Description
Both PacketHandler and CCSDSPacketHandler are lacking error reporting / graceful failing when data is received that is incorrectly sized relative to the configured packet definition(s). Both of these should complain loudly when an "invalid" input is received and reject (possibly with optional configuration to pass it along anyway) the improperly sized data.

Research direction
Locate the built-in PacketHandler and CCSDSPacketHandler implementations and trace how configured packet definitions are used when data arrives. Define and implement the invalid-size error and rejection behavior, including whether pass-through configuration is supported, then verify both handlers report and handle incorrectly sized input consistently.
