The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how the Ledger Bitcoin app displays transaction details on newer devices (Stax/Flex/Apex). It replaces a streaming, one-output-at-a-time review flow with a non-streaming 'simplified' flow for transactions with up to 16 external outputs, unifies warning messages, and moves warning screens to appear before the main transaction review. The changes are primarily a user-interface restructuring rather than a clear security fix, but they do widen the simplified-review path from 0/1 external outputs to up to 16 and change the order/timing of user warnings.

Recommended action

Treat this as a UX refactor with potential security-UX side effects. Reviewers should verify that: (1) showing up to 16 outputs in the simplified, non-streaming flow does not overwhelm the user or hide change outputs; (2) moving warnings before the review does not cause users to dismiss them without reading; (3) removing the explicit 'Spend from known account' authorization does not reduce protection for non-default wallet policies; (4) the high-fee warning remains prominent enough in the final screen; (5) buffer sizes for cached outputs and UI strings are sufficient and not overflowed. No immediate patch or incident response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

UI flow restructuring: simplified (non-streaming) review now handles up to 16 external outputs instead of only 0 or 1

02

Warning order changed: security-risk warnings are now shown before the transaction title/review for both simplified and streaming flows

03

Wallet authorization changed from a separate confirmation screen to a 'From' field embedded in the review

04

Warning text unified and made more explicit (e.g., 'Security risk detected', 'could spend more than you think')

05

External-inputs warning flag now set explicitly via st->warnings.external_inputs during input preprocessing

06

High-fee warning moved into the final validation screen instead of a separate warning screen

07

No cryptographic, parsing, or signature logic changes observed
