The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how the Keystone hardware wallet handles Zcash PCZT (partially-created transaction) files. Previously, after checking and signing a transaction, the device always returned the result in the newer v2 format. Now it remembers whether the incoming file was in v1 or v2 format and returns the signed result in the same version. This is a compatibility fix for wallets that only understand PCZT v1, not a fix for a vulnerability that lets an attacker steal funds.

Recommended action

Treat as a compatibility/bug-fix commit rather than a security patch. Reviewers should verify that parse_pczt_with_encoding correctly rejects malformed or missing version headers and that v1 serialization remains semantically equivalent to v2 for the supported transaction subset. No urgent security deployment is indicated.

Security signals we found

01

Behavioral change in serialization format selection

02

New parsing helper reads wire version from raw bytes

03

Test coverage added for v1 preservation

04

No input validation weakening observed

05

No cryptographic operation changes
