The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward revert that removes a recently-added Zcash firmware-version reporting feature. It strips out code that embedded the Keystone firmware version into Zcash PCZT (partially-created transaction) responses and into Zcash wallet-connection QR data. The change also reverts two simulator-only UI/framework tweaks that were apparently part of the same feature branch. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability being fixed; it reads like a product decision to back out a feature.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal feature revert. If the reverted version-stamping feature was introduced because of a security or compatibility requirement, verify with the project maintainers why it was removed and whether any replacement is planned. No immediate security patch action is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Removal of compile-time firmware version extraction from src/config/version.h via build.rs

02

Removal of global.proprietary 'keystone:fw_version' stamp from signed Zcash PCZT responses

03

Removal of device_version field from Zcash wallet-connection UR generation

04

Reversion of simulator-only event-handler guard and async execution queue
