The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a build cleanup, not a security fix. It makes sure the FIDO (WebAuthn/passwordless login) confirmation screen is only compiled into the universal firmware that supports altcoins and FIDO, and is left out of the smaller Bitcoin-only firmware build. Previously the code was included in all builds but returned a 'not implemented' error on Bitcoin-only devices. The change reduces unused code and build size; it does not patch a vulnerability or change runtime behavior in a security-relevant way.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal build/maintenance commit. If auditing, verify that BTC-only builds still fail safely when FIDO-related Python apps are invoked, but the diff already shows `NotImplementedError` is returned.
