Description

In the current validator registration process, session keys are systematically rotated and set before registration even if those were already properly set. Following #39, we now have the code to read on-chain session keys and add this check to prevent this often unnecessary step.

Research direction

Start with the validator registration process and the session-key reading code introduced by #39. Trace where keys are rotated and set before registration, then verify that properly set on-chain keys are left unchanged while missing or incorrect keys still follow the existing registration flow.
