The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new setup screen and settings for choosing how the wallet fetches the Monero-to-fiat exchange rate. Users can now pick Tor-only (the default), clearnet (direct internet), or disabled. The clearnet option fetches the rate directly from Kraken's API without routing through Tor, which the app labels as 'not private.' This is a privacy-relevant change, not a code-execution vulnerability, because it lets users intentionally trade some privacy for reliability. The commit also renames many 'connection' labels to 'LWS' (light-wallet server) to avoid confusion with the new fiat API connection.

Recommended action

Reviewers should verify that the clearnet path cannot be silently forced on users, that the default remains Tor-only after upgrades, and that the Kraken endpoint and JSON parsing are robust against malformed responses. Consider adding certificate pinning or a known-endpoints allowlist if not already present elsewhere, and ensure the fiat API mode setting is included in any privacy documentation.
