The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a deadlock in the Trezor hardware wallet's USB communication protocol (THP). Previously, when sending data, the device would stop reading incoming USB messages while waiting to re-send data, which could cause both sides to get stuck. The fix makes the device keep reading incoming messages in parallel with retransmissions, so delayed acknowledgments no longer freeze communication.

Recommended action

Treat as a security-relevant bug fix and include in release notes. Ensure the new `test_delay_acks_from_host` device test passes on all supported T3W1 firmware builds. No immediate user action is required beyond applying the firmware update.

Security signals we found

01
