Description
This is technical debt that I need to pay down in the relatively near future. We pass the Nonce serialized to 32 bytes when we should be passing a serialized representation of the type (likely hubpack). Making this change requires coordination w/ usptream consumers. My inclination is to delay doing this till the R18 / R19 crush dies down.

Research direction
Start by locating the attest IDL/interface and the Nonce serialization path, then identify the upstream consumers that must coordinate the change. The work is done when the interface uses the serialized Nonce representation rather than a fixed 32-byte value and affected consumers are updated.
