The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small Python library fix for the Trezor hardware wallet's new Bluetooth-style pairing protocol (THP). It makes the client send the computer's real hostname and the application's name during pairing, instead of always sending a generic placeholder. This helps users see which app and computer they are pairing with on their Trezor screen. It is a usability and correctness improvement, not a security vulnerability fix.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal functional/usability fix. Reviewers may verify that host_name/app_name values are properly sanitized or length-limited by the firmware-side ThpPairingRequest handler, but the commit itself does not introduce a security issue.

Security signals we found

01

No vulnerability pattern: change only adds missing pairing metadata fields

02

No secrets, buffer handling, or trust-boundary changes

03

No privilege escalation, injection, or bypass introduced

04

UI fixture hash updates are expected side effect of changed displayed strings
