The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how Keystone's Zcash firmware checks and parses batches of partially-created shielded transactions (PCZTs). It merges what used to be separate validation and display steps into a single pass, adds a new public function for batch PCZTs, and adds tests for Ironwood spends and Orchard-to-Ironwood migrations. The change is described by the vendor as a refactor, not a security fix, and no independent security references are supplied.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine refactor. Reviewers should verify that the single-pass path does not skip any checks present in the previous separate check-then-parse flow, and that the new value-balance recomputation correctly handles all edge cases (e.g., all-dummy actions, negative value balances). No immediate security response is indicated by the supplied materials.

Security signals we found

01

New validation+parse single-pass path for batch PCZTs

02

Recomputes shielded bundle value balance and compares against declared value_sum

03

Adds account-index boundary test (account 1 returns PcztNoMyInputs)

04

Refactors existing parse logic into reusable helpers with no obvious removal of checks

05

No vendor statement of security relevance or CVE in commit message
