Research direction

Open event-schemas/schema/m.room.encrypted in the matrix-doc repository and inspect lines 27-35, focusing on the CiphertextInfo properties body and type. Compare their schema declarations with nearby required properties and determine the expected handling of absent fields. Done means the schema and its guidance consistently identify whether body and type are required.
