The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in the Trezor firmware's Rust layer. It introduces a dedicated helper module for creating MicroPython exceptions and refactors existing error handling to use those helpers. There is no direct evidence in the commit that it fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be a maintainability refactor that also enables future custom exception types.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as routine refactoring. If auditing, verify that the new `new_exception*` wrappers preserve the previous behavior (e.g., argument count and exception type mapping) and that any future custom exceptions defined with `define_exception` are not used to bypass error-handling semantics.

03

Adds capability to define new MicroPython exception types, but no new exception is actually defined

04

No bounds-checking, memory-safety, or cryptographic changes visible in diff
