The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a large merge that mainly adds a new 'prove you own a Spark address' feature to the Stack Wallet app, plus some related fixes. It also updates a dependency that handles SOCKS5 proxy connections and changes how the app decides whether it is running on a desktop or phone. The changes look like ordinary feature work rather than an obvious security patch, but a few areas could affect security: the new ownership-proof code uses private keys, the proxy library upgrade could change how Tor/proxy traffic is routed, and the desktop-detection refactor changes platform assumptions across the app.

Recommended action

Treat this as a feature merge requiring normal security review rather than an urgent vulnerability patch. Review the new Spark ownership proof implementation for correct private-key handling and side-channel risks, verify the socks5_proxy 2.x upgrade does not break Tor routing or leak clearnet requests, and confirm the Trocador onion authority change is intentional and consistent with upstream documentation. Run the newly added tests and consider adding tests for the _useTor logic edge cases.

Security signals we found

01

New cryptographic signing path added: SparkInterface.signMessage now delegates to Spark ownership proof creation using the wallet's private key and spark derivation path.

02

Ownership proof code rejects view-only wallets and blank messages, and searches a 100-address lookahead for the requested address before signing.

03

Dependency upgrade: socks5_proxy 1.0.3+dev.3 -> 2.1.1, which may change SOCKS5/Tor proxy behavior; a new test verifies hostname/onion routing through a fake SOCKS server.

04

Trocador exchange onion authority changed and Tor/proxy routing logic centralized; clearnet callers no longer pass isOnion explicitly.

05

Util.isDesktop now relies on an injectable platform object, which could affect security-relevant platform checks if misused elsewhere.

06

AdaptiveTextField gains trimPastedText=false and smart punctuation disable options, used in signing/verify/proof message fields to preserve exact byte content.
