The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit tightens the rules for a Trezor message type called TextDetailsMemo, which is part of the SLIP-24 payment-request memo format. Previously the title and text fields were optional and defaulted to empty strings; now both are required. The change is defensive: it prevents a device from accepting a payment-request memo that omits the title or body text. Without this, a malicious or buggy host could send a payment request with an empty/incomplete memo and still have it treated as a valid TextDetailsMemo, potentially misleading the user about what they are approving.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-severity hardening fix. Verify that downstream/host software already sends both title and text, because making fields required can break compatibility with older hosts that omitted them. No urgent user action is indicated.
