The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a pure refactoring of the project's unit tests. It replaces manually initialized static mock dispatcher objects with heap-allocated ones managed by cmocka test fixtures, and moves hash-pool reset into the common setup function. There is no change to the actual Ledger Bitcoin app firmware or its security-critical code, so this commit does not introduce or fix any user-facing security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/test-maintenance change. If desired, verify that the unit-test suite still passes and that the new heap allocations are properly freed on all teardown paths.

Security signals we found

01

No changes to production firmware code

02

No changes to cryptographic or APDU handling logic

03

Refactoring confined to unit-test harness and fixtures

04

Heap allocation introduced only in test mock setup/teardown
