The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a UI bug in the Sparrow Bitcoin wallet where typing or pasting too many decimal digits into amount or fee fields could be silently truncated, potentially causing a user to send a different amount than they saw on screen. The fix now ignores extra digits beyond the selected unit's precision (for example, satoshis have no decimal places) instead of truncating them in the final payment. It is a user-experience and correctness fix rather than a remote-exploitable vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-severity correctness fix. Users should upgrade to avoid the small risk of sending an unintended amount or fee due to truncated decimals. No immediate incident response is required; no remote exploitation path is evident from the diff.

Security signals we found

01

Precision-loss / truncation bug in financial input fields

02

User-facing amount/fee mismatch between displayed value and parsed value

03

Input validation now tied to unit-specific precision (satoshis indivisible)

04

No cryptographic, network, or remote-code-execution changes
