The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new user-facing safety feature: SeedSigner now warns users when a Bitcoin transaction's fee is unusually high (more than 25% of the amount actually being sent to others, not counting change sent back to themselves). It is a defensive improvement, not a fix for an existing vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security response needed; this is a beneficial hardening feature. Users may want to review whether the 25% threshold and non-configurable nature meet their needs, as noted by the TODO in the code.

Security signals we found

01

New defensive warning for high transaction fees

02

New UI warning view (DireWarningScreen) added to PSBT signing flow

03

Threshold-based fee check relative to spend amount excluding change

04

No bug fix, privilege change, crypto change, or input validation change
