The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes the 'ipc' feature flag from three build scripts by default, and only enables it when external app loading is supported on the T3W1 model. IPC stands for inter-process communication, and these particular system calls were reportedly unused. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security vulnerability; it appears to be a cleanup or hardening change to reduce unused attack surface.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine hardening. If IPC syscalls had any implementation, review that code for residual unused entry points and ensure the feature flag fully gates compilation.

Security signals we found

01

Reduction of unused syscall/IPC attack surface

02

Feature gating of IPC to a specific model and external-app configuration

03

No changelog entry, indicating routine cleanup rather than security advisory

refactor(crypto): pass static public key to `noise_xxpsk3_*_init()`

This commit changes how a cryptographic library sets up secure connections. Previously, the code automatically calculated the public key from the private key. Now, the caller must provide the public key directly. This is a code-quality ref…

refactor(crypto): change order of parameters

This commit simply reorders the arguments of an internal function called dh() and updates every place that calls it. The actual math and security behavior are unchanged; it is a code cleanup with no security effect.
