The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in Trezor's secure transport layer. It centralizes how error messages are sent and removes an outdated workaround where the device had to manually craft an error packet. The change also makes decryption failures on the device side send a proper error response instead of silently closing the channel. There is no indication this fixes an active security vulnerability; it appears to be a refactoring and robustness improvement.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/robustness refactor. Reviewers may want to confirm that the new SendingError state correctly handles retransmissions and that recoverable errors transition back to Idle safely.

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring of transport-layer error handling

02

Decryption failures now explicitly reported to peer via TransportError::DecryptionFailed

03

Removal of manual error packet construction in favor of centralized state machine

04

Test assertion un-skipped, indicating expected behavior is now enforced
