The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the Zcash PCZT (Partially Created Zcash Transaction) library stack to a newer upstream test revision. It is a maintenance/dependency bump that adapts the firmware's code to new library APIs, adds error handling around serialization, and adjusts how Orchard/Ironwood transaction fields are handled for transaction signing. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known security vulnerability; it appears to be a routine dependency repin to keep up with an upstream test stack.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine dependency maintenance commit. Review the upstream changelog for the pinned revisions (valargroup/librustzcash 94d6e7fd and zcash/orchard 475ef0ff) to confirm whether any security fixes are included. Validate that the new serialization error paths are exercised in tests and that the zero-fallback sighash helpers cannot be reached with malformed real-world PCZTs.

Security signals we found

01

Dependency repin to newer pre-release upstream Zcash stack

02

Serialization now returns Result and errors are propagated instead of panicking

03

Optional PCZT v2 fields (cv_net, anchor, enc_ciphertext) now have fallback handling in sighash computation

04

Test fixtures updated to avoid relying on crate-private Orchard bundle layouts

05

No explicit security bug or CVE mentioned in commit message or diff
