The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a developer-only mock/emulator for a new hardware component called N4W1. It is gated behind debug builds (PYOPT='0') and only for the T3W1 device model. It does not change normal user-facing wallet behavior; it only provides a way for engineers to simulate the N4W1 chip during testing.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal development/testing infrastructure. Ensure the N4W1 mock remains excluded from production (PYOPT != '0') builds and that DebugLink is disabled in release firmware, consistent with existing Trezor practice.

Security signals we found

01

New debug-only feature with no production impact

02

Gated by PYOPT='0' and T3W1 model checks

03

Uses existing DebugLink infrastructure (developer/test interface)

04

No privilege escalation, cryptographic, or storage bypass changes observed

05

Host-side emulator stores data in a local dbm file, not device secure storage
