Research direction

Start by locating gnark-crypto's bls12381G2.SetBytes implementation and any tests covering serialized points. Reproduce the all-zero input case, then inspect the existing validation behavior and add coverage showing that this input is rejected. Done means the zero array is no longer accepted as a valid serialized point and the relevant tests pass.
