The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a build-time race condition in the script that generates a list of internal string identifiers (called 'qstrs') used by the Trezor firmware. Previously, the generator could read a generated translation file while it was being updated, potentially producing an inconsistent list. The fix makes the generator read translation string names directly from the source translation file instead of from a generated file, and also excludes generated files from the grep search. This is a build-system reliability fix, not a runtime security vulnerability in the device itself.

Recommended action

Treat as a build hygiene fix. Verify that the generated `librust_qstr.h` remains deterministic and complete after clean and incremental builds, especially when translations are modified. No device runtime security response is indicated by this diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Race condition in code generation/build process

02

Generated file dependency in build script

03

Build reproducibility/determinism concern

04

No runtime cryptographic or memory-safety signal present in diff
