converts a @staticmethod from ‘def derive_privkey(self, pw, salt)’ to ‘def derive_privkey(pw, salt)’. Static methods do not receive an implicit instance argument, so the ‘self’ parameter was dead code. Removing it is purely cosmetic/preventive and has no functional or security effect.
