fix(python): restore `TrezorClient.cancel()` behaviour

It should only send `messages.Cancel()`, so the main flow will receive the `ActionCancelled` failure.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a behavior quirk in the Python Trezor client library's cancel() method. Previously, calling cancel() on a TrezorClient object would use a session-level cancel that swallowed the Cancelled exception, which could hide the fact that the operation was cancelled from the main application flow. The fix makes cancel() simply send a Cancel message and lets the normal flow receive the ActionCancelled failure. This is a library-side correctness fix; it does not appear to be a security vulnerability in the hardware wallet firmware itself.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal bugfix / behavior restoration in the Python client library. Reviewers may verify that downstream callers of TrezorClient.cancel() now correctly observe ActionCancelled/Failure responses.

Security signals we found

01

Behavior correction in client library cancel handling

02

No firmware or cryptographic code changed

03

No privilege escalation, buffer overflow, or authentication bypass present in diff

04

Test coverage expanded for both session and client cancel paths
