The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new factory/production-test command called tropic-stress-test. It is meant for manufacturing diagnostics and repeatedly exercises the Tropic secure chip's session, MAC-and-destroy, and signing functions to make sure the chip does not enter an alarm state. There is no indication this change fixes a security bug or introduces a vulnerability; it is a testing feature.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature addition. If desired, verify the new prodtest command is excluded from release firmware builds and that the moved constants do not expose sensitive configuration.

Security signals we found

01

New production-test CLI command added

02

Repeated cryptographic operations on secure element (Tropic)

03

Constants for mac-and-destroy slots moved to public header

04

No input sanitization beyond uint32 CLI parsing and slot-count bounds check

05

No privilege escalation or memory-unsafe patterns visible in diff
