The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a large but straightforward internal cleanup: the project switched from using the MicroPython `ubinascii` module's `hexlify`/`unhexlify` functions to the standard Python `bytes.hex()` and `bytes.fromhex()` methods. The change removes the `ubinascii` module from the firmware build and updates many source and test files to use the new built-in methods. There is no security fix or vulnerability being patched here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal refactor; verify tests pass and that no remaining runtime dependency on `ubinascii` exists.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
