The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine internal code cleanup in the Python Trezor library. It moves the logic that answers the hardware wallet's mid-transaction definition requests from one module to another and changes the public API from accepting a callback function to accepting a definition source object. There is no indication this fixes or introduces a security vulnerability; it is a refactor to make the code easier to test and maintain.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal refactor: verify downstream consumers of `trezorlib.ethereum.sign_tx` and `sign_tx_eip1559` that previously passed `definition_provider` are updated to pass `definition_source` instead, since this is a breaking API change in the library.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant behavior change: the same request/response flow and cancellation-on-exception logic is preserved.

02

API surface change: parameter renamed from `definition_provider` to `definition_source` and type changed from callable to `definitions.Source`.

03

Test refactor: callbacks replaced with mocked `Source` objects to assert which source methods are called.

04

No new parsing, no new trust assumptions, no relaxed validation, and no new network or filesystem access introduced.
