Description
The C2SP spec for XAES-256-GCM details official test vectors for XAES-256-GCM implementations to check correctness. The xaes-256-gcm crate's test suite already contains the standard test vectors, but it is missing the accumulated randomized tests that are also specified. Adding these tests would improve the quality of the project's test suite and improve confidence that future changes don't cause regressions.

Research direction
Start in the xaes-256-gcm crate's existing test suite and compare its standard vectors with the C2SP XAES-256-GCM specification, especially the accumulated randomized tests section. Add coverage for the specified vectors, then run the crate's tests. Done means all accumulated randomized test cases pass alongside the existing suite.
