The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a performance and user-experience improvement for Zcash batch transactions on the Keystone 3 hardware wallet. It speeds up processing of multiple Zcash PCZTs by caching decoded viewing keys and spend-authorization keys across the batch, instead of re-deriving them for every transaction. It also adds a loading hint telling users that batch processing may take a few minutes. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability being fixed; the changes appear to be a refactor with added tests and UI feedback.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Treat as a routine performance refactor. Reviewers may want to verify that the new caching paths preserve the existing validation ordering and that the parity tests adequately cover Orchard, Ironwood, and migration-shaped PCZTs. Ensure the `BatchDisplayCache` lifetime and `ZcashCheckedPczt::free` behavior are correct in C/Rust FFI usage.

Security signals we found

01

Refactors key derivation caching for Zcash batch signing (SpendAuthCache)

02

Adds BatchCheckContext to cache decoded UFVK and WalletKeys across batch items

03

Fuses check and parse passes to reduce bundle walks and output trial-decryption

04

Introduces BatchDisplayCache to carry parsed display rows from check to parse stage

05

Adds parity tests asserting byte-identical normalization and equivalent display rows

06

Adds UI loading hint for long-running Zcash batch operations
