upgrade bcprov to v1.82 and pgpainless to v1.7.7
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates two cryptography-related software libraries (Bouncy Castle and PGPainless) to newer versions in a component called 'drongo'. Such updates are often routine maintenance, but can also fix security bugs in how the wallet handles encryption and digital signatures. Without seeing the actual code changes or release notes, we cannot tell whether this fixes a specific security problem or is just a general upgrade.
Review the actual diff and the release notes for Bouncy Castle 1.82 and PGPainless 1.7.7 to determine whether this upgrade addresses any security vulnerabilities. If it does, verify that the upgraded versions are deployed and consider whether users of prior Sparrow Wallet versions need guidance.

Commit message does not mention security, CVE, or vulnerability
Evidence from the diff
The commit title indicates a dependency bump of bcprov (Bouncy Castle Provider, a Java cryptography library) from an unspecified earlier version to 1.82, and pgpainless (an OpenPGP library) to 1.7.7, within the ‘drongo’ module/file. The diff is unavailable, and no release notes or vulnerability advisories were supplied. Dependency upgrades of cryptographic libraries may address CVEs, compatibility issues, or bugs, but the commit message does not state a security motivation.
