The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit restores a security warning on the Specter DIY hardware wallet. When a user is about to sign a Bitcoin transaction that spends coins from more than one wallet, or from several unknown sources, the device now shows a clear 'mixed inputs' warning at the top of the confirmation screen. This helps protect against a known class of attack where a malicious co-signer or software wallet can trick the device into sending change to the wrong address, potentially stealing funds. The warning had existed before but was accidentally dropped during an earlier code refactor.

Recommended action

Users should upgrade to firmware containing this commit and verify that mixed-input transactions now display a clear warning before signing. Developers should review the new warning pipeline for consistency with other transaction checks and consider the documented plan to centralize all transaction warnings.
