The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes how the app's internal fuzz-testing harness behaves. It does not alter normal production behavior. The changes add compile-time guards so that certain safety relaxations (like skipping duplicate-public-key checks or forcing swap checks to run) are active only when the code is built in a special fuzzing mode. One small non-fuzzing change moves a Bech32 character table from a pointer into read-only data, which is a hardening improvement but not a fix for an exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

No urgent action. Review that CI builds for production firmware do not define FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION. Consider whether the .rodata charset change warrants a minor hardening note in release notes.

Security signals we found

01

Fuzz-only relaxations now guarded by FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION

02

No production code path weakened; production paths retain original checks

03

Bech32 charset moved from pointer to array to place it in .rodata

04

Commit title and message explicitly describe fuzzing-only gating
