Reason:
Previously poseidon2 encryption packed (encryption_nonce, L) into a single field element assuming a 128-bit nonce, but this was only documented in a TODO comment and never enforced. Callers could pass arbitrary field elements as nonces, breaking the intended 128-bit nonce invariant and making the encoding less clearly injective from a security/analysis point of view.
