The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors the internal state tracking of the Trezor hardware wallet's THP (Trezor Host Protocol) Rust code so the channel can count how many times it has retransmitted a message. It also exposes that retry count to callers and adds a helper function for calculating how long to wait before retrying. The change is defensive: it makes the protocol more observable and easier to limit in the future, but it does not by itself fix a known exploitable bug.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as a routine refactor. If reviewing a larger change set, verify that the application layer using this library actually enforces a maximum retry count and uses retransmit_after_ms() to avoid infinite retransmission loops or denial-of-service conditions.

Security signals we found

01

Adds retransmission-attempt counter to THP channel state

02

Exposes retry count via new public sending_retry() API

03

Adds public retransmit_after_ms() timeout helper

04

Does not enforce a retry limit; leaves that to the application layer

05

Refactors enum variants to named-field structs for future extensibility
