None of that has anything to do with adding hf_c1222_crypto_good to
the protocol tree, which is what is relevant for making a
"c1222.crypto_good" field work; where is the code that adds that to
the tree?

It does, but it's a bit indirect.  If the call to that function returns false, it's an indication that the encryption 
validation failed for some reason.

If "that function" is canonify_unencrypted_header(), then, if it returns false, it's an indication that the 
canonicalization of the header failed for some reason, so you can't even try to do the crypto.  If that can be done in 
a different fashion, as per my earlier suggestion, that code shouldn't even exist.

The code that actually does the crypto is in dissect_epsem(), which should only be called after all the header fields 
have been dissected.
