The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the Monero GUI wallet's message-signing screen so that when a user verifies a signature, the app now reports extra details: whether the signature is valid, which key type was used (spend key, view key, or unknown), and whether it uses an older signing algorithm. It is a user-interface improvement to reduce confusion, not a fix for a vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as a normal feature/usability improvement. Reviewers may optionally verify that the new QML strings are translated and that the QVariantMap keys match the underlying Monero::Wallet::MessageSignatureResult structure.

Security signals we found

01

UI-only change to signature verification feedback

02

No modification to cryptographic verification logic

03

New method exposes already-existing signature metadata (key type, version, old algorithm flag)

04

Helps prevent user confusion between spend-key and view-key signatures
