The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors the Ledger Bitcoin app to use the newer Ledger SDK 'standard app' framework for main I/O loops and swap (exchange) integration. It removes a lot of custom boilerplate code and replaces it with SDK-provided equivalents. The change also enables the SWAP feature by default in the Makefile. There is no direct evidence in the diff of a security vulnerability being fixed; it appears to be a modernization and code-cleanup change. However, because it touches core app lifecycle, I/O, and swap handling code, any mistake in the transition could affect app stability or swap security.

Recommended action

Treat this as a high-touch refactor requiring careful review and regression testing, especially for swap flows, APDU handling, device lifecycle (power/USB/BLE), and the removal of custom I/O functions. Verify that the SDK standard-app replacements preserve the same security invariants (e.g., timeout behavior, exception handling, swap isolation, mainnet AUTOAPPROVE guards). No immediate security patch action is indicated by the diff alone, but validation is warranted before release.

Security signals we found

01

Large refactor of application lifecycle and I/O event handling

02

Swap feature enabled by default (ENABLE_SWAP = 1)

03

Removal of custom io_event and io_exchange_al implementations

04

Migration from custom globals.h to SDK standard-app globals

05

Change in APDU error path: BAD LENGTH now continues loop instead of returning

06

Removal of HAVE_APPLICATION_FLAG_* block reordering and AUTOAPPROVE_FOR_PERF_TESTS guard consolidation
