The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new factory-test command called tropic-tests-cleanup to the Trezor device's production-test firmware. The command erases leftover test data from secure chip slots so a device is not accidentally shipped with stray data from earlier tests. It also slightly broadens the conditions under which a PIN-change counter is reinitialized in the normal firmware. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability; it reads as a defensive manufacturing-hygiene improvement.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine hardening/cleanup change. Review the tropic.c counter-handling change independently to confirm that reinitializing a depleted change-PIN counter is the intended behavior and does not weaken anti-hammering protections. No urgent action is indicated by the commit alone.
