Yeah this is pretty crazy. been reading about Entropy in Seed Phrases and don't know wtf that means. just make up 12 words or whatever. I guess because of Engineering, it's more complicated than that.
apparently, Coldcard’s BIP-39 pipeline preserved syntactic validity while catastrophically collapsing the min-entropy of its upstream state space. The checksum verified formatting, not stochastic adequacy; deterministic PRNG state leakage reduced brute-force complexity from cryptographically infeasible to enumerable. BIP-39 remained intact. The entropy source failed, champ.
