The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors error handling in the Trezor Python client library and command-line tool. It removes some custom exception types and moves error printing into a shared helper. The changes appear to be a cleanup following an earlier pull request, not a fix for an active security vulnerability. There is no indication in the commit that this addresses a security issue.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine code-quality/maintenance change. If reviewing for defense in depth, verify that the removed uninitialized-device check and the removed 'Unexpected Code Entry Tag' failure translation are adequately covered by device-side firmware checks or other callers, so that downstream CLI behavior does not regress.

Security signals we found

01

Removal of explicit uninitialized-device guard in get_session()

02

Removal of custom exception types for uninitialized derivation and invalid code-entry tag

03

Refactoring only; no changelog entry requested
