Research direction
Read the default key in lib/rack/session/constants.rb and its use in lib/rack/session/abstract/id.rb, then trace the Encryptor setup in lib/rack/session/cookie.rb and lib/rack/session/encryptor.rb. Verify that omitting the key and explicitly using "rack.session" produce the same signature, and confirm the existing session behavior remains intact.

Isn't used when configuring the Encryptor class:
use Rack::Session::Cookie and Rack::Session::Cookie, key: "rack.session" is the same, both give you a session cookie with key rack.session, but their signature will be different:
