Research direction

Start with the ExtrinsicInclusionMode decoding path and compare it with the runtime-version handling used around it. Reproduce the failure described in the linked Substrate Stack Exchange question, then verify that older runtimes avoid this decode while supported runtimes retain the expected behavior.
