The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes the Trezor Python library so that Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device support is only enabled when the user explicitly sets an environment variable or passes a command-line flag. Previously, BLE transport was always included in device discovery. The change is a defensive hardening measure, not a fix for a known exploit.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Users relying on BLE should set TREZOR_BLE=1 or use --ble. Review whether BleTransport has any additional security considerations when enabled.

Security signals we found

01

New opt-in flag for Bluetooth transport
