The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds an optional CRC-32 checksum feature to the Trezor production-test command-line interface (prodtest CLI). It is a data-integrity feature, not a fix for an existing security vulnerability. The change lets factory-test tools request that every command and response include a CRC checksum, helping detect accidental communication corruption. There is no indication in the commit that this addresses a known attack or security flaw.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine feature addition. Reviewers may verify that CRC parsing cannot be confused by short lines (the `len >= 9` guard is present) and that the response CRC state is reset correctly between commands. No security response is indicated by the commit itself.

Security signals we found

01

New optional integrity check added to CLI protocol

02

CRC validation rejects malformed or mismatched checksums with CLI_ERROR_INVALID_CRC

03

Feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled per session

04

No buffer overflow or memory safety issue visible in the diff

05

No mention of CVE, security bug, researcher credit, or advisory in commit
