The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit reorganizes Zcash support in a hardware-wallet firmware so that advanced privacy features (the 'Orchard' shielded pool) are only included when a special 'cypherpunk' build feature is enabled. The default build keeps only transparent and Sapling support, which shrinks the firmware binary. The changes are mostly compile-time feature flags and duplicated code paths for the smaller default build. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an exploitable security bug; it is a build-size and feature-gating change.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine firmware-size optimization with minor defensive hardening. Review that the new default multi_coins build still validates transparent and Sapling PCZT fields correctly and that disabling Orchard does not accidentally skip required checks. Verify the lock_time error-handling path is covered by tests. No urgent security response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Feature-gating of privacy-sensitive Orchard shielded-pool code

02

Removal of .expect() panics in favor of fallible error returns for lock_time resolution

03

Build-system change that could affect which cryptographic code is compiled into production firmware

04

No explicit security bug, CVE, or vulnerability description in commit message or diff
