Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Match the encrypted-frame version before rejecting plaintext packets.

A valid Foca header can begin with GRID; the serialized NodeId starts with generation, then the site-name length and bytes. Therefore, the four-byte prefix is not exclusive to encrypted frames. Check the encrypted version byte as well.

Suggested fix

-        KeyState::Plain if data.starts_with(&swim::crypto::MAGIC) => Err(Rejected::EncryptedWithoutKey),
+        KeyState::Plain
+            if data.starts_with(&swim::crypto::MAGIC)
+                && data.get(swim::crypto::MAGIC.len()).copied() == Some(swim::crypto::ENCRYPTED_VERSION) =>
+        {
+            Err(Rejected::EncryptedWithoutKey)
+        }

Review comment at @crates/operator/src/swim_runtime.rs at line 177:
Update the Plain-state guard in the match handling `KeyState` so it rejects an
unkeyed packet only when it starts with `swim::crypto::MAGIC` and the following
byte matches `swim::crypto::ENCRYPTED_VERSION`. Leave other plaintext packets,
including valid Foca headers with the same prefix, on the existing plaintext
path.
