The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds new automated unit tests for Merkle-tree helper functions in the Ledger Bitcoin app. It does not change any production firmware code, so it cannot by itself introduce a security vulnerability or fix one. The tests exercise functions that verify Merkle proofs, retrieve leaf data, and stream key-value map entries.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal quality/test-coverage improvement. Reviewers may optionally confirm the tests pass in CI and that the mock dispatcher behavior accurately reflects the real protocol.

Security signals we found

01

No production code changes

02

Only unit-test files and CMake build definitions added

03

Tests validate expected failure modes (wrong root, out-of-bounds index, unknown hash, buffer too small, unsorted tree)
