The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code-quality and accuracy improvement for how the Trezor firmware estimates how long PIN operations will take. It replaces a single coarse heuristic with finer-grained per-command timing estimates for the Optiga and Tropic secure chips, adds a helper that models the chip's security-event-counter throttling, and moves the estimate logic closer to the functions it describes. There is no direct security vulnerability being fixed; the change is about making progress-bar timing more accurate, which indirectly helps user experience and may make side-channel timing analysis slightly more predictable. The commit message says '[no changelog]' and does not claim to fix a security issue.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Reviewers may want to verify that the new timing estimates do not materially under-estimate operation duration on any supported hardware, which could cause a poor user experience but is not a security flaw. If using this commit for incident response, treat it as a maintenance/refactoring change rather than a vulnerability patch.
