consensus_encoding: clean up test comment
Adding a note to the SliceEncoder::advance optimization. This behavior
is technically exposed, a user could somehow manage to depend on it,
so it should be tested just to make sure changes are flagged.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a test comment. It removes two commented-out test lines and adds a brief explanatory note about an existing optimization. No code behavior was changed, and there is no security relevance.
No action needed. This is a non-functional comment-only cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies a single test in consensus_encoding/src/encode/encoders.rs. It deletes a FIXME comment and two commented-out assertions, replacing them with a comment explaining that SliceEncoder::advance skips over empty chunks. No executable code, logic, or public API changed.
