xquic — Field section larger than the client's advertised maximum

Inconclusive

The run did not exercise this test: the connection failed during the handshake (detected an error with protocol compliance that was not covered by more specific error codes in STREAMS_BLOCKED_BIDI: illegal frame type in handshake), so the client never reached the anomaly.

The run did not establish what this client does here — either it was never put in the situation, or its answer admits more than one reading. Not a failure, and never counted as one.

Required behaviour

Handle it as an error against that one request, not the whole connection.

Reproduce it

The suite is the judge, so the reproduction is to point the same client at the same test and let the server report what it saw.

SESSION=$(curl -sX POST https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/session | jq -r .id)
# then drive xquic at the test URL and read the verdict:
curl -s https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/report/$SESSION.json | jq '.results["h-oversized-field-section"]'
