avax review
! Very short subject! Too few words to establish purpose! No meaningful explanatory body! Opaque security-relevant change
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code review and cleanup pass for the Avalanche (AVAX) app in the Keystone 3 hardware wallet firmware. It fixes typos in transaction type names, adds a few length checks before reading transaction bytes, replaces direct low-level signing with a safer helper, and consolidates signing code so AVAX, IOTA, and SUI share the same secure path. Most changes are defensive hardening and refactoring rather than a single obvious critical bug fix.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine hardening/refactoring commit. Reviewers should verify that the new bounds checks cover all parser entry points, that sign_message_by_seed handles low-S and recoverable ID correctly, and that the shared SignInternal helper is adopted consistently across other chains. No immediate incident response is indicated by the diff alone.
