Description

## Task summary

- currently light protocol messages are not handled (ie they are received and decoded, but that's it)
- need to implement handling of `LightRequest` and `LightResponse` messages

## Specification reference

- this is currently not spec'd so I would say this is not needed for the time being

Research direction

Start in the dot/network message decoding path and trace where LightRequest and LightResponse are received but not handled. Review the existing message-handling flow and determine the required behavior, since the issue notes that no specification exists yet. Done requires implementing handling for both message types and verifying their behavior.
