The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how the Trezor firmware build system handles source-line information in its embedded MicroPython interpreter. Previously, enabling or disabling source-line data required rebuilding the MicroPython cross-compiler. After this change, the same compiler binary can include or omit source lines via a command-line flag. This is a build-system convenience and optimization; it does not fix a vulnerability in user-facing code.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal build-system refactor. If reviewing the companion MicroPython PR, verify that the new -X source-lines/no-source-lines flag does not change bytecode semantics or introduce parser/compiler bugs.

Security signals we found

01

Build-system change only; no runtime cryptographic or memory-safety code modified

02

Source-line metadata can aid debugging but is not a security boundary

03

No mention of vulnerability, CVE, or security fix in commit message or diff

04

Commit is tagged [no changelog], indicating routine/internal improvement
