chore(core): remove no-longer compatible secmon images
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply deletes two old binary files used by the T3W1 hardware model's secure monitor. The commit message says they are 'no-longer compatible' and explicitly marks '[no changelog]', meaning it is treated as a routine cleanup rather than a security fix. There is no code change, patch, or explanation of any vulnerability.
No immediate security action is indicated. If monitoring this repository, watch the following commits for any replacement secmon images or related source changes, and check the project's changelog/advisories for any later security note about T3W1 secure monitor compatibility.
Security signals we found
Deletion of pre-built secure-monitor binary images for T3W1 model
Commit message frames change as compatibility cleanup, not security
No source-code diff or patch content available (binary files only)
Evidence from the diff
The diff removes two binary blobs (secmon.bin and secmon_DEV.bin) from core/embed/models/T3W1/secmon/. No source code is modified, no vulnerability description is provided, and no advisory or CVE is referenced. The removal could be ordinary housekeeping for outdated firmware images, a build-hygiene change, or preparation for a replacement. Without the vendor or an independent researcher stating a security reason, this is not classifiable as a security fix.
