The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit rewrites the on-screen keyboard used to type text into the Trezor Safe 5 (Eckhart layout). It renames the component, removes a separate confirmation screen for empty labels, lets users submit an empty string directly, and allows cancelling even when nothing has been typed. The change is described as a UI/UX cleanup, not a security fix. There is no direct evidence in the commit that it patches an exploitable vulnerability, but removing an extra confirmation step for empty device names slightly changes the safety surface around user input.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine UI refactor. Review whether any downstream callers rely on the removed empty-string confirmation screen for safety-critical input (e.g., passphrase, seed labels, or device names). If the device-name field is the only consumer, the risk is low; if the same keyboard is reused for security-sensitive strings, consider re-enabling an explicit empty-value confirmation. No immediate patching is indicated by the diff alone.
