upgrade usb4java to v1.3.6 to fix library load from application image
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates a dependency called usb4java from an older version to version 1.3.6. The stated reason is to fix a problem where a required native library fails to load when Sparrow Wallet is packaged as an application image. This is a build/packaging reliability fix rather than a clear security patch. Without seeing the actual code change or any vendor security advisory, it is difficult to tell whether this also fixes a security vulnerability in the library itself.
Review the actual diff to confirm the scope of the usb4java upgrade. Check the usb4java 1.3.6 release notes for any security fixes. If Sparrow Wallet distributes application images, verify that hardware wallet USB connectivity works correctly after the upgrade. Treat this as a routine dependency update unless additional security context emerges.

Evidence from the diff
The commit upgrades usb4java to v1.3.6 with the stated goal of fixing native library loading from an application image. usb4java is a Java wrapper around libusb, used by Sparrow Wallet to communicate with USB hardware wallets. A failed library load could prevent hardware wallet integration from working, but the commit message frames this as a fix for library loading, not as a security fix. The diff is unavailable, and no verified references are provided, so any security implications are speculative.
