Currently, if any input is not signed with SIGHASH_ALL/SIGHASH_DEFAULT, we show a generic warning.
There are potentially several aspects that might be changed:

  • we currently check that SUM(output_amounts) ≤ SUM(input_amounts); that check is too restrictive if inputs don't commit to the entire transaction (e.g.: SIGHASH_SINGLE; related issue Mark input as external PSBT Partial sign #123)
  • How should the UX reflect and handle those advanced use cases?

One way could be to have an "advanced" transaction validation mode, where all inputs (and their SIGHASH_FLAG if appropriate) and all outputs are shown on-screen.

To add a bit more context, all the browser extensions that I have interacted with circumvent this check completely by adding external dummy inputs if all the inputs their sighashes permit it. One typical use-case is listing an Ordinal NFT for sale.

if (st->inputs_total_amount < st->outputs.total_amount) {
PRINTF("Negative fee is invalid\n");
// negative fee transaction is invalid
SEND_SW(dc, SW_INCORRECT_DATA);
return false;
}

While it certainly doesn't answer the questions you posed w.r.t UX, one quick win could be changing the non negative fee check to only run if all inputs use a default sighash (SIGHASH_ALL/SIGHASH_DEFAULT).
