Research direction

Start by tracing the libp2p message-acceptance path for attestations and sync committees, then locate the existing attestation TODO and corresponding sync-committee handling. Compare the validation requirements before acceptance and verify that invalid messages are rejected for both message types. Done means both are validated before libp2p accepts them.
