The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new feature to the Keystone 3 hardware wallet that lets approved Bitcoin apps (like Babylon) request a special cryptographic hash derived from the wallet's seed. The wallet shows the user the connected Bitcoin address and, after approval, returns a 32-byte hash. The code includes checks to limit which apps can ask, which Bitcoin networks are accepted, and which derivation paths can be used. It also adds a testnet display toggle for Bitcoin receive addresses. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known security vulnerability; it appears to be a feature addition.

Recommended action

Treat this as a feature commit rather than an emergency security patch. Reviewers should verify that the address-display verification cannot be bypassed, that the app allow-list and path validation are enforced identically in both the parser and the generator, and that the UI always shows the same address that is verified. Users on multi-coins firmware should ensure they only approve `derive-context-hash` requests from trusted Babylon applications and carefully compare the displayed Bitcoin address before confirming.
