The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit re-introduces Zcash-related firmware version reporting that had been temporarily reverted. It makes the device include its firmware version when generating Zcash wallet connection data and stamps the same version into every signed Zcash transaction response. The change also fixes two simulator-only stability issues: a crash when a text area is destroyed while keyboard events are still being processed, and a scheduling mismatch that made simulator background tasks run immediately instead of in order. There is no direct evidence in the commit that these changes fix an active security vulnerability; the Zcash additions are a feature/resumption, and the simulator fixes are development-environment hardening.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal feature/bugfix commit. Review the Zcash version stamp design to confirm wallets actually validate the reported firmware version, since the device does not enforce any minimum. For the simulator fixes, verify the FIFO queue and use-after-free guard do not mask real-device concurrency issues. No urgent security patch is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

New build.rs reads src/config/version.h and panics if version macros are missing or non-u8

02

Zcash account sync UR now carries device firmware version

03

Signed PCZT responses stamped with keystone:fw_version in global.proprietary

04

Firmware does not enforce a minimum version; enforcement is left to the wallet

05

Simulator-only hardening: skip unhandled LV events in keyboard handler to avoid use-after-free

06

Simulator-only hardening: FIFO async task scheduling instead of synchronous/LIFO execution
