The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new optional 'app_name' field to Trezor's Trusted Host Pairing (THP) credentials. It lets the device display both the application name and the host/browser name during pairing and connection prompts, making it clearer to users which app is requesting access. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability; it reads as a user-experience and metadata improvement.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine feature commit rather than a security patch. If reviewing for security, verify that the relaxed host_name/app_name validation does not allow ambiguous or misleading display strings that could confuse users during pairing approval, and confirm that app_name is sanitized before being shown on the device screen.
