The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new Python command and library function that lets a user ask a Trezor device for its hardware serial number. The device already had a way to provide this number; the change only exposes it through the PC-side tools and adds tests. There is no obvious security bug in the code shown, though making serial numbers easier to read could slightly help someone track or fingerprint a specific device.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-risk feature addition. Review the firmware-side `GetSerialNumber` handler to confirm it requires on-device user confirmation and that the serial number is not returned to unauthorized callers. No immediate patch is indicated by this diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

New host-side exposure of device-identifying information (serial number)

02

CLI command marked seedless, meaning it does not require a wallet seed

03

No input validation or access-control logic visible in the added code

04

Test includes a cancel flow, suggesting the device prompts the user before releasing the serial number
